Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lexus ES 350. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: The vehicle is equipped with an SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) which includes components such as airbags. Before servicing (including removal or installation of parts), be sure to read the precautionary notice for the Supplemental Restraint System (See AIRBAG SYSTEM ).
  1. CHECK ILLUMINATION 
    1. Check if the illumination for the multi-display, steering pad switch assembly, glove box light, cigarette lighter, or others (seat heater switch, clock, etc.) comes on when the light control switch is turned to the HEAD or TAIL position.

      Condition Proceed to
      Illumination comes on for all components except steering pad switch. A
      Illumination comes on for all components except multi-display. B
      No illumination comes on (radio receiver, multi-display, glove box light, clock, cigarette lighter, etc.) C
      Illumination comes on only for glove box lighter, console light, and steering pad switch. D

    B: Go to step  6

    C:  GO TO LIGHTING SYSTEM

    D: GO TO COMBINATION METER SYSTEM 

    A: Go to Next Step 

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (BATTERY - SPIRAL CABLE) 
    1. Disconnect the spiral cable connector.
    2. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard voltage

    2. Connect the positive (+) lead to terminal IL+2 and the negative (-) lead to terminal EAU of the steering pad switch assembly connector.
    3. Check if the illumination for the steering pad switch assembly comes on.

      OK: Illumination for the steering pad switch assembly comes on. 

    NG: REPLACE STEERING PAD SWITCH ASSEMBLY 

    OK: Go to Next Step 

  4. INSPECT SPIRAL CABLE 
    1. Disconnect the steering pad switch assembly and spiral cable connectors.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

      Tester Connection Spiral Cable Position Specified Condition
      EAU - EAU Center Below 1 Ω
      2.5 rotations to the left
      2.5 rotations to the right
      IL+2 - IL+2 Center Below 1 Ω
      2.5 rotations to the left
      2.5 rotations to the right
      NOTE: The spiral cable is an important part of the SRS airbag system. Incorrect removal or installation of the spiral cable may cause airbag deployment. Be sure to read the page shown in the brackets.
