Inspection [06/2018 - ]: Procedure
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2024 Lexus ES 300h, 2023 Lexus ES 300h, 2022 Lexus ES 300h, 2021 Lexus ES 300h, and 2020 Lexus ES 300h. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- INSPECT ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 1 - 2 20°C (68°F) 2.32 to 2.59 kΩ 80°C (176°F) 0.310 to 0.326 kΩ NOTE:If checking the engine coolant temperature sensor in water, be careful not to allow water to contact the terminals. After checking, wipe the water off the engine coolant temperature sensor.
If the result is not as specified, replace the engine coolant temperature sensor.
*a Component without harness connected
(Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor)
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
- INSPECT NO. 2 ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 1 - 2 20°C (68°F) 2.32 to 2.59 kΩ 80°C (176°F) 0.310 to 0.326 kΩ NOTE:If checking the No. 2 engine coolant temperature sensor in water, be careful not to allow water to contact the terminals. After checking, wipe the water off the No. 2 engine coolant temperature sensor.
If the result is not as specified, replace the No. 2 engine coolant temperature sensor.
*a Component without harness connected
(No. 2 Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor)
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
