roof TOYOTA RAV4 1996 Service Repair Manual

DTC Detecting Condition
Detection of the following condition may set DTC 41:
At vehicle speed of about 2 MPH or more, if voltage at ABS ECU terminal IG1 is less than 9.5 volts for
10 seconds or more, DTC 41 may set.
Diagnostic Procedure
1. Check charging system voltage. If voltage is 10-14 volts, system is okay. Go to next step. If voltage is not
10-14 volts, repair charging system. Ensure system fuses are okay.
2. Turn ignition off. Remove ABS ECU. Do not disconnect electrical connectors. Turn ignition switch to
ON position. Measure voltage between terminals IG1 and GND at ABS ECU harness connector. See Fig.
3 . If voltage is 10-14 volts, turn ignition off. Condition may be intermittent. Check ABS ECU connectors
for poor connection or damage. Repair as necessary. If connectors are okay, replace ABS ECU. If voltage
is not as specified, go to next step.
3. Measure resistance between ground and GND terminals at ABS ECU harness connector. See Fig. 3
. If
resistance is one ohm or less, go to next step. If resistance is more than one ohm, repair ground circuit
wiring. See WIRING DIAGRAMS
.
4. Remove ECU-IG fuse from instrument panel junction block. If fuse is blown, check for short circuit in all
wiring harnesses and components connected to ECU-IG fuse (ECM, A/C, cruise control, deceleration
sensor, combination meter, sun roof, shift lock, transmission pattern select switch). See WIRING
DIAGRAMS . Repair as necessary. If fuse is not blown, check for open circuit in wiring harness between
battery and ABS ECU. Repair as necessary.
DTC 43 & DTC 45: DECELERATION SENSOR MALFUNCTION (4WD MODELS ONLY)
DTC Detecting Conditions
Detection of the following conditions may set DTCs 43 or 45:
On 2-door models, if output voltage from deceleration sensor does not change for 16 consecutive times or
more when vehicle speed is decreased from 19 MPH to zero MPH, DTC 43 will set.
On 4-door models, after battery cables are connected, if input from deceleration sensor does not change at
one cycle (zero MPH to 19 MPH or more, then back to zero) for 16 consecutive times, DTC 43 will set.
When brake pedal is not depressed at vehicle speed of 3 MPH or more, and forward and backward force
(force of more than 0.4 "G") is detected for 30 seconds or more, DTC 43 will set.
On 2-door models, at vehicle speed of 19 MPH or more, if deceleration sensor output and vehicle
acceleration from wheel speed remains abnormally different for one minute or more, DTC 45 will set.
Diagnostic Procedure
1. Check deceleration sensor. See DECELERATION SENSOR CHECK under COMPONENT TESTS.
Replace sensor as necessary. If sensor is okay, go to next step.
2. Check for open or short circuit in wiring harness between deceleration sensor and ABS ECU. See
WIRING DIAGRAMS
. Repair as necessary. If wiring harness is okay, replace ABS ECU.

1999-2000 ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT
Power Sun Roofs
DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
AVALON (1999) & CELICA (1999)
The power sun roof system has a tilt and sliding mode. Ignition switch must be in ON position for sun roof to
operate. If all doors are closed, sun roof will operate for an additional 60 seconds after ignition is turned off.
Power sun roof is opened and closed by pressing and holding the open or close button. As a safety precaution
feature, when sliding sun roof closed, sun roof will stop part way until sun roof switch is released and pressed a
second time. Sun shade will either open with sun roof operation or when manually operated.
AVALON (2000) & LAND CRUISER (2000)
The power sun roof system has a tilt and sliding mode. Ignition switch must be in ON position for sun roof to
operate. If all doors are closed, sun roof will operate for an additional 43-45 seconds after ignition is turned off.
Power sun roof slide operation is equipped with an one-touch open and close feature. Press either button to stop
sun roof operation. The tilt operation is not equipped with the one-touch feature. To reduce wind throbs while
driving, power sun roof will stop 0.4" (10 mm) on Avalon and 1.4" (35 mm) on Land Cruiser from its fully
opened position. To completely open sun roof, press sun roof switch a second time.
As a safety precaution feature, the power sun roof system is equipped with a jam protection function. During
closing operation, the sun roof will stop and open half way if something is caught between sun roof and frame.
If sun roof is damaged, received a strong enough impact or sat upon, the jam protection function may work even
when nothing is caught between the sun roof and the frame. Sun shade will either open with sun roof operation
or when manually operated.
CAMRY
The power sun roof system has a tilt mode and a sliding mode. Ignition switch must be in ON position for sun
roof to operate. If all doors are closed, sun roof will operate for an additional 45 seconds after ignition is turned
off. Power sun roof is equipped with a one-touch open and close feature. Press either button to stop sun roof
operation. The tilt operation is not equipped with the one-touch feature. As a safety precaution feature, when
sliding sun roof closed, sun roof will stop part way until sun roof switch is released and pressed a second time.
