On-Vehicle Inspection [09/2020 - ]: Procedure

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.
  1. VISUALLY CHECK HOSES, CONNECTIONS AND GASKETS 
    1. Visually check that the hoses, connections and gaskets have no cracks, leaks or damage.
      NOTE:
      • Detachment or other problems with the engine oil level dipstick, oil filler cap sub-assembly, ventilation hose or other components may cause the engine to run improperly.
      • Disconnection, looseness or cracks in the parts of the air induction system between the throttle body with motor assembly and the cylinder head sub-assembly will allow air leaks which may lead to an engine failure or engine malfunctions.

      If any defects are found, replace parts as necessary.

  2. INSPECT EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM 
    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
    2. Slide the clip and disconnect the No. 1 fuel vapor feed hose assembly from the purge valve (purge VSV).

    3. Start the engine.
    4. Turn the GTS on.
    5. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Activate the EVAP Purge VSV.

      Powertrain > Engine > Active Test 

      Tester Display
      Activate the EVAP Purge VSV
    6. Check that vacuum occurs at the purge valve (purge VSV) port.
    7. If vacuum does not occur, check the following items.
      • Purge valve (purge VSV)
      • Clogging in the fuel vapor feed hose connecting the intake manifold and purge valve (purge VSV)
      • Voltage at the ECM PRG terminal

        Refer to TERMINALS OF ECM [09/2020 - ]

    8. Exit Active Test mode, connect the No. 1 fuel vapor feed hose assembly to the purge valve (purge VSV) and slide the clip to secure it.
    9. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / EVAP Purge VSV.

      Powertrain > Engine > Data List 

      Tester Display
      EVAP Purge VSV
    10. Warm up the engine and drive the vehicle.
    11. Confirm that the purge valve (purge VSV) opens.

      If the result is not as specified, replace the purge valve (purge VSV), wire harness or ECM.

  3. INSPECT EJECTOR 
    1. Slide the clip and disconnect the No. 3 ventilation hose from the ejector.
    2. Check the valve operation.

      *b Valve
      *c Ejector
      1. Insert the pin into the ejector hole and check that the valve moves smoothly.

        Standard

        The valve moves smoothly.

        HINT: 

        If the valve does not move smoothly, it may be stuck inside the ejector.

    3. Connect the No. 3 ventilation hose to the ejector and slide the clip to secure it.
  4. CHECK FUEL TANK AND VENT LINE 
    1. Disconnect the vent line hose from the canister (charcoal canister assembly).
    2. Connect a pressure gauge to the vent line hose.

      *1 Fuel Tank Cap Assembly *2 Vent Line Hose
      *a Pressure Gauge - -
    3. Apply 4 kPa (0.04 kgf/cm2 , 0.6 psi) of pressure to the vent line of the fuel tank assembly.

      HINT: 

      Perform this inspection with the fuel tank assembly less than 90% full. When the fuel tank assembly is full, the fuel fill check valve closes and the pressure is released through the 2 mm (0.0787 in.) orifice. As a result, when the fuel tank cap assembly is removed, the pressure does not decrease smoothly.

    4. Check that the fuel tank assembly pressure is maintained for some time and does not decrease immediately.

      HINT: 

      If the pressure decreases immediately, one of the following may apply:

      • The fuel tank cap assembly is not completely tightened.
      • The fuel tank cap assembly is damaged.
      • Air is leaking from the vent line.
      • The fuel tank assembly is damaged.
    5. Remove the fuel tank cap assembly and check that the pressure is released smoothly.

      If the pressure is not released smoothly, replace the fuel tank assembly.

    6. Connect the vent line hose to the canister (charcoal canister assembly).
  5. INSPECT AIR LINE 
    1. Disconnect the charcoal canister outlet tube sub-assembly from the leak detection pump sub-assembly.

      *a Air
    2. Check that air flows freely into the air line.

      If air does not flow freely into the air line, repair or replace the charcoal canister outlet tube sub-assembly.

    3. Connect the charcoal canister outlet tube sub-assembly to the leak detection pump sub-assembly.
