Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: Open in abs solenoid relay circuit
Description
The solenoid relay supplies power to the abs solenoid and trc solenoid.
After the ignition switch is turned on, the vehicle speed has reached 6 km/h (4 mph) and the solenoid is determined to be normal by the initial check self-diagnosis, the relay switches on. If any open or short circuits are detected, the relay switches off.
These dtcs may be set if the voltage supply to the solenoid relay (+bs) falls below the dtc detection threshold due to the battery or alternator outputs being insufficient.
Hint:
Dtcs c0278/11 and c0279/12: the skid control ecu begins to detect these dtcs when the vehicle speed exceeds 6 km/h (4 mph).
Wiring diagram
Refer to dtc c0273/13, c0274/14, c1361/91 (see page bc-79).
Inspection procedure
- Inspect fuses (abs2)
- Remove the abs2 h-fuse from the engine room no. 1 Relay block.
- Measure the resistance of the fuse.
Standard resistance:
below 1 
- Check wire harness (skid control ecu - battery and body ground)
- Disconnect the a19 ecu connector.
- Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connector.
Standard voltage 
- Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connector.
Standard resistance 
- Reconfirm dtc
- Clear the dtcs (see page bc-47).
- Start the engine.
- Drive the vehicle at 6 km/h (4 mph) or more to activate the initial check.
- Check if the same dtcs is output (see page bc-47).

Replace abs and traction actuator assembly
Solenoid circuit
Description
This solenoid is turned on in accordance with signals from the skid control
ecu and controls the pressure
on the wheel cylinders to control the braking force.

Engine control system malfunction
Description
If a malfunction in the engine control system is detected, the operations of
vsc and trc are prohibited
by the fail-safe function. When the signals from the engine are input normal ...

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 ...
Trailer towing tips
Your vehicle will handle differently when towing a trailer. Help to avoid
an accident, death or serious injury, keep the following in mind when
towing:
Speed limits for towing a trailer vary by state or province. Do not
exceed the posted towing speed limit.
Toyota recommends that the vehic ...
Shift solenoid "d" control circuit
Description
Shifting from 1st to o/d is performed in combination with the on and off
operation of the shift solenoid
valves sl1 and sl2, which are controlled by the ecm. If an open or short circuit
occurs in any of the shift
solenoid valves, the ecm controls the remaining normal shift sol ...
