Hi Everyone,
My 2013 Rav4 2.2L D4D has been displaying the 'check AWD system' error code (see attached pic) since I bought it 2nd hand over 8 months ago. It has an extended warranty (over 2 years and >120000kms remaining) however it's been into two different Toyota workshops a total of 4 times to be checked and (yet to be) fixed. When the code comes up the engine will shudder and gear changes won't be smooth - apparently it is a 'safety' mode. It was also blowing smoke when accelerating up hills, or hard acceleration off the line.
It first happened during the week when I first bought they said it was some air in the fuel lines - the code went away for a month or so then they said it was the 2nd injector. They replaced the 2nd injector as apparently that was the cause. It seemed to fix it however the error code has come back on a few times since.
I'm getting a bit fed up, it's a pain taking it in there all the time and I'm thinking the options are either 1) they don't know what's wrong or 2) they do know what's wrong and don't want to fix it... Either way not great!
?Unrelated my average fuel consumption is 8.2L/100km mostly modest urban driving, mid to high 7's if combined with a few hundred kms of country driving.
Any ideas what it could be?
Thanks for your help,
Dave
