Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: Hydraulic test
- Measure line pressure
Notice:
- Perform the test at the normal operating atf temperature: 50 to 80°c (122 to 176°f).
- The line pressure test should always be performed with at least 2 people. One person should observe the condition of the wheels or wheel chocks while the other is performing the test.
- Be careful to prevent sst's hose from interfering with the exhaust pipe.
- This test must be performed after checking and adjusting the engine.
- Perform the test with the a/c off.
- When conducting the stall test, do not continue for more than 10 seconds.
- Warm up the atf.
- Remove the test plug on the transaxle case center right side and connect sst.

- Fully apply the parking brake and chock the 4 wheels.
- Start the engine and check the idling speed.
- Keep your left foot firmly on the brake pedal and move the shift lever to d.
- Measure the line pressure when the engine is idling.
- Depress the accelerator pedal as much as possible with your right foot. Quickly read the highest line pressure reading when the engine speed reaches stall speed.
- Perform the measure line pressure test again with the shift lever on r.

Transmission fluid temperature sensor "A" circuit
Description
The automatic transmission fluid (atf) temperature sensor converts the atf
temperature into a
resistance value which is input into the ecm.
The ecm applies a voltage to the temperature sensor through ecm terminal tho1.
The sensor resistance changes with the atf temperature. ...
Mil circuit
Description
The mil (malfunction indicator lamp) is used to indicate vehicle malfunction
detections by the ecm.
When the ignition switch is turned on, power is supplied to the mil circuit, and
the ecm provides the
circuit ground which illuminates the mil.
The mil operation can be checked ...
