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.

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.
