ControlMaintains the temperature of the air-fuel ratio sensor or oxygen sensor at an
appropriate level to realize accuracy of detection of the oxygen concentration in
the exhaust gas.
Air Conditioning
Cut-off ControlBy turning the air conditioning compressor ON or OFF in accordance with the
engine condition, drivability is maintained.
Cooling Fan Control
(See page EG-52)Radiator cooling fan operation is controlled by signals from ECM based on the
engine coolant temperature sensor signal and the condition of the air
conditioning operation.
Fuel Pump Control
(See page EG-53)Fuel pump operation is controlled by signal from the ECM.
The fuel pump is stopped when the SRS driver’s and front passenger’s airbags
are deployed.
Evapotative Emission
The ECM controls the purge flow of evaporative emissions (HC) in the canister
in accordance with engine conditions.
Evapotative Emission
Control
(See page EG-54)Approximately five hours after the ignition switch has been turned OFF, the
ECM operates the canister pump module to detect any evaporative emission
leakage occurring in the EVAP (evaporative emission) control system through
changes in the 0.02 in. leak pressure.
Charging Control
(See page EG-65)The ECM regulates the charging voltage of the generator in accordance with the
driving conditions and the charging state of the battery.

Service Tip
The canister pump module performs the EVAP leak check. This check is done approximately five
hours after the engine is turned off. So you may hear sound coming from underneath the luggage
compartment for several minutes. It does not indicate a malfunction.
The pinpoint pressure test procedure is carried out by pressurizing the fresh air line that runs from
the pump module to the air filler neck. For details, refer to the 2006 RAV4 Repair Manual (Pub.
No. RM01M1U).

10. EVAP (evaporative Emission) Control System
General
The EVAP (evaporative emission) control system prevents the vapor gas that is created in the fuel tank from
being released directly into the atmosphere.
The canister stores the vapor gas that has been created in the fuel tank.
The ECM controls the purge VSV in accordance with the driving conditions in order to direct the vapor
gas into the engine, where it is burned.
In this system, the ECM checks the evaporative emission leak and outputs DTC (Diagnostic Trouble
Code) in the event of a malfunction. An EVAP (evaporative emission) leak check consists of an
application of a vacuum pressure to the system and monitoring the changes in the system pressure in order
to detect a leakage.
This system consists of the purge VSV, canister, refueling valve, canister pump module, and ECM.
The ORVR (Onboard Refueling Vapor Recovery) function is provided in the refueling valve.
The canister pressure sensor has been included to the canister pump module.
The canister filter has been provided on the fresh air line. This canister filter is maintenance-free.
The followings are the typical conditions for enabling an EVAP leak check:
Typical Enabling
Condition
Five hours have elapsed after the engine has been turned OFF*.
Altitude: Below 2400 m (8000 feet)
Battery voltage: 10.5 V or more
Ignition switch: OFF
Engine coolant temperature: 4.4 to 35C (40 to 95F)
Intake air temperature: 4.4 to 35C (40 to 95F)
*: If engine coolant temperature does not drop below 35C (95F), this time should be extended to 7hours.
Even after that, if the temperature is not less than 35
C (95F), the time should be extended to 9.5 hours.

11. Charging Control
General
This system lowers the generated voltage when the vehicle is idling or is being driven at a constant speed,
and raises the generated voltage when the vehicle is decelerating. This reduces the load on the engine as
a result of the electric generation of the generator, thus contributing to the fuel economy of the engine.
During acceleration, this system regulates the generated voltage in order to place the amperage estimation
value close to the target value.
This control consists of the ECM, battery current sensor with a built-in battery temperature sensor,
generator, and various sensors and switches.
The ECM detects driving condition based on signals from various sensors and switches, and detects
charging condition based on signals from the generator, battery current sensor and battery temperature
sensor. Then the ECM outputs signals to the IC regulator to control the genetated voltage of the generator.
The ECM stops the charging control and the generator switches to normal power generation mode under
the following conditions:
Low battery capacity
Low or high battery temparature
Wipers operating or blower motor operating with tail lamp relay ON

Battery Current Sensor
Installed on the negative terminal of the battery, this sensor detects the amount of charging and discharging
amperage of the battery and sends signal to the ECM. Based on this signal, the ECM calculates the battery
capacity. A Hall IC is used for detecting the amount of charging and discharging amperage. The changes
that occur in the magnetic flux density in the core as a result of the charging and amperage of the battery
are converted and output as voltage.
Batter Temperature Sensor
The battery temperature sensor is built into the battery current sensor.
The battery characteristic (battery internal resistance) of taking in current for charging varies according
to battery electrolyte temperature. If the electrolyte temperature is too low or too high, the battery internal
resistance will increase, resulting in early deterioration. To prevent this, the battery temperature sensor
changes its resistance as shown below to detect the temperature.

Service Tip
To clear the DTC that is stored in the ECM, use a hand-held tester or disconnect the battery terminal
or remove the EFI fuse for 1 minute or longer.
EG-67
Fail-safe
Due to a failure in the battery current sensor or battery temperature sensor, the ECM may determine the
necessity of performing a fail-safe operation. Then, the ECM stops the charging control and the generator
switches to the normal power generation mode.
When the ECM detects a malfunction in a sensor, the ECM memorizes the DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code).
The MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) does not illuminate.

12. Diagnosis
When the ECM detects a malfunction, the ECM makes a diagnosis and memorizes the failed section.
Furthermore, the MIL in the combination meter illuminates or blinks to inform the driver.
The ECM will also store the DTCs of the malfunctions. The DTCs can be accessed by the use of the
hand-held tester.
For details, refer to the 2006 RAV4 Repair Manual (Pub. No. RM01M1U).
13. Fail-safe
When a malfunction is detected at any of the sensors, there is a possibility of an engine or other malfunction
occurring if the ECM were to continue to control the engine control system in the normal way. To prevent
such a problem, the fail-safe function of the ECM either relies on the data stored in memory to allow the
engine control system to continue operating, or stops the engine if a hazard is anticipated. For details, refer
to the 2006 RAV4 Repair Manual (Pub. No. RM01M1U).
