Lexus SC300 / Lexus SC400. Manual — part 883

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION (Cont’d)

DIAGNOSIS CODE DETECTION DRIVING PATTERN

Purpose of the driving pattern.
(a) To simulate diag. code detecting condition after diag. code is recorded.
(b) To check that the malfunction is corrected when the repair is completed confirming that diag. code is no

longer detected.

Initiate test mode (See page

TR–12

).

Start engine and warm up.

After engine is warmed up, let it idle for 3 min.

With the A/C ON and transmission in D range (O/D OFF), drive at 40–70 mph for 4 min.

HINT:

If a malfunction exists, the ”CHECK” engine warning light will light up at 1–4 min. of driving at
40–70 mph (64–112 km/h).

NOTICE:

If the conditions in this test are not strictly followed, detection of the malfunction will
not be possible.

Malfunction: Open in EGR gas temp. sensor circuit
