Online Forum for the 2012 Rav4 EV

Got this error today (1 day into actually having the rav4ev).

Anyone seen this error or know about it? I assume it may fix itself after rebooting the car, but who knows.

One way to make this happen is, while in cruise, move the shifter slowly through neutral to drive, not pausing long enough for neutral to engage. Powering off clears the error.

Yup happened to me once...not since

I seen it twice already.

I think the Tesla gateway is probably the cause as well. I hate these API like setup, Toyota and Tesla Engineers having different interpretation of how certain API functions work.... causing errors when Toyota sending an unknown message to the Tesla gateway.

I can see Merc B-series wagon will have similar issues, different issues with talking to the Tesla gateway.

I'm having this exact same problem; twice in two days.

Has anyone gotten a dealer to correct this? Or do they just spout out the regular lazy "could not duplicate intermittent problem" nonsense?

I can make it happen anytime. In my case it is operator error. While cruise is engaged, move the shiftier slowly from the default position through Neutral to Drive, if it doesn't error, go slower. Don't stay in the Neutral position long enough to engage Neutral.

I tried your method and cannot make mine throw the error code.

I haven't tried it in a while, Toyota may have fixed that, non-error error.

I got this error today. I was already in drive for a minute or so, and was cruising at about 25 mph while hitting the button to turn the cruise control system on (not to set it, just to turn it on). Error cleared on a simple once off-on restart. Go figure.

Cruise control doesn't work at speeds under 35 mph nor when you're in B mode. Trying to engage it under those conditions has caused my car to give that error. For example, cruising at 45 mph and then entered a 25 mph stretch of road. Tried to use cruise control again and it wouldn't.... but I got the error message.

Try different speeds, and in and out of B mode and you may well be able to trigger the error. As soon as I went back to using it within the parameters or >35mph and not in B mode I've never had the error message again.
