Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: Can bus line
Description
When any dtc for the can communication system is output, first measure the resistance between the terminals of the dlc3 to specify the trouble area, and check that there is not a short in the can main wire, between the main wire, to +b, or to gnd.
Wiring diagram
Inspection procedure
Notice:
- Turn the ignition switch off before measuring the resistances of the main wire and the branch wire.
- After the ignition switch is turned off, check that the key reminder warning system and light reminder warning system are not in operation.
- Before measuring the resistance, leave the vehicle for at least 1 minute and do not operate the ignition switch, any switches or doors. If doors need to be opened in order to check connectors, open the doors and leave them open.
Hint:
Operating the ignition switch, any switches or any doors triggers related ecu and sensor communication with the can, which causes resistance variation.
- Check can bus wire (main wire for open, can bus lines for short circuit)
- Measure the resistance of the dlc3.
Standard resistance
- Check can bus line for short to +b
- Measure the resistance of the dlc3.

Open in can main wire
Description
There may be an open circuit in the can main wire and / or the dlc3 branch
wire when the resistance
between terminals 6 (canh) and 14 (canl) of the dlc3 is 69 ù or more.

Ecm power source circuit
Description
When the ignition switch is turned on, the battery voltage is applied to the
igsw of the ecm. The output
signal from the mrel terminal of the ecm causes a current to flow to the coil,
closing the contacts of the
integration relay (efi main relay) and supplying power to either term ...

Check the throttle control motor operating sounds.
Turn the ignition switch on.
When pressing the accelerator pedal, check
the operating sound of the running motor. Make
sure that no friction noises emit from the motor.
If friction noise exists, replace t ...
