Vehicles that are Dinghy towable will not sustain internal damage to the transmission
or transfer components, as long as speed/distance limits are observed. The
transmission must be placed in the “neutral” position when Dinghy towing. Dinghy
towing these vehicles does not eliminate the possibility of damage to other vehicle
systems (Body, Chassis, Electrical Systems, etc.).

Instructions
August 24, 1998
Failure to follow the recommendations indicated below could result in less effectiveness
of the seat belt restraint system in case of vehicle collision, causing personal injury.
The seat belt extender must not be used:
a. By anyone other than for whom it was provided (name recorded on seat belt
extender).
b. In any vehicle and/or seat position other than the one for which it was
provided.
c. When the seat belt extender is provided for rear seat positions (with automatic
locking retractor), make sure the retractor is locked when in use.
If your seat belt cannot be fastened securely because it is not long enough, a
personalized seat belt extender is available from your Lexus dealer free of charge.
Please contact your local Lexus dealer so that the dealer can order the proper required
length for the extender. Bring the heaviest coat you expect to wear for proper
measurement and selection of length. Additional ordering information is available at your
Lexus dealer.
CAUTION:
When using the seat belt extender, observe the following. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in reduced effectiveness of the seat belt restraint system in
case of vehicle accident, increasing the chance of personal injury.
S Never use the seat belt extender if you can COMFORTABLY fasten the seat belt
without it.
S Remember that the extender provided for you may not be safe when used on a
different vehicle, or for another person or at a different seating position than the
one originally intended for.
To connect the extender to the seat
belt, insert the tab into the seat belt
buckle so that the “PRESS” signs on
the buckle–release buttons of the
extender and the seat belt are both
facing outward as shown.
Seat Belt Release
You will hear a click when the tab locks
into the buckle.
When releasing the seat belt, press on
the buckle–release button on the extender,
not on the seat belt. This helps prevent
damage to the vehicle interior and extender
itself.

When not in use, remove the extender and store in the vehicle for future use.

CHILD RESTRAINT SEAT TOP STRAP
BRACKET INSTALLATION
Models:
’90 – ’00 All Models
Child restraint seat top strap bracket installation procedures are provided to supplement
the Owner’s Manual. Beginning with 2001 models, the top strap brackets are factory
installed.
NOTE:
S The child restraint seat top strap assembly is not available as a service part.
Contact the child restraint seat manufacturer for recommended top strap information,
top strap to child restraint seat installation instructions, and top strap retailers.
S The top strap brackets can only be installed on vehicles that have nuts welded in

Child Restraint Seat Top Strap Bracket Installation
Obtain the exact year and vehicle model Lexus Owner’s Manual before beginning
installation.
1. Confirm with the customer which seat
location(s) they will be installing the
child restraint seat. The Owner’s
Manual seat section provides an
illustration showing available top strap
bracket location(s). The illustration
page in the Owner’s Manual is
provided on page 4 of this bulletin.
NOTE:
Determine which kit parts are needed
for each specific child seat location, by
referring to page 4 of this bulletin.

2. Remove a 20 mm diameter area of
the carpet or trim material above the
bracket mounting location. In some
vehicles, a 20 mm circle is already
pre–cut into the interior trim material.
Once the interior trim material is
removed, the nuts welded in by the
factory should be visible.
Example of Pre–Cut Circle in Package Tray Finisher
3. If a 5 mm or 15 mm spacer is
specified, remove the red lock washer
from the Bracket Sub–Assembly
(P/N 73709–12010) and remove the
10 mm spacer. Assure the red lock
washer is re–installed onto the bolt.
If a 5 mm spacer is needed, use the
15 mm bolt from the CRS Kit
(P/N 04731–22012).

panel, etc.) is removed and reinstalled using the old clips, it may cause the garnish to
exhibit a loose condition. To prevent this condition from occurring, ensure that new clips
are utilized for all attachment points every time a garnish is reinstalled. When installing
new parts, use either the new clips supplied with the part, or order new clips. Refer to the

Introduction
Beginning in 1997, Lexus introduced side airbags for the LS 400. Starting with 1998,
all Lexus vehicles are equipped with side airbags as standard equipment.
Lexus does NOT recommend replacement of original seat covers* with non-Lexus leather
or other seat cover materials due to the following:
S Seat covers NOT recommended by Lexus may affect side airbag performance, in
general or in part, during an accident.
S Modifications that negatively affect side airbag performance can result in severe
occupant injuries.
S Seat covers are an integral part of this safety system. Replacing original seat covers*
with non-Lexus leather or other seat cover materials may compromise the
effectiveness of this safety system.
S The design of the seat is complex, integrating safety and strength with comfort
and luxury.
*NOTE:
Lexus original seat covers that were NOT designed for side airbag equipped seats
cannot be used due to the effect on proper airbag performance.
Lexus strongly discourages modifying original equipment seats that have
side airbags.
Additionally, Lexus strongly advises against the installation or use of aftermarket
seat covers, which could impair the performance of the side airbags in the event of
an accident.

BRAKE PAD CLICKING NOISE
Models:
’90 – ’00 All Models
October 20, 2000
Introduction
A clicking type noise may be noticed when first applying the brakes after changing
vehicle travel direction (Drive/Forward to Reverse, Reverse to Drive/Forward). This is
a normal noise caused by the required brake pad–to–caliper clearances. When the
direction of travel is changed, the brake pads may “shift” towards the new direction of
travel. When the brake pad contacts the caliper, a clicking noise may be heard.
To minimize this clicking noise, a disc brake caliper grease has been made available for
use during brake service/maintenance operations. Under normal usage conditions this
grease should be effective for a period of 6 months to 1 year.

SULFUR ODOR FROM EXHAUST
Models:
All Models
February 24, 2003
Introduction
Applicable
Vehicles
Repair
Procedure
Some owners of Lexus vehicles may experience a sulfur–like or “rotten egg” odor from
the exhaust system. Sulfur is a natural component of crude oil from which gasoline is
refined and the amount of sulfur can be decreased through the refining process. The
amount of sulfur in fuel sold in California is regulated, however gasoline sold in other
states can have substantially higher sulfur content. Sulfur content also varies
considerably between gasoline brands and locations.
S All Models.
A sulfur odor emitted from the vehicle’s tailpipe does not necessarily indicate that there is
an issue with the engine’s running condition, but is most likely directly related to the fuel.
If the vehicle is exhibiting an excessive sulfur odor, the following checks should be
performed:
S If the MIL light is ON, check for DTCs and repair as necessary.
If no trouble is found after performing the above check, recommend the customer try a
different source of fuel.
Replacement of oxygen sensors, air/fuel ratio sensors or catalytic converters will not
reduce the odor and will therefore not be considered warrantable.

Early Type (Non–Intrusive) EVAP System Overview
There are a variety of EVAP systems in use with different monitoring strategies. It is
essential that the EVAP system be correctly identified before beginning diagnosis. The
Repair Manual is the best source for this information. The following information covers
the different systems.
The first system described is the Early Type (Non–Intrusive) EVAP System. Refer to the

Purge Operation
When the engine has reached
predetermined parameters (closed loop,
engine temp. above 125rF, etc.), stored
fuel vapors are purged from the canister
whenever the purge VSV is opened by
the ECM. At the appropriate time, the
ECM will turn on the purge VSV.
Purge VSV
Fresh Air Inlet
The ECM will change the duty ratio cycle
of the purge VSV thus controlling purge
flow volume. Purge flow volume is
determined by manifold pressure and the
duty ratio cycle of the purge VSV.
Atmospheric pressure is allowed into the
canister to ensure that purge flow is
constantly maintained whenever purge
vacuum is applied to the canister (see
Figure 1).

ORVR Operation
During refueling, low pressure above the
diaphragm in the onboard recovery valve
lifts allowing fuel vapors into the charcoal
canister. At the same time, the air drain
valve opens and the charcoal absorbs the
fuel vapors (see Figure 2).
Figure 2. ORVR Operation
Early Type (Non–Intrusive) EVAP System DTCs
EVAP Monitor Leak Operation P0440
The ECM tests for leaks by measuring
EVAP system pressure in the lines,
charcoal canister, and fuel tank. When
the EVAP pressure is higher or lower than
atmospheric pressure, the ECM
concludes that no leaks are present.
EVAP pressure is measured by the vapor
pressure sensor. If either the tank or
canister purge side is at atmospheric
pressure under specific conditions, the
ECM determines there is a leak.
Figure 3. Fuel Tank Side of System
If DTC P0440 is present, the leak is on
the fuel tank side of the EVAP system.
This also includes the lines between the
fuel tank and part of the canister. When
the Vapor Pressure sensor is measuring
tank pressure, the ECM is observing
changes in pressure and comparing tank
pressure to atmospheric pressure. No
difference in pressure indicates a leak.
The ECM may take 20 minutes or more to
complete testing the fuel tank side (see
Figure 3).
Canister Leak Detection P0446
When the ECM switches the vapor
pressure VSV to canister side, the ECM
measures canister pressure. A leak on
the canister side can set multiple DTCs
(see Figure 4).

Vapor Purge Flow P0441
The EVAP monitor is designed to detect:
S Restricted vapor purge flow when the
purge VSV is open
S Inappropriate vapor purge flow when
the purge VSV is closed
Under normal purge conditions, pressure
pulsations generated by the cycling of the
purge VSV are present in the canister
and detected by the Vapor Pressure
sensor.
Figure 5. Flow During Purge Operation
Three–Way VSV P0446
The three–way VSV is connected to the Vapor Pressure sensor, canister, and fuel tank.
This VSV allows the Vapor Pressure sensor to detect either canister or tank pressure.
There are two modes the ECM can use to determine if the three–way VSV is
malfunctioning. The three–way VSV is judged to be normal if there is pressure difference
between the tank and canister when the three–way VSV is switched to look at the
charcoal canister and fuel tank side of system.
If there isn’t any pressure difference between the fuel tank and canister, the ECM looks
for the following conditions:
S During purging, pressure pulsations generated by the purge VSV are not present in
the canister as detected by Vapor Pressure sensor, the three–way VSV is judged to
be defective.
S If there are pressure pulsations detected by the Vapor Pressure sensor present in the
fuel tank, the three–way VSV is judged to be defective.
Late Type
System
Description
Late Type (Intrusive) EVAP System Overview
The Late Type EVAP System, also known as the Intrusive type, was developed to meet
the very stringent, mandated standard of detecting a hole 0.020 inch (0.5 mm). This
system uses many of the same components as the early type EVAP system. Purge,
vacuum relief, pressure relief, and ORVR operations are identical to the early type. Refer
to the Applicable Vehicles chart for applicability information.
The following changes were made to the Late Type EVAP System:
S Vapor pressure sensor connected to the fuel tank.
S Bypass VSV in the place of the three way VSV.
S Canister Closed Valve (CCV) on the air inlet line.

VSV until the vacuum is increased to a
specified point at which time the ECM
closes the purge VSV (see Figure 2).
Figure 2. Vacuum Application
If the vacuum did not increase, or if the
vacuum increased beyond the specified
limit, the ECM judges the purge VSV and
related components to be faulty.
Hole Detection P0440 and P0442
The rate of pressure increase as detected
by the vapor pressure signal indicates the
if there is a leak and if it is a large or
small leak.
After purge valve operation, the purge
VSV is turned off sealing the vacuum in
the system and the ECM begins to
monitor the pressure increase (see
Figure 3). Some increase is normal. A
very rapid, sharp increase in pressure
indicates a leak in the EVAP system and
sets the DTC P0440.
Figure 3. System Sealed
This monitoring method is also able to
distinguish what is called the small leak
detection. A pressure rise just above
normal indicates a very small hole and
will set the DTC P0442.
Vent Control, CCV Operation P0446
This stage checks the CCV and vent (air
inlet side) operation. When the vapor
pressure rises to a specified point, the
ECM opens the CCV. Pressure will
increase rapidly because of the air
allowed into the system. No increase or
an increase below specified rate of
pressure increase indicates a restriction
on the air inlet side.

Bypass VSV Operation P0446
In the next stage, the ECM closes the
bypass VSV. This action blocks air
entering the fuel tank side of the system.
The pressure rise on the fuel tank side is
no longer as great. If there was no
change in pressure, the ECM will
conclude the bypass VSV did not close.

Diagnostic
Tips for Late
Type EVAP
System
This diagnostic process tests the EVAP System. The following diagnostic tips may be
used in conjunction with the Diagnostic Procedures for EVAP DTCs listed in the Repair
Manual. They may be used for all Late Type (Intrusive) EVAP Systems and for all EVAP
DTCs. Refer to the Applicable Vehicles chart for applicability information.
The EVAP System Pressure Test Kit (P/N 00002–6872A) and the Scan Tool can be used
to diagnose the EVAP System. Measuring EVAP System pressures using the EVAP
System Pressure Tester Gauge and the Scan Tool can aid in the identification of leaks in
the system.

READINESS MONITOR DRIVE PATTERNS

All ’96 – ’02
February 8, 2002
Introduction
The On–Board Diagnostic (OBDII) system is designed to monitor the performance of
emission–related components and report any detected abnormalities in the form of
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). Since the various components need to be monitored
during different driving conditions, the OBDII system is designed to run separate
monitoring programs called Readiness Monitors. Many state Inspection and
Maintenance (I/M) programs require that vehicles complete their Readiness Monitors
prior to beginning an emissions test.
The current status of the Readiness Monitors can be seen by using the Lexus Diagnostic
Tester with version 9.0 software (or newer), or a generic OBDII Scantool. To view the
Readiness Monitor status using the Lexus Diagnostic Tester, select “Monitor Status”
from the Enhanced OBDII Menu. A status of “complete” indicates that the necessary
conditions have been met to run the performance tests for the related Readiness Monitor.
The Readiness Monitor will be reset to “incomplete” if:
r ECU has lost power (battery or fuse).
r DTCs have been cleared.
r The conditions for running the Readiness Monitor have not been met.
In the event that any Readiness Monitor shows “incomplete,” follow the appropriate
Readiness Monitor Drive Pattern to change the readiness status to “complete.”
Refer to the Readiness Monitor Drive Pattern Application Table to determine which
drive pattern should be followed.

NOTE:
A generic OBDII Scantool can be used in place of the Toyota Diagnostic Tester.
CAUTION:
Strict observance of posted speed limits, traffic laws and road conditions are
required when performing these drive patterns.
NOTE:
r These drive patterns represent the fastest method to satisfy all necessary
conditions which allow the specific readiness monitor to complete.
r In the event that the drive pattern must be interrupted (possibly due to traffic
conditions or other factors) the drive pattern can be resumed and, in most cases,
the readiness monitor will still set to “complete.”
r To ensure rapid completion of readiness monitors, avoid sudden changes in vehicle
load and speed (driving up and down hills and/or sudden acceleration).

Drive Pattern Procedure
r Connect the OBDII Scantool to DLC3 to check monitor status and preconditions.
r Release the pressure in the fuel tank by removing and then reinstalling the fuel tank
cap.
r Start the engine and begin driving as directed.
NOTE:
r Do not turn the ignition off until the drive pattern is complete.
r Drive on smooth roads to reduce excessive fuel sloshing.
2a. Start the engine and as soon as safely possible begin driving at approximately 45
mph (72km/h) for 5 minutes. (See illustration on previous page.)
2b. Drive the vehicle at approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) for 15 minutes and include a
minimum of two stops for approximately 30 seconds. (See illustration on previous
page.)
The monitor should complete within approximately 20 minutes. If it does not, ensure
preconditions are met and repeat the drive pattern process beginning with the Cold Soak
Procedure.
NOTE:
The readiness status may not switch to “complete” after the first drive pattern trip if a
Pending Code has been set (first trip for a two–trip DTC).
r Pending Codes are available from the DTC Info Menu in Enhanced OBDII.
r Pending Codes indicate a POTENTIAL problem was detected. A second trip is
needed to confirm the DTC prior to diagnosis.

When receiving customer complaints to repair the lighter or lighter socket, please
carefully investigate the cause of the failure to prevent further occurrences. If the
customer uses the wrong size lighter element or power accessory plug, damage may
occur to the lighter socket. When applicable, instruct the customer to replace the lighter
element with original equipment components or to use an appropriate sized accessory
plug. Dimensional information included within this document will instruct you on
component specifications.
1. Determine if the lighter is original equipment by using the specifications shown.
a. If the vehicle has a non–genuine lighter element, it has the possibility to cause
a short circuit between the lighter element and the lighter socket, which can
result in an open fuse.
b. A non–genuine lighter element may cause a rattle or bend the socket bimetal
contacts.
c. If a non–genuine lighter element is being used, advise the customer to use an
original equipment element.

AIR CONDITIONING EVAPORATOR ODOR
Models:

All GS 300, SC 300/400, LX 450.
September 12, 1997
Introduction
A musty odor may be emitted from the air conditioning system of some vehicles which are
usually operated in areas with high temperature and humidity. It is most noticeable when
the air conditioner is first turned “ON” after the vehicle has been parked for several hours.
The odor could result from one or more of the following conditions:
1. Blockage of the evaporator housing drain pipe, resulting in the build up of condensation.
2. Microbial growth in the evaporator, arising from dampness in the evaporator housing
where the cooling air flow is dehumidified.
To address excessive air conditioning evaporator odor, check the evaporator housing drain
pipe for blockage. If no problems are found, the evaporator and housing should be cleaned
and disinfected using the general procedure given on page 2, and the model specific
procedure on the pages indicated in the Table of Contents at the bottom of this page.

Title STATIC NOISE ON WEAK AM STATIONS
Page 1 of 3
Some Lexus audio systems may exhibit audible electrical noise on weak AM stations when various
electrical accesssories (turn signals, rear defogger, cruise control, brakes, etc.) are operated.
Poor antenna grounding can cause this condition.
To eliminate or reduce the intensity of the noise use the following repair procedure:
REPAIR PROCEDURE:
1. Play the radio on a strong, static–free AM
station and slowly move the tip of the antenna mast forward and back approximately
2 inches (Fig. 1). If static noise is not
heard, go to Step 2. If static noise is heard
during antenna movement, replace the antenna mast and go to Step 3.
NOTE: Do not touch the antenna mast with
your bare hands. Use a glove or nonmetallic object to move the antenna. (If
you touch the antenna with your hands,
you will change the antenna sensitivity).
2. Remove the antenna mast and inspect the
base of the mast for corrosion and damage.
Clean with 1500 grit sandpaper (Fig. 2).
3.
Remove the antenna assembly and inspect the inner fender around the antenna
hole for corrosion. Clean with 1500 grit
sandpaper (Fig. 3).

CLEANING CASSETTE TAPE HEADS
AND CAPSTANS
REVISED
TSIB
Title:
The cassette tape head and capstan should be cleaned regularly to prevent poor sound
quality and/or cassettes from jamming.
Fig. 1
Conditions
The following conditions can easily be avoided by regularly cleaning the head with a tape
cleaner and only using good quality cassettes.
Poor Sound
Quality due to
Dirty Head
Since the tape head contacts the cassette tape, the tape head accumulates metal oxides
and dirt particles from the tape. In time, a layer of dirt forms on the tape head resulting in
poor transfer of information between the tape and the tape head. This typically causes a
reduction of higher frequencies or a reduction of the brightness in sound quality.
Tape Speed
Tape speed is controlled by the tape capstan and pinch rollers. If the capstan and pinch
rollers accumulate dirt, the tape may slip causing the music to play too fast or too slow.
Jamming
Dirt can make the capstans sticky, causing the tape to become entangled in the cassette
mechanism. This can cause the cassette to become jammed in the player.

Tape Care
Procedure
May 16, 1997
The following precautions should be taken to keep cassettes in good condition:
1. Remove the cassette from the player when the cassette is not in use.
2. Store the cassette in its case.
3. Store the cassette in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight and magnetic components
such as speakers.
4. Avoid touching the tape itself. This could result in poor sound quality or sound drop out.
5. Keep the tape tightly wound as shown in
figure 2. Tape speed can be affected by
loosely wound tape.
Fig. 2
6. Avoid inserting a cassette into the player if
the cassette label is loose or peeling as
shown in figure 3. This can cause a
cassette to become stuck in the player.
Fig. 3
7. Use cassettes that are 90 minutes or less
in length. Cassettes over 90 minutes use
extremely thin tape that is subject to
stretch, resulting in poor sound quality.

Title STAINS ON RAPGARD APPLIED AREAS
Page 1 of 1
On some Lexus models, when Rapgard is removed from the vehicle, a stain is left on the paint surface. This stain can be seen under the clear coat and is not a defect of the clear coat. The stain corresponds to a wrinkled area of Rapgard which retained liquids, such as window washer fluid, that left
a discoloration.
REPAIR PROCEDURE:
To remove a stain from a vehicle, heat the stain surface to a temperature of 70_C – 80_C. When the
stain is removed it will not reappear.
Equipment –
1. Infrared lamp or dryer to heat the surface.
2. Aluminum foil or a damp cloth to protect plastic parts from deformation.
Procedure –
1. Apply aluminum foil to adjoining plastic parts or cool with damp cloth periodically.
2. Use an infrared lamp or dryer on the stain developed area and heat for 5 to 10 minutes at
70_C – 80_C.
3. After heating for 5 minutes, check whether the stain has disappeared. If the stain still
remains, reheat the area and check again.
NOTE:
Take care that the body’s paint surface temperature does not become too high.

OWNER INSTRUCTION FOR PERSONALIZED SEAT BELT EXTENDER:
CAUTION FOR USE OF SEAT BELT EXTENDERS:
1. Never use the seat belt extender if you can fasten the seat belt without it.
2. Remember the seat belt extender provided for you may not be safe when used in a different vehicle, or
for another person or at a seating position different than specified.
3. When the seat belt extender is provided for a rear seat position (with automatic locking retractor), make
sure the retractor is locked when in use.
4. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN A LESS EFFECTIVE SEAT BELT
RESTRAINT SYSTEM IN CASE OF A VEHICLE ACCIDENT, CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY.
USING THE SEAT BELT EXTENDER:
1. Connect the seat belt extender to the seat belt by inserting the tab into the seat belt buckle so the buckle
release buttons of the seat belt extender and the seat belt are located on the same side as shown in the
illustration. You will hear a click when the tab properly locks into the buckle.
2. MAKE SURE THAT THE CONNECTION IS SECURE AND THE SEAT BELT EXTENDER IS NOT
TWISTED.
3. When releasing the seat belt, press on the buckle release button on the seat belt extender, not on the
seat belt. This helps prevent damage to the vehicle interior and seat belt extender.
4. When not in use, remove the extender and store in the vehicle.

Page 5 of 6
OWNER’S MANUAL TEXT:
SEAT BELT EXTENDER
If your seat belt cannot be fastened securely because it is not long enough, a personalized seat belt extender is available from your Lexus dealer free of charge.
Please contact your local Lexus dealer so that the dealer can order a seat belt extender of the proper required length. Bring the heaviest coat you expect to wear for proper measurement and selection of length.
Additional ordering information is available at your Lexus dealer.
CAUTION:
When using the seat belt extender, observe the following. Failure to follow these instructions could result in
less effectiveness of the seat belt restraint system in case of a vehicle accident, increasing the chance of
personal injury.
D Never use the seat belt extender if you can fasten the seat belt without it.
D Remember that the seat belt extender provided for you may not be safe when used on a different
vehicle, or for another person and/or at different seating positions than specified.
To connect the seat belt extender to the seat belt, insert the tab into the seat belt buckle so that the
buckle release buttons of the seat belt extender and the seat belt are both facing outward as shown.
You will hear a click when the tab locks into the buckle. When releasing the seat belt, press on the buckle–
release button on the seat belt extender, not on the seat belt. This helps prevent damage to the vehicle interior and seat belt extender itself.
When not in use, remove the seat belt extender and store in the vehicle for future use.
CAUTION:
After inserting the tab, make sure that the connection is secure and the seat belt extender is not
twisted.

Title AIR LEAK NOISE FROM FRONT DOOR GLASS AT LOWER REAR CORNER
Page 1 of 2
To prevent a possible air leak (sometimes described as wind noise) at the lower rear corner of the
front door glass, TMC implemented a production change to the interior door trim panel improving the
seal between the door glass and door weather strip. The revised trim panel applies light additional
pressure on the weather strip effectively eliminating an air leak at the #4 corner.
PRODUCTION EFFECTIVE:
Starting VIN:
JT8BF22G * V0012715
FIELD–FIX METHOD:
D Apply hand pressure at the top rear of the front door weather strip to eliminate any gap (“A”)
between the edge of the glass and weather strip.
D While sitting in the driver seat, close the door. Make certain it is closed completely.
AIR LEAK NOISE FROM DOOR GLASS AT #4 CORNER
Page 2 of 2
FIELD–FIX METHOD (CONT’D):
D Measure the gap between the weather strip (“B”) and the door glass at the lower rear inside corner of the
glass.
D Apply a thickness of foam tape equal to the measured gap plus 1 mm to the door weather strip rubber
plate. Pull the weather strip rearward far enough to expose the plate, then apply foam tape (7 mm x
14 mm) to the rubber plate.
D After foam tape is applied to the rubber plate, push the weather strip back into its fully seated position.
No gaps should exist at edge of glass or inside of glass at weatherstrip.
CAUTION:
Apply only a thickness of foam tape as necessary to eliminate the gap. Using more than the
measured amount will interfere with the normal operation of the weather strip to glass in the
full down position.

Procedure
The electrical connectors for the seat heater are identical in shape and may be
inadvertantly cross–connected. Should a customer state that the seat heaters do not
operate, it is possible that the control switches are connected improperly. This may be
caused by the connection of the right–side heater switch to the left seat and connection
of the left side switch to the right seat. If neither seat heater operates, follow the
diagnostic procedures listed in the service manual.

Title BATTERY MAINTENANCE FOR IN–STOCK VEHICLES
Page 1 of 4
A battery in a stored vehicle is subject to conditions which can reduce its performance and life. These
conditions include storage period, temperature, parasitic drain, and battery load. Because of these
factors, battery inspection and maintenance are required in order to ensure proper operation and optimal
battery life.
As a matter of policy, Lexus does not provide battery warranty coverage for discharged and/or failed
batteries due to lack of maintenance; it is the dealer’s responsibility to maintain the specified state of
charge of the vehicle’s battery while in stock.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. A monthly battery inspection is required under normal conditions. If your dealership is located in
an area subject to extreme temperatures (hot or cold), periodic maintenance may need to be
performed on a more frequent basis. When maintenance requires removal of filler plugs on
vehicles with “maintenance free” batteries, new labels are available via the following part numbers:

BATTERY MAINTENANCE FOR IN–STOCK VEHICLES
Page 2 of 4
BATTERY MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS (Cont’d):
2. To reduce battery drain during storage of in–stock vehicles, the dome light fuse of each vehicle should
be removed. It is recommended that the fuse remain disconnected until time of delivery. This
procedure can reduce battery discharge 60–80 percent. Additionally, for vehicles in storage for 30
days or more, the negative battery cable should always be disconnected to further reduce
battery discharge.
NOTE 1: For your reference, the electrical systems made inoperative by removing the dome light fuse, are
indicated in the appropriate Electrical Wiring Diagram.
NOTE 2: Additional battery maintenance information is available in the Lexus Warranty Reference And
Administration Procedures Manual (Policy # 4.10 pages 1–4).
Two test procedures are currently available for evaluating battery performance. These include:
1. Open–Circuit Voltage Test Procedure
2. Specific Gravity Test Procedure
OPEN–CIRCUIT VOLTAGE TEST PROCEDURE:
1. If the battery has recently been charged or if the engine has been run in the last hour, there will be a
surface charge on the battery. To remove the surface charge, turn on the headlights for two minutes.
NOTE: Turn off headlights before proceeding with test.
2. With the key out of the ignition, all doors closed, and all electrical accessories off, connect the voltmeter
across the battery terminals.
3. Read the voltmeter.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE FOR IN–STOCK VEHICLES
Page 3 of 4
TEST RESULTS:
1. A fully charged battery will have an open–circuit voltage of at least 12.6 volts.
2. The minimum acceptable voltage is 12.4 volts. If the reading is less than 12.4 volts, charging is
necessary. Use the slow charging procedure described below.
CHARGING PROCEDURE:
1. If the test results indicate a charge is necessary, a slow–constant 10–amp or less charge rate is
recommended until the battery reaches a full state of charge. Be sure to periodically check and
maintain the proper electrolyte levels during charging.
CAUTION:
Insure that the charger is turned off before connecting or disconnecting the leads. Always
connect the negative lead last. When disconnecting, always disconnect the negative lead first.
NOTE:
For additional information on battery inspection and testing procedures, see “Battery/Starter
Circuit Inspection And Testing Procedures” in the “Technicians Handbook For Electrical Circuits
And Diagnosis Course” (MDC # 00246–42917).
SPECIFIC GRAVITY TEST PROCEDURE:
1. Remove the vent caps or plugs from the battery cells.
2. Take the specific gravity readings with a temperature corrected hydrometer. Follow the procedure
described by the manufacturer of your hydrometer.
3. Record the specific gravity of each cell.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE FOR IN–STOCK VEHICLES
Page 4 of 4
TEST RESULTS:
1. A fully charged battery will have a specific gravity reading of approximately 1.265 at 80_F.
2. The minimum standard for this test is a specific gravity reading of 1.190. If the reading is less than
1.190, charging is necessary. Use the slow charging procedure described in this TSIB.
3. A difference of 0.050 or more between highest and lowest cell readings indicates a problem battery.
Should you encounter this situation, attempt one recharge using the slow charging procedure described
in this TSIB. Allow the battery to stabilize at least 20 minutes after the charge cycle is complete.
Recheck the specific gravity of each cell. If the deviation in cell readings still exceeds 0.050, the battery
must be replaced.
4. After battery service is complete, reinstall the battery caps/plugs and replace the plug labels as
applicable.

Title WIRELESS DOOR LOCK SERVICE INFORMATION AND DIAGNOSIS
Page 1 of 13
The following information applies to all 1996 and previous models, except the LX 450, and to both
transmitter types shown below:
FEATURES AND LIMITATIONS:
The following features and limitations of Lexus wireless door lock control systems must be thoroughly
understood before proceeding with diagnosis.
In the following information, the word “transmitter” is used to describe the signal generating device that
is an integral part of the key or fob and “receiver” is used to describe the wireless door lock ECU.
TRANSMITTER CHARACTERISTICS AND RANGE:
1. Weak radio frequency (RF) waves are used by the transmitter to operate the wireless door lock
control system. Strong radio waves or RF noise from other sources may shorten the operating
distance or prevent operation.
2. When the transmitter battery is weak, operation may be normal for the first one or two
activations and then stop as the remaining battery capacity is depleted.
WIRELESS DOOR LOCK SERVICE INFORMATION AND DIAGNOSIS
Page 2 of 13
TRANSMITTER CHARACTERISTICS AND RANGE (Cont’d):
3. On key type transmitters, the metal portion of the key serves as an antenna during transmitter operation.
For optimum performance, the path between the metal portion of the key and the vehicle should not be
obstructed by the operator’s hand or other objects.
4. On key type transmitters, the operating distance of the transmitter varies from front to back and side to
side as shown below.
NOTE: Diagram represents only a generalized view which may vary depending on the model and
operating conditions. Fob type transmitters accommodate a larger transmitter and battery which
typically provide increased operating range.

2. Auto Lock Function:
If the vehicle is unlocked with the transmitter, the doors will automatically relock if no door is opened
within 30 seconds.
3. Chatter Prevention Function:
When the receiver picks up the correct specified code the first time, it rejects subsequent code signals.
It stops reception until transmission is suspended for 0.5 seconds or longer to prevent door lock
chattering.
4. Transmitter Switch Misoperation Prevention Function:
When the ignition key is in the ignition key cylinder, the receiver will suspend signal reception.
WIRELESS DOOR LOCK SERVICE INFORMATION AND DIAGNOSIS
Page 4 of 13
WIRELESS DOOR LOCK CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS:
IMPORTANT: All wireless diagnosis must start at this point and proceed as directed. Diagnostic
information from this point forward assumes that all preceding steps have been properly
performed. If steps are performed improperly or started beyond this point, an erroneous
diagnosis may be obtained.
Start here by performing the following power door lock control and theft deterrent system checks:
1. Verify that both interior power door lock control switches will lock and unlock all doors.
2. Verify that driver and passenger door key locks will lock and unlock* all doors.
3. Verify that the theft deterrent system will arm when all doors are closed and locked.
*
Driver’s door key lock must be cycled twice to unlock all doors.
If any of the above items do not operate normally, refer to either the (Power) Door Lock Control System or Theft
Deterrent System section of the repair manual for diagnosis. The wireless feature is an enhancement to the
power door lock control system and is dependent on proper operation of the power door lock control and theft
deterrent systems.
Choose the applicable problem area from the chart shown below and refer to the listed procedure for diagnosis.

PROCEDURE A – WIRELESS INOPERATIVE AT ALL TIMES:
1. Check battery capacity (See Page 9 – Battery Capacity Check Procedure).
2. Set FM radio to 94.9 MHz* and press the transmitter button while holding transmitter near radio
antenna. If noise interference cannot be heard on the radio when the transmitter is depressed, the
transmitter is faulty. This test is only used to identify a faulty transmitter, a positive result does not
guarantee transmitter integrity or sufficient battery capacity.
*
This test cannot be performed on and does not apply to vehicles equipped with a fob type
transmitter which uses a frequency that does not have a multiple in the FM frequency range.
REMINDER: Transmitters equipped with the Auto Power Off Function quit transmitting
0.8 – 1.2 seconds after depressing the transmitter button (see Page 3).
3. Enter diagnostic mode:
a. Open driver’s door.
b. Lock all doors using the interior power door lock switch.
c. Insert key in ignition once and remove.
d. Cycle the door locks (unlock and lock = 1 cycle) using the interior power door lock switch
10 times as shown below (if door locks are cycled too slow or too fast, diagnostic mode will
not be initiated).
4. Door locks should cycle (unlock/lock) one time automatically to confirm that diagnostic mode has
been entered. If door locks do not cycle, repeat Step 3.
NOTE:
If attempts to enter the diagnostic mode fail repeatedly, faulty vehicle harness wiring or a
faulty receiver may be the cause. Refer to Matrix Chart of Problem Symptoms in the Wireless
Door Lock Control System section of the repair manual for diagnosis.

REPAIR PROCEDURE:
Since heat deformation of the cladding occurs more easily than bumpers, repair and refinishing of these
parts is not recommended. If original parts are to be refinished, observe the following precautions during
the refinish/drying process:
1.
To prevent cladding warpage, firmly hold the cladding in place and keep drying temperature below
50_C (122_F).
2.
Since the cladding and bumpers are made of a flexible plastic urethane material, use a
2–part urethane finish paint system with plasticizer for all bumper/cladding repairs.

Inspection
Contact the main office of Auto Wax Company Inc. (1–800–826–0828 or www.automagic.biz) to find a
local source for Auto Magicr Special Cleaner Concentrate.t
During rail transportation or extended storage near industrial areas, vehicles may
occasionally be subjected to contamination by airborne iron particles shed from railroad
tracks, train wheels, exposure to heavy machinery facilities, grinding, welding, etc.
This type of contamination can be identified by the presence of small red or brown
particles on the paint surface. These particles are often difficult to see on dark color
paints, but can be easily felt when brushing a hand across horizontal body surfaces such
as hood, roof, or deck lid.
CAUTION:
Because of the abrasiveness of these small iron particles, polishing or buffing
procedures should not be attempted to repair the paint surface of an affected vehicle.
This will result in further paint damage and detract from vehicle appearance.
Repair
Warranty
Information
Washing the affected paint surfaces with Auto Magicr Special Cleaner Concentratet is
the recommended method to dislodge embedded iron particles and remove the
surrounding rust stains. The correct usage of Auto Magicr Special Cleaner
Concentratet is described in this bulletin.

General
Precautions
January 12, 2005
WARNING:
Auto Magicr Special Cleaner Concentratet is a corrosive material. Appropriate
personal protection equipment must be worn to protect persons performing the
contamination removal procedure. Please refer to the precautions on the product prior
to use.
CAUTION:
Consult local or state regulations regarding the handling, use, and disposal of Auto
Magicr Special Cleaner Concentratet prior to use.
Under no circumstances should contamination removal be performed in direct
sunlight or contamination removal solution be allowed to dry on vehicle surfaces, as
staining of plastic, rubber, or painted parts may result.
Repair
Procedure
1. Move vehicle out of direct sunlight. Initially rinse with cool water then wash with liquid
car wash detergent. Rinse again thoroughly with fresh water.
2. Dilute the mixture to a 1:8 ratio for painted surfaces. Use the recommended dilution
ratio when applying to any other surface. Apply the diluted cleaner concentrate so
that it evenly covers the affected area. Use an appropriate mitt or sponge to agitate
the surface.
3. Thoroughly rinse vehicle with fresh water.
4. Inspect vehicle carefully both visually and by feel to determine if all iron particles
have been removed. Repeat the wash several times if necessary to achieve
complete removal.
5. Dry vehicle with a soft terry cloth towel and apply a non–abrasive, non–silicone glaze
to obtain a high–gloss finish.

ORDERING
Models:
All Models
It is no longer necessary to fax the CA/50 State Emission Control Label Order Form
to TMS. California (CA) and 50 State Certified underhood emission control labels
(emission labels) may now be obtained through your dealership Parts Department
utilizing standard replacement parts ordering procedures via the TDN. Follow the
guidelines outlined in this TSB to ensure proper label application.
S All model year Lexus Vehicles.
We have included a table showing 1995 – 2000 U.S. model numbers and their
exhaust emissions certifications. Please continue to consult the Electronic Parts
Catalog (EPC) or the parts microfiche for emission label parts numbers.
NOTE:
Although the California Smog Impact Fee has been discontinued, dealers are still
required by regulation to verify the correct emission label is installed on the correct
vehicle.
REGULATIONS:
The United States Clean Air Act, Title II, Sections 202, 203, 205, and 207 mandates that
the emission control label must correctly match the emissions equipment on the
vehicle. Any person violating this requirement is subject to applicable State penalties
and a Federal civil penalty of no more than $25,000 for each instance.
Personnel at franchised dealerships are authorized to affix such labels to vehicles and
are, therefore, subject to this regulation and the attendant penalties.
S Do not sell the labels over the counter. Always install the label on the vehicle.
S Never install a California and/or 50 State Label on a vehicle that is not a
California/50 State Emission Certified Vehicle.
S Do not install Federal Emission labels on vehicles that are not Federal Emissions
Certified.

Introduction
WARRANTY PARTS
MARKING PROCEDURE
Models:
All Models
Effective September 1, 2003, all warranty parts (as indicated on the next page) must be
marked in the area or location of the failure. The technician should complete this
procedure after the failed part has been removed from the vehicle and before the part is
placed in the 10–bin storage. (Exchanged parts and remanufactured parts are not
included in this procedure.)
Failed parts marking will be beneficial in detecting and resolving product and parts quality
issues. This will also offer additional opportunities to make future enhancements to our
parts and products.
Parts are subject to random inspection in the dealership by field representatives to
ensure compliance with this new policy.
Failure to comply with this policy may result in a debit of the corresponding
warranty claim(s).
Applicable
Vehicles
Parts
Marking
Procedure
S All models.
All technicians must follow these procedures to ensure proper parts marking:
S Wipe the part clean (no excess fluid should be present).
S Indicate area of defect or failure by marking the specific part(s) with a water
resistant permanent marker. Use a color that can be easily seen against the
background of the part being marked. For dark surfaces the color yellow is highly
recommended as well as the color black for light surfaces.
S Mark the area of failure or defect by drawing a circle, a square, pointing an arrow
or adhering tape with an indication of the failed or defect location.
S Attach a completed Warranty Parts Tag (M/N 00404–PRETN–TAGS) to the
marked part.
All other parts recovery/shipping policies and procedures apply.

DIAGNOSTIC TESTER CONTROLLER
AREA NETWORK (CAN) INTERFACE
MODULE
Models:
All Models
Over the next three model years, all Lexus vehicles will begin using an all–new
diagnostic communication protocol, Controller Area Network (CAN). CAN will be
introduced on the 2004 LS 430 this fall. A CAN Interface Module has been distributed
to all dealers as an essential Special Service Tool (SST) and will allow the Diagnostic
Tester to communicate with CAN–equipped vehicles. Please use the following
instructions to install the new CAN Interface Module as soon as it arrives at
your dealership.
NOTE:
S Version 10.2a or later Diagnostic Tester Software must be used to enable
communication with CAN–equipped vehicles. Version 10.2a will be distributed to
dealers via TIS before CAN–equipped vehicles arrive at dealers.
S There is no need to remove the CAN Interface Module when working with non–CAN
systems or older software versions (Version 10.1a or earlier). The Diagnostic Tester
will communicate with all DLC3/J1962 based systems with the CAN Interface
Module installed.

December 17, 2003
Introduction
This Service Bulletin contains Oxygen Sensor (O2S) Monitor threshold values for all
models from 1996 to 2003 and some 2004 models. Starting in 2004, the O2S Monitor
threshold values can be found in the repair manual. These values are used when
analyzing the O2S test results to determine the O2S condition.
S All 1996 – 2003 model year Lexus vehicles.
S 2004 model year RX 330 vehicles.
Applicable
Vehicles
Function
Description
Checking O2S Test Results
To view O2S test results, the O2S Monitor must be completed and the test results must
be checked within the same key cycle. If the ignition key is cycled OFF, the O2S test
results will be set to the minimum or maximum limits, and all test results will be erased.
The O2S test results are stored in the ECU (SAE term: Powertrain Control Module/PCM)
when the monitor is complete. The test results are static and will not change once the
monitor is complete.
The process for checking O2S test results is described in the following three basic steps:
1. Completing the O2S Readiness Monitor (page 2).
2. Accessing O2S Test Results (page 3).
3. Comparing O2S Test Results to Failure Thresholds (page 4).

Comparing
O2S Test
Results to
Failure
Thresholds
December 17, 2003
1. Determine the correct O2S Failure Threshold Chart for your vehicle by looking in the
“O2S Application Table,” pages 5 – 6 in this bulletin.
2. Select appropriate year, model, and engine for specified O2S Failure
Threshold Chart.
3. Compare O2S test results with the specified O2S Failure Threshold Chart. It may be
necessary to convert O2S test results to a specific measurement unit using the
conversion factor that is supplied in the specified table. See example below:
Example:
Example
A. The Diagnostic Tester displays
“17” as a value of the “Time $81”
(see illustration).
B. Find the Conversion Factor value
of “Time $81” in the O2S Failure
Threshold chart below.
0.3906 is specified for Time $81
in this chart.
C. Multiply “17” in step “A” by 0.3906
(Conversion Factor) in step “B.”
17 x 0.3906 = 6.6 %
D. If the answer is within the
Standard Value of TEST LIMIT,
the “Time $81” can be confirmed
to be normal.

NOTE:
S “LOW SW V” indicates the O2S
voltage when the O2S status changes
from rich to lean.
S “HIGH SW V” indicates the O2S
voltage when the O2S status changes
from lean to rich.
S If the O2S voltage is lower than
“LOW SW V,” the O2S status is lean.
S If the O2S voltage is higher than
“HIGH SW V,” the O2S status is rich.
