Some Toyota RAV4 owners report experiencing issues with the motor fan and brake lights remaining on after shutdown, which may indicate problems with the cooling fan or brake light system. In certain cases, owners have noted that the cooling fan activates simultaneously with the brake lights, leading to suggestions from dealerships to replace the Coolant Fan ECU as a potential fix. Additionally, some owners have found that removing the ABS fuses can temporarily resolve the issue by resetting the systems, though this may not address the underlying cause. It is crucial for owners to have their vehicles inspected by a trained mechanic to ensure proper diagnosis and resolution of these concerns, as regular maintenance and prompt attention can help prevent further complications.
