Toyota RAV4 Service Manual: Downhill assist control operation switch (test mode dtc)
Description
The downhill assist control switch is connected to the skid control ecu in the abs and traction actuator.
Dtc c1379/74 can be detected when the downhill assist control switch sends the downhill assist control switch signal or test mode ends. Dtc c1379/74 is output only in test mode.
Wiring diagram
Refer to downhill assist control switch circuit (see page bc-157).
Inspection procedure
Notice:
When replacing the abs and traction actuator, perform zero point calibration (see page bc-24).
- Check wire harness (skid control ecu - body ground)
- Disconnect the a19 ecu.
- Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connector.
Standard resistance 
- Inspect downhill assist control switch
- Remove the downhill assist control switch.
- Measure the resistance of the switch.

Stop light control relay malfunction
Description
The skid control ecu inputs the stop light switch signal and detects the status of the brake operation.
Wiring diagram
Inspection procedure
Notice:
When replacing the abs and traction actuator, perform zero point calibration (see page bc-24).
- Check stop light (operation)
- Check that the light illuminates when the brake pedal is depressed, and turns off when the brake pedal is released.
Ok 
- Check wire harness (skid control ecu - battery)
- Disconnect the a19 ecu connector.
- Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connector.

- Check wire harness (skid control ecu)
- Disconnect the a19 ecu connector.
- Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connector
Standard resistance 
- Perform active test by intelligent tester (stop light relay)
- Select the active test, generate a control command, and then check that the stop light relay operates.
Ok: the stop lights illuminate or turn off.
- Reconfirm dtc
- Clear the dtc (see page bc-47).
- Start the engine.
- Drive the vehicle at a speed of 5 km/h (3 mph) or more for several seconds.
- Check if the same dtc is output (see page bc-47).
Result 
Replace abs and traction actuator assembly
- Inspect stop light control relay (marking: brk)
- Remove the stop light control relay from the engine room no. 1 Relay block.
- Measure the resistance of the relay.

Different diameter tire malfunction
Description
The skid control ecu measures the speed of each wheel by receiving signals
from the speed sensor.
These signals are used for recognizing that all 4 wheels are operating properly. ...

Switch failure
Description
This dtc is output when the sliding roof drive gear (sliding roof ecu)
detects that the slide open or
tilt up switch in the overhead junction block is stuck for 30 seconds or more.
