Toyota RAV4. Engine coolant temperature circuit range / performance problem


Monitor description

Engine coolant temperature (ect) sensor cold start monitor

When a cold engine start is performed and then the engine is warmed up, if the ect sensor value does not change, it is determined that a malfunction has occurred. If this is detected in 2 consecutive driving cycles, the mil is illuminated and a dtc is set.

Ect sensor soak monitor

After a warmed up engine is started, if the ect sensor value does not change when the engine is stopped and then the next cold engine start is performed, it is determined that a malfunction has occurred. If this is detected in 2 consecutive driving cycles, the mil is illuminated and a dtc is set.

Inspection procedure

Hint:

  1. Check any other dtcs output (in addition to dtc p0116)

  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the dlc3.
  2. Turn the ignition switch on.
  3. Turn the tester on.
  4. Select the following menu items: diagnosis / enhanced ii / dtc info / current codes.
  5. Read the dtc.

Toyota RAV4. Check any other dtcs output (in addition to dtc p0116)


  1. Inspect thermostat

  1. Remove the thermostat (see page co-15).
  2. Measure the valve opening temperature of the thermostat.

Standard value: 80°c to 84°c (176°f to 183°f)

Hint:

In addition to the above check, confirm that the valve is completely closed when the temperature is below the standard.

  1. Reinstall the thermostat (see page co-15).

 


Engine coolant temperature circuit
Description A thermistor, whose resistance value varies according to the ect, is built into the engine coolant temperature (ect) sensor. The structure of the sensor and its connection to th ...

Throttle / pedal position sensor / switch "A"
Hint: These dtcs relate to the throttle position (tp) sensor. Description The tp sensor is mounted on the throttle body, and detects the opening angle of the throttle valve. This sensor is a ...

Check for intermittent problems
Check for intermittent problems Hint: A momentary interruption (open circuit) in the connectors and/or wire harness between the sensors and ecus can be detected by using the ecu data list function of an intelligent tester. Turn the ignition switch off and connect the intelligent test ...

Reassembly
Hint: Use the same procedures for the rh side and lh side. The procedures listed below are for the lh side. Install seat lock release band Install the band with nut. Hint: After installing the band, feed it through the seatback frame hole towards the rear of the vehicle. I ...

Terminals of ecm
Check ecm Measure the voltage of the ecm connector. Hint: Each ecm terminal's standard voltage is shown in the table below. In the table, first follow the information under "condition". Look under "symbols (terminal no.)" For the terminals to be inspected. ...
