                        | Title: THEFT DETERRENT / KEYLESS ENTRY: IMMOBILISER SYSTEM (for Gasoline Model without Smart Key System): Engine does not Start but Initial Combustion Occurs; 2019 - 2020 MY RAV4 [11/2018 - 08/2020] |  
                     
                        
                           | Engine does not Start but Initial Combustion Occurs |  DESCRIPTIONIf the key ID codes of the door control transmitter assembly and transponder key ECU assembly match, the immobiliser system is unset and the engine start permission signal is sent to the ECM. When the ID codes of the transponder key ECU assembly and ECM match, the engine starts. WIRING DIAGRAM  CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
                     NOTICE: 
                        
Before replacing the transponder key ECU assembly or ECM, refer to the Registration.

Make sure that no DTCs are output. If any DTCs are output, proceed to the Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart.
After completing repairs, confirm that the problem does not recur.
After repair, confirm that no DTCs are output by performing "DTC Output Confirmation Operation".
 PROCEDURE(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. (b) Turn the ignition switch to ON. (c) Turn the Techstream on. (d) Enter the following menus: Body Electrical or Powertrain / Immobiliser or Engine / Trouble Codes. (e) Check for DTCs.
