Description

When the ignition switch is turned on, the battery voltage is applied to the igsw of the ecm. The output signal from the mrel terminal of the ecm causes a current to flow to the coil, closing the contacts of the integration relay (efi main relay) and supplying power to either terminal +b or +b2 of the ecm.

Inspection procedure
  1. Inspect fuses (p/i, am2, ig2, efi main, ign)
Toyota RAV4. Inspect fuses (p/i, am2, ig2, efi main, ign)

  1. Remove the p/i fuse, am2 fuse, ig2 fuse and efi main fuse from the engine room no. 1 Relay block.
  2. Remove the ign fuse from the instrument panel junction block.
  3. Measure the resistance of the fuses.
Standard resistance: below 1

  1. Reinstall the fuses.


  1. Inspect relay (ig2, efi main)
  2. Remove the integration relay and ig2 relay from the engine room no. 1 Relay block.
  3. Measure the resistance between the terminal of the integration relay.
