Basic Inspection [08/2020 - ]: 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.
- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (Hybrid Battery SOC)
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the power switch on (IG).
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / HV Battery / Data List / Hybrid Battery SOC.
- Read the Data List.
Powertrain > HV Battery > Data List
Tester Display Hybrid Battery SOC Result
Result Proceed to "Hybrid Battery SOC" is 55 to 65% A Other than above B - Turn the power switch off.
Result:
A
See step 3
Result:
B
See step 2
- ADJUST HV BATTERY SOC
HINT:
If the following procedure (charging or discharging of the HV battery) cannot be performed due to the condition of the vehicle, proceed to the next step.
- Apply the parking brake and chock all 4 wheels.
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the power switch on (IG).
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / HV Battery / Data List / Hybrid Battery SOC.
- Depress the accelerator pedal and brake pedal simultaneously or leave the vehicle with neutral (N) selected until the value of Data List item "Hybrid Battery SOC" is between 55% and 65%.
Powertrain > HV Battery > Data List
Tester Display Hybrid Battery SOC HINT:
- Depressing the accelerator pedal and brake pedal simultaneously will cause the HV battery to charge and the value of "Hybrid Battery SOC" to increase.
- Leaving the vehicle with neutral (N) selected will cause the HV battery to discharge and the value of "Hybrid Battery SOC" to decrease.
- Turn the power switch off.

See step 3
- REPLACE HV BATTERY (NO. 1 HV SUPPLY STACK SUB-ASSEMBLY or NO. 2 HV SUPPLY STACK SUB-ASSEMBLY)
Refer to REMOVAL [08/2020 - 08/2021] , or refer to REMOVAL [08/2021 - 09/2022] , or refer to REMOVAL [09/2022 - ]

See step 4
- ROAD TEST
- Turn the power switch on (READY).
- Drive the vehicle on urban roads for approximately 10 minutes.
HINT:
Perform this procedure in order to ensure the accuracy of the inspection in the next step.
- Turn the power switch off.

See step 5
- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (Delta SOC)
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the power switch on (IG).
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / HV Battery / Data List / Delta SOC.
- Check and Record the Data List.
Powertrain > HV Battery > Data List
Tester Display Delta SOC Result
Result Proceed to "Delta SOC" is 0 to 5% A Other than above B - Turn the power switch off.
Result:
A
END
Result:
B
See step 6
- TIME TO EQUALIZE SOC
- According to the value of Data List item "Delta SOC" recorded in the previous step, equalize the SOC.
"Delta SOC" Time to Equalize SOC
(Total time necessary to leave power switch off)6 to 10% 29 hours 11 to 15% 49 hours 16 to 20% 66 hours 21 to 25% 85 hours 26 to 30% 103 hours HINT:
- SOC equalization is performed when the power switch is off.
- It is not necessary to leave the power switch off continuously for the time shown in the table. The time shown is the cumulative time the power switch must be off after a HV supply stack sub-assembly has been replaced for SOC equalization to complete.

END
- According to the value of Data List item "Delta SOC" recorded in the previous step, equalize the SOC.
