2. FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A CATALYTIC CONVERTER
CAUTION:
If large amount of unburned gasoline flows into the converter, it may overheat and create a fire haz-
ard. To prevent this, observe the following precautions and explain them to your customer.
(a) Use only unleaded gasoline.
(b) Avoid prolonged idling.
Avoid running the engine at idle speed for more than 20 minutes.
(c) Avoid spark jump test.
(1) Perform spark jump test only when absolutely necessary. Perform this test as rapidly as possible.
(2) While testing, never race the engine.
(d) Avoid prolonged engine compression measurement.
Engine compression tests must be done as rapidly as possible.
(e) Do not run engine when fuel tank is nearly empty.
This may cause the engine to misfire and create an extra load on the converter.
(f) Avoid coasting with ignition turned off.
(g) Do not dispose of used catalyst along with parts contaminated with gasoline or oil.
3. IF VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
For vehicles with mobile communication systems such as two±way radios and cellular telephones, observe
the following precautions.
(1) Install the antenna as far as possible away from the ECU and sensors of the vehicle's electronic
system.
(2) Install the antenna feeder at least 20 cm (7.87 in.) away from the ECU and sensors of the ve-
hicle's electronic systems. For details about ECU and sensors locations, refer to the section on
the applicable component.
(3) Avoid winding the antenna feeder together with other wiring as much as possible, and also avoid
running the antenna feeder parallel with other wire harnesses.
(4) Check that the antenna and feeder are correctly adjusted.
(5) Do not install powerful mobile communications system.
4. FOR USING OBD II SCAN TOOL OR LEXUS HAND±HELD TESTER
CAUTION:
Observe the following items for safety reasons:

Before using the OBD II scan tool or LEXUS hand±held tester, the OBD II scan tool's instruction
book or LEXUS hand±held tester's operator manual should be read thoroughly.

Be sure to route all cables securely when driving with the OBD II scan tool or LEXUS hand±held
tester connected to the vehicle. (i.e. Keep cables away from feet, pedals, steering wheel and
shift lever.)

Two persons are required when test driving with the OBD II scan tool or LEXUS hand±held tes-
ter, one person to drive the vehicle and the other person to operate the OBD II scan tool or LEX-
US hand±held tester.

wheels and driving the wheels, always push in the TRAC &
VSC cut switch and turn the TRAC & VSC system OFF.
(a) Press the VSC OFF switch.
(b) Check that the VSC OFF indicator light comes ON.
HINT:
The VSC OFF indicator light should be always OFF when the
engine is restarted.
(c) Begin measurements.
(d) Press the VSC OFF switch again to change the TRAC &
VSC system to operational condition and check that the
VSC OFF indicator light goes off.
HINT:
The SLIP indicator light blinks when the TRAC system is opera-
tional.
