tires TOYOTA RAV4 1996 Service Repair Manual

1. Disconnect front speed sensor connector. Measure resistance between speed sensor connector terminals.
Resistance should be 1.4-1.8 k/ohms. Measure resistance between ground and each speed sensor
connector terminal. Resistance should be one megohm or more. If resistance is as specified, go to step 3 .
If resistance is not as specified, replace speed sensor.
2. Disconnect rear speed sensor connector. Measure resistance between speed sensor connector terminals.
Resistance should be 1.28-1.48 k/ohms. Measure resistance between ground and each speed sensor
connector terminal. Resistance should be one megohm or more. If resistance is as specified, go to next
step. If resistance is not as specified, replace speed sensor.
3. Check for open or short circuit in wiring harness between affected speed sensor and ABS ECU. See
WIRING DIAGRAMS
. Repair as necessary. If wiring harness is okay, go to next step.
4. Check speed sensor installation. Ensure mounting bolt is tightened to specification. See TORQUE
SPECIFICATIONS . Ensure zero clearance exists between sensor and front steering knuckle or rear axle
carrier. Replace speed sensor if necessary. If speed sensor installation is okay, check speed sensor signal.
See SPEED SENSOR DIAGNOSTICS
under DIAGNOSIS & TESTING. If signal is normal, go to next
step.
5. If oscilloscope is available, check speed sensor signal wave form. Remove ABS ECU. Do not disconnect
electrical connectors. Connect oscilloscope between GND terminal and terminals FR+, FL+, RR+ and
RL+ at ABS ECU connector. See Fig. 3
. Drive vehicle at 19 MPH and observe signal wave form. Signal
should be smooth and consistent without any irregular wave forms. If wave form is smooth and
consistent, replace ABS ECU. If wave form is not smooth and consistent, go to next step.
6. Check speed sensor rotor for missing teeth or damage. Check sensor tip for scratches, damage or foreign
objects. Replace components as necessary. If rotor and sensor are okay, replace ABS ECU.
DTC 37: TIRES OF DIFFERENT SIZE (2WD MODELS ONLY)
DTC Detecting Condition
Detection of the following condition may set DTC 37:
Driving vehicle at speed of more than 12 MPH for more than 20 seconds with one or 2 tires of different
sizes, 3 different times continuously will set DTC 37.
Diagnostic Procedure
Ensure vehicle tires are all the same size and correct size for vehicle. Replace tires as necessary. If tire size is
okay, replace ABS ECU.
DTC 41: LOW BATTERY VOLTAGE
Circuit Description
Circuit is power source for ABS ECU, which includes actuator. If malfunction occurs in power source circuit,
ABS ECU cuts off current to ABS control relay and prohibits ABS control. DEFINITIONS
under DIAGNOSIS & TESTING. For front speed sensor diagnosis,
start at step 1 . For rear speed sensor, start at step 2 .

1. Check charging system voltage. Ensure 10-14 volts is present. If charging system voltage is okay, go to
next step. If charging system voltage is not okay, check and repair charging system.
2. Turn ignition switch to ON position. Ensure ABS warning light comes on, then goes out after 3 seconds.
If ABS warning light does not illuminate, check fuse, bulb, and wiring harness. See ABS WARNING
LIGHT under DIAGNOSIS & TESTING. Turn ignition off.
3. Using a jumper wire, jumper terminals Ts and E
1 of DLC1. DLC1 is located in engine compartment on
left side of engine. See Fig. 2
. Ensure ABS warning light blinks 4 times per second. If ABS light does
not blink, go to ABS WARNING LIGHT
under DIAGNOSIS & TESTING. If ABS warning light
blinks, go to next step.
4. Using a floor jack, slowly jack up rear of vehicle. On vehicles with 215/70R16 tires, raise vehicle to a
height of 25.59-27.95" (650-710 mm). On vehicles with 235/60R16 tires, raise vehicle to a height of
26.38-28.74" (670-730 mm). If ABS warning light illuminates at specified height, check deceleration
sensor installation. If installation is okay, replace deceleration sensor. Lower vehicle.
5. Using a floor jack, slowly jack up front of vehicle. On vehicles with 215/70R16 tires, raise vehicle to a
height of 21.20-23.56" (550-610 mm). On vehicles with 235/60R16 tires, raise vehicle to a height of
22.44-24.80" (570-630 mm). If ABS warning light illuminates at specified height, check deceleration
sensor installation. If installation is okay, replace deceleration sensor. Lower vehicle.
6. Drive vehicle straight ahead at speed of 13 MPH or more. Lightly depress brake pedal. Ensure ABS
warning light pattern is normal (light blinks 4 times per second).
7. While driving vehicle straight ahead at speed of 13 MPH or more, moderately depress brake pedal.
Ensure ABS warning light illuminates in a solid pattern (light does not blink) while braking.
8. While driving vehicle straight ahead at speed of 13 MPH or more, firmly depress brake pedal. Ensure
ABS warning light illumination pattern changes from a solid pattern (light does not blink) to a normal
pattern (light blinks 4 times per second), then back to a solid pattern while braking.
9. If ABS warning light does not illuminate as described in steps 6 -8 , check deceleration sensor
installation. If installation is okay, replace deceleration sensor. Stop vehicle and turn ignition off. Remove
jumper wire from DLC1.

On models equipped with anti-lock brake systems, ALWAYS observe the following cautions:
DO NOT attempt to bleed hydraulic system without first referring to the appropriate ANTI-LOCK
BRAKE SYSTEM article in the BRAKES Section.
DO NOT mix tire sizes. As long as tires remain close to the original diameter, increasing the width is
acceptable. Rolling diameter must be identical for all 4 tires. Some manufacturers recommend tires of the
same brand, style and type. Failure to follow this precaution may cause inaccurate wheel speed readings.
Use ONLY recommended brake fluids. DO NOT use silicone brake fluids in an ABS-equipped vehicle.
BATTERY WARNING
REPLACING BLOWN FUSES
BRAKE PAD WEAR INDICATOR
Indicator will cause a squealing or scraping noise, warning that brake pads need replacement.
CATALYTIC CONVERTER CAUTION: The anti-lock brake system contains electronic equipment that can be
susceptible to interference caused by improperly installed or high output
radio transmitting equipment. Since this interference could cause the
possible loss of the anti-lock braking capability, such equipment should
be installed by qualified professionals.
WARNING:When battery is disconnected, vehicles equipped with computers may
lose memory data. When battery power is restored, driveability problems
may exist on some vehicles. These vehicles may require a relearn
procedure. See COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL
INFORMATION section.
CAUTION: Before replacing a blown fuse, remove ignition key, turn off all lights and
accessories to avoid damaging the electrical system. Be sure to use fuse
with the correct indicated amperage rating. The use of an incorrect
amperage rating fuse may result in a dangerous electrical system
overload.
CAUTION: Continued operation of vehicle with a severe malfunction could cause
converter to overheat, resulting in possible damage to converter and
vehicle.
CAUTION: Any modification to the exhaust system on turbo models, which reduces
exhaust backpressure, will lead to lean fuel mixtures and excessive spark
advance. This could cause serious engine damage.
