Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Lexus LS 600hL. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: 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 PRECAUTION in the SRS (see PRECAUTION ).
  1. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (RADIO RECEIVER - SPIRAL CABLE) 
    1. Disconnect the L52 receiver connector.
    2. Disconnect the L24 cable connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance

    1. Disconnect the z7 and L24 cable connectors.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      L24-10 (EAU) - z7-3 (EAU) Spiral cable is turned 2.5 rotations counterclockwise Below 3 Ω
      Spiral cable is centered
      Spiral cable is turned 2.5 rotations clockwise
      L24-11 (AU2) - z7-4 (AU2) Spiral cable is turned 2.5 rotations counterclockwise Below 3 Ω
      Spiral cable is centered
      Spiral cable is turned 2.5 rotations clockwise
      L24-5 (AU1) - z7-9 (AU1) Spiral cable is turned 2.5 rotations counterclockwise Below 3 Ω
      Spiral cable is centered
      Spiral cable is turned 2.5 rotations clockwise
      NOTE: The spiral cable is an important part of the SRS airbag system. Incorrect removal or installation of the spiral cable may prevent the airbag from deploying. Be sure to read the PRECAUTION for the SRS (see PRECAUTION ).

    NG: REPLACE SPIRAL CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY  (See REMOVAL ).

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. INSPECT STEERING PAD SWITCH ASSEMBLY 
    1. Disconnect the z7 switch connector.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance
