WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2024 Lexus TX 500h. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR
HINT:
Make sure that the connector is properly connected. If it is not, securely connect it and check for DTCs again.
Pre-procedure1
- Disconnect the water control valve connector.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition Result C39-2 (VCFC) - C39-3 (EFCV) Ignition switch ON 4.5 to 5.5 V V C39-1 (FCV) - C39-3 (EFCV) Ignition switch ON 3.0 to 5.0 V V
Post-procedure1
- Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Pre-procedure2
- None
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition Result C39-2 (VCFC) - C39-1 (FCV) Ignition switch off 190 to 210 kΩ kΩ Result
Proceed to OK NG
Post-procedure2
- None
Result:
OK
REPLACE WATER CONTROL VALVE. Refer to REMOVAL [09/2023 - ]
Result:
NG
See step 2
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (WATER CONTROL VALVE - ECM)
Pre-procedure1

Proceed to OK NG
Post-procedure1
- None
Result:
OK
REPLACE ECM. Refer to REMOVAL [09/2023 - ]
Result:
NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
