Toyota RAV4. Engine coolant temperature circuit range / performance problem


Monitor description

Engine coolant temperature (ect) sensor cold start monitor

When a cold engine start is performed and then the engine is warmed up, if the ect sensor value does not change, it is determined that a malfunction has occurred. If this is detected in 2 consecutive driving cycles, the mil is illuminated and a dtc is set.

Ect sensor soak monitor

After a warmed up engine is started, if the ect sensor value does not change when the engine is stopped and then the next cold engine start is performed, it is determined that a malfunction has occurred. If this is detected in 2 consecutive driving cycles, the mil is illuminated and a dtc is set.

Inspection procedure

Hint:

  1. Check any other dtcs output (in addition to dtc p0116)

  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the dlc3.
  2. Turn the ignition switch on.
  3. Turn the tester on.
  4. Select the following menu items: diagnosis / enhanced ii / dtc info / current codes.
  5. Read the dtc.

Toyota RAV4. Check any other dtcs output (in addition to dtc p0116)


  1. Inspect thermostat

  1. Remove the thermostat (see page co-15).
  2. Measure the valve opening temperature of the thermostat.

Standard value: 80°c to 84°c (176°f to 183°f)

Hint:

In addition to the above check, confirm that the valve is completely closed when the temperature is below the standard.

  1. Reinstall the thermostat (see page co-15).

 


Engine coolant temperature circuit
Description A thermistor, whose resistance value varies according to the ect, is built into the engine coolant temperature (ect) sensor. The structure of the sensor and its connection to th ...

Throttle / pedal position sensor / switch "A"
Hint: These dtcs relate to the throttle position (tp) sensor. Description The tp sensor is mounted on the throttle body, and detects the opening angle of the throttle valve. This sensor is a ...

Starter relay circuit high
Description While the engine is being cranked, the positive battery voltage is applied to terminal sta of the ecm. If the ecm detects the starter control (sta) signal while the vehicle is being driven, it determines that there is a malfunction in the sta circuit. The ecm then illuminates ...

Shift position purpose
*1: Shifting the shift lever to d allows the system to select a gear suitable for the driving conditions. Setting the shift lever to d is recommended for normal driving. *2: Selecting shift ranges using s mode restricts the upper limit of the possible gear ranges, controls engine bra ...

Removal
Caution: Be sure to read the precautionary notices concerning the srs airbag system before servicing it (see page rs-1). Disconnect cable from negative battery terminal Caution: Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to prevent air ...
