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. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING 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 ACTIVE TEST and then check that the relay operates.

      MAIN BODY (MAIN BODY ECU): 

      DATA LIST

      Tester Display Test Part Control Range Diagnostic Note
      HEAD LIGHT (HI) DRL relay ON/OFF -

      OK: Relay operates. (High beam headlights illuminate.) 

    OK: PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE 

    NG: Go to next step. 

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SHORT IN RELAY-DRIVEN CIRCUIT) 
    1. Remove the H-LP (RH) fuse from the engine room junction block assembly.
    2. Turn the light control switch to the HEAD position and turn the dimmer switch to the HIGH position.
    3. Check if the high beam headlight LH illuminates.
    4. Turn the dimmer switch to the LOW position.
    5. Install the H-LP (RH) fuse and remove the H-LP (LH) fuse.
    6. Turn the dimmer switch to the HIGH position.
    7. Check if the high beam headlight RH illuminates.

      OK: Either high beam headlight LH or RH illuminates.

    OK: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (SHORT CIRCUIT BETWEEN FUSE AND BULB) 

    NG: Go to next step. 

  3. INSPECT ENGINE ROOM JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY 
    1. Remove the H-LP (RH) fuse and H-LP (LH) fuse from the engine room junction block assembly.
    2. Measure the voltage between the loading slot of each fuse and body ground.
