1996 TOYOTA RAV4 Electric diagram

* The system shown here is an EXAMPLE ONLY. It is different to the actual circuit shown in the SYSTEM CIRCUITS SECTION.
H POWER SOURCE (Current Flow Chart)
The chart below shows the route by which current flows from the battery to each electrical source (Fusible Link, Circuit
Breaker, Fuse, etc.) and other parts.
The next page and following pages show the parts to which each electrical source outputs current.
POWER SOURCE
8
B HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
The Current Flow Chartº section, describes which parts each power source (fuses, fusible links, and circuit breakers)
transmits current to. In the Power Source circuit diagram, the conditions when battery power is supplied to each system are
explained. Since all System Circuit diagrams start from the power source, the power source system must be fully understood.

17
E
1. NORMALLY
OPENOpens and
closes circuits,
thereby
stopping (1) or
allowing (2)
current flow.
RESISTOR
An electrical component with a
fixed resistance, placed in a circuit
to reduce voltage to a specific
value.
RESISTOR, TAPPED
A resistor which supplies two or
more different non adjustable
resistance values.
SENSOR (Thermistor)
A resistor which varies its
resistance with temperature.
SHORT PIN
Used to provide an unbroken
connection within a junction
block.
SOLENOID
An electromagnetic coil which
forms a magnetic field when
current flows, to move a plunger,
etc.SWITCH, DOUBLE THROW
A switch which continuously
passes current through one set
of contacts or the other.
SWITCH,
IGNITION
A key operated switch with
several positions which allows
various circuits, particularly the
primary ignition circuit, to
become operational.
Wires are always
drawn as straight lines
on wiring diagrams.
Crossed wires (1)
without a black dot at
the junction are not
joined; crossed wires
(2) with a black dot or
octagonal (
) mark at
the juction as spliced
(joined) connections. RELAY, DOUBLE THROW
A relay which passes current
through one set of contacts or the
other.
SENSOR, SPEED
Uses magnetic impulses to open
and close a switch to create a
signal for activation of other
components.TRANSISTOR
A solid state device typically used
as an electronic relay; stops or
passes current depending on the
voltage applied at base.º SWITCH, WIPER PARK
Automatically returns wipers to
the stop position when the wiper
switch is turned off. SWITCH, MANUAL SPEAKER
An electromechanical device
which creates sound waves from
current flow.
2. NORMALLY
CLOSED
RESISTOR, VARIABLE OR
RHEOSTAT
A controllable resistor with a
variable rate of resistance.
Also called a potentiometer or
rheostat. 2. NORMALLY
OPEN RELAY
1. NORMALLY
CLOSEDBasically, an electrically
operated switch which may
be normally closed (1) or
open (2).
Current flow through a
small coil creates a
magnetic field which either
opens or closes an
attached switch.
(2) SPLICED WIRES
(1) NOT
CONNECTED
