Monitor Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2025 Lexus RX 350, 2024 Lexus RX 350, and 2023 Lexus RX 350. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The ECM performs OBD II monitoring based on the values from the intake air temperature sensor (mass air flow meter sub-assembly). If there is no change of the sensor value within the normal range, the ECM will not be able to perform OBD II monitoring or will misdiagnose that the sensor is malfunctioning. The ECM detects when the intake air temperature sensor value is stuck by performing monitoring after the ignition switch is turned off or the engine is started.
