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.
Wiring diagram
Inspection procedure
- Check mil
- Check that the malfunction indicator lamp (mil) lights up when turning the ignition switch on.
Ok: mil lights up
- Check communication between intelligent tester and ecm
- Connect the intelligent tester to the dlc3.
- Turn the ignition switch on and tester on.
- Check the communication between the tester and ecm.
- Check mil (throttle position sensor)
- Disconnect the b3 throttle body connector.
- Turn the ignition switch on.
- Check the mil.
- Reconnect the throttle body connector.
- Check mil (accelerator pedal position sensor)
- Disconnect the a4 accelerator pedal position sensor connector.
- Turn the ignition switch on.
- Check the mil.
- Reconnect the accelerator pedal position sensor connector.
- Check mil (canister pump module)

Ecm power source circuit
Description
When the ignition switch is turned on, the battery voltage is applied to the
igsw of the ecm. The output
signal from the mrel terminal of the ecm causes a current to flow to the coil, ...
Fuel pump control circuit
Description
When the engine is cranked, the starter relay drive signal output from the
star terminal of the ecm is
input into the sta terminal of the ecm, and ne signal generated by the

If a warning light turns on or
a warning buzzer sounds
Calmly perform the following actions if any of the warning
lights comes on or flashes. If a light comes on or flashes, but
then goes off, this does not necessarily indicate a malfunction
in the system. However, if this continues to occur, have
the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.

Vin not programmed or mismatch - ecm / pcm
Description
Dtc p0630 is set when the vehicle identification number (vin) is not stored
in the engine control module
(ecm) or the input vin is incorrect. Input the vin with the intelligent tester.
