Hat and safety shoes must be worn. 2 Vehicle protection Prepare a grille cover, fender cover, seat cover and floor mat before starting the operation. 3 Safety operation When working with 2 or more persons, be sure to check safety for one another. When working with the engine running, make sure to provide ventilation for exhaust fumes in the workshop. If working on high temperature, high pressure, rotating, moving, or vibrating parts, wear appropriate safety equipment and take extra care not to injure yourself or others. When jacking up the vehicle, be sure to support the specified location with a safety stand. When lifting up the vehicle, use appropriate safety equipment. 4 Preparation of tools and measuring gauge Before starting operation, prepare a tool stand, SST, gauge, oil and parts for replacement. 5 Removal and installation, disassembly and assembly operations Diagnose with a thorough understanding of proper procedures and of the reported problem. Before removing the parts, check the general condition of the assembly and for deformation and damage. When the assembly is complicated, take notes. For example, note the total number of electrical connections, bolts, or hoses removed. Add matchmarks to insure reassembly of components in the original positions. Temporarily mark hoses and their fittings if needed. Clean and wash the removed parts if necessary and assemble them after a thorough check. 6 Removed parts Place the removed parts in a separate box to avoid mixing them up with the new parts or contaminating the new parts. For non-reusable parts such as gaskets, O-rings, and self-locking nuts, replace them with new ones as instructed in this article. Retain the removed parts for customer inspection, if requested. JACKING UP AND SUPPORTING VEHICLE Care must be taken when jacking up and supporting the vehicle. Be sure to lift and support the vehicle at the proper locations. PRECOATED PARTS Precoated parts are bolts and nuts that are coated with a seal lock adhesive at the factory. If a precoated part is retightened, loosened or moved in any way, it must be recoated with the specified adhesive. When reusing a precoated part, clean off the old adhesive and dry the part with compressed air. Then apply new seal lock adhesive appropriate to that part. Some seal lock agents harden slowly. You may have to wait for the seal lock adhesive to harden. GASKETS When necessary, use a sealer on gaskets to prevent leaks. BOLTS, NUTS AND SCREWS Carefully follow all the specifications for tightening torques. Always use a torque wrench. FUSES When inspecting a fuse, check that the wire of the fuse is not broken. When replacing fuses, be sure that the new fuse has the correct amperage rating. Do not exceed the rating or use one with a lower rating. Seal Lock Adhesive FUSES REFERENCE Graphic Symbol Part Name Abbreviation FUSE FUSE MEDIUM CURRENT FUSE M-FUSE HIGH CURRENT FUSE H-FUSE FUSIBLE LINK FL CIRCUIT BREAKER CB CLIPS The removal and installation methods of typical clips used for vehicle body parts are shown in «RIVETS DESCRIPTION TABLE»(ref-235541-S06181200202006062400000).

Do not pull from the middle of the hose as this may damage the hose. When disconnecting vacuum hoses, use tags to identify where they should be reconnected. After completing any hose related repairs, double check that the vacuum hoses are properly connected. The label under the hood shows the proper layout. When using a vacuum gauge, never force the hose onto a connector that is too large. If a hose has been stretched, air may leak. Use a stepdown adapter if necessary. TORQUE WHEN USING TORQUE WRENCH WITH EXTENSION TOOL Use the formula below to calculate special torque values for situations where SST or an extension tool is combined with the torque wrench. Formula: T' = L2/(L1 + L2) * T FORMULA DESCRIPTION T' Reading of torque wrench {N*m (kgf*cm, ft.*lbf)} T Torque {N*m (kgf*cm, ft.*lbf)} L1 Length of SST or extension tool {cm (in.)} L2 Length of torque wrench {cm (in.)} NOTE: If an extension tool or SST is combined with a torque wrench and the wrench is used to tighten to a torque specification in this article, the actual torque will be excessive and parts will be damaged.
2. FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH SRS AIRBAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER The LEXUS IS250/350 is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). CAUTION: Failure to carry out the service operations in the correct sequence could cause the SRS to unexpectedly deploy during servicing and lead to serious injury. Furthermore, if a mistake is made when servicing SRS, it is possible that the SRS may fail to operate properly. Before servicing (including removal or installation of parts, inspection or replacement), be sure to read the following part of the article carefully. GENERAL NOTICE As malfunctions of the SRS are difficult to confirm, the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) become the most important source of information when troubleshooting. When troubleshooting the SRS, always check the DTCs before disconnecting the battery. Work must be started at least 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned off and after the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) battery terminal. The SRS is equipped with a back-up power source. If work is started within 90 seconds after turning the ignition switch off and disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, the SRS may deploy. When the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) battery terminal, clock and audio system memory is erased. Before starting work, make a note of the settings of each memory system. When work is finished, reset the clock and audio system as before. CAUTION: Never use a back-up power source (battery or other) to avoid erasing system memory. The back-up power source may inadvertently power the SRS and cause it to deploy. In minor collisions where the SRS does not deploy, the steering pad, front passenger airbag assembly, driver side knee airbag assembly, passenger side knee airbag assembly, front seat side airbag assembly, curtain shield airbag assembly and front seat outer belt assembly should be inspected before further use of the vehicle. (See «STEERING PAD»(ref-235542-S38553057162006062400000) for steering pad) (See «FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY»(ref-235542-S30153543652006062400000) for front passenger airbag assembly) (See «FRONT SEAT SIDE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY»(ref-235542-S27863184242006062400000) for front seat side airbag assembly) (See «DRIVER SIDE KNEE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY»(ref-235542-S19038610452006062400000) for driver side knee airbag assembly) (See «FRONT PASSENGER SIDE KNEE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY»(ref-235542-S21852616722006062400000) for passenger side knee airbag assembly) (See «CURTAIN SHIELD AIRBAG ASSEMBLY»(ref-235542-S42206507122006062400000) for curtain shield airbag assembly) (See «FRONT SEAT OUTER BELT ASSEMBLY»(ref-235573-S28971028162006062400000) for front seat outer belt assembly) Never use SRS parts from another vehicle. When replacing parts, use new parts. Before repairs, remove the airbag sensor assemblies if impacts are likely to be applied to the sensor during repairs.

GENERAL INFORMATION

A large number of ECU controlled systems are used in the LEXUS IS250/350. In general, ECU controlled systems are considered to be very intricate, requiring a high level of technical knowledge to troubleshoot. However, most problem checking procedures only involve inspecting the ECU controlled system's circuits one by one. An adequate understanding of the system and a basic knowledge of electricity is enough to perform effective troubleshooting, accurate diagnoses and necessary repairs.

FOR USING INTELLIGENT TESTER

1. Before using the intelligent tester, read the tester operator's manual thoroughly.
2. If the tester cannot communicate with the ECU controlled systems when the tester is connected to the DLC3 with the ignition switch on and the tester turned on, there is a problem on the vehicle side or tester side. If communication is normal when the tester is connected to another vehicle, inspect the diagnosis data link line (Bus (+) line) or ECU power circuit of the vehicle. If communication is still not possible when the tester is connected to another vehicle, the problem is probably in the tester itself. Perform the Self Test procedures outlined in the tester operator's manual.

1. BASIC INSPECTION WHEN MEASURING RESISTANCE OF ELECTRONIC PARTS Unless otherwise stated, all resistance measurements should be made at an ambient temperature of 20°C (68°F). Resistance measurements may be inaccurate if measured at high temperatures, i.e. immediately after the vehicle has been running. Measurements should be made after the engine has cooled down. HANDLING CONNECTORS When disconnecting a connector, first squeeze the mating connector housing halves tightly together to release the lock, and then press the lock claw and separate the connector. When disconnecting a connector, do not pull on the harnesses. Grasp the connector directly and separate it. Before connecting a connector, check that there are no deformations, damage, looseness or missing terminals. When connecting a connector, press firmly until it locks with a "click" sound. If checking a connector with a TOYOTA electrical tester, check the connector from the backside (harness side) using a mini test lead. NOTE: As a waterproof connector cannot be checked from the backside, check it by connecting a sub-harness. Do not damage the terminals by moving the inserted tester needle. CHECKING CONNECTORS Checking when a connectors is disconnected: Squeeze the connector together to confirm that they are fully connected and locked. Checking when a connector is disconnected: Check by pulling the wire harness lightly from the backside of the connector. Look for unlatched terminals, missing terminals, loose crimps or broken conductor wires. Check visually for corrosion, metallic or foreign matter and water, and bent, rusted, overheated, contaminated, or deformed terminals. Checking the contact pressure of the terminal: Prepare a spare male terminal. Insert it into a female terminal, and check for ample tension when inserting and after full engagement. NOTE: When testing a gold-plated female terminal, always use a gold-plated male terminal. REPAIR METHOD OF CONNECTOR TERMINAL If there is any foreign matter on the terminal, clean the contact point with compressed air or a cloth. Never rub the contact point using sandpaper as the plating may come off. If there is abnormal contact pressure, replace the female terminal. If the male terminal is goldplated (gold color), use a gold-plated female terminal; if it is silver-plated (silver color), use a silver-plated female terminal. Damaged, deformed, or corroded terminals should be replaced. If the terminal does not lock into the housing, the housing may have to be replaced. HANDLING OF WIRE HARNESS If removing a wire harness, check the wiring and clamping before proceeding so that it can be restored in the same way. Never twist, pull or slacken the wire harness more than necessary. The wire harness should never come into contact with a high temperature part, or rotating, moving, vibrating or sharp-edged parts. Avoid contact with panel edges, screw tips and other sharp items. When installing parts, never pinch the wire harness. Never cut or break the cover of the wire harness. If it is cut or broken, replace it or repair it with vinyl tape.
2. CHECK FOR OPEN CIRCUIT For an open circuit in the wire harness in (Scheme 55), the resistance or voltage, as described below. Check the resistance. Disconnect connectors A and C and measure the resistance between the terminals of the connectors. Standard resistance (Scheme 56) TESTER CONNECTION AND SPECIFIED CONDITION Tester Connection Specified Condition Connector A terminal 1 - Connector C terminal 1 10 k ohms or higher Connector A terminal 2 - Connector C terminal 2 Below 1 ohms HINT: Measure the resistance while lightly shaking the wire harness vertically and horizontally. If the results match the examples above, an open circuit exists between terminal 1 of connector A and terminal 1 of connector C. Disconnect connector B and measure the resistance between the terminals of the connectors. Standard resistance (Scheme 57) TESTER CONNECTION AND SPECIFIED CONDITION Tester connection Specified Condition Connector A terminal 1 - Connector B1 terminal 1 Below 1 ohms Connector B2 terminal 2 - Connector C terminal 2 10 k ohms or higher If the results match the examples above, an open circuit exists between terminal 1 of connector B2 and terminal 1 of connector C. Check the voltage. In a circuit in which voltage is applied to the ECU connector terminal, an open circuit can be checked by conducting a voltage check. With each connector still connected, measure the voltage between the body ground and these terminals (in this order): 1) terminal 1 of connector A, 2) terminal 1 of connector B, and 3) terminal 1 of connector C. Standard voltage (Scheme 58) TESTER CONNECTION AND SPECIFIED CONDITION Tester Connection Specified Condition Connector A terminal 1 - Body ground 5 V Connector B terminal 1 - Body ground 5 V Connector C terminal 1 - Body ground Below 1 V If the results match the examples above, an open circuit exists in the wire harness between terminal 1 of connector B and terminal 1 of connector C.
3. CHECK FOR SHORT CIRCUIT If the wire harness is ground shorted (Scheme 59), locate the section by conducting a resistance check with the body ground (below). Check the resistance with the body ground. Disconnect connectors A and C and measure the resistance. Standard resistance (Scheme 60) TESTER CONNECTION AND SPECIFIED CONDITION Tester Connection Specified Condition Connector A terminal 1 - Body ground Below 1 ohms Connector A terminal 2 - Body ground 10 k ohms or higher HINT: Measure the resistance while lightly shaking the wire harness vertically and horizontally. If your results match the examples above, an open circuit exists between terminal 1 of connector A and terminal 1 of connector C. Disconnect connector B and measure the resistance. Standard resistance see scheme 61 TESTER CONNECTION AND SPECIFIED CONDITION Tester Connection Specified Condition Connector A terminal 1 - Body ground 10 k ohms or higher Connector B2 terminal 2 - Body ground Below 1 ohms If the results match the examples above, a short circuit exists between terminal 1 of connector B2 and terminal 1 of connector C.
4. CHECK AND REPLACE ECU NOTE: The connector should not be disconnected from the ECU. Perform the inspection from the backside of the connector on the wire harness side. When no measuring condition is specified, perform the inspection with the engine stopped and the ignition switch on. Check that the connectors are fully seated. Check for loose, corroded or broken wires. First, check the ECU ground circuit. If it is faulty, repair it. If it is normal, the ECU could be faulty. Temporarily replace the ECU with a normally functioning one and check if the symptoms occur. If the trouble symptoms disappear, replace the original ECU. Measure the resistance between the ECU ground terminal and body ground. Standard resistance: Below 1 ohms Disconnect the ECU connector. Check the ground terminal on the ECU side and wire harness side for bending, corrosion or foreign matter. Lastly, check the contact pressure of the female terminals.

1. OPERATION FLOW HINT: Perform troubleshooting in accordance with the procedures below. The following is an outline of basic troubleshooting procedures. Confirm the troubleshooting procedures for the circuit you are working on before beginning troubleshooting. VEHICLE BROUGHT TO WORKSHOP CUSTOMER PROBLEM ANALYSIS Ask the customer about the conditions and environment when the problem occurred. INSPECT BATTERY VOLTAGE Standard voltage: 11 to 14 V If the voltage is below 11 V, recharge or replace the battery before proceeding. SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION AND DTC (AND FREEZE FRAME DATA) CHECK Visually check the wire harnesses, connectors and fuses for open and short circuits. Warm up the engine to the normal operating temperature. Confirm the problem symptoms and conditions, and check for DTCs Result RESULT REFERENCE Result Proceed to DTC is output A DTC is not output B B: Go to step 6 A: Go To Next Step DTC TABLE Check the results obtained in step 4 . Then find the output DTC in the DTC table. Look at the "Trouble Area" column for a list of potentially malfunctioning circuits and/or parts. NEXT: Go to step 7 PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE Check the results obtained in step 4 . Then find the problem symptoms in the problem symptoms table. Look at the "Suspected Area" column for a list of potentially malfunctioning circuits and/or parts. CIRCUIT INSPECTION OR PARTS INSPECTION Identify the malfunctioning circuit or part. ADJUST, REPAIR OR REPLACE Adjust, repair or replace the malfunctioning circuit or parts. CONFIRMATION TEST After the adjustment, repairs or replacement, confirm that the malfunction no longer exists. If the malfunction does not reoccur, perform a confirmation test under the same conditions and in the same environment as when the malfunction occurred the first time. END
2. CUSTOMER PROBLEM ANALYSIS HINT: In troubleshooting, confirm that the problem symptoms have been accurately identified. Preconceptions should be discarded in order to make an accurate judgment. To clearly understand what the problem symptoms are, it is extremely important to ask the customer about the problem and the conditions at the time the malfunction occurred. Gather as much information as possible for reference. Past problems that seem unrelated may also help in some cases. The following 5 items are important points in the problem analysis: VEHICLE INFORMATION What Vehicle model, system name When Date, time, occurrence frequency Where Road conditions Under what conditions? Running conditions, driving conditions, weather conditions How did it happen? Problem symptoms
3. SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION AND DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE HINT: The diagnostic system in the LEXUS IS250/350 has various functions. The first function is the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) check. A DTC is a code stored in the ECU memory whenever a malfunction in the signal circuits to the ECU occurs. In a DTC check, a previous malfunction's DTC can be checked by a technician during troubleshooting. Another function is the Input Signal Check, which checks if the signals from various switches are sent to the ECU correctly. By using these functions, the problem areas can be narrowed down and troubleshooting is more effective. Diagnostic functions are incorporated in the following system in the LEXUS IS250/350.

In addition, the DTC should be compared to the problem symptom to see if they are related. For this reason, DTCs should be checked before and after confirmation of symptoms (i.e., whether or not problem symptoms exist) to determine current system conditions, as shown in the flow diagram below. Never skip the DTC check. Failing to check DTCs may, depending on the case, result in unnecessary troubleshooting for systems operating normally or lead to repairs not related to the problem. Follow the procedures listed in the flow diagram in the correct order. The following flow diagram shows how to proceed with troubleshooting using the DTC check. Directions from the flow diagram will indicate how to proceed either to DTC troubleshooting or to the troubleshooting of each problem symptom. DTC CHECK MAKE A NOTE OF DTCS DISPLAYED AND THEN CLEAR MEMORY SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION Result RESULT REFERENCE Result Proceed to No symptoms exist A Symptoms exist B B: Go to step 5 A: Go To Next Step SIMULATION TEST USING SYMPTOM SIMULATION METHODS DTC CHECK Result RESULT REFERENCE Result Proceed to DTC is not output A DTC is output B B: TROUBLESHOOTING OF PROBLEM A: Go To Next Step SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION Result RESULT REFERENCE Result Proceed to No symptoms exist A Symptoms exist B If a DTC was displayed in the initial DTC check, the problem may have occurred in a wire harness or connector in that circuit in the past. Check the wire harness and connectors. B: SYSTEM NORMAL A: TROUBLESHOOTING OF EACH PROBLEM SYMPTOM The problem still occurs in a place other than the diagnostic circuit (the DTC displayed first is either for a past problem or a secondary problem).
4. SYMPTOM SIMULATION HINT: The most difficult case in troubleshooting is when no problem symptoms occur. In such a case, a thorough problem analysis must be carried out. A simulation of the same or similar conditions and environment in which the problem occurred in the customer's vehicle should be carried out. No matter how much skill or experience a technician has, troubleshooting without confirming the problem symptoms will lead to important repairs being overlooked and mistakes or delays. For example: With a problem that only occurs when the engine is cold or as a result of vibration caused by the road during driving, the problem can never be determined if the symptoms are being checked on a stationary vehicle or a vehicle with a warmed-up engine. Vibration, heat or water penetration (moisture) is difficult to reproduce. The symptom simulation tests below are effective substitutes for the conditions and can be applied on a stationary vehicle. Important points in the symptom simulation test: In the symptom simulation test, the problem symptoms as well as the problem area or parts must be confirmed. First, narrow down the possible problem circuits according to the symptoms. Then, connect the tester and carry out the symptom simulation test, judging whether the circuit being tested is defective or normal. Also, confirm the problem symptoms at the same time. Refer to the problem symptoms table for each system to narrow down the possible causes. VIBRATION METHOD: When a malfunction seems to occur as a result of vibration. PART AND SENSOR Apply slight vibration with a finger to the part of the sensor suspected to be the cause of the problem, and check whether or not the malfunction occurs. NOTE: Applying strong vibration to relays may open relays. CONNECTORS Slightly shake the connector vertically and horizontally. WIRE HARNESS Slightly shake the wire harness vertically and horizontally. HINT: The connector joint and fulcrum of the vibration are the major areas that should be checked thoroughly. HEAT METHOD: When a malfunction seems to occur when the area in question is heated. Heat the component that is the possible cause of the malfunction with a hair dryer or similar device. Check if the malfunction occurs. NOTE: Do not heat to more than 60°C (140°F). Exceeding this temperature may damage the components. Do not apply heat directly to the parts in the ECU. WATER SPRINKLING METHOD: When a malfunction seems to occur on a rainy day or in high-humidity. Sprinkle water onto the vehicle and check if the malfunction occurs. NOTE: Never sprinkle water directly into the engine compartment. Indirectly change the temperature and humidity by spraying water onto the front of the radiator. Never apply water directly onto the electronic components. HINT: If the vehicle has or had a water leakage problem, the leakage may have damaged the ECU or connections. Look for evidence of corrosion or short circuits. Proceed with caution during water tests. HIGH ELECTRICAL LOAD METHOD: When a malfunction seems to occur when electrical load is excessive. Turn on the heater blower, headlight, rear window defogger and all other electrical loads. Check if the malfunction reoccurs.
5. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE TABLE Look for output Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) (from the DTC checks) in the appropriate article's Diagnostic Trouble Code Table. Use the table to determine the trouble area and the proper inspection procedure. A description of each of the tables columns is shown in «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE TABLE»(ref-235541-S10706158122006062400000). DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE TABLE Item Description DTC No. Indicates the diagnostic trouble code Detection Item Indicates the system or details of the problem Trouble Area Indicates the suspect areas of the problem Reference Indicates the reference where the inspection procedures for each circuit is to be found, or gives instruction for checking and repairs.
6. PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE When a "Normal" code is output during a DTC check but the problem still occurs, use the Problem Symptoms Table. The suspected areas (circuits or parts) for each problem symptoms are in the table. The suspected areas are listed in order of probability. A description of each of the tables columns is shown in «PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE»(ref-235541-S32240540662006062400000). HINT: In some cases, the problem is not detected by the diagnostic system even though a problem symptom occurs. It is possible that the problem is occurring outside the detection range of the diagnostic system, or that the problem occurs in a completely different system. PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE Item Description Problem Symptom - Circuit Inspection, Inspection Order Indicates the order in which the circuits need to be checked Circuit or Part Name Indicates the circuit or part which needs to be checked Reference Indicates the reference where the flow diagram for each circuit is located
