WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Lexus ES 300h. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the power switch on (IG).
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Main Body / Active Test.
- Check that the relay operates.MAIN BODY
Tester Display Test Part Control Range Diagnostic Note Interior Panel Relay PANEL relay ON/OFF - OK
PANEL relay operates.
NG → See step 2
OK → See step 7
- INSPECT PANEL RELAY
- Remove the PANEL relay from the H153 PANEL relay connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 3 - 5 Voltage is not applied between terminals 1 and 2 10 kΩ or higher 3 - 5 Voltage is applied between terminals 1 and 2 Below 1 Ω TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*a Component without harness connected
(PANEL Relay)
NG → REPLACE PANEL RELAY
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (PANEL FUSE - PANEL RELAY)
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition H153-1 - Body ground Always 11 to 14 V H153-3 - Body ground Always 11 to 14 V
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (PANEL RELAY - INSTRUMENT PANEL JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY)
- Disconnect the 3A instrument panel junction block assembly connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition H153-2 - 3A-38 Always Below 1 Ω H153-2 - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- INSPECT INSTRUMENT PANEL JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY
- Install the PANEL relay.
- Reconnect the 3A instrument panel junction block assembly connector.
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 3A-38 - Body ground Light control switch in off position 11 to 14 V Light control switch in tail or head position Below 1 V TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*a Component with harness connected
(Instrument Panel Junction Block Assembly)
NG → See step 6
OK → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (PANEL RELAY - EACH INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATION)
- INSPECT INSTRUMENT PANEL JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY
- Remove the instrument panel junction block assembly. Refer to REMOVAL [08/2013 - ] .
- Remove the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) from the instrument panel junction block assembly.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION
*a Component without harness connected
(Instrument Panel Junction Block Assembly)- - Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 3A-38 - MB-22 (PANL) Always Below 1 Ω
NG → See step 9
OK → See step 8
- PROCEED TO NEXT SUSPECTED AREA SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE. Refer to PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE [08/2013 - ]
- REPLACE MAIN BODY ECU (MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU). Refer to REMOVAL [08/2013 - ]
- REPLACE INSTRUMENT PANEL JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY. Refer to REMOVAL [08/2013 - ]
