Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: Check 4wd control ecu (for 4wd)
Notice:
- Turn the ignition switch off before measuring the
resistances of the main wire and 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 as
is for at least 1 minute and do not operate the ignition
switch, any other switches or the 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 other switches or the doors
triggers related ecu and sensor communication with the
can, which causes resistance variation.
- Junction connector
- No. 1 Junction connector


- No. 2 Junction connector

Fuel information
You must only use unleaded gasoline in your vehicle.
Select octane rating 87 (research octane number 91) or higher.
Use of unleaded gasoline with an octane rating lower than 87
may result in engine knocking. Persistent knocking can lead to
engine damage.
At minimum, the gasoline you use sho ...
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.
