INTAKE AIR CONTROL VALVE

Note. Intake Air Control (IAC) valve is used on Acoustic Control Induction System (ACIS).

INTAKE AIR CONTROL VALVE VACUUM SWITCHING VALVE

Note. Intake air control valve VSV may also be referred to as Acoustic Control Induction System (ACIS) vacuum switching valve.

ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM)

CAUTIONIf ECM is replaced, ECM must be programmed with proper ignition key code for engine immobilizer system. For programming procedures, see COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES - LEXUS article in GENERAL INFORMATION.

Ensure ignition is off. Remove ECM. See ECM LOCATION table. To install, reverse removal procedure.

ECM LOCATION

AIR/FUEL RATIO (A/F) SENSOR

Note. Air/Fuel Ratio (A/F) sensor may also be referred to as Air/Fuel (A/F) sensor.

HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR

Note. Bank 1 refers to bank that includes cylinder No. 1. Bank 2 refers to bank without cylinder No. 1. Sensor 1 refers to sensor closest to engine block. Sensor 2 refers to sensor farthest away from engine block.

PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION (PNP) SWITCH

Note. ES300 and IS300 use a shift interlock system on automatic transmission. See appropriate SHIFT INTERLOCK SYSTEMS article.

CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) SENSOR

Note. On ES300 and RX300, Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor is also known as Variable Valve Timing (VVT) sensor. For VVT sensor removal and installation, see VARIABLE VALVE TIMING (VVT) SENSOR under VARIABLE VALVE TIMING (VVT) SYSTEM.

FUEL SYSTEM

WARNINGAlways relieve fuel pressure before disconnecting any fuel injection-related component. DO NOT allow fuel to contact engine or electrical components. See FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE RELEASE .

FUEL FILTER (IN-TANK)

Note. LX470 is not equipped with an in-tank fuel filter. Fuel filter is located on fuel pump. See REMOVAL (LX470) under FUEL PUMP.

GS300, GS430, IS300, LX470 & SC430

  1. Ensure fuel line connector is clean. Disconnect fuel line quick connector as illustrated. (Scheme 78) If connector and line are stuck, pinch retainer, push and pull connector to free. DO NOT use tools to disconnect connector. After disconnecting, ensure seal surface is clean. Cover connector with plastic to prevent damage.
  2. When removing retainer from fuel line, replace with new one. Apply small amount of engine oil to fuel line tip for easier installation. Push connector and retainer together until a click sound is heard. Ensure connection is secure by pulling on connector. Start engine and check for leaks.

FUEL PRESSURE PULSATION DAMPER

Note. For ES300, See Removal (ES300) under FUEL RAILS & INJECTORS. For RX300, see FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR .

FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR

Note. All models except LX470 use a returnless fuel system. Fuel pressure regulator is mounted to fuel pump assembly and is located in fuel tank. LX470 uses a fuel return system with fuel pressure regulator mounted on fuel rail.

FUEL PUMP SWITCH

Note. Fuel pump switch may also be referred to as fuel pump inertia switch or fuel pump control switch.

RX300

If IAC valve replacement is necessary, remove throttle body. See THROTTLE BODY .

CHARCOAL CANISTER

Note. Charcoal canister is also referred to as EVAP canister.

VARIABLE VALVE TIMING (VVT) INTAKE CAMSHAFT PULLEY

For removal and installation procedure of variable valve timing intake camshaft pulley, see appropriate article in ENGINES.

VARIABLE VALVE TIMING (VVT) SENSOR

Note. GS300 and IS300 models are equipped with variable valve timing but use the camshaft position sensor instead of Variable Valve Timing (VVT) sensors to determine camshaft position. See CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR under IGNITION SYSTEM.
