Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: Brake pedal load sensing switch
Description
The brake pedal load sensing switch is turned on when the brake pedal is depressed with force exceeding a predetermined level.
The skid control ecu detects if the brake pedal is depressed or not via this circuit.
Wiring diagram
Inspection procedure
Notice:
When replacing the brake actuator assembly, perform zero point calibration (see page bc-24).
Hint:
If dtc c1249/49 is output, repair it before repairing dtc c1267/67 based on the flowchart below.
- Read value of intelligent tester (brake pedal load sensing switch)
- Check the data list for proper functioning of the brake pedal load sensing switch.
Ok: on (brake pedal is depressed) appears on the screen.
- Inspect brake pedal load sensing switch
Notice:
- Do not remove the brake pedal load sensing switch from the brake pedal.
- When there is a malfunction in the brake pedal load sensing switch, replace the brake pedal.
- Turn the ignition switch off.
- Disconnect the brake pedal load sensing switch connector.
- Measure the resistance of the switch.
Standard resistance
- Check wire harness (skid control ecu - brake pedal load sensing switch)
- Disconnect the a19 ecu connector.
- Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.
Standard resistance 
- Reconfirm dtc
- Clear the dtc (see page bc-47).
- Check if the same dtc is recorded (see page bc-47).
Result 
Use simulation method to check
Open in pump motor circuit
Description
The motor relay drives the pump motor based on a signal from the skid control
ecu.
Wiring diagram
Refer to dtc c0273/13, c0274/14, c1361/91 (see page bc-79).

Steering angle sensor zero point malfunction
Description
The skid control ecu learns the steering sensor zero point every time the
ignition switch is turned on and
the vehicle is driven at 35 km/h (22 mph) or more for approximately 5 sec ...

Diagnosis system
Description
Air conditioning system data and the diagnostic
trouble codes (dtcs) can be read through the
data link connector 3 (dlc3) of the vehicle. When
the system seems to be malfunctioning, use the
intelligent tester to check for malfunctions and
perform troubleshooting.

Transmission control cable assembly
Replacement
Remove rear console box sub-assembly
Remove the console box (see page ip-20).
Disconnect cable from negative battery
terminal
Caution:
Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the
cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to
prevent airbag and seat belt pre ...
Master cylinder pressure sensor malfunction
Description
The master cylinder pressure sensor is connected to the skid control ecu in
the abs and traction
actuator.
Dtc c1281/81 can be detected when the master cylinder pressure sensor sends a
master cylinder
pressure signal or test mode ends. Dtc c1281/81 is output only in test mo ...
