Toyota RAV4 Service Manual: How to proceed with troubleshooting
Hint:
- Use these procedures to troubleshoot the cruise control system.
- *: 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.
- Check communication function of can communication system*
- Use the intelligent tester (with can vim) to check if the can communication system is functioning normally.
Result: 
- Check indicator light
- Check dtc*
- Check for a dtc and note any codes that are output.
- Delete the dtc.
- Recheck for dtcs, and try to prompt the dtc by simulating the original activity that the dtc suggests.
Result 
- Overall analysis and troubleshooting*
- Terminals of ecm (see page cc-13)
- Data list / active test (see page cc-17 )
- Repair or replace
- Confirmation test
