A. Measure the sensor resistance according to the selected graph (specification).
NOTE:
Even slightly touching the sensor may change the resistance value.
Be sure to hold the connector of the sensor.
When measuring, the sensor temperature must be the same as the
ambient temperature.
HINT:
As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases.

6. Inspect Room Humidity Sensor.
Measure the humidity and output
voltage of the humidity sensor when
the sensor is installed on the vehicle
and the temperature at the humidity
sensor position (room temperature
sensor position) is 775F (255C).
If the output voltage is within the
specifications according to the graph
and table below, the sensor is normal.
HINT:
For the inspection procedure of the
room temperature sensor, refer to
ªRoom Temperature Sensor Inspection
Procedureº in this bulletin.
A. Turn the ignition switch to the
ON position.
B. Measure the voltage between
terminal VO (3) and GND (2) of
the room humidity sensor.
C. Measure the humidity and voltage
when the room temperature
(humidity sensor position) is 775F
(255C). According to the result,
determine whether the sensor is
normal or not.

Information Bulletin

The following procedures are recommended to maintain windshield wiper
blade performance.
1998 ± 2006 model year Lexus vehicles.
OP CODEDESCRIPTIONTIMEOFPT1T2
N/ANot Applicable to Warranty±±±±
Recommendations for Windshield Wiper Maintenance, Cleaning, and Use:
1. Scheduled Maintenance
Check wiper rubber blades every 4 ± 6 months or 7,500 miles for wear, cracking,
and contamination.
Clean glass and rubber wiper blades if blades are not clearing glass adequately.
If this does not correct the problem, then replace the rubber elements.
2. Cleaning Procedure
Wiper Rubber: Bugs, dirt, sap, and road grime on blades will cause streaking.
Clean wiper rubber of road and environmental debris using cloth or paper towel
soaked with windshield washer fluid or mild detergent.
DO NOT USE fuel, kerosene, or petroleum based products to clean rubber
wiper blades.
Windshield: Bugs, sap, road grime, and car wash wax treatments decrease
wiper performance.
Rinse windshield with water and apply non±abrasive cleaner, such as Bon±Ami
(www.faultless.com), with a sponge.
NOTE:
Make sure to use plenty of water with all powder based cleaners so the glass is
not scratched.

3. Contributors to Poor Performance/Decreased Rubber Blade Life (require
rubber replacement)
Dusty areas cause the rubber edge to wear quickly.
Sand and salt used for road conditioning during winter causes the edge to
wear quickly, so areas with significant snowfall require more frequent
wiper replacement.
Heat and time cause the rubber to become excessively ªpermanent set,º so
the rubber does not turn over, resulting in streaking and/or unwiped areas on
the glass.
Rubber is easily cut or torn while using ice scrapers on the glass.
Rubber can be torn when pulling blades off a frozen windshield.
Using wipers instead of an ice scraper to remove frost and ice from the windshield
during a car warm up can dull, nick, or tear the rubber.
Banging wiper on the glass to remove ice & snow can cause the blade to bend
and rubber to come out of the blade providing the potential to scratch the glass.
Ice forms in wiper blade pin joints, which causes streaking and unwiped areas.
To remove ice from pin joints, compress the blade and rubber with your hand to
loosen the frozen joints. To prevent this condition, use winter blades with a
rubber cover.Maintenance,
