DTC P15AD-87: Active Grille Air Shutter "A" Missing Message [12/2021 - ]: Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2025 Toyota RAV4, 2024 Toyota RAV4, 2023 Toyota RAV4, 2022 Toyota RAV4, and 2021 Toyota RAV4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. PERFORM UTILITY USING TECHSTREAM (SWITCH GRILLE SHUTTER CONTROL MODE) 
    1. According to the display on the Techstream, change the grille shutter control mode from normal mode to maintenance mode.

      Powertrain > Engine > Utility 

      Tester Display
      Switch Grille Shutter Control Mode

      Result

      Proceed to
      NEXT

    Result: 

    NEXT 

    See step  2

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SWING GRILLE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY - ECM) 
    1. Disconnect the swing grille actuator assembly connector.
    2. Disconnect the ECM connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A108-2 (LIN) - C40-62 (LIN) Always Below 1 Ω
      A108-2 (LIN) or C40-62 (LIN) - Body ground and other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  3

  3. CHECK TERMINAL VOLTAGE (POWER SOURCE OF SWING GRILLE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY)

    *a Front view of wire harness connector
    (to Swing Grille Actuator Assembly)
    1. Disconnect the swing grille actuator assembly connector.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    3. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A108-1 (+B) - A108-3 (GND) Ignition switch ON 11 to 14 V

      HINT: 

      Perform "Switch Grille Shutter Control Mode and Grille Shutter Initialization" after replacing the radiator shutter assembly.

      Refer to INITIALIZATION [12/2021 - ]

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    OK 

    REPLACE RADIATOR SHUTTER ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL [12/2021 - ] 

    Result: 

    NG 

    See step  4

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SWING GRILLE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY - BODY GROUND) 
    1. Disconnect the swing grille actuator assembly connector.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A108-3 (GND) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  5

  5. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SWING GRILLE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY - EFI-MAIN NO. 1 RELAY) 
    1. Disconnect the swing grille actuator assembly connector.
    2. Remove the EFI-MAIN NO. 1, VVT, EFI-MAIN NO. 2 and EFI-MAIN NO. 3 relays from the No. 1 engine room relay block and junction block assembly.

      HINT: 

      Remove the VVT, EFI-MAIN NO. 2 and EFI-MAIN NO. 3 relays connected between the checked terminals as the coil inside the relay influences the measurement value.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A108-1 (+B) - 5 (EFI-MAIN NO. 1 Relay) Always Below 1 Ω
      A108-1 (+B) or 5 (EFI-MAIN NO. 1 Relay) - Body ground and other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  6

  6. CHECK ECM POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT 
    1. Check the ECM power source circuit.

      Refer to ECM Power Source Circuit [08/2020 - ]

      Result

      Proceed to
      NEXT

    Result: 

    NEXT 

    See step  7

  7. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (GRILLE SHUTTER CONTROL MODE) 
    1. According to the display on the Techstream, change the grille shutter control mode from maintenance mode to normal mode.

      Powertrain > Engine > Utility 

      Tester Display
      Switch Grille Shutter Control Mode
    2. Read the value displayed on the Techstream.

      Powertrain > Engine > Data List 

      Tester Display
      Grille Shutter Control Mode

      Standard

      Techstream Display Specified Condition
      Grille Shutter Control Mode Normal

      Result

      Proceed to
