Toyota RAV4 Service Manual: Engine control system malfunction
Description
If a malfunction in the engine control system is detected, the operations of vsc and trc are prohibited by the fail-safe function. When the signals from the engine are input normally, the fail-safe is canceled and the dtc is not stored.
Inspection procedure
- Check harness and connector (momentary interruption)
- Using the data list of the intelligent tester, check for any momentary interruption in the wire harness corresponding to the dtc (see page bc-23).
Ok: there are no momentary interruptions.
Hint:
Perform the above inspection before removing the sensor and connector.
- Check dtc for engine control system
- Clear the dtc (engine control system).
- Check the dtc (engine control system).
Result 
Repair engine control system
- Repair or replace harness and connector (ecm - skid control ecu)
- Reconfirm dtc
- Clear the dtc (see page bc-47).
- Perform a road test.
- Check if the same dtc is recorded (see page bc-47).

Open in abs solenoid relay circuit
Description
The solenoid relay supplies power to the abs solenoid and trc solenoid.
After the ignition switch is turned on, the vehicle speed has reached 6 km/h (4
mph) and the solenoid is

Ecm communication circuit malfunction
Description
The circuit is used to send trc and vsc control information from the skid
control ecu to the ecm, and
engine control information from the ecm to the skid control ecu.

Random / multiple cylinder misfire detected
Description
When the engine misfires, high concentrations of hydrocarbons (hc) enter the
exhaust gas. Extremely
high hc concentration levels can cause increases in exhaust emission levels.
High concentrations of hc
can also cause increases in the three-way catalytic converter (twc) te ...
Test mode procedure
Hint:
By switching the skid control ecu from normal mode to
test mode, abnormality detection sensitivity is enhanced
and troubleshooting can be conducted efficiently.
Perform a sensor check in test mode after the speed
sensor or sensor rotor has been repaired or replaced.
If the igniti ...
