Locations of ECUs (Cont'd)
Many ECUs are mounted in this vehicle.
Take the following precautions during body repair to prevent damage to th\
e ECUs.


Before starting electric welding operations, disconnect the negative (-\
) terminal cable from the battery.
When the negative (-) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, memory of the clock and audio
systems will be cancelled. So before starting work, make a record of the\
contents memorized by each
memory system. Then when work is finished, reset the clock and audio sys\
tems as before.
When the vehicle has tilt and telescopic steering, power seat and outsid\
e rear view mirror, which are all
equipped with memory function, it is not possible to make a record of th\
e memory contents.
So when the operation is finished, it will be necessary to explain this \
fact to the customer, and request
the customer to adjust the features and reset the memory.

Do not expose the ECUs to ambient temperatures above 80 °C (176 °F).
NOTICE: If it is possible the ambient temperature may reach 80°C (176°F) or, more, remove the ECUs
from the vehicle before starting work.

Be careful not to drop the ECUs and not to apply physical shocks to them\
.
5. COMPONENTS ADJACENT TO THE BODY PANELS
Various types of component parts are mounted directly on or adjacently to\
the body panels.
Strictly observe the following precautions to prevent damaging these com\
ponents and the body panels
during handling.

Before repairing the body panels, remove their adjacent components or ap\
ply protective covers over
the components.

Before prying components off using a screwdriver or a scraper, etc., attach protective tape to the tool
tip or blade to prevent damaging the components and the body paint.

Before removing components from the outer surface of the body, attach protective tape to the body to
ensure no damage to painted areas.
HINT: Apply touch-up paint to any damaged paint surfaces.

Before drilling or cutting sections, make sure that there are no wires, \
hoses, etc., on the reverse side.

tion properly.
9. HORN Check that it is working.
10. WINDSHIELD GLASS
Check for scratches, pits or abrasions.
11. WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHER
(a) Check operation of the wipers and washer.
(b) Check that the wipers do not streak.
12. WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER Check that the air comes out from the defroster
outlet when operating the heater air condition-
er at defroster mode.
13. REAR VIEW MIRROR
Check that it is mounted securely.
14. SUN VISORS Check that they move freely and are mounted
securely.
15. STEERING WHEEL Check that it has the specified freeplay. Be
alert for changes in steering condition, such as
hard steering, excessive freeplay or strange
noise.
16. SEATS
(a) Check that all front seat controls such as seat adjusters, seatback recliner, etc. operate
smoothly.
(b) Check that all latches lock securely in any position.
(c) Check that the locks hold securely in any latched position.
(d) Check that the head restraints move up and
down smoothly and that the locks hold securely
in ay latches position.
(e) For folding±down rear seat backs, check that the latches lock securely.
17. SEAT BELTS
(a) Ch e ck th a t th e se a t be lt syste m su ch as buckles, retractors and anchors operate
properly and smoothly.
(b) Check that the belt webbing is not cut, frayed,
worn or damaged.
18. ACCELERATOR PEDAL Check the pedal for smooth operation and un-
even pedal effort or catching.

(d) Place the voltmeter positive (+) lead against the defoggerpositive (+) terminal.
(e) Place the voltmeter negative (±) lead with the foil strip against
the heat wire at the positive (+) terminal end and slide it
toward the negative (±) terminal end.
(f) The point where the voltmeter deflects from zero to several volts is the place where the heat wire is broken.
HINT: IF the heat wire is not broken, the voltmeter indicates 0 volts
at the positive (+) end of the heat wire but gradually increases to
about 12 volts as the meter probe is moved to the other end.
2. REPAIR DEFOGGER WIRES (a) Clean the broken wire tips with a grease, wax andsilicone remover.
(b) Place the masking tape along both sides of the wire to be repaired.
(c) Thoroughly mix the repair agent (Dupont paste No. 4817).
(d) Using a fine tip brush, apply a small amount to the wire.
(e) After a few minutes, remove the masking tape.
(f) Allow the repair to stand at least 24 hours.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The LEXUS SC400/300 is equipped with an SRS (Supplemental Restraint System\
) such as the driver
airbag and front passenger airbag. Failure to carry out service operations in \
the correct sequence
could cause the SRS to unexpectedly deployed during servicing, possibly leadin\
g to a serious acci-
dent. Further, if a mistake is made in servicing the supplemental restraint system, i\
t is possible the
SRS may fail to operate when required. Before performing servicing (inc\
luding removal or installa-
tion of parts, inspection or replacement), be sure to read the followin\
g items carefully, then follow
the correct procedure described in the repair manual.
1. Malfunction symptoms of the supplemental restraint system are difficult to confirm, so the diagnostic trouble codes become the most important source of information when troubleshooting. When
troubleshooting the supplemental restraint system, always inspect the diagnostic trouble codes before
disconnecting the battery (See page RS±59).
2. Work must be started after 90 seconds from the time the ignition switch turn\
ed to the LOCK position
and the negative (±) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery. (The supplemental restraint
system is equipped with a back±up power source so that if work is sta\
rted within 90 seconds of
disconnecting the negative (±) terminal cable of the battery, the SRS may be deployed.)
When the negative (±) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, memory of the clock and audio sys-
tems will be canceled. So before starting work, make a record of the contents memo\
rized by the audio
memory system. When work is finished, reset the audio systems as before and ad\
just the clock. When the
vehicle has power tilt and power telescopic steering, power seat, power outside rear view mirror and power
shoulder belt anchorage, which are all equipped with memory function, it is not \
possible to make a record
of the memory contents. So when the work is finished, it will be necessary\
to explain this fact to the custom-
er, and ask the customer to adjust the features and reset the memory.
To avoid erasing the memory of each memory system, never use a back±up\
power supply from outside
the vehicle.
3. Even in cases of a minor collision where the SRS does not deploy, the steering wheel pad, front passenger
airbag assembly, front airbag sensors and center airbag sensor assembly should be inspe\
cted (See pages
RS±16 , 28 , 41 and 44).
4. Never use SRS parts from another vehicle. When replacing parts, replace \
them with new parts.
5. Before repairs, remove the airbag sensor if shocks are likely to be applied to the sensors during r\
epairs.
6. Never disassemble and repair the steering wheel pad, front passenger airbag a\
ssembly, front airbag sensors or center airbag sensor assembly in order to reuse it.
7. If the steering wheel pad, front passenger airbag assembly, front airbag sensors or center airbag sensor assembly have been dropped, or if there are cracks, dents or dents or ot\
her defects in the case, bracket
or connector, replace them with new ones.
8. Do not expose the steering wheel pad, front passenger airbag assembly, front airbag sensors and center airbag sensor assembly directly to hot air or flames.
9. Use a volt/ohmmeter with high impedance (10 k
/V minimum) of troubleshooting of the system's electrical
circuit.
10. Information labels are attached to the periphery of the SRS components. \
Follow the instructions on the
notices.
11. After work on the supplemental restraint system is completed, perform the SRS\
warning light check (See page RS±59 ).
12. If the vehicle is equipped with a mobile communication system, refer to \
the precaution in the IN section. RS±2
