Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: Vc output circuit
Description
The ecm constantly generates 5 v power from the battery voltages supplied to
the +b (batt) terminal to
operate the microprocessor. The ecm also provides this power to the sensors
through the vc output
circuit.

When the vc circuit is short-circuited, the microprocessor in the ecm and
sensors that are supplied with
power through the vc circuit are inactivated because the power is not supplied
from the vc circuit. Under
this condition, the system does not start up and the mil does not illuminate
even if the system
malfunctions.
Hint:
Under normal conditions, the mil is illuminated for several seconds when the
ignition switch is first turned
on. The mil goes off when the engine is started.
