1991 LEXUS SC400 fog light

[2] HEAT METHOD: When the problem seems to occur when the suspect area is heated.
Heat the component that is the likely cause of the malfunc-
tion with a hair dryer or similar object. Check to see if the
malfunction occurs.
NOTICE:
(1) Do not heat to more than 60°C (140 °F).
(Temperature limit that no damage is done to the
component).
(2) Do not apply heat directly to parts in the ECU.
[3] WATER SPRINKLING METHOD: When the malfunction seems to occur on a
rainy\
day or in a high±humidity condition.
Sprinkle w ater onto the vehicle and check to see if the mal-
function occurs.
NOTICE:
(1) Never sprinkle water directly into the engine compartment, but indirectly change the tempera-
ture and humidity by applying water spray onto
the radiator front surface.
(2) Never apply water directly onto the electronic components.
(Service hint)
If a vehicle is subject to water leakage, the leaked water
may contaminate the ECU. When testing a vehicle with a
water leakage problem, special caution must be used.
[4] OTHER: When the malfunction seems to occur when electrical load is excessive.
Turn on all electrical loads including the heater blower,
head lights, rear window defogger, etc. and check to see
if the malfunction occurs.

(1) Turn ignition switch LOCK.
(2) Disconnect center airbag sensor assemblyconnector.
(3) Turn ignition switch ON. But do not start engine.
(4) Measure voltage at IG
2 or ACC on connector
wire harness side of center airbag assembly and
operate electric system (defogger, wiper,
headlight, heater, blower, etc.).
Voltage: 6 V ± 11.5 V at IG
2 and ACC.
(5) Turn electric system switch OFF.
(6) Turn ignition switch LOCK.
(7) Remove voltmeter and connect center airbag sensor assembly.
Does airbag warning light turn off after approx. 10 seconds?
Preparation.
Turn ignition switch ON.
Operate electric system checked in [ 1 ] (4) and
check that airbag warning light goes off after
approx. 10 seconds.
Check diagnostic code, and if a malfunction
code is output, perform troubleshooting
according to malfunction code. If a normal
code is output, replace center airbag
sensor assembly.
Check battery and charging system

NOTICE:
w VWhen cleaning the glass, use a soft, dry cloth, and wipe
the glass in the direction of the wire. Take care not to
damage the wires.
w VDo not use detergents or glass cleaners with abrasive
ingredients.
w VWhen measuring voltage, wind a piece of tin foil around
the top of the negative probe and press the foil against
the wire with your finger as shown.
(a) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(b) Turn the defogger switch ON.
(c) Inspect the voltage at the center of each heat wire as
shown.

Approx. 10 V or 0 VBroken wire
HINT: If there is approximately 10 volts, the wire is broken be-
tween the center of the wire and the positive (+) end. If there
is no voltage, the wire is broken between the center of the
wire and ground.

DEFOGGER SYSTEM
Description
The component parts of this system and their functions are described in the\
following table.
 Parts Name\
 \
Function
 Defogger\
 \
When over current flows in the defogger circuit, the Defogger fuse break\
s the circuit to pro-
tect it against damage.
 


Defogger Relay\
 
\

\

This relay is supplied with current from terminal IG1 of ignition switch\
(Ignition switch
ON) and switches large current from the defogger.
 


A/C Control Panel
Assembly

Defogger Switch\
 
\

\

The defogger switch is built into the A/C Control Panel Assembly. This switch is
supplied with current from the relay and fuse HTR. Grounds current from \
the defogger
relay, turning the defogger relay ON.
 




Defogger

Rear Window
 Outer Mirror\
 
\


\

\

These defoggers generate heat when current is supplied from the defogger\
relay.
