3. INSPECT IDLE±UP SPEED
(a) Warm up engine
(b) Inspect idle±up speed when the these conditions are es-
tablished.
Test conditions:

Blower speed control switch at ºHIº position

Temperature control dial at ºCOOLº position

A/C switch ON

Put gear shift in neutral
GS300:
Magnetic clutch conditionIdle±up speed
Magnetic clutch not engaged700 ± 50 rpm
Magnetic clutch engaged800 ± 50 rpm
If idle speed is not as specified, check the idle control system.
GS400:
Magnetic clutch conditionIdle±up speed
Magnetic clutch not engaged750 ± 50 rpm
Magnetic clutch engaged800 ± 50 rpm
If idle speed is not as specified, check the idle control system.
4. INSPECT FOR LEAKAGE OF REFRIGERANT
(a) Perform in these conditions.

Stop engine

Secure good ventilation (If the gas leak detector
may not react volatile gases which are not refriger-
ant, such as evaporated gasoline and exhaust gas)

Repeat the test 2 or 3 times

Make sure that there is some refrigerant remaining
in the refrigeration system.
When compressor is OFF: approx. 392 ± 588 kPa
(4 ± 6 kgf´cm
2, 57 ± 85 psi)
(b) Bring the gas leak detector close to the drain hose before
performing the test.
HINT:

After the blower motor has stopped, leave the cooling for
more than 15 minutes.

Expose the gas leak detector sensor under the drain
hose.

When bring the gas leak detector close to the drain hose,
make sure that the gas leak detector does not react to the
volatile gases.
If such reaction is unavoidable, the vehicle must be lifted up.
(c) If gas leak is not detected on the drain hose, remove the
blower resistor from the cooling unit. Then insert the gas
leak detector sensor into the unit and perform the test.
(d) Disconnect the connector and leave the pressure switch
for approx. 20 minutes. Then bring the gas leak detector
close to the pressure switch and perform the test.
(e) Bring the gas leak detector close to the refrigerant lines.

BRAKE FLUID
BLEEDING
HINT:

If any work is done on the brake system or if air in the
brake lines is suspected, bleed the air from the system.

When bleeding, keep the amount of the fluid within the
line of reservoir between Min. and Max.
NOTICE:

Do not let brake fluid remain on painted surfaces.
Wash it off immediately.

With the reservoir cap removed, when depressing the
brake pedal, the fluid will spray.
1. FILL RESERVOIR WITH BRAKE FLUID
Fluid: SAE J1703 or FMVSS NO. 116 DOT3
2. IN CASE OF USING LEXUS HAND±HELD TESTER:
BLEED HYDRAULIC BRAKE BOOSTER
HINT:
If the hydraulic brake booster has been disassembled, discon-
nect the brake line from the hydraulic brake booster or if the res-
ervoir becomes empty, bleed the hydraulic brake booster.
(a) Turn the ignition switch OFF, depress the brake pedal
more than 40 times.
HINT:
When a pressure in power supply system is released, reaction
force becomes heavy and stroke becomes shorter.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the pump stops af-
ter approx. 30 to 40 seconds.
NOTICE:
When the pump does not stop, repeat step (a) and (b) again.
(c) With the ignition switch remained ON, depress the brake
pedal more than 20 times.
(d) Observe the procedure in step 4 and bleed the right and
left front brake caliper.
(e) Holding the brake pedal depressed, bleed the right and
left rear brake caliper.
HINT:
It is not necessary to depress the pedal continuously, as brake
fluid flows out by first depressing.
(f) Connect LEXUS hand±held tester.
(1) Turn the ignition switch OFF, connect the LEXUS
hand±held tester to DLC3.
(2) Turn the ignition switch ON, and select ºAIR
BLEEDINGº on the LEXUS hand±held tester.
HINT:
Please refer to the LEXUS hand±held tester operator's manual
for further details.

(l) Observe the procedure in step (k) and bleed left rear
brake line.
(m) Disconnect the actuator checker (SST) and sub±wire har-
ness (SST) from the actuator.
SST 09990±00150, 09990±00480
(n) Connect the 2 connectors to the hydraulic brake booster.
(o) Clear the DTC (See page DI±389).
4. BLEED BRAKE LINE
(a) Connect the vinyl tube to the brake caliper.
(b) Depress the brake pedal several times, then loosen the
bleeder plug with the pedal held down.
(c) At the point when fluid stops coming out, tighten the
bleeder plug, then release the brake pedal.
(d) Repeat (b) and (c) until all the air in the fluid has been bled
out.
(e) Repeat the above procedure to bleed the brake line for
each wheel.
Torque: 11 N´m (110 kgf´cm, 8 ft´lbf)
5. CHECK FLUID LEVEL IN RESERVOIR
(a) With the ignition switch OFF, depress the brake pedal
more than 40 times.
HINT:
When a pressure in power supply system is released, reaction
force becomes heavy and stroke becomes shorter.
(b) Remove the reservoir cap. Add brake fluid up to the
ºMAXº line.
Fluid: SAE J1703 or FMVSS NO. 116 DOT3
