WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2024 Lexus IS 300, 2023 Lexus IS 300, 2022 Lexus IS 300, 2021 Lexus IS 300, and 2020 Lexus IS 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- INSPECT TRANSMISSION CONTROL SWITCH (TRANSMISSION FLOOR SHIFT ASSEMBLY)
- Disconnect the K80 transmission floor shift assembly (transmission control switch) connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
*a Component without harness connected
(Transmission Floor Shift Assembly (Transmission Control Switch))Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 4 (IG) - 5 (S) Shift lever in M, "+" and "-" Below 1 Ω Shift lever not in M, "+" and "-" 10 kΩ or higher 3 (SFTU) - 2 (E) Shift lever held in "+" (Up shift) Below 1 Ω Shift lever in M 10 kΩ or higher 1 (SFTD) - 2 (E) Shift lever held in "-" (Down shift) Below 1 Ω Shift lever in M 10 kΩ or higher Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
NG
REPLACE TRANSMISSION FLOOR SHIFT ASSEMBLY (TRANSMISSION CONTROL SWITCH). Refer to COMPONENTS [09/2020 - ]
Result:
OK
See step 2
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TRANSMISSION CONTROL SWITCH - BATTERY, BODY GROUND)
- Turn the engine switch on (IG).
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition K80-4 (IG) - Body ground Engine switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V Engine switch off Below 1 V - Turn the engine switch off.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition K80-2 (E) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (TRANSMISSION CONTROL SWITCH - BATTERY, BODY GROUND)
Result:
OK
See step 3
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TRANSMISSION CONTROL SWITCH - ECM)
- Connect the K80 transmission floor shift assembly (transmission control switch) connector.
- Disconnect the A91 ECM connector.
- Turn the engine switch on (IG).
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition A91-59 (S) - Body ground Shift lever in M, "+" and "-" 11 to 14 V Shift lever not in M, "+" and "-" Below 1 V - Turn the engine switch off.
- Disconnect the spiral cable sub-assembly connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition A91-42 (SFTU) - Body ground Shift lever held in "+" (Up shift) Below 1 Ω Shift lever in M 10 kΩ or higher A91-43 (SFTD) - Body ground Shift lever held in "-" (Down shift) Below 1 Ω Shift lever in M 10 kΩ or higher Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
OK
