Warning LightIlluminates to warn the driver of a malfunction in the 4WD system.
Speed Sensor (4)Detects the wheel speed of each 4 wheel.
Steering Angle SensorDetects the direction and angle of the steering wheel.
Yaw Rate & Deceleration SensorDetects the vehicle’s longitudinal and lateral acceleration.
Crankshaft Position SensorDetects the engine speed and outputs it to the ECM.
Accelerator Pedal Position SensorDetects the accelerator pedal position and outputs it to the ECM.
Throttle Position SensorDetects the throttle valve position and outputs it to the ECM.
Park / Neutral Position SwitchDetects the neutral position of the transaxle and outputs it to the
ECM.
Stop Light SwitchDetects the brake pedal depressing signal.
Parking Brake SwitchDetects when the parking brake lever is pulled up.
Four-wheel Drive Lock SwitchSwitches between the AUTO and LOCK modes.
4WD ECU
Controls the amperage that is applied to the electromagnetic
solenoid of the electric control coupling based on the signals
provided by the sensors in order to optimally distribute drive torque
in accordance with driving conditions.
ECMOutputs signals such as the shift position signal, throttle position
signal, and crankshaft position signal to the 4WD ECU.
Skid Control ECUOutputs signals such as the vehicle speed signal and deceleration
signal to the 4WD ECU.
Electric Control CouplingDistributes drive torque in accordance with the amperage applied
by the 4WD ECU.

Service Tip
When the 4WD ECU judges that the vehicle has become stable, it cancels the stopping of the 4WD
control and transfers to AUTO control. If the 4WD warning light blinks, take the following actions
without turning the engine OFF:
Drop the vehicle speed until the light goes out
Stop the vehicle and stay there until the light goes out
CH-71
6. Diagnosis
When the 4WD ECU detects a malfunction, the 4WD ECU makes a diagnosis and memorizes the failed
section. Furthermore, the 4WD warning light in the combination meter illuminates to inform the driver.
At the same time, the DTCs (Diagnosis Trouble Codes) are stored in memory. The DTCs can be read by
connecting a hand-held tester, or by connecting the SST (09843-18040) to the TC and CG terminals of
DLC3 and observing the blinks of the 4WD warning light.
For details of the DTCs that are stored in 4WD ECU memory, see the 2006 RAV4 Repair Manual (Pub. No.
RM01M1U).
7. Fail-safe
When there is a possibility of causing damage to the drive system due to a malfunction in the 4WD system
or rough driving, the system illuminates or blinks the 4WD warning light to inform the driver, stops the 4WD
controls, and enables the vehicle to operate in the front-wheel-drive mode.

3. INSPECT V-RIBBED BELT
(a) Visually check the belt for excessive wear, frayed
cords, etc.
If any defects are found, replace the V-ribbed belt.
HINT:
Cracks on the rib side of the belt are considered
acceptable. If the belt has chunks missing from the
ribs, it should be replaced.
(b) Check that the belt fits properly in the ribbed
grooves.
HINT:
Confirm by hand that the belt has not slipped out of
the grooves on the bottom of the pulley.
4. INSPECT GENERATOR WIRING
(a) Visually check the generator wiring.
(1) Check that the wiring is in good condition.
5. CHECK FOR ABNORMAL NOISES
(a) Listen for abnormal noises from the generator.
(1) Check that no abnormal noises are heard from
the generator while the engine is running.
6. INSPECT CHARGE WARNING LIGHT CIRCUIT
(a) Turn the ignition switch ON. Check that the charge
warning light comes on.
(b) Start the engine and check that the light goes off.
If the light does not operate as specified,
troubleshoot the charge warning light circuit.
7. INSPECT CHARGING CIRCUIT WITHOUT LOAD
(a) Connect a voltmeter and ammeter to the charging
circuit as follows.
(1) Disconnect the wire from terminal B of the
generator, then connect it to the negative (-)
lead of an ammeter.
(2) Connect the positive (+) lead of the ammeter to
terminal B of the generator.
(3) Connect the positive (+) lead of a voltmeter to
terminal B of the generator.
(4) Ground the negative (-) lead of the voltmeter.
(b) Check the charging circuit.
(1) Keep the engine speed at 2,000 rpm and check
the reading on the ammeter and voltmeter.
Standard amperage:
10 A or less
Standard voltage:
12.1 to 15.4 V
If the result is not as specified, replace the
generator.
HINT:
If the battery is not fully charged, the ammeter
reading will sometimes be more than the
standard amperage.
