REVISION NOTICE:
April 1, 2005: 2004 ± 2005 model year ES 330 vehicles have been added to
Applicable Vehicles. Introduction and Note have been updated on page 1.
Calibration Identification Chart has been updated to include ES 330 calibration IDs.
August 6, 2003: There has been a change in Warranty Time.
Previous versions of this TSIB should be discarded.
To improve the transmission shift feeling during specific operating modes, the Engine
Control Module (SAE term: Powertrain Control Module/PCM) calibration has been
revised. These improvements include:
Reduced downshift lag when accelerating at speeds from 10 to 20 mph.
Less gear hunting when driving on/off accelerator pedal at 20 to 30 mph
(for example: during heavy rush±hour traffic).
Improved response rate during heavy acceleration from a stop.
NOTE:
Version 12.01a or later Diagnostic Tester software is required to perform
this procedure.
Before proceeding, verify the ECM (PCM) calibration has NOT been updated by
checking for the Authorized Modifications Label (shown in step 1 of the
Repair Procedure).
Harsh ATM shifting may result if any Repair Procedure steps are omitted
(specifically steps 2 and 4 of ªFlash Reprogram ECMº on page 6).
2002 ± 2003 model year ES 300 vehicles.
2004 ± 2005 model year ES 330 vehicles.

2. Connect the Diagnostic Tester to the vehicle and select CURRENT ECU CAL from
the ECU REPROGRAM MAIN MENU. Determine the vehicle's current ECU
calibration (see Figure 2).

NOTE:
If Calibration ID matches ªPrevious Calibration IDº as shown in Calibration
Identification Chart on page 3, proceed with flash reprogramming.
If Calibration ID matches ªNew Calibration IDº as shown in Calibration Identification
Chart, this vehicle has already been programmed. Refer to TIS for diagnostic
procedures applicable to any stored DTCs.
3. If ECU calibration ID is not the same as the ªNew Calibration IDº listed previously,
proceed to Flash Reprogram ECM (PCM).
4. Flash Reprogram ECM (PCM)
Follow the procedures outlined in Lexus TSIB No. SS001±01,
ªECU Flash
Reprogramming Process,º
and flash the ECM (PCM) with the new calibration
file update.
NOTE:
If the ªCheck Engineº light is ON when the ignition is turned back on to begin the
reprogramming process, a scan tool cable problem exists. Refer to TSIB No.

5.Reset the ECM (PCM) learned values using the diagnostic tester. Refer to the
procedures below.

differ from subsequent software versions.
NOTE:
Failure to reset the ECM (PCM) memory will result in continued ATM shifting complaints.

(PCM) Replacement and/or DTC P0630,º
and write the VIN to the ECM (PCM).
7. Start the engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature before test±driving.
8. Test drive vehicle to confirm proper vehicle operation.
9. Enter the required information on the Authorized Modifications Label and affix it to the
vehicle at the location shown in Figure 1 (page 4). The Authorized Modifications
Label is available through the MDC, P/N 00451±00001±LBL.
10. Calibration update is complete.
NOTE:
Select premium unleaded gasoline with an Octane Rating of 91 (Research Octane
Number 96) or higher for optimum engine performance.
The effect of the new calibration may become more apparent after several days
of driving as the ECM (PCM) ºlearned valuesº are re±established from the
customer 's driving. Repair
