SLLC is pre-mixed (the U.S.A. models: 50 % coolant and 50 % deionized water, the Canada. models:
55 % coolant and 45 % deionized water). Therefore, no dilution is needed when SLLC in the vehicle is
added or replaced.
If LLC is mixed with SLLC, the interval for LLC (every 25,000 miles / 40,000 km or 24 months
whichever comes first) should be used.
You can also apply the new maintenance interval (every 50,000 miles / 80,000 km) to vehicles initially
filled with LLC (red-colored), if you use SLLC (pink-colored) for the engine coolant change.

Service Tip
The inspection method differs from the conventional contact type accelerator pedal position sensor
because this non-contact type sensor uses a Hall IC.
For details, refer to the 2006 RAV4 Repair Manual (Pab. No. RM01M0U).
EG-42
Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor
The non-contact type accelerator pedal position sensor uses a Hall IC.
The magnetic yoke that is mounted at the accelerator pedal arm rotates around the Hall IC in accordance
with the amount of effort that is applied to the accelerator pedal. The Hall IC converts the changes in the
magnetic flux at that time into electrical signals, and outputs them as accelerator pedal effort to the ECM.
The Hall IC contains circuits for the main and sub signals. It converts the accelerator pedal depressed
angles into electric signals with two differing characteristics and outputs them to the ECM.

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.

e. Purge VSV Monitor
1) After completing an EVAP leak check, the ECM turns ON (open) the purge VSV with the leak
detection pump actuated, and introduces the atmospheric pressure from the intake manifold to the
canister.
2) If the pressure change at this time is within the normal range, the ECM determines the condition to
be normal.
3) If the pressure is out of the normal range, the ECM will stop the purge VSV monitor and store DTC
P0441 in its memory.

Throttle Position Sensor
The non-contact type throttle position sensor uses a Hall IC, which is mounted on the throttle body.
The Hall IC is surrounded by a magnetic yoke. The Hall IC converts the changes that occur in the
magnetic flux at that time into electrical signals and outputs them in the form of a throttle valve effort
to the ECM.
The Hall IC contains circuits for the main and sub signals. It converts the throttle valve opening angles
into electric signals with two differing characteristics and outputs them to the ECM.

CC–6CRUISE CONTROL – CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM

3. OPERATION OF CRUISE CONTROL
The cruise control switch operates 7 functions: SET,
COAST, TAP-DOWN, RESUME, ACCELERATION
(ACCEL), TAP-UP, and CANCEL. The SET, TAP-DOWN
and COAST functions, and the RESUME, TAP-UP and
ACCEL functions are operated with the same switch.
The cruise control switch is an automatic return type
switch which turns on only when pressed in each arrow
direction and turns off when released.
(a) SET CONTROL
Vehicle speed is stored and constant speed control
is maintained when pushing the switch to -/SET
while driving with the cruise control switch ON (the
CRUISE main indicator light is illuminated), and the
vehicle speed is within the set speed range
(between the low and high speed limits).
(b) COAST CONTROL
The ECM changes the cruise control demanding
throttle opening angle to 0
and decelerates the
vehicle when -/SET on the cruise control switch is
pressed and held while the cruise control system is
operating. When the cruise control switch is
released from -/SET, the vehicle speed is stored and
constant speed control is maintained.
HINT:
• The throttle valve is not fully closed due to idle
speed control, etc.
•w/ VSC:
The brake is also used to decelerate the vehicle.
(c) TAP-DOWN CONTROL
When tapping down the cruise control switch to -/
SET (for approximately 0.5 seconds) while the
cruise control system is in operation, the stored
vehicle speed decreases each time by
approximately 1.6 km/h (1.0 mph). When the cruise
control switch is released from -/SET and the
difference between the driving and stored vehicle
speed is less than 5 km/h (3 mph), the vehicle
speed is stored and constant speed control is
maintained.
(d) ACCEL CONTROL
The throttle valve motor of the throttle position
sensor and motor is instructed by the ECM to open
the throttle valve when +/RES on the cruise control
switch is pressed and held while the cruise control
system is operating. When the cruise control switch
is released from +/RES, the vehicle speed is stored
and constant speed is maintained.

CRUISE CONTROL – CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEMCC–7
CC
(e) TAP-UP CONTROL
When tapping up the cruise control switch to +/RES
(for approximately 0.5 seconds) while the cruise
control system is in operation, the stored vehicle
speed increases each time by approximately 1.6
km/h (1.0 mph). However, when the difference
between the driving and the stored vehicle speed is
more than 5 km/h (approximately 3.1 mph), the
stored vehicle speed will not be changed.
(f) RESUME CONTROL
If the cruise control operation was canceled with the
stop light switch or the CANCEL switch, and if
driving speed is within the set speed range, setting
the cruise control switch to +/RES restores the
vehicle speed memorized at the time of
cancellation, and constant speed is maintained.
(g) MANUAL CANCEL CONTROL
Performing any of the following cancels the cruise
control system (the stored vehicle speed in the ECM
is maintained).
• Depressing the brake pedal
• Moving the shift lever to any position except D or
3
• Pulling the cruise control switch to CANCEL
• Pushing the cruise control switch OFF (the
stored vehicle speed in the ECM is not
maintained)
4. AUTO CANCEL (FAIL-SAFE)
This system has an automatic cancellation function (fail-
safe) (see page CC-17).
