Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: Abs warning light remains on
Description
If any of the following conditions are detected, the abs warning light remains on:
- The ecu connectors are disconnected from the skid control ecu.
- There is a malfunction in the skid control ecu internal circuit.
- There is an open or short in the wire harness between the combination meter and the skid control ecu.
Hint:
The intelligent tester may not be used when there is a malfunction in the skid control ecu.
Wiring diagram
Inspection procedure
- Check can communication system
- Check if the can communication system dtc is output (see page ca-34).
Result 
- Inspect skid control ecu connector
- Check if the skid control ecu connector is properly installed.
Ok: the skid control ecu connector is properly installed.
- Check wire harness (skid control ecu - battery and body ground)
- Disconnect the a19 ecu connector.
- Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connector.
Standard resistance 
- Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connector.
Standard voltage 
- Perform active test by intelligent tester (abs warning light)
- Select the active test, generate a control command, and then check that the abs warning light operates.
Ok: the abs warning light is turned on or off.
Hint:
When the abs warning light remains illuminated, opens in the wire harness of the combination meters or abnormalities in the meter circuit should be considered.
