Diagnostic Aids

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Lexus ES 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. After confirming DTCs P0115, P0117 or P0118, use hand-held tester or OBD-II scan tool to check engine coolant temperature from DIAGNOSIS/ENHANCED OBD-II/DATA LIST/ALL DATA. If temperature displayed on scan tool is -40°F (-40°C), ECT sensor circuit may be open. If temperature displayed on scan tool is 284°F (140°C) or more, ECT sensor circuit may be shorted.
  2. If different DTCs that are related to different systems are output simultaneously while terminal E2 is used as a ground terminal, terminal E2 may be open.
  3. Read freeze frame data using hand-held tester or OBD-II scan tool, as freeze frame data records engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, it is useful to determine whether vehicle was running or stopped, engine was warmed up or not, air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, etc. at time of malfunction.
