Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: Fail-safe chart
- Fail safe operation
- If there is a problem with any sensor signals or
actuator systems, the skid control ecu prohibits the
power supply to the abs and traction actuator
and informs the ecm of vsc system failure.
The abs and traction actuator turns off the
solenoids and the ecm shuts off vsc control (traction
control signal) from the skid control ecu accordingly,
the result being that it is as if the abs, trc and vsc
systems were not installed.
- Abs control is prohibited, but ebd control continues
as far as possible. If ebd control is impossible, the
brake warning light comes on to warn the driver
(see page bc-44).
- If system components have any malfunctions before
starting control, the operation stops immediately. If
system components have any malfunctions during
control, the control stops gradually so as not to trigger
a sudden change in vehicle conditions.
If it is impossible to control the systems, the warning
light comes on to inform the driver of malfunctions in
the systems (see page bc-44).
Hint:
- If the abs system malfunctions, the brake system
operates normally without the abs system.
- If the brake actuator malfunctions, a gradual loss of
brake performance is expected, and abs system
control is prohibited.

Freeze frame data
Hint:
Whenever a dtc is detected or the abs operates,
the skid control ecu stores the current vehicle
(sensor) state as freeze frame data.
The skid control ecu stores ...
Read data list
Hint:
Using the intelligent tester's data list allows switch,
sensor, actuator and other item values to be read without
out removing any parts. Reading the data list early in
