1991 LEXUS SC400 check engine

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 co\
nfirming that diag. code isno longer detected.

Disconnect the EFI fuse (15 A) for 10 sec. or more, with IG switch OFF\
.
Initiate test mode (Connect terminal TE2 and E1 of check connector with\
IG switch
OFF).
Start the engine and warm up with all ACC switch OFF.
After the engine is warmed up, let it drive at 50 55 mph (80 88 km/h) for\
10 min. or
more.
After driving, stop at a safe place and perform idling for 2 min. or les\
s.
After performing the idling in , perform acceleration to 60 mph (96 km/h) with the
throttle valve fully open.
HINT: If a malfunction exists, the ºCHECKº engine warning light will lig\
ht up during step
.
NOTICE: If the conditions in this test are not strictly followed, detection of t\
he malfunction will not be possible.
Malfunction: Open or Short in Sub±Oxygen Sensor

Malfunction: Open or Short in Sub±Oxygen Sensor

Initiate test mode (See page TR±12).
Start engine and warm up.
After engine is warmed up, let it idle for 3 min.
With the A/C ON and the transmission in D range (O/D OFF), drive at 40 ±\
60 mph (64±96
km/h) for 6 min.
After the driving in , stop the vehicle.
Once the vehicle is stopped, within the next minute apply acceleration w\
ith the throttle
fully open for 4 sec.
HINT: If a malfunction exists, the ºCHECKº engine warning light will light\
up after full acceleration for 4 sec.
NOTICE: If the conditions in this test are not strictly followed, detection of the\
