Neutral Start Switch Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The neutral start switch goes on when the shift lever is in the N or P shif\
t position. When it goes on the terminal
NSW of the ECU is grounded to body ground via the starter relay and theft deterrent ECU\
, thus the terminal
NSW voltage becomes 0V. When the shift lever is in the D, 2, L or R position, the neutral start\
switch goes off,
so the voltage of ECU terminal NSW becomes battery voltage, the voltage of the ECU internal power source.
If the shift lever is moved from the N range to the D range, this signal\
is used for air±fuel ratio correction and
for idle speed control (estimated control), etc.
When the neutral start switch is off, code º51º is output in the test mode diagnosis. (This is not a\
bnormal.)
DIAGNOSTIC CHARTDIAGNOSTIC CHART
HINT: This diagnosis chart is based on premise that the engine is cranked norm\
ally. If the engine is notcranked, proceed to the matrix chart of problem symptoms on page TR±35.
Check output condition of diag. code 51.
Proceed to next circuit inspection shown
on matrix chart (See page TR±35).
Check for open in harness and connector
between neutral start switch and ECU.
Repair or replace harness or connector.
Check and replace ECU.
Check and replace ECU.
Replace neutral start switch.Check neutral start switch (See page

TSIB
IntroductionA musty odor may be emitted from the air conditioning system of some vehicles which are
usually operated in areas with high temperature and humidity. It is most noticeable when
the air conditioner is first turned ªONº after the vehicle has bee\
n parked for several hours.
The odor could result from one or more of the following conditions:
1. Blockage of the evaporator housing drain pipe, resulting in the build up of cond\
ensation.
2. Microbial growth in the evaporator, arising from dampness in the evaporator housing
where the cooling air flow is dehumidified.
To address excessive air conditioning evaporator odor, check the evaporator housing drain
pipe for blockage. If no problems are found, the evaporator and housing\
should be cleaned
and disinfected using the general procedure given on page 2, and the model \
specific
procedure on the pages indicated in the Table of Contents at the bottom of this page.
Affected While this procedure may be used on any Lexus vehicle, this bulletin giv\
es details
Vehicles specifically for the '92±'96 ES 300, all GS 300, '93±'94 LS 400, all SC 300/400 and the\
