Title: A25A-FXS (ENGINE CONTROL): SFI SYSTEM (w/o Canister Pump Module): P261029; ECM/PCM Engine Off Timer Performance Signal Invalid; 2019 - 2020 MY RAV4 HV [11/2018 - 08/2020]

DTC

P261029

ECM/PCM Engine Off Timer Performance Signal Invalid

DESCRIPTION

The soak timer operates after the power switch is turned off. When a certain amount of time has elapsed since the power switch was turned off, the soak timer activates the ECM to perform malfunction checks which can only be performed after the power switch is turned off. The soak timer is built into the ECM.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

  • Vehicle Control History may be stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly if the engine is malfunctioning. Certain vehicle condition information is recorded when Vehicle Control History is stored. Reading the vehicle conditions recorded in both the freeze frame data and Vehicle Control History can be useful for troubleshooting.

  • If any "Engine Malfunction" Vehicle Control History item has been stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly, make sure to clear it. However, as all Vehicle Control History items are cleared simultaneously, if any Vehicle Control History items other than "Engine Malfunction" are stored, make sure to perform any troubleshooting for them before clearing Vehicle Control History.

HINT:

  • DTC P261029 is stored if an internal ECM problem is detected. In this case, diagnostic not required. ECM replacement is required.
  • Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

PROCEDURE
