Test Drive Confirmation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Lexus RX 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
If conditions in test drive confirmation procedure are not strictly followed, detection of malfunction will not be possible.
NOTE:
Because Lexus scan tool has CHECK mode feature, two-trip detection logic is disabled and problem can be isolated in one test drive. OBD-II scan tool does not have this feature. Therefore, two test drives are necessary to confirm repairs.
- Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC) No. 3. See Figure. If using Lexus scan tool, switch scan tool to CHECK mode. Go to next step.
- Start and warm engine to normal operating temperature with all accessories off. Drive vehicle for 3-5 minutes at 38-75 MPH, with engine speed at 1400-3200 RPM. If using Lexus scan tool and malfunction still exists, MIL will illuminate. If using OBD-II scan tool, repeat this step. If malfunction still exists, MIL will illuminate.
