SFI System: Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Lexus SC 430. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE ASSY 
    1. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminals.

      Resistance: 6.9 - 7.9 +/- at 20°C (68°F) 

    2. Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 1 and negative (-) lead to terminal 2, and check the movement of the valve.

      If operation is not as specified, replace the valve.

  2. INSPECT E.F.I. CIRCUIT OPENING RELAY ASSY 
    1. Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity between terminals 1 and 2.
    2. Check that there is no continuity between terminals 3 and 5.

      NOTE: Terms "when cold" and "when hot" in this text show the temperature of the part itself to be inspected. 

      Also, the temperature setting range is 20 +/- 30°C when cold and 75 +/- 25°C when hot.
