Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: Communication
Description
The skid control ecu sends signals such as cruise control cancel demand signals and brake operation demand from ecm response signals to the ecm when the cruise control system is in operation.
Inspection procedure
Hint:
This circuit uses can communication. Therefore, if there are any malfunctions in the communication circuit, one or more dtcs in the can communication system are output.
- Check can communication system
Refer to how to proceed with troubleshooting (see page ca-8).
Description
Therefore, if the skid control ecu detects a communication error from the ecm, it sends a malfunction signal back to the ecm.
Inspection procedure
Hint:
This circuit uses can communication. Therefore, if there are any malfunctions in the communication circuit, one or more dtcs in the can communication system are output.
- Check can communication system

Cruise control switch circuit
Description
This circuit sends signals to the ecm depending on the cruise control switch
condition. The battery
supplies positive (+) battery voltage to the cruise control switch. Then
terminal ...
Other materials:
System voltage
Description
The battery supplies electricity to the ecm even when the ignition switch is
in the off position. This
power allows the ecm to store data such as dtc history, freeze frame data and
fuel trim values. If the
battery voltage falls below a minimum level, the memory is cleared and ...
Multiplex communication circuit
Description
The air conditioning amplifier communicates data with the ecm and combination
meter through the can
communication system.

Mil circuit
Description
The mil (malfunction indicator lamp) is used to indicate vehicle malfunction
detections by the ecm.
When the ignition switch is turned on, power is supplied to the mil circuit, and
the ecm provides the
circuit ground which illuminates the mil.
The mil operation can be checked ...
