Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Lexus IS F. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK PERSONAL LIGHT (OPERATION) 

    HINT

    The personal lights and seat illumination share the same power source circuit Therefore, if none of them come on, inspect the power source circuit first

    1. Push the personal light switches.
    2. Check that the personal lights come on

      OK: Personal lights come on. 

    NG: Go to step  7

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3
    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Enter the following menus. Body Electrical / Body No 3 / Active Test
    5. Check the operation

      Body No. 3 (Main Body ECU LH) 

      DIAGNOSTIC NOTE

      Tester Display Test Part Control Range Diagnostic Note
      Interior Light (Dim) Operation Front and rear seat illumination ON/OFF -

      OK: Front and rear seat illumination comes on. 

      Result 

      RESULT CHART

      Result Proceed to
      Front seat illumination does not come on A
      Rear seat illumination does not come on B
      Neither front nor rear seat illumination comes on C
      OK D

      HINT

      If the rear seat illumination comes on normally, but the front seat illumination does not come on, there is an open circuit in the overhead junction block

    A: REPLACE OVERHEAD JUNCTION BLOCK  (See REMOVAL  )

    B: Go to step 3 

    C: Go to step  5

    D: PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE  (See PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE  )

  3. INSPECT SPOT LIGHT ASSEMBLY (REAR SEAT ILLUMINATION) 
    1. Remove the spot light assembly.
    2. Connect a positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 2 and a negative (-) lead to terminal 5, and then check that the seat illumination comes on

      OK: Seat illumination comes on. 

    NG: REPLACE SPOT LIGHT ASSEMBLY  (See ROOM LIGHT  )

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (OVERHEAD JUNCTION BLOCK - SPOT LIGHT ASSEMBLY) 
    1. Disconnect the R8 spot light assembly connector.
    2. Disconnect the R5 overhead junction block connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below

      Standard Resistance 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      R8-2 (ILLB) - R5-4 (ILLB) Always Below 1 Ω
      R8-5 (LILL) - R5-32 (LILL) Always Below 1 Ω
      R8-2 (ILLB) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      R8-5 (LILL) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

    OK: REPLACE OVERHEAD JUNCTION BLOCK  (See REMOVAL  )

  5. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MAIN BODY ECU LH - OVERHEAD JUNCTION BLOCK) 
    1. Disconnect the Q3 main body ECU LH connector
    2. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      Q3-3 (LGCY) - Body ground Always 11 to 14 V

    NG: Go to step 6

    OK: REPLACE MAIN BODY ECU LH (COWL SIDE JUNCTION BLOCK LH) 

  6. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MAIN BODY ECU LH - OVERHEAD JUNCTION BLOCK) 
    1. Disconnect the Q3 main body ECU LH connector.
    2. Disconnect the R5 overhead junction block connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
