Noise Occurs only for Radio [09/2022 - ]: Procedure

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2024 Lexus ES 350, 2024 Lexus ES 300h, 2024 Lexus ES 250, 2023 Lexus ES 350, and 2023 Lexus ES 300h. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK CONDITIONS AROUND THE TIME THE PROBLEM OCCURRED 
    1. Check for situations/locations when noise occurs.

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      Noise occurs in all areas A
      Noise occurs in specific areas B

    Result: 

    RADIO WAVES ARE DISTURBED (RADIO WAVE ENVIRONMENT, ETC. EXTERNAL FACTOR) 

    Result: 

    See step  2

  2. CHECK FOR ADDITIONAL DEVICES (SUNSHADE FILM, TELECOMMICATIONS ANTENNAS, ETC) 
    1. Check that there is no sunshade film or additional devices such as a telecommunications antenna installed.

      OK

      Aftermarket devices (including non-genuine wiring) are not installed.

      HINT: 

      The vehicle is equipped with noise filters that prevent other systems in the vehicle from affecting the radio. Therefore, the system will not be affected by large interference. If the system is affected by large interference, confirm that no non-standard wire harnesses are installed, all of the noise filters are installed correctly, and the mount of the antenna is correctly earthed.

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    AFTERMARKET DEVICES ARE THE NOISE SOURCE 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  3

  3. CHECK RADIO RECEIVER ASSEMBLY 
    1. Disconnect the connector RA from the radio receiver assembly. Then operate the radio receiver assembly again to check for noise.

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      Noise does not occur A
      Noise occurs B

    Result: 

    REPLACE RADIO RECEIVER ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL [09/2022 - ] 

    Result: 

    See step  4

  4. CHECK INSTALLATION OF ANTENNA EARTH 
    1. Make sure that the mount of the antenna cord sub-assembly is earthed securely to the vehicle body.
    2. Make sure that the mount of the No. 4 antenna cord sub-assembly is earthed securely to the vehicle body.

      OK

      Installation is normal

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    PROPERLY INSTALL ANTENNA EARTH 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  5

  5. INSPECT NO. 4 ANTENNA CORD SUB-ASSEMBLY (DISCONNECT CONNECTOR) 
    1. With the connector between the No. 4 antenna cord sub-assembly and No. 1 amplifier antenna assembly disconnected, operate the radio receiver assembly again and check for noise.

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      Noise occurs A
      Noise does not occur B

    Result: 

    REPLACE NO. 4 ANTENNA CORD SUB-ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL [09/2022 - ] 

    Result: 

    See step  6

  6. INSPECT NO. 1 AMPLIFIER ANTENNA ASSEMBLY (DISCONNECT CONNECTOR) 
    1. With the connector between the No. 2 antenna cord sub-assembly and No. 1 amplifier antenna assembly disconnected, operate the radio receiver assembly again and check for noise.

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      Noise occurs A
      Noise does not occur B

    Result: 

    REPLACE NO. 1 AMPLIFIER ANTENNA ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL [09/2022 - ] 

    Result: 

    See step  7

  7. INSPECT NO. 2 ANTENNA CORD SUB-ASSEMBLY (DISCONNECT CONNECTOR) 
    1. With the connector between the No. 2 antenna cord sub-assembly and antenna cord sub-assembly disconnected, operate the radio receiver assembly again and check for noise.

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      Noise occurs A
      Noise does not occur B

    Result: 

    REPLACE ANTENNA CORD SUB-ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL [09/2022 - ] 

    Result: 

    REPLACE NO. 2 ANTENNA CORD SUB-ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL [09/2022 - ]
