WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Lexus RX 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Access ECM behind glove box. Turn ignition on. Using DVOM, backprobe between ground and terminal No. 9 (Black wire) at ECM harness connector E6. See Figure. Voltage should be 9-14 volts. If voltage is as specified, replace ECM. If voltage is not as specified, go to next step.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect heated oxygen sensor No. 2 harness connector. Connector is located underneath driver's seat, near center console. It may be necessary to remove driver's seat to access connector. Measure resistance between terminals HT (Black wire) and B+ (Black/Red wire) at heated oxygen sensor No. 2 connector. Resistance should be 11-16 ohms at 68°F (20°C). If resistance is not as specified, replace heated oxygen sensor No. 2. If resistance is as specified, go to next step.
- Repair wiring between ECM and heated oxygen sensor No. 2 or between heated oxygen sensor No. 2 and EFI main relay. See WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
