Installing a car alarm on a Toyota Rav 4 – Connection points, location and colors of wires

Special offer for Toyota RAV 4

Especially for Toyota Rav 4 owners, our specialists have prepared solutions that will protect against theft and damage. The complexes include alarms and parking sensors from renowned manufacturers, which have long established themselves in the market and are ideally suited for installation on this car model. In case of purchasing one of the options located below in the table, the client is provided with a discount on devices and work on their installation.

Each of the proposed security systems uses an interactive data encoding method in its work, which cannot be succumbed to any code grabber. During their operation, system components will repeatedly exchange keys of 128 bits in length. The use of alarms will be convenient by notifying the owner about alarming events. Auto start, in the case of a complex that supports this function, will help warm up the interior in winter and cool it down in summer before a trip. Installing an immobilizer, even in cars that have a standard one, makes sense, because car thieves can easily deal with devices installed from the factory, while ours have interactive authorization of the owner and do not have wired connections.

Installing parking sensors helps reduce the risk of damaging your car. Small and large objects often end up in blind spots, and in the city you have to park in cramped conditions. The parking system will notify you of obstacles and help avoid unwanted contacts.

Electrical wiring of Toyota Rav 4 1999

Car alarm connection points for Toyota RAV4 2012, Left-hand drive, automatic transmission

Ignition switch: + 12V – blue ACC – red thin IGN_1 – white IGN_2 – pink thin Starter_1 – yellow Starter_2 – white thin (you can feed Starter_1 through the 1N4007 diode)

Harness to the upper left connector of the fuse box: Fuel pump - yellow (thick) Trunk - light green thin Left front door end - white thin

Thick harness above the glove compartment: The right front door end is thin brown. The right rear door end is thin light green.

Left rear door limit switch - blue thin on the upper left connector behind the cheek near the driver's left foot Central locking - black (open) and pink (close) in the lower connector harness from the driver's door Tachometer - gray in the harness to the diagnostic connector

Harness to the large connector on the fuse block, connector on the left, top, second: Turns - blue and yellow Brake pedal - blue thin

The RAV-4 is very similar in wiring to the Corolla. The interior is also easy to disassemble.

Remove the entire top cover of the torpedo. Everything is held there by clips, two screws and two 10mm bolts. You also need to remove the radio. And unscrew the airbag, this is done by removing the glove compartment. We look at the top above the glove compartment for two 12mm bolts and unscrew them with the head through the extension. Disconnect the pillow - yellow connector. You also need to remove the left and right pillar trims.

When starting up, the system will complain about a malfunction of the airbag, no big deal; when you connect the airbag, this error will disappear on its own.

We hide the signaling and lineman units on the left behind the wiring harnesses, above the fuse block. When assembling, make sure that the block and the lineman do not rest against the air ducts.

The lineman fits the Saturn AU-50. You can hide the entire key there, but it is better to remove only the chip from the key and hide it in the crawler. Shredded the third spare key, which does not have central locking control buttons. The outer shell is rubber and can be cut off with a knife. There is a plastic case inside and you can see the chip there; it is pulled out.

The car is simple, like all Toyotas.

Do we take out the battery so that the doors do not open when the key is in the car? Does the immo still read the key without a battery? Only at a short distance or something? How to press the button at start? Disassemble the button? Should I tear the battery power to turn on the key fob before starting? but then it seems like you can open the doors from the outside?

Toyota Rav-4: weak points. Maintenance and repair

Taking the best from a powerful SUV and an economical passenger car, the Toyota Rav-4 cannot but please its owners.

This SUV is famous for its rich equipment and reliability, efficiency and modern technologies, but, like any other car, it needs high-quality technical maintenance, and over time, repairs.

The Rav-4 is primarily intended for city driving, and it shows its true character both in winter and during trips into nature. Don’t forget that even though the car is a crossover, it is not suitable for regular off-road “testing” unless you are prepared for constant breakdowns and expensive repairs.

Maintenance

Rav-4 owners are recommended to check the level of the vehicle's operating fluids (engine oil, coolant and brake fluid, etc.) every 400 km.

Before doing this, you should make sure that the machine is standing on a flat, horizontal surface, otherwise it will be impossible to obtain reliable readings. After such a run, the integrity of the tires, their pressure, and tread wear are also checked.

Every mileage exceeding 5,000 km is a signal that it’s time to change the engine oil and oil filter in your Rav-4.

Regular maintenance of your Rav-4, both weekly preventative maintenance and at a service center, should become a habit. This is a guarantee of your safety, and your Toyota will stay on the road longer.

weak spots

Toyota Rav-4 is a car with great capabilities, but it also has its weak points. The most problematic is the first generation of machines. After 100 - 150 thousand kilometers, they begin to have problems associated with oil seals, fuel tank, coolant pump, gearbox mount, etc.

Second-generation crossovers are very sensitive to consumables. If you refuel the Rav-4 with low-grade fuel, be prepared to regularly clean the injectors every 20 thousand km. After 50-60 thousand

kilometers, the oxygen sensor and ignition coil may fail. There are frequent problems in cars with automatic transmissions, the electronic components of which can fail after 150 thousand km.

At the same time, problems may appear in the clutch system.

The third generation of Rav-4 is much more reliable than its predecessors. However, replacing the front suspension bushings may become necessary after 50 thousand km, and the suspension itself will most likely have to be thoroughly repaired even before your Rav-4 reaches the 150 thousand km mark.

Rav-4 owners who carefully operate their vehicle and do not neglect maintenance should not worry that their Toyota will quickly break down. This durable machine does not give up easily, and, despite some shortcomings that are characteristic of all machines, it will serve you faithfully for many years.

Summing up

In general, these cars have proven themselves well and, with proper care, last a long time and are inexpensive. However, this is not a real jeep and off-roading is not its strong point. It also won’t show any sporting qualities on the highway or at traffic lights. This budget option is very good for everyday driving and for solving everyday problems.

Installation and connection of car alarms on Toyota RAV4 2012-2016

We will install an alarm system with auto start on a Toyota RAV4. As a standard immobilizer bypass, we use a regular transponder bypass.

We partially disassemble the interior for ease of connection and installation of the alarm system on the Toyota RAV4.

6.2. Installing an alarm on a Toyota RAV4

On the Toyota RAV4 via CAN it is possible to read the statuses of the doors, hood (if there is a hood switch), trunk, ignition, tachometer, standard security, brake pedal, handbrake and control of the central locking, hazard warning lights, raising the driver's window, unlocking the trunk.

Connect the alarm ground in any convenient place under the standard bolt or nut to the car ground.
