On-Vehicle Inspection [12/2023 - ]: Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2024 Lexus TX 550h+. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK AUXILIARY BATTERY 
    1. Check that the auxiliary battery cables are connected to the correct terminals.

      If they are not, connect them properly.

    2. Check the auxiliary battery for damage and deformation. If severe damage, deformation or leakage is found, replace the auxiliary battery.
    3. Check the electrolyte level in each cell.
      1. For maintenance-free batteries:
        • If the electrolyte level is below the lower line, replace the battery.
      2. For non-maintenance-free batteries:
        • If the electrolyte level is below the lower line, add distilled water to each cell. Then, recharge the auxiliary battery and check the electrolyte specific gravity.

          Standard Specific Gravity

          1.25 or higher at 20°C (68°F)

  2. CHECK AUXILIARY BATTERY VOLTAGE 
    1. Turn the ignition switch off and turn on the headlights for 30 seconds. This will remove the surface charge from the auxiliary battery.
    2. Measure the auxiliary battery voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Result

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition Result
      Positive (+) auxiliary battery terminal - Negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal 20°C (68°F), Ignition switch off 12.0 V or higher Auxiliary battery is OK
      12.0 V or less Recharge auxiliary battery
  3. RECHARGE AUXILIARY BATTERY 
    1. Recharge the auxiliary battery.

      HINT: 

      • Recharge the auxiliary battery according to the charger's instructions.
      • Apply the appropriate charging current according to the type of auxiliary battery shown in the table below.
      Charge Method Charging Current
      Normal Below 5 A
    2. Turn the ignition switch off and turn on the headlights for 30 seconds. This will remove the surface charge from the auxiliary battery.
    3. Turn the headlights off.
    4. Measure the auxiliary battery voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Result

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition Result
      Positive (+) auxiliary battery terminal - Negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal 20°C (68°F), Ignition switch off 12.0 V or higher Auxiliary battery is OK
      12.0 V or less Recharge auxiliary battery
  4. CHECK AUXILIARY BATTERY TERMINAL, FUSIBLE LINK AND FUSE 
    1. Check that the auxiliary battery terminals are not loosen or corroded.

      If a terminal is loose or corroded, tighten or clean the terminal.

      Standard

      Battery Terminal Specified Condition
      Positive (+) terminal 5.0 N*m
      51 kgf*cm
      44 in.*lbf
      Negative (-) terminal 5.4 N*m
      55 kgf*cm
      48 in.*lbf
      NOTE:

      After installing the battery state sensor assembly, make sure that the top of the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal is above the top of the terminal clamp (on the same plane is also acceptable).

      *1 Auxiliary Battery Terminal
      *2 Terminal Clamp
    2. Check whether the battery state sensor assembly is deformed or cracked.
    3. Measure the resistance of each fusible link and fuse for the auxiliary battery charging system.

      Standard Resistance

      Below 1 Ω

      If the result is not as specified, replace the fusible link or fuse as necessary.

  5. CHECK DC/DC CONVERTER FUNCTION 
    1. Connect the AC/DC 400 A probe to the positive (+) auxiliary battery cable.

      *a Probe Direction
      *b Current Flowing into Auxiliary Battery
    2. Turn the ignition switch on (READY) and leave the vehicle as is until the electric current flowing to the auxiliary battery becomes 10 A or less.
    3. Turn on the high beam headlights, and turn the blower motor switch to the HI position and the rear window defogger on.
    4. Measure the current and voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
      GTY450666Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002
      *a Probe Direction
      *b Current Flowing from Auxiliary Battery

      Result

      Item Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      Current flowing from auxiliary battery Positive (+) auxiliary battery cable Ignition switch on (READY)
      (The high beam headlights are on, the blower motor switch is in the HI position, and the rear window defogger is turned on.)      		 0 A or less
      (No current from auxiliary battery)
      Auxiliary battery voltage Positive (+) auxiliary battery terminal - Negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal 12.5 to 15 V

      If the result is not as specified, replace the DC/DC converter.
