Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: Ecm / pcm internal engine off timer performance
Dtc summary
Description
To ensure the accuracy of the evap (evaporative emission) monitor values, the soak timer, which is built into the ecm, measures 5 hours (+-15 minutes) from when the ignition switch is turned off, before the monitor is run. This allows the fuel to cool down, which stabilizes the evap pressure. When 5 hours have elapsed, the ecm turns on.
Monitor description
5 Hours after the ignition switch is turned off, the soak timer activates the ecm to begin the evap system monitor. While the engine is running, the ecm monitors the synchronization of the soak timer and the cpu clock. If these two are not synchronized, the ecm interprets this as a malfunction, illuminates the mil and sets the dtc (2 trip detection logic).

Inspection procedure
Hint:
- Dtc p2610 is set if an internal ecm problem is detected. Diagnostic
procedures are not required.
Ecm replacement is necessary.
- Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
- Replace ecm
- Replace the ecm (see page es-429).
- Check whether dtc output recurs
- Connect the intelligent tester to the dlc3.
- Turn the ignition switch on.
- Turn the tester on.
- Clear dtcs (see page es-35).
- Start the engine and wait for 10 minutes or more.
- On the tester, select the following menu items: diagnosis / enhanced obd ii / dtc info / pending codes.
- If no pending dtc is displayed, the repair has been successfully completed.

Registration
Hint:
The key has 2 codes: the key code (immobiliser code) and
the wireless code (recognition code). Both of these codes
need to be registered. For wireless code registration
procedures, refer to the following procedures (see page dl-
46). For key code registration procedures, refer to the

Air mix damper control servo motor circuit (driver
side)
Description
The air mix damper servo sends pulse signals to indicate the damper position
to the air conditioning
amplifier. The air conditioning amplifier activates the motor (normal or
reverse) based on these signals to
move the air mix damper (driver seat) to the appropriate position. T ...
Throttle / pedal position sensor / switch "d" circuit range / performance
Description
Hint:
Refer to dtc p2120 (see page es-282).
Monitor description
When the difference between the output voltages of vpa and vpa2 deviates from
the standard, the ecm
determines that the accelerator pedal position (app) sensor is malfunctioning.
The ecm turns on the mil
and th ...
