1) While the ECM operates the vacuum pump, the purge VSV and vent valve turn off and a repeat 0.02
in. leak pressure measurement is performed.
2) The ECM compares the measured pressure with the pressure during EVAP leak check.
3) If the pressure during the EVAP leak check is below the measured value, the ECM determines that
there is no leakage.
4) If the pressure during the EVAP leak check is above the measured value, the ECM determines that
there is a small leakage and stores DTC P0456 in its memory.

11. Charging Control
General
This system lowers the generated voltage when the vehicle is idling or is being driven at a constant speed,
and raises the generated voltage when the vehicle is decelerating. This reduces the load on the engine as
a result of the electric generation of the generator, thus contributing to the fuel economy of the engine.
During acceleration, this system regulates the generated voltage in order to place the amperage estimation
value close to the target value.
This control consists of the ECM, battery current sensor with a built-in battery temperature sensor,
generator, and various sensors and switches.
The ECM detects driving condition based on signals from various sensors and switches, and detects
charging condition based on signals from the generator, battery current sensor and battery temperature
sensor. Then the ECM outputs signals to the IC regulator to control the genetated voltage of the generator.
The ECM stops the charging control and the generator switches to normal power generation mode under
the following conditions:
Low battery capacity
Low or high battery temparature
Wipers operating or blower motor operating with tail lamp relay ON

Battery Current Sensor
Installed on the negative terminal of the battery, this sensor detects the amount of charging and discharging
amperage of the battery and sends signal to the ECM. Based on this signal, the ECM calculates the battery
capacity. A Hall IC is used for detecting the amount of charging and discharging amperage. The changes
that occur in the magnetic flux density in the core as a result of the charging and amperage of the battery
are converted and output as voltage.
Batter Temperature Sensor
The battery temperature sensor is built into the battery current sensor.
The battery characteristic (battery internal resistance) of taking in current for charging varies according
to battery electrolyte temperature. If the electrolyte temperature is too low or too high, the battery internal
resistance will increase, resulting in early deterioration. To prevent this, the battery temperature sensor
changes its resistance as shown below to detect the temperature.

Service Tip
To clear the DTC that is stored in the ECM, use a hand-held tester or disconnect the battery terminal
or remove the EFI fuse for 1 minute or longer.
EG-67
Fail-safe
Due to a failure in the battery current sensor or battery temperature sensor, the ECM may determine the
necessity of performing a fail-safe operation. Then, the ECM stops the charging control and the generator
switches to the normal power generation mode.
When the ECM detects a malfunction in a sensor, the ECM memorizes the DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code).
The MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) does not illuminate.

12. Diagnosis
When the ECM detects a malfunction, the ECM makes a diagnosis and memorizes the failed section.
Furthermore, the MIL in the combination meter illuminates or blinks to inform the driver.
The ECM will also store the DTCs of the malfunctions. The DTCs can be accessed by the use of the
hand-held tester.
For details, refer to the 2006 RAV4 Repair Manual (Pub. No. RM01M1U).
13. Fail-safe
When a malfunction is detected at any of the sensors, there is a possibility of an engine or other malfunction
occurring if the ECM were to continue to control the engine control system in the normal way. To prevent
such a problem, the fail-safe function of the ECM either relies on the data stored in memory to allow the
engine control system to continue operating, or stops the engine if a hazard is anticipated. For details, refer
to the 2006 RAV4 Repair Manual (Pub. No. RM01M1U).

3. Cylinder Head
The cylinder head structure has been simplified by separating the cam journal portion (camshaft housing)
from the cylinder head.
The cylinder head, which is made of aluminum, contains a pentroof-type combustion chamber. The spark
plug is located in the center of the combustion chamber in order to improve the engine’s anti-knocking
performance.
The intake ports are on the inside and the exhaust ports are on the outside of the left and right banks
respectively.
Upright intake ports are used to improve the intake efficiency.
A taper squish combustion chamber is used to improve anti-knocking performance and intake efficiency.
In addition, engine performance and fuel economy have been improved.
The siamese type intake port is used to reduce the overall surface area of the intake port walls. This
prevents the fuel from adhering onto the intake port walls, thus reducing HC exhaust emissions.
