Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: Taillight relay circuit
Description
When the light control switch, located on the headlight dimmer switch, is turned to the tail position, the taillight relay (marking: t-lp) turns on to illuminate the front side marker lights, rear taillights, side marker lights and license plate light.
Wiring diagram
Inspection procedure
- Check whether lights illuminate
- Check whether the following lights illuminate: front side marker lights, rear taillights, side marker lights and license plate light.
- Inspect fuse (tail)
- Remove the tail fuse from the instrument panel junction block.
- Measure the resistance of the fuse.
Standard resistance:
below 1 
- Check wire harness (battery - instrument panel junction block)
- Disconnect the ig instrument panel junction block connector.
- Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connector.
