Toyota RAV4 Service Manual: Turn signal light circuit
Description
The turn signal flasher relay (marking: flsh) in the main body ecu turns on when it receives signals from the headlight dimmer switch integrated with the turn signal switch, causing the turn signal lights to flash.
Wiring diagram
Inspection procedure
- Check operation of turn signal light
- When the turn signal light switch is operated, check that the appropriate turn signal light flashes.
- Inspect fuse (ecu-ig2, haz)
- Remove the ecu-ig2 fuse from the instrument panel junction block.
- Remove the haz fuse from the engine room no. 1 Relay block.
- Measure the resistance of the fuses.
Standard resistance:
below 1 
- Check wire harness (battery - turn signal flasher relay)
- Disconnect the ib instrument panel junction block connector.
- Remove the turn signal flasher relay from the instrument panel junction block.
- Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connectors.
Standard voltage 
- Inspect headlight dimmer switch
- Remove the headlight dimmer switch.
- Inspect the turn signal switch.
- Measure the resistance of the switch.
Standard resistance 
- Check wire harness (headlight dimmer switch - instrument panel junction block)
- Remove the turn signal flasher relay.
- Disconnect the e15 headlight dimmer switch connector.
- Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors and junction block.
Standard resistance 
Replace turn signal flasher relay
- Inspect front turn signal light
- Remove the front turn signal light.
- Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 1 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 2, then check that the light comes on.
Ok: light comes on.
- Check wire harness (instrument panel junction block - front turn signal light)
- Disconnect the a12 and a24 front turn signal light connectors.
- Disconnect the ib instrument panel junction block connector.
- Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.
Standard resistance 
Repair or replace harness and connector (front turn signal light - body ground)
- Inspect rear turn signal light
- Remove the rear combinationl light.
- Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 5 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 1, then check that the light comes on.
Ok: light comes on.
- Check wire harness (instrument panel junction block - rear turn signal light)
- Disconnect the k12 and k14 rear combination light connectors.
- Disconnect the ia instrument panel junction block connector.
- Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.
Standard resistance 
Repair or replace harness and connector (rear turn signal light - body ground)

Diagnosis system
Description
The occupant classification ecu controls the functions of
the occupant classification system on the vehicle. Data
of the occupant classification system can be read in the
data link connector 3 (dlc3) of the vehicle. When the
system seems to be malfunctioning, use the intelligen ...
Symptom simulation
Hint:
The most difficult case in troubleshooting is when no
problem symptoms occur. In such a case, a thorough
problem analysis must be carried out. A simulation of the
same or similar conditions and environment in which the
problem occurred in the customer's vehicle should be
carried out. No ...
