Are Toyota RAV4 electric vehicle systems more expensive to repair?

The truth is, it depends. Some high voltage components only come within a larger unit. Keep in mind that promotional financing is available through the Firestone credit card.* (*Subject to credit approval.)

How do I know when to get new brakes on my Toyota RAV4?

A brake check is one of the best ways to know for sure. Staying on top of your OEM maintenance intervals for RAV4 brakes helps, too. In general, however, front brake pad wear is less in electric vehicles thanks to regenerative braking.

What do I do if my Toyota RAV4 dashboard warning light is on?

Your Toyota RAV4 dashboard warning light might be on due to a number or reasons. You may also have a warning light on the dash regarding your high voltage system. Stop by Firestone Complete Auto Care for an electric vehicle diagnostic to learn more.

What can cause my RAV4 to leak water?

Electric cars use a receiver dryer assembly to help keep the A/C refrigerant free of contaminants, and this process can produce some condensation. When it’s warm outside, this condensation may drain under the vehicle. If you’ve been running the air conditioner in your RAV4 for some time, don’t be too concerned to find a bit of water under it. However, if you discover large amounts of water or any coolant leaking under your vehicle, you may have a problem with the cooling system or another component.

Local EV Service for 1999 Toyota RAV4

Does your Toyota RAV4 run differently than it used to? Maybe you've felt less "pep" in its acceleration, or it feels like it is taking forever to go from 0 to 60MPH. If so, Firestone technicians can conduct a free* electric/hybrid vehicle check to get a deeper understanding. There could be an issue with the high voltage cooling system in your RAV4 -- if the high voltage battery is running hot, it will limit the battery’s performance. Or, maybe your RAV4 has Diagnostic Trouble Codes stored in one of its electric modules? Firestone Complete Auto technicians are trained to provide low voltage and conventional services for all electric cars, including your 1999 Toyota RAV4.

Some Firestone Complete Auto Care locations also offer high voltage/advanced services for electric cars like Toyota RAV4s. High voltage services are any that include removing the RAV4's high voltage, safety/service disconnect switch/plug, servicing any high voltage cables, the power inverter, the high voltage electric machines/motors, the high voltage battery pack, high voltage A/C compressor, etc. Before making an appointment, call your closest location to confirm that high voltage services are offered.

Some of these high voltage electric vehicle services might include:

Electric vehicle diagnostic: After any symptoms are identified, then our team performs a diagnostic on your 1999 Toyota RAV4 to get to the root of the trouble. With that info in hand, a trained technician will further diagnose electric vehicle problems you're having and determine what tests (if any) are needed. No repair work is done until you give us the thumbs up.

High voltage battery cooling inspection: Your technician will inspect the RAV4's high voltage battery filter (if applicable) and clean the ducts of the battery. (This applies to air-cooled high voltage batteries. Liquid-cooled or refrigerant-cooled high voltage batteries are inspected differently.)

High voltage cable inspection: Your technician will visually inspect the outer cable jackets and connectors on your 1999 Toyota RAV4 and test to ensure high voltage is NOT transferring to the chassis. They'll let you know if the cable needs replacement due to wear and tear.

Isolation test: During this test, the technician will use a special tool to check for any high voltage components that are "leaking" electric energy to the chassis.

Remove and replace high voltage battery: Is the battery in your Toyota RAV4 dead? Electric vehicle batteries can sometimes fail sooner than expected in hotter climates or if you often use Level 3 fast-charging stations, since these stations may heat the battery more. Let us replace it for you.

Health check for the power electronic systems: We'll check the electric drive machine(s)/motor(s), power inverter, and/or regenerative braking in your 1999 Toyota RAV4.

These are only a few of the special electric car services that could be available at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care. Call and ask!
