Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 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)

Replace timing chain cover oil seal
Hint:
There are 2 methods to replace the oil seal.
If the timing chain cover is removed from the
cylinder block:
Using a screwdriver and hammer, tap out the
oil seal.
Apply multi-purpose grease to the lip of a new
oil seal.

Data list / active tes
Read data list
Hint:
Using the intelligent tester's data list allows switch,
sensor, actuator and other item values to be read without
removing any parts. Reading the data list early in
troubleshooting is one way to save time.
Connect the intelligent tester (with can vim) to the

Freeze frame data
Description
Freeze frame data records the engine conditions (fuel
system, calculated load, engine coolant temperature,
fuel trim, engine speed, vehicle speed, etc.) When a
malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, it can
help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, the
engin ...
