warning light LEXUS SC400 1991 Service Owners Manual

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 c\
onfirming that diag. code is nolonger detected.
Malfunction: Open or Short in Knock Sensor

Start engine and warm up.
After engine is warmed up, let it idle for 3 min.
With the A/C ON, perform quick racing (5,000 rpm) three times.
(Rapidly depress the accelerator pedal and suddenly release it.)
HINT: If a malfunction exists, the ºCHECKº engine warning light will lig\
ht up when sudden racing is performed.
NOTICE: If the conditions in this test are not strictly followed, detection of t\
he malfunction will
not be possible.

(2) Turn ignition switch OFF.
(2) Connect terminals TE2 and E1 and TDCL.
(2) Turn ignition switch ON.(For checking terminal A/C, start the engine.)
(2) Connect terminals TE1 and E1 of TDCL.
Check if code ª51º is output by the ªCHECKº engine
warning light.

TE1, TE2 Terminal Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Terminal TE1 is located in the check connector in the engine compartment and terminals T\
E1 and TE2 are lo-
cated in the TDCL in the cabin. When these terminals are connected with \
the E1 terminal, diagnostic codes in
normal mode or test mode can be read from the ºCHECKº engine warning lig\
ht on the combination meter.
DIAGNOSTIC CHARTDIAGNOSTIC CHART
HINT: If terminals TE1 and TE2 are connected with terminal E1, diagnostic code is not output or test mode isnot activated.
Even though terminal TE1 is not connected with terminal E1, the ºCHEC\
Kº engine warning light blinks.
For the above phenomenon, the likely cause is an open or short in the wire \
harness, or malfunction inside
the ECU.
Check continuity between terminal E1 and
body ground.
Repair or replace harness or
connector.Check for open and short in harness and
connector between check connector TDCL
and ECU.
Check voltage of terminals TE1, TE2.
Check and replace ECU.
Repair or replace harness or
connector.
Check and replace ECU.

SYSTEM CIRCUIT
OPERATION
When the ignition switch is turned ON, current from the battery flows from t\
erminal L of the alternator through
the IC regulator to terminal E, causing the discharge warning light to ligh\
t up. Then when the engine is started, the voltage output increases as the alt\
ernator rpm increases. When the
voltage output becomes greater than the battery voltage, current for recharging\
flows from terminal B. Simulta-
neously, volt age at terminal L increases and the potential difference between battery and terminal L disappears,
causing the discharge warning light to go off. When the voltage output exceeds the regulator adjustment volt-
age, the transistor inside the IC regulator regulates the voltage so tha\
t the voltage from the alternator remains
constant.

(b) Check the belt tensioner operation.w Check that the belt tensioner moves downward
when the drive belt is pressed down at the points
indicated in the illustration with approx. 98 N ( 10
kgf, 22.0 lbf) of force.
w Check the alignment of the belt tensioner pulley to
make sure the drive belt has not slipped off the
pulley.
If necessary, replace the belt tensioner.
w Check that the arrow mark on the belt tensioner falls
within area A of the scale.
If it is outside area A, replace the drive belt.
HINT:
w When a new belt is installed, it should lie within area B.
If not, the drive belt is not correct.
w After installing a belt, check that it fits properly in the
ribbed grooves.
w Check by hand to confirm that the belt has not slipped
out of the groove on the bottom of the pulley.
4. REMOVE ENGINE UNDER COVER
5. VISUALLY CHECK ALTERNATOR WIRING AND LISTEN FOR ABNORMAL NOISES
(a) Check that the wiring is in good condition.
(b) C h e c k t h a t t h e r e i s n o a bnormal noise from the
alternator while the engine is running.
6. INSPECT CHARGE WARNING LIGHT CIRCUIT (a) Warm up the engine and then turn it off.
(b) Turn off all accessories.
(c) Turn the ignition switch ON. Check that the charge
warning light is lit.
(d) Start the engine. Check that the light goes off.
If the light does not go off as specified, troubleshoot the
charge light circuit.

SRS Warning Light System (Always Lit Up, when ignition switch in
LOCK position)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The SRS warning light is located on the combination meter.
When the supplemental restraint system is normal, the SRS warning light ligh\
ts up for approx. 6 seconds after
the ignition switch is turned from LOCK position to ACC or ON position, and\
then turns off automatically.
If there is a malfunction in the supplemental restraint system, the SRS wa\
rning light lights up to inform the driver
of the abnormality.
When terminals Tc and E
1 of the DLC2 are connected, the diagnostic trouble code is displayed by \
the blinking
of the SRS warning light.
DIAGNOSTIC CHARTDIAGNOSTIC CHART
HINT: If the SRS warning light is always lit up by a DTC check procedure, per\
form Tc T erminal circuit check proce-
dure (See page RS±121).

Troubleshooting for this system is different depending on whether the diagnostic trouble code is not displayed\
SRS warning light is always lit up with a DTC check procedure, or is displa\
yed without a DTC check procedure.
Confirm the problem symptoms first before selecting the appropriate troubleshoo\
ting procedure.
