Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: General information
A large number of ecu controlled systems are used in the rav4. In general, ecu controlled systems are considered to be very intricate, requiring a high level of technical knowledge to troubleshoot. However, most problem checking procedures only involve inspecting the ecu controlled system's circuits one by one. An adequate understanding of the system and a basic knowledge of electricity is enough to perform effective troubleshooting, accurate diagnoses and necessary repairs.
For using intelligent tester
Connect the cable of the intelligent tester to the dlc3, turn the ignition switch on and attempt to use the tester. If the display indicates that a communication error has occurred, there is a problem either with the vehicle or with the tester.
* If communication is normal when the tester is connected to another vehicle, inspect the dlc3 of the original vehicle.
