Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lexus GS 350. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

HINT:

Check the condition of each related circuit connector before troubleshooting (See ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT INSPECTION PROCEDURE ).

  1. INSPECT DLC3 TERMINAL VOLTAGE (TC TERMINAL VOLTAGE) 
    1. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    2. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Voltage
