DESCRIPTION
1. OUTLINE OF AVC±LAN
(a) What is AVC±LAN?
AVC±LAN is the abbreviation, which stands for Audio Visual Communication±Local Area Network.
This is a unified standard co±developed by 6 audio manufactures associated with Toyota Motor Corpo-
ration.
The Unified standard covers signals, such as audio signal, visual signal, signal for switch indication
and communication signal.
(b) Objectives
Recently the car audio system has been rapidly developed and functions have been changed drasti-
cally. The conventional system has been switched to the multi±media type such as a navigation sys-
tem. At the same time the level of customers needs to audio system has been upgraded. This lies be-
hind this standardization.
The concrete objectives are explained below.
(1) When products by different manufactures were combined together, there used to be a case that
malfunction occurred such as sound did not come out. This problem has been resolved by stan-
dardization of signals.
(2) Various types of after market products have been able to add or replace freely.
(3) Because of the above (2), each manufacture has become able to concentrate on developing
products in their strongest field. This has enabled many types of products provided inexpensive-
ly.
(4) Conventionally, a new product developed by a manufacture could not be used due to a lack of
compatibility with other manufactures products. Because of this new standard, users can enjoy
compatible products provided for them timely.
The above descriptions are the objectives to introduce AVC±LAN. By this standardization, development of
new products will no longer cause systematic errors. Thus, this is very effective standard for a product in the
future.
HINT:
When +B short or GND short is detected in AVC±LAN circuit, communication stops. Accordingly the
audio system does not function normally.
When audio system is not equipped with a navigation system, audio head unit is the master unit. (When
audio system is equipped with a navigation system, navigation ECU is the master unit.)
The car audio system using AVC±LAN circuit has a diagnosis function.
Each product has its own specified numbers called physical address. Numbers are also allotted to
each function in one product, which are called logical address.

HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT ECU CONTROLLED SYSTEMS
GENERAL INFORMATION
A large number of ECU controlled systems are used in the LEXUS GS400/GS300. In general, the ECU con-
trolled system is considered to be a very intricate system requiring a high level of technical knowledge and
expert skill to troubleshoot. However, the fact is that if you proceed to inspect the circuits one by one, trouble-
shooting of these systems is not complex. If you have adequate understanding of the system and a basic
knowledge of electricity, accurate diagnosis and necessary repair can be performed to locate and fix the
problem. This manual is designed through emphasis of the above standpoint to help service technicians
perform accurate and effective troubleshooting, and is compiled for the following major ECU controlled sys-
tems:
The troubleshooting procedure and how to make use of it are described on the following pages.

FOR USING OBDII SCAN TOOL OR LEXUS HAND±HELD TESTER

Before using the scan tool or tester, the scan tool's instruction book or tester's operator manual should
be read thoroughly.

If the scan tool or tester cannot communicate with ECU controlled systems when you have connected
the cable of the scan tool or tester to DLC3, turned the ignition switch ON and operated the scan tool,
there is a problem on the vehicle side or tool side.
(1) If communication is normal when the tool is connected to another vehicle, inspect the diagnosis
data link line (Bus
line) or ECU power circuit of the vehicle.
(2) If communication is still not possible when the tool is connected to another vehicle, the problem
is probably in the tool itself, so perform the Self Test procedures outline in the Tester Operator's
Manual.

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.
