Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: How to proceed with troubleshooting
Hint:
Perform troubleshooting in accordance with the following flowchart.
*: Use the intelligent tester.
- Vehicle brought to workshop
- Inspect battery voltage
Standard voltage: 11 to 14 v
If the voltage is below 11 v, recharge or replace the battery before proceeding.
- Problem symptom confirmation
- Check can communication system*
- Check for dtc (see page ps-11).
Result 
Hint:
- When any can communication system dtcs are output, perform troubleshooting on the can communication system first.
- When communication to the power steering ecu is not established through the intelligent tester, inspect terminals sil of the dlc3 and the power steering ecu, and the ig circuit of the power steering ecu.
- Check dtc*
- Check for dtc (see page ps-11).
Result 
- Problem symptoms table
Result 
- Overall analysis and troubleshooting*
- Terminals of ecu (see page ps-8).
- Data list / active test (see page ps-14).
- Repair or replace
- Confirmation test

Inspection
Inspect cylinder head for warpage
Using a precision straightedge and feeler gauge,
measure the warpage of the contact surfaces of the
cylinder block and manifolds.
Maximum warpage:
0.08 Mm (0.0032 In.)
If the warpage is greater than the maximum, replace
the cylinder head sub-a ...
Open in can main wire
Description
There may be an open circuit in the can main wire and / or the dlc3 branch
wire when the resistance
between terminals 6 (canh) and 14 (canl) of the dlc3 is 69 ù or more.
