| I brought my 2007 RAV4 in for routine maintenance (oil change, tires rotated etc) and since have had this same problem. The engine check light, 4WD light and the VSC light stay on constantly. My dealer and service person both say it is the gas cap. The vehicle has less than 24,000 miles on it. So what gives? | |

Due to emissions regulations your fuel system is kept under a slight positive pressure to detect if there is any leakage. If you inadvertently leave the gas cap slightly loose, or remove the gas cap without fueling the car, a CEL will result. These normally clear within a few drive cycles provided the problem is resolved, seat the gas cap. Did you by chance buy a locking gas cap that doesn't meet the EPA requirments..??

I have an 07 Rav4 LTD V6 with 17,000 miles (I live in Ottawa Canada but this is an American car). Last Friday All three of those lights came on. This happened just after I had filled up with gas and the went through a touchless carwash. I phone the dealer and they told me that it often happens when you go through the carwash on cold temps. The temp in Ottawa was - 12 Fahrenheit. They said to drop in and they would turn off the Christmas lights. I stopped by the next day and they reset the lights but they cam back on after a couple of hours of driving. I made sure that the gas cap is on properly. I have read in another post that it could fuel related so I will also use some gas line antifreeze. How do you reset those lights? Do I need a ODBC code reader and where is the plug in located? Seems to be a fairly common problem has anyone resolved this without having to replace parts? Thanks Ghis (still freezing in Ottawa)

I notice that my 2007 RAV has the rattling wind noise on the drive side just beside my left ear if the wind is a bit strong and when I am driving at about 60km per hour. If the wind is not strong, i won't hear the noise. I have taken to car to the dealer several times. Every time when I was test driving with the mechanic, there was no wind. So the mechanic could not figure out the problem. Does anybody know te problem and how to fix it?
