Inspection Procedure

  1. DO ACTIVE TEST OF OBD II SCAN TOOL OR LEXUS HAND-HELD TESTER 
    1. Check speedometer operation.
      1. Connect the OBD II scan tool or LEXUS hand-held tester to DLC3.
      2. Turn the ignition switch ON and push the OBD II scan tool or LEXUS hand-held tester main switch ON.
      3. Select the ACTIVE TEST mode on the OBD II scan tool or LEXUS hand-held tester.
      4. Check that the prove moves as OBD II scan tool or LEXUS hand-held tester directs in each range.

      OK: The meter operates normally. 

    1. NG: CHECK AND REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSY 
    2. OK: GO TO NEXT STEP 
  2. READ VALUE OF OBD II SCAN TOOL OR LEXUS HAND-HELD TESTER 
    1. Check output value of speedometer.
      1. Connect the OBD II scan tool or LEXUS hand-held tester to DLC3.
      2. Turn the ignition switch ON and push the OBD II scan tool or LEXUS hand-held tester main switch ON.
