The steering lock engages when someone turns the wheel after the engine has been switched off. When the steering lock is on, you will not be able to turn the steering wheel, and the key will not turn in the ignition. You must perform both actions at the same time to magically release the steering lock, and the key will turn seamlessly in the ignition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Usually, the Toyota RAV4 ignition gets locked when you turn the tires after you switch off the vehicle. To unlock, insert the key in the ignition, push the start button, and turn the steering wheel in the same direction it locked. Jiggle the key to loosen the wheel and start the car.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another (less likely) reason that your ignition won&rsquo;t turn is that your key is warped or otherwise damaged. If your key is worn and won&rsquo;t turn once inserted into the ignition slot, try to pull it back slightly and jiggle it back and forth. The gentle movement should help you find the position where the ignition turns and the car starts. Of course, if your key is damaged, you should have it replaced as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should also check the obvious and make sure that your gear lever has not moved and is firmly in the &ldquo;Parked&rdquo; position. If it has slipped into &ldquo;Neutral,&rdquo; try to move it back to &ldquo;Park.&rdquo; The car will not start unless the gear lever is in the &ldquo;Park&rdquo; position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Toyota RAV4 Ignition Won&rsquo;t Turn<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Ignition-Problems-3.jpg\" alt=\"Car key in ignition\" class=\"wp-image-3768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Ignition-Problems-3.jpg 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Ignition-Problems-3-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Ignition-Problems-3.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Car key in ignition\" class=\"wp-image-3768 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Ignition-Problems-3.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Ignition-Problems-3-300x200.jpg.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Ignition-Problems-3.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-3\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting the engine is a power-draining event in your Toyota RAV4. Sometimes the battery does not deliver sufficient amperage to the starter motor to turn it and begin the ignition process. Make sure that your battery has sufficient charge to initiate ignition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When your battery is three years old, and you have trouble starting your car first thing in the morning, that is a sign you should get a new battery even if the voltmeter reading is still good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The starter is an electric motor linking the ignition to the engine crank. You can find it under the hood on the passenger side, next to the transmission. When you turn the key in the ignition, the starter motor spins, effectively starting the engine. The ignition won&rsquo;t turn if the starter motor is faulty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When your Toyota RAV4 ignition doesn&rsquo;t turn, it could indicate a problem with the starter. You should use a voltmeter to check if there is current in the starter wires. If there is a current, but the starter is not spinning, you need to replace your starter.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your Toyota RAV4 engine doesn&rsquo;t start after you press the &ldquo;Push start&rdquo; button or turn a key in the ignition, it may indicate a problem with your starter. It is an easy problem to diagnose. You will know that the starter is damaged when you turn the key in the ignition, and all you can hear is a &ldquo;click&rdquo; sound and then silence. Also, a voltmeter reading will indicate that there is current flowing through the wires attached to the starter, but the starter is not spinning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Toyota RAV4 Ignition Coil Problem<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Ignition-Problems-4.jpg\" alt=\"Car key in ignition\" class=\"wp-image-3769\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Ignition-Problems-4.jpg 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Ignition-Problems-4-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Ignition-Problems-4.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Car key in ignition\" class=\"wp-image-3769 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Ignition-Problems-4.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Ignition-Problems-4-300x200.jpg.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Ignition-Problems-4.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-4\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The ignition coils are there to amplify the 12V current from the battery and deliver the high voltage to the spark plugs to fire up the engine. Driving with faulty ignition coils can lead to engine damage or damage to the catalytic converter. So, if there is a problem with the Toyota RAV4 ignition coil, you should have it replaced as soon as possible to prevent further damage to your car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may suspect that your Toyota RAV4 ignition coils are the cause of your engine not starting if you have experienced the loss of power, engine misfires, and increased fuel consumption in the weeks and days leading up to the day your car does not want to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you suspect your Toyota RAV4 has a faulty ignition coil, test it with a multi-meter, and if the reading is too low, replace it. There is no other way to save this situation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A faulty ignition coil cannot be repaired. It usually needs replacing. Occasionally, the actual coil is not damaged or corroded, only caked up with gunk, like leaking engine oil, obstructing its functioning. In those rare cases, it is possible to have the coil cleaned, and it does not need to be replaced. However, if there is any rust or other wear on the coil, you will need to replace it.<\/p><p><i>Copyright protected article by Know My Auto and was first published on Nov 28, 2022. .<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Toyota RAV4 Ignition Switch Problems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Ignition-Problems-5.jpg\" alt=\"Car key in ignition\" class=\"wp-image-3770\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Ignition-Problems-5.jpg 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Ignition-Problems-5-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Ignition-Problems-5.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Car key in ignition\" class=\"wp-image-3770 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Ignition-Problems-5.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Ignition-Problems-5-300x200.jpg.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Ignition-Problems-5.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-5\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Diagnosing Toyota RAV4 ignition switch problems is probably the easiest because the ignition switch is connected to and activates the main electrical systems in your car. So, when it gives out, more electrical features will not work besides the car not starting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may find that the radio, wipers, and turn signals suddenly do not work. You may feel the panic rising, thinking that there is a lot more wrong with your car, but having those other electrical parts also fail is an indication that your car won&rsquo;t start because of a faulty ignition switch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You will be able to identify the Toyota RAV4 ignition switch needs replacing when you cannot start your car. Your other electrical systems like the radio, trip computer, wipers, fuel pump, and turn signals also won&rsquo;t work.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make certain that it is the ignition switch that is giving problems, you can test your ignition switch with a circuit tester or a voltmeter. To do that, turn the ignition to the ACC or RUN position, and check if there is current at the fuse numbers 5, 8, 10, and 14. If the fuses are good, check the power flow to pins 1, 7, 3, 8,9, and 10. If you find any of those dead, your ignition switch will need to be replaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be tricky to diagnose problems with ignition correctly. Hopefully, this guide has helped you figure out what is the most probable cause of the ignition problems you are experiencing. Once you know what is wrong, you can replace the parts yourself, or if you are like me and would prefer professional help when it comes to fixing a car, you will be better prepared to explain the problem to a qualified service technician.<\/p><p><i>The copyright owner of this article is Knowmyauto.com and was first published on Nov 28, 2022..<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Articles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/toyota-rav4-fuel-gas-door-gauge-pump-problems-0051\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Toyota RAV4 Fuel (Door\/Gauge\/Pump) Problems<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/toyota-rav4-hood-problems-what-to-do-0051\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Toyota RAV4 Hood Problems &ndash; What To Do?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/toyota-rav4-gear-shift-problems-how-to-fix-0051\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Toyota RAV4 Gear\/Shift Problems (How To Fix)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/troubleshooting-toyota-rav4-battery-issues-0052\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Troubleshooting Toyota RAV4 Battery Issues<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/toyota-rav4-wiper-problems-0051\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Toyota RAV4 Wiper Problems<\/a><\/p><p><i>KnowMyAuto is the sole owner of this article was published on Nov 28, 2022 and last updated on <time itemprop=\"dateModified\" datetime=\"2023-09-12\">Sep 12, 2023<\/time> .<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/toyota-rav4-awd-problems-how-to-fix-reset-0051\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Toyota RAV4 AWD Problems (How to Fix\/Reset)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When your Toyota RAV4 ignition doesn\u2019t turn, it could indicate a problem with the starter.
