2. DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION (PIONEER made)
Error codes over tuner and connected equipment are displayed on the screen of tuner.
(a) Diagnosis start±up
For shifting to diagnosis mode, push ºCDº switch 3 times with pressing º1º and º6º of PRESET switch
at the same time while the audio power is OFF and ACC is ON.
To exit from diagnosis mode, press ºCDº switch for 2 seconds or turn the ignition key OFF.
(When º1±190º is displayed, the mode is transferred to LAN check mode.)
(b) LAN check
When starting up the diagnosis mode, the mode turns to LAN check mode, the screen displays the
code numbers (physical address) of tuner and connected equipment. Smaller codes are displayed in
order, displayed code numbers are switched by operating TUNE ºUPº or ºDOWNº switch. In LAN check
mode, by pressing º5º of PRESET switch for more than 2 secs., diagnosis memory of each equipment
can be deleted, when deletion is completed, the mode returns to LAN check mode.

(c) System check
When pressing º1º of PRESET switch in LAN check mode, the mode turns to the system check
mode, the system performs self diagnosis of connected equipment and displays the re-
sults.(ºSYSº (showing the system is under detection) is displayed.)
Perform the operation shown in the following illustration, then read the result of the inspection.

HINT:
It sometimes takes approx. 40 secs. till the system inspection is completed.
The chart below is an example of when diagnosis code º21º appears on the physical address (190)
equipment. (ROM error occurs on the radio receiver.)
The smaller code numbers (physical address) are displayed in order (code No., diagnosis code, sup-
port code of diagnosis code (object equipment)).
When no error is detected in the system, º00º is displayed.
When an error code is detected, up to 6 codes per one system are displayed. Pressing TUNE ºUPº
or ºDOWNº switches the display.
In the system check mode, when pressing º6º of PRESET switch the mode returns to LAN check mode.
(d) Diagnosis memory
(1) In LAN check mode, when pressing º2º of PRESET switch the mode turns to the diagnosis
memory mode. (ºCODEº is displayed.)
The results of self diagnosis performed over tuner and connected equipment are memorized and
displayed.
(2) Perform the operation shown in the following illustration, then read the result of the inspection.
HINT:
The smaller code numbers (physical address) are displayed in order (code No. , periodic communica-
tion number when error occurs, diagnosis code, and support code of diagnosis code (object equip-
ment)).
When no error is detected in the system, º00º is displayed. When an error code is detected, up to 6
codes per one system are displayed. Pressing TUNE ºUPº or ºDOWNº switches the display. Each diag-
nosis code is same as code in the system check mode.
When pressing º6º of PRESET switch, the mode returns to LAN check mode.
The following illustration below is an example of when diagnosis code ºD1º appears on the code (190)
and (240 or 360) equipment. (Communication error occurs between the radio receiver and CD chang-
er.)

TROUBLESHOOTING
NOTICE:
When replacing the internal mechanism (computer part) of the audio system, be careful that no part
of your body or clothing comes in contact with the terminals of the leads from the IC, etc. of the re-
placement part (spare part).
HINT:
This inspection procedure is a simple troubleshooting which should be carried out on the vehicle during sys-
tem operation and was prepared on the assumption of system component troubles (except for the wires and
connectors, etc.).
Always inspect the trouble taking the following items into consideration.

2. SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION AND DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHECK
The diagnostic system in the LEXUS GS400/GS300 fulfills various functions. The first function is the Diag-
nostic Trouble Code Check in which a malfunction in the signal circuits to the ECU is stored in code in the
ECU memory at the time of occurrence, to be output by the technician during troubleshooting. Another func-
tion is the Input Signal Check which checks if the signals from various switches are sent to the ECU correctly.
By using these check functions, the problem areas can be narrowed down quickly and troubleshooting can
be performed effectively. Diagnostic functions are incorporated in the following systems in the LEXUS
GS400/GS300.

In diagnostic trouble code check, it is very important to determine whether the problem indicated by the diag-
nostic trouble code is still occurring or occurred in the past but returned to normal at present. In addition,
it must be checked in the problem symptom check whether the malfunction indicated by the diagnostic
trouble code is directly related to the problem symptom or not. For this reason, the diagnostic trouble codes
should be checked before and after the symptom confirmation to determine the current conditions, as shown
in the table below. If this is not done, it may, depending on the case, result in unnecessary troubleshooting
for normally operating systems, thus making it more difficult to locate the problem, or in repairs not pertinent
to the problem. Therefore, always follow the procedure in correct order and perform the diagnostic trouble
code check.
