1991 LEXUS SC400 check engine

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION (Cont'd)
DIAGNOSIS TROUBLE CODE DETECTION DRIVING PATTERN
Purpose of the driving pattern.
(a) To simulate diag. trouble code detecting condition after diag. trouble co\
de is recorded.
(b) To check that the malfunction is corrected when the repair is completed co\
nfirming that diag. trouble codeis no longer detected.
Malfunction: Open in EGR gas temp. sensor circuit
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 or TDCL with\
IG
switch OFF).
Start the engine and warm up.
After the engine is warmed up, let it idle for 3 min.
With the A/C ON and transmission in 5th gear (ECT in 3rd speed) drive at 5\
5 ~ 60 mph
(88 ~ 96 km/h) for 4 min or less.
HINT: If a malfunction exists, the ºCHECKº engine warning light will l\
ight up during step .
NOTICE: If the conditions in this test are not strictly followed, detection of \
the malfunction will not be possible.
