HINT:

  • After repair has been completed, clear the DTC and then check that the vehicle has returned to normal by performing the following All Readiness check procedure.

    Click here 2021 - 2024 MY RAV4 RAV4 HV [08/2020 -        ]; A25A-FKS (ENGINE CONTROL): SFI SYSTEM: DTC CHECK / CLEAR

  • When clearing the permanent DTCs, refer to the "CLEAR PERMANENT DTC" procedure.

    Click here 2021 - 2024 MY RAV4 RAV4 HV [08/2020 -        ]; A25A-FKS (ENGINE CONTROL): SFI SYSTEM: DTC CHECK / CLEAR

  1. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
  2. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
  3. Start the engine and warm it up [A].
  4. Drive the vehicle at 7 km/h (4.3 mph) or more.

    CAUTION:

    When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.

  5. Depress the brake pedal and stop the vehicle.
  6. Keep the engine stopped by stop and start control for 1 second or more. (Keep the shift lever in D.)
  7. Release the brake pedal with the shift lever in D to start the engine [B].
  8. Repeat steps [A] through [B] above at least 2 times in one driving cycle.
  9. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [C].
  10. Read the pending DTCs.

    HINT:

    • If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
    • If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
  11. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
  12. Input the DTC: P154200.
  13. Check the DTC judgment result.

    HINT:

    • If the judgment result is NORMAL, the system is normal.
    • If the judgment result is ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
    • If the judgment result is INCOMPLETE, perform steps [A] through [C].
    • [A] to [C]: Normal judgment procedure.

      The normal judgment procedure is used to complete DTC judgment and also used when clearing permanent DTCs.

    • When clearing the permanent DTCs, do not disconnect the cable from the battery terminal or attempt to clear the DTCs during this procedure, as doing so will clear the universal trip and normal judgment histories.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

HINT:

As a DTC may be stored if engine startability is poor due to insufficient fuel, it is necessary to check that the vehicle has sufficient fuel before performing this procedure.

HINT:

  • It is also possible to display vehicle control history during the Health Check, if "Store All Data" is selected.
  • The vehicle condition when the problem symptoms occurred can be determined by confirming the Vehicle Control History Freeze Frame Data.
  • As the Vehicle Control History data may be overwritten whenever the trigger conditions are met, make sure to save the Vehicle Control History data before performing any inspections.
  • Using information from the customer about when the problem symptom occurred, find the Freeze Frame Data with the appropriate Key Cycle, Total Distance Traveled, etc., to find vehicle history that may be related to the problem symptoms.

(b) Check if the problem symptoms stated by the customer are currently occurring.

HINT:

  • By using snapshot to store the Data List, the Data List items can be compared to the Vehicle Control History.
  • If the problem symptoms cannot be reproduced, refer to Check for Intermittent Problems, and try to reproduce the conditions when the problem symptoms occurred as stated by the customer. If the problem symptoms still cannot be reproduced, perform the following procedure.

-20% or higher, or less than 20%

A

Other than above

B

HINT:

  • "Total FT Bank 1" is used to detect an abnormal air fuel ratio. As the value of "Total FT Bank 1" is corrected by the ECM before it is displayed in the Data List, the displayed value may not be equal to the sum of the measured "Short FT B1S1" and "Long FT B1S1".
  • An abnormally lean or rich tendency can be checked by reading the following Data List items: A/F Learn Value Idle Bank 1, A/F Learn Value Low Bank 1, A/F Learn Value Mid No.1 Bank 1, A/F Learn Value Mid No.2 Bank 1, A/F Learn Value High Bank 1, A/F Learn Value Idle (Port) Bank 1, A/F Learn Value Low (Port) Bank 1, A/F Learn Value Mid No.1 (Port) Bank 1, A/F Learn Value Mid No.2 (Port) Bank 1 and A/F Learn Value High (Port) Bank 1.
  • The following may cause a lean air fuel ratio (an operating range in which the air fuel ratio learned value correction is +20% or more):
    1. Decrease in fuel injector assembly injection volume
    2. Decrease in mass air flow meter sub-assembly output (due to existence of foreign matter)
    3. Air leaks in intake system after mass air flow meter sub-assembly
    4. Decrease in fuel pressure (at fuel filter, fuel pump, fuel main valve assembly or fuel suction plate sub-assembly)
  • On vehicles which the learning value for each operating range can be checked, if the value of "A/F Learn Value High (Port) Bank 1" or "A/F Learn Value High Bank 1" only is corrected to the positive side, a malfunction in the fuel system (clogging of the fuel pump or fuel filter) is suspected.
  • On vehicles which the learning value for each operating range can be checked, if the value of "A/F Learn Value Idle (Port) Bank 1", "A/F Learn Value Low (Port) Bank 1", "A/F Learn Value Idle Bank 1" or "A/F Learn Value Low Bank 1" only is corrected to the positive side, an air leak after the mass air flow meter sub-assembly is suspected.
  • The following may cause a rich air fuel ratio (an operating range in which the air fuel ratio learned value correction is -20% or less):
    1. Increase in the fuel injector assembly injection volume
    2. Purge VSV system

HINT:

  • To display the entire Data List, press the pull down menu button next to Primary. Then select Compression.
  • Using the snapshot function, data can be recorded during the Active Test.

(d) While the engine is not running, press the Active button to change Check the Cylinder Compression to "Start".

HINT:

After performing the above procedure, Check the Cylinder Compression will start. Fuel injection for all cylinders is prohibited and each cylinder engine speed measurement enters standby mode.

(e) Crank the engine for about 10 seconds.

(f) Monitor the engine speed (Engine Speed Cylinder #1 to #4 and Average Engine Speed of All Cylinder) displayed on the GTS.

NOTICE:

  • Do not crank the engine continuously for 20 seconds or more.
  • If it is necessary to crank the engine again after Check the Cylinder Compression has been changed to "Start" and the engine has been cranked once, press Exit to return to the Active Test menu screen. Then change Check the Cylinder Compression to "Start" and crank the engine.
  • Make sure the battery is fully charged before performing this Active Test.

HINT:

  • At first, the GTS will display extremely high cylinder engine speed values. After approximately 10 seconds of engine cranking, the engine speed measurement of each cylinder will change to the actual engine speed.
  • If the cylinder engine speed values (Engine Speed Cylinder #1 to #4) displayed in the Data List do not change from an extremely high value, return to the Active Test menu screen, change "Check the Cylinder Compression" to "Start" and crank the engine again within 1 second.

(g) Stop cranking the engine, and then change "Check the Cylinder Compression" to "Stop" after the engine stops.

NOTICE:

  • If the Active Test is changed to "Stop" while the engine is being cranked, the engine will start.
  • When performing the Active Test, Vehicle Control History code X0810 (Engine Difficult to Start (Engine Starting Time Long)) may be stored.
  • After performing the Active Test, make sure to check and clear DTCs.

(h) Push the snapshot button to turn the snapshot function off.

(i) Select "Stored Data" on the GTS screen, select the recorded data and display the data as a graph.

HINT:

If the data is not displayed as a graph, the change of the values cannot be observed.

(j) Read the value.

HINT:

  • If the value of Data List item "Engine Speed Cylinder" of a cylinder is higher than other cylinders, the cylinder may be malfunctioning.
  • If the value of Data List item "Engine Speed Cylinder" is high for only one cylinder, compression loss is suspected.

Result

Proceed to

NOTICE:

  • Make sure that the cloth or your fingers do not get caught in the valve.
  • Make sure that foreign matter does not enter the throttle valve.
  • Do not directly apply non-residue solvent to the throttle body with motor assembly or wash the throttle body with motor assembly. Cleaning solvent may leak into the motor from the shaft and cause problems such as rust or valve movement problems.
  • If there is coating material on the edge of the valve, be careful not to remove it.
