Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lexus ES 350. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. READ VALUE OF INTELLIGENT TESTER 
    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the intelligent tester main switch on.
    3. Select the item below in the DATA LIST, and read the display on the intelligent tester.

      MAIN BODY (MAIN BODY ECU): 

      DATA LIST

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      ILLUMINATE RATE Illumination rate information / 0 ms to 99.99 ms 0.8 ms to 22.0 ms (Value is output according to ambient light levels) -

      OK: Normal condition listed above is displayed. 

    NG: Go to step 2 

    OK: REPLACE INSTRUMENT PANEL JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY 

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MAIN BODY ECU-AUTOMATIC LIGHT CONTROL SENSOR) 
    1. Disconnect the G3 automatic light control sensor connector.
    2. Disconnect the E60 main body ECU connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      E60-18 (CLTE) - G3-3 (CLTE) Always Below 1 Ω
      E60-19 (CLTS) - G3-5 (CLTS) Always Below 1 Ω
      E60-20 (CLTB) - G3-6 (CLTB) Always Below 1 Ω
      E60-18 (CLTE) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      E60-19 (CLTS) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      E60-20 (CLTB) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step. 

  3. INSPECT MAIN BODY ECU (INSTRUMENT PANEL JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY) 
    1. Reconnect the main body ECU connector.
    2. Measure the voltage and resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard voltage 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      G3-6 (CLTB) - G3-3 (CLTE) Engine switch off Below 1 V
      G3-6 (CLTB) - G3-3 (CLTE) Engine switch on (IG) 10 to 14 V

      Standard resistance 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition

    3. Check the waveform.

      OK 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Tool Setting Condition Specified Condition
      G3-3 (CLTE) - G3-5 (CLTS) 5 V/DIV., 5 ms./DIV. Engine switch on (IG), light control switch in AUTO Correct waveform is as shown

      HINT:

      If the ambient light becomes brighter, width A becomes narrower.
