Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: Battery temperature sensor circuit
Description
The battery temperature sensor installed on the battery current sensor detects battery temperature.
A thermistor is integrated into the battery temperature sensor, and the resistance in the battery temperature sensor changes according to the battery temperature.
The resistance of the thermistor in the battery temperature sensor decreases as the battery temperature increases. The resistance increases as the temperature decreases.
The battery temperature sensor is connected to the ecm. The ecm supplies 5 v from the thb terminal to the battery temperature sensor through resistor r.
The battery temperature sensor and resistor r are connected in series. This results in fluctuations in the voltage supplied from the thb terminal when the resistance changes according to the battery temperature.
The ecm determines the battery temperature according to fluctuations in voltage. When the battery temperature is high, the ecm determines to reduce the amount of current supplied from the generator in order to protect the battery.

Inspection procedure
- Inspect battery current sensor
- Disconnect the b29 battery current sensor connector.
- Measure the resistance.
Standard resistance 
- Check harness and connector (battery current sensor - ecm)
- Disconnect the b29 battery current sensor connector.
- Disconnect the b30 ecm connectors.
- Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.
Standard resistance (check for open)
Standard resistance (check for short)

Description
The electronic throttle control system (etcs) controls the engine idling
speed. The etcs operates the
throttle actuator to open and close the throttle valve, and adjusts the intake ...
System voltage
Description
The battery supplies electricity to the ecm even when the ignition switch is
in the off position. This
power allows the ecm to store data such as dtc history, freeze frame data and ...

Downhill assist control system
The downhill assist control
system helps to prevent
excessive speed on steep
downhill slopes.
The system will operate
when the vehicle is traveling
under 15 mph (25 km/h) with
the accelerator and brake
pedals released.
WARNING
â– When using downhill assist
control system
Do not rely overmuch on the ...
Installation (2005/11-2006/01)
Install abs and traction actuator assembly with bracket
Notice:
Do not remove the hole plug before connecting the
brake tube. New actuators are filled with brake fluid.
Install the actuator with bracket with the 3 nuts.
Torque: 19 n*m (194 kgf*cm, 14 ft.*Lbf)
Hint:
The nuts shou ...
