Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: Communication malfunction no. 1
Description
This dtc is output when a communication error occurs between the transponder key amplifier and transponder key ecu. Some possible reasons for the communication error are: 1) 2 or more ignition keys are positioned too close together, or 2) noise is occurring in the communication line.
Wiring diagram
Inspection procedure
- Check key
- Check if the ignition key being used is near other ignition keys. Also, check if the key ring is in contact with the key grip.
Result:
- Check for dtc
- Separate the keys from each other and / or remove the key ring.
- Clear the dtc (see page ei-18).
- Insert a key into the ignition key cylinder. Remove it.
Repeat for all other keys.
- Check that no dtc is output.
Ok: no dtc is output.
- Check transponder key ecu (noise)
- Using an oscilloscope or the intelligent tester, check for noise in the waveform between the terminals of the e5 amplifier connector and e46 ecu connector.
Ok:
no noise is present (see illustration).
- Check wire harness (transponder key ecu - transponder key amplifier)
- Disconnect the e46 ecu connector.
- Disconnect the e5 amplifier connector.
- Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.
Standard resistance 
- Check transponder key amplifier (operation)
- Temporarily replacing the transponder key amplifier with a new or normally functioning one.
- Check that the engine starts normally.
Ok: engine starts.
End (transponder key amplifier is defective)
