Repair Procedure
VERIFY VEHICLE CONDITION
1. Check for the Authorized Modifications Label affixed to the vehicle in the location shown in Figure 2. Confirm updated ECM calibration. If not the latest ECM calibration, go to step 2.
2. Connect the Diagnostic Tester to the vehicle and select CURRENT ECU CAL from the ECU REPROGRAM MAIN MENU. Determine the vehicle's current ECU calibration. (See Figure 1.)
NOTE:
If calibration ID matches "Previous Calibration ID" as shown, proceed with flash reprogramming.
If calibration ID matches "New Calibration ID" as shown, this vehicle has already been reprogrammed.
NOTE:
2001 RAV4 can contain a 2002 RAV4 ECM if ECM was previously replaced.
2001 ECM calibration file will not update a 2002 ECM in a 2001 RAV4.
ECM calibration must be updated with ECM calibration file which matches.
FLASH REPROGRAM ECM
1. Follow the procedures outlined in TSB SS002-01, ECU Flash Reprogramming Process, dated March 9, 2001.
2. Select the proper ECM calibration file for the vehicle based on the current ECU calibration ID and reprogram the ECM.
3. After flash reprogramming the ECM, enter the following information on the Authorized Modifications Label using a permanent marker.
