| T-TT-0578-19 Rev | 2020-11-23. Service bulletin. STEERING; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY; EQUIPMENT. TT: Some customers may encounter Bluetooth® connectivity concerns such as: ?Difficulty to pair the phone. ?Intermittent Bluetooth® failure to connect to the vehicle when first turning on the vehicle. ?Various Bluetooth® Audio functions are no longer functioning with customer?s phone such as ability to change the track using the steering wheel controls. These concerns can be caused by changes made on the customer?s phone. Make sure to inquire with the customer if the connectivity concerns occurred after receiving an operating system update on their phone, or if they have restored their phone data/settings recently. |
| T-SB-0086-19 Rev | 2020-10-26. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT; EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. TSB Some 2019 ? 2020 model year RAV4 vehicles may exhibit an AWD Warning Light ON condition with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) C13F800 (4WD/AWD Rear Disconnect System Performance) present. Follow the Repair Procedure in this bulletin to address this condition. |
| T-SB-0047-19 Rev | 2020-09-14. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE; EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEM(GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM). TSB: Some 2018 ? 2020 model year Toyota vehicles equipped with a Premium Audio with Dynamic Navigation System require a Special Service Tool (SST) USB flash drive to update the map, points of interest, and system software. The SST is used with applicable vehicles to deliver the update; however, the process for generating license keys differs from previous generations. Before attempting to perform a map update, the head unit?s expiration date must be checked. If the expiration date is still valid, a license key may be generated without the use of an activation card number. Updating the maps without the use of an activation card number is considered an Embedded Navigation Update (refer to pg. 10) and performing this process does not extend the duration of telematic map services. If the head unit?s expiration date is expired, or is expiring within the next 90 days, it should be recommended to the customer to purchase an activation number. Utilizing an activation number will initiate a Dynamic Navigation Update (refer to pg. 4). This Dynamic Navigation Update will perform the Embedded Navigation Update and provide telematic map services for a period of two years from the day that the Dynamic Navigation Update is performed. Activation card numbers are provided in an activation card number pamphlet available through the normal parts ordering system. |
| T-TT-0616-20 Rev | 2020-09-14. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT; STEERING; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. TT: Some customers may experience an abnormal steering sensation (?pulling?, ?drifting?). Condition may be more pronounced after a cold soak. Steering Angle value displayed in Techstream may be greater than +3° off when the steering wheel is held straight. Every time the vehicle?s battery is disconnected or discharged, the Steering Angle Neutral Point memorization and the Steering Sensor Zero Point Calibration must be performed. These steps are consistent with Step 3 and 4 of the ?BEFORE INSPECTION? section of the Pre- Delivery Service Check Sheet |

Other reasons the GFCI breaker may trip ?Circuit demand is too high for GFCI rating ?Worn out GFCI internal contacts ?Improper installation or wiring of GFCI breaker |
| 20TE04 - RAV4 HV | 2020-08-24. Service bulletin. FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:INSTRUMENT PANEL:FUEL GAUGE:FUEL LEVEL FLOAT/SENSOR/SENDING UNIT. DL: Toyota has received customer reports of certain 2019-2020 model year RAV4 HV vehicle fuel gauges displaying less than full and/or total fuel dispensed is less than expected, when the fuel nozzle automatically clicks off. Some customer reports have also noted the ?Distance to Empty? shown on the multi-information display is less than expected. Based on our investigation, Toyota believes these conditions to be primarily related to a variation of fuel tank shape and the potential for the fuel sender gauge to become inclined. These conditions can cause the fuel level to be read incorrectly and may cause the low fuel light to illuminate with more fuel in the tank than usual. Although the fuel tank and fuel sender gauge unit are covered by Toyota?s New Vehicle Limited Warranty for normal Basic Warranty coverage period, 3 years or 36,000 miles (whichever comes first), we at Toyota care about the customers? ownership experience. Toyota is providing coverage for repairs related to refueling performance concerns. |
