Diagnosis & Repair Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Lexus LS 400. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Connect scan tester to Data Link Connector (DLC) No. 3 connector. See Figure. Start engine and warm to normal operating temperature. Turn scan tester on. Monitor each oxygen sensor. Snap accelerate engine 3 times. Sensors should indicate a rich signal (.45 volts or more) at least once.
- If a rich signal is indicated for both sensors, replace ECM and retest. If either sensor does not display a rich signal, inspect circuits between ECM and suspect sensor for open or short circuits. Repair as necessary. If circuits are okay, replace oxygen sensor and retest.
