Previous owners did not take good care of minivan and may have lost the remote if so equipped. I'm just wanting to find out how you would know if the vehicle is equipped with a remote locking system as my other cars are. It would be nice to have to use instead of always using the key.

It is not that hard to fix. Actuater is sold as part of the assembly. You can't just replace it by itself. Order the part online for a lot less than dealer. I learned that when the passenger side did the same thing a couple months later and I saved $150 on line. Remove the inside door panel. Remove lock assembly from door. Remove door handle.

If your car has an alarm with a separate remote, it is a separate system and it is probably self-arming. When you lock the doors with the key central lock, the alarm gets armed by the RAV4 being OFF and the door locking action. When you unlock the doors with the key, the alarm is still armed because the key is not comunicating with the alarm just the cars factory keyless system.

I can buy new replacement remotes for $16 each. I would rather spend $32 for two remotes if I have the system already in my vehicle. I'm just wanting to know how I can tell if there is a system already installed in it or not.
