If ETCS-i (Electronic Throttle Control
System-intelligent) has a malfunction, ECM
cuts off current to throttle control motor.
Throttle control valve returns to predetermined
opening angle (approximately 6.5
) by force of
return spring. ECM then adjusts engine output
by controlling fuel injection (intermittent
fuel-cut) and ignition timing in accordance with
accelerator pedal opening angel to enable
vehicle to continue driving at minimal speed. If
accelerator pedal is depressed firmly and
slowly, vehicle can be driven slowly. If
accelerator pedal is depressed quickly, vehicle
may speed up and slow down erratically.If “Pass” condition is detected and
then the ignition switch is turned
OFF, fail-safe operation will stop
and system will return to normal
operating conditions.

Accelerator pedal position sensor has two (main
and sub) sensor circuits. If a malfunction occurs
in either of sensor circuits, ECM detects
abnormal signal voltage difference between two
sensor circuits and switches into limp mode. In
limp mode, remaining circuit is used to calculate
accelerator pedal opening to allow vehicle to
continue driving. If both circuits malfunction,
ECM regards opening angle of accelerator pedal
to be fully closed. In this case, throttle valve will
remain closed as if engine is idling.
If “Pass” condition is detected and
then the ignition switch is turned
OFF, fail-safe operation will stop
and system will return to normal
operating conditions.

2GR-FE ENGINE
DESCRIPTION
The 2GR-FE engine on the ’06 RAV4 is a newly developed, V6 3.5-liter, 24-valve DOHC engine. This engine
uses the Dual VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing-intelligent) system, DIS (Direct Ignition System), ACIS
(Acoustic Control Induction System), and ETCS-i (Electronic Throttle Control System-intelligent). These
control functions achieve improved engine performance, fuel economy, and reduced exhaust emissions.

CHASSIS - 4WD SYSTEM CH-66
4WD SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
The 4WD system of the ’06 RAV4 uses an active torque control 4WD system.
It is a compact, lightweight, and high performance 4WD system that optimally controls the torque
distribution to the front and rear wheels through the electric control coupling in the rear differential.
ACTIVE TORQUE CONTROL 4WD SYSTEM
1. General
Based on information provided by various sensors, the 4WD ECU controls the amperage that is applied
to the electric control coupling, in order to transmit drive torque to the rear wheels when needed, and in
the amount needed. The following describes the features of the active torque control 4WD system.
Traction performance
Realizes stable start-off and acceleration performance
Driving stability performanceRealizes stable cornering performance
Fuel economyRealizes better fuel economy by transmitting drive torque to the rear
wheels when needed, in the amount needed.
A four-wheel drive lock switch has been provided. This enables the driver to select between the AUTO
and LOCK modes by operating the switch. The system optimally controls the torque distribution to the
front and rear wheels in the respective modes.

Outline
AUTOOFF
Optimally distributes drive torque to the front and rear wheels.
Ensures optimal start-off performance during a start-off, based on
information provided by various sensors.
Suppresses the tight corner braking phenomenon* during low-speed
cornering.
Reduces the amount of torque distribution to the rear wheels and
improves fuel economy when the system judges that the vehicle is
traveling steadily.
Disengages the 4WD during braking deceleration.
LOCKON
Distributes the maximum torque limit to the rear wheels.
Distributes the maximum torque limit to the rear wheels during
start-off.
Distributes optimal torque during low-speed cornering.
Disengages the 4WD during braking deceleration.
Disengages the LOCK mode and transfers to the AUTO mode when
the vehicle speed exceeds 40 km / h (25 mph).
*: Tight corner braking phenomenon: a condition in which the brakes are applied due to a rotational difference
between the front and rear wheels, such as during low-speed cornering in the 4WD mode.
The 4WD ECU effects cooperative control with the skid control ECU, in order to control the drive torque
distribution to the front and rear wheels in accordance with information received from the skid control
ECU. These controls ensure a smooth acceleration and driving stability.
