$3000 Rav4EV. My new Project

[KnewRav4]

Hello everyone, excited to be here. I recently bought this 2013 Toyota Rav4EV from a….acquaintance. He buys and sells vehicles from auctions. This vehicle in particular has a title in the name of Crown Toyota of Ontario CA. I believe it was a loaner vehicle. Anyways, this probably goes without saying, but, it has a few issues. I’ll be posting my progress in the appropriate section and asking for help when I dive in a bit deeper. First thing on my list will more than likely be acquiring a cable to retrieve codes via TPD. Cheers

Have you tried making a cable

yourself, using this connector

and a regular RJ45 patch cord?

Just placed an Amazon order. Seems pretty straight forward. If I don’t have a laptop that accepts the rj45 cable is It possible to use a usb adapter of some kind?

Absolutely yes.

For example,

Some users insert the adapter board removed from its housing into the housing of the male "OBD-II" connector and directly connect the cable to the USB port
