Solved
Best answer (according to Cynda)
Cynda from United States 8 months ago
I took the Rav to Toyota. They ran a systems check for $158.00. Later, I find out I need a new catalytic converter. The cost of it is 1,544.00... It went out early because of the wrong fuel in the unleaded tank at the gas station... Some driver put in diesel in the unleaded tank.
Teresa from United States 6 months ago
I took my car to the dealer and it cost me $4900 to finally get it running. Now the lights still are all on the dash. Had the catalytic converter changed but the lights are all still on.
Cynda from United States 6 months ago
I had to replace the O2 sensor on mine too, along with the catalytic converter. Maybe check to see if that needs to be replaced.

Corrosion at the back of the fuse box absorbed damp on very wet days caused the shorting that kept the warning lights glowing. The Rav4 fuse box is directly below the radio aerial and any water ingress there drips directly into the fuse box.

Replace the sensor with oem one, not a chinese one. If still the issue you need to replace the catalist do not use the high flow you will have issues. Before that try to put a spark plug Oil extender in front of the sensor.

Mine too says catalyst system efficiency below threshold bank 1. Can anyone help me understand the problem

I am having the same issue. My Rav is a 2009 with 58,000 miles. Tomorrow I will take it to the Toyota service department and will find out what is wrong. I will try to update on the findings.
Goose from United States 7 months ago
Start with abs wheel speed sensor. Noise “maybe” some part of suspension
Casper from United States 5 months ago
A blinking 4WD light on a 2007 Toyota RAV4 means the all-wheel-drive system has detected a fault and temporarily disabled itself. A 9-blink or continuous flashing sequence usually points to an issue with the 4WD transfer case actuator, a faulty ABS/wheel speed sensor, or a mismatched tire size.

Fron from United States 6 months ago
Engine oil pressure light should go away almost immediately after turning on the engine, if the light stays on for a min after starting the engine, you might have a bad engine oil pump. You should have this fix immediately to avoid catastrophic engine failure.
Casper from United States 5 months ago
That would indicate dangerously low oil pressure during startup.

Same issue with my 13 Rav. This car runs and idles great except for sluggish acceleration, has no codes but I have found something in my Scantool that points me in the direction to diagnose this. I graphed the vvt aim and vvt change and they are locked at 0 with no movement in all driving conditions. So now I'm wondering what would make the ECM want to disable the variable valve timing.
So yesterday I was trying to access the crankshaft position sensor from the ECM and I didn't know how to remove the plastic shell covering the wires and pins, so I tried to catch an in cylinder pressure waveform with the pressure transducer, the coil trigger, and both Cam sensors, but my pressure transducer was acting up and I couldn't get a good look at it, but I am suspecting chain stretch causing this no code issue and bad fuel economy.

درپشت قاب قربیلک فرمان و در کنار فیش نارنجی رنگ مربوط به کیسه هوا یک فیش تک وجودداره و به رنگ مشکی هست اول از اتصال صحیح و محکم بودن ان اطمینان حاصل کنید و در صورت مشکل در صدای بوق مجموعه سنسور زاویه فرمان که در زیر قزبیلک قرار دارد را به احتمال زیاد باید تعویض کنید زیرا یا کابل های ان پاره یا اسیب دیده اند زیرا دکمه های کنترلی روی فرمان و بوق و کیسه هوا همگی به سنسور زاویه فرمان اتصال دارند البته مشکل محدود به ان نمیتواند باشد اما در شروع از سالم بودن این موارد اطمینان حاصل کنید سپس سراغ موارد دیگر بروید. راه ساده تر استفاده از دستگاه دیاگ هست که بوضوح ایراد اصلی را به شما نشان میدهد

صدای جیر جیر و سفت شدن فرمان به احتمال خیلی زیاد بدلیل ازبین رفتن گریس داخل سنسور زاویه فرمان هست و مورد بعدی به احتمال زیاد پیچ مربوط به قربیلک فرمان بیش از حد سفت شده و حتما طبق استاندارد و با ترکمتر باید محکم شود

Dashboard lights come on and then hard to steer

2009 Toyota RAV4 Automatic 2 WD 104000 miles
All the lights on the dashboard come on and i lose the power steering. It still drives but very difficult to turn the wheel. I replaced the alternator and its good for about a week. I then had a dead battery had it checked and it was "bad". Replaced the battery, good for a couple of days but it would jump when i reached 20-25. Check engine light came on and had a code of P2714, it led me to replace the VSS. Was great driving it with no more jumping into gear for about a week again and then the same problem. All the lights came on and hard to steer. I am now going to check the 120A fuse to see if it needs replacing. Am i doing anything wrong? I don't know what else to do.
