ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. INSPECT BATTERY (MAINTENANCE- FREE BAT-
TERY)
(a) Check the battery electrolyte level.
(1) Check the electrolyte quantity of each cell.
If the electrolyte quantity is below the recommended amount,
replace the battery.
(b) Check the battery voltage.
(1) If it has been less than 20 minutes since you
stopped driving the vehicle or since the engine was
stopped, turn the ignition switch and electrical sys-
tems (headlight, blower motor, rear defogger etc.)
to the ON position for 60 seconds. This will remove
the surface charge on the battery.
(2) Turn the ignition switch and electrical systems OFF.
(3) Using a voltmeter, measure the battery voltage be-
tween the negative (-) and positive (+) terminals of
the battery.
Standard voltage: 12.5 to 12.9 V at 20C (68F)
If the voltage is less than the specification, charge the battery.
(c) Check the indicator as shown in the illustration.
HINT:

Blue: OK

White: Charging Necessary

Red: Insufficient Water
2. INSPECT BATTERY (EXCEPT MAINTENANCE-FREE
BATTERY)
(a) Check the battery electrolyte level.
(1) Check the electrolyte quantity of each cell.
If the electrolyte quantity is below the recommended amount,
add distilled water.

The following procedures are recommended to maintain windshield wiper
blade performance.
1998 ± 2006 model year Lexus vehicles.
OP CODEDESCRIPTIONTIMEOFPT1T2
N/ANot Applicable to Warranty±±±±
Recommendations for Windshield Wiper Maintenance, Cleaning, and Use:
1. Scheduled Maintenance
Check wiper rubber blades every 4 ± 6 months or 7,500 miles for wear, cracking,
and contamination.
Clean glass and rubber wiper blades if blades are not clearing glass adequately.
If this does not correct the problem, then replace the rubber elements.
2. Cleaning Procedure
Wiper Rubber: Bugs, dirt, sap, and road grime on blades will cause streaking.
Clean wiper rubber of road and environmental debris using cloth or paper towel
soaked with windshield washer fluid or mild detergent.
DO NOT USE fuel, kerosene, or petroleum based products to clean rubber
wiper blades.
Windshield: Bugs, sap, road grime, and car wash wax treatments decrease
wiper performance.
Rinse windshield with water and apply non±abrasive cleaner, such as Bon±Ami
(www.faultless.com), with a sponge.
NOTE:
Make sure to use plenty of water with all powder based cleaners so the glass is
not scratched.

3. Contributors to Poor Performance/Decreased Rubber Blade Life (require
rubber replacement)
Dusty areas cause the rubber edge to wear quickly.
Sand and salt used for road conditioning during winter causes the edge to
wear quickly, so areas with significant snowfall require more frequent
wiper replacement.
Heat and time cause the rubber to become excessively ªpermanent set,º so
the rubber does not turn over, resulting in streaking and/or unwiped areas on
the glass.
Rubber is easily cut or torn while using ice scrapers on the glass.
Rubber can be torn when pulling blades off a frozen windshield.
Using wipers instead of an ice scraper to remove frost and ice from the windshield
during a car warm up can dull, nick, or tear the rubber.
Banging wiper on the glass to remove ice & snow can cause the blade to bend
and rubber to come out of the blade providing the potential to scratch the glass.
Ice forms in wiper blade pin joints, which causes streaking and unwiped areas.
To remove ice from pin joints, compress the blade and rubber with your hand to
loosen the frozen joints. To prevent this condition, use winter blades with a
rubber cover.Maintenance,

TSIB REVISION NOTICE:
June 3, 2005: Content has been updated to include 2004 and 2006 model year
vehicles. Step 4 of the VIN Write Procedure (page 2) and step 3 of the VIN Read
Procedure (page 3) have been clarified to include RX 400h vehicles.
Previous versions of this TSB should be discarded.
All 2005 and subsequent model year Lexus vehicles have the VIN (Vehicle Identification
Number) stored in the Electronic Control Module (ECM) (SAE term: Powertrain Control
Module/PCM) non±volatile memory. The VIN is accessible on the data stream using the
Lexus Diagnostic Tester and can also be written to a new ECM (PCM) using a ªVIN
Read/Writeº utility.
Service ECMs (supply parts) are shipped without the VIN; therefore, as part of the ECM
(PCM) replacement procedure, the VIN must be written to the replacement ECM (PCM)
using the Diagnostic Tester utility function. Failure to write the VIN to the ECM (PCM) will
result in a M.I.L. ªONº condition and set DTC P0630: VIN Not Programmed or Mismatch ±
ECM (PCM).
It is very important to remember to enter the VIN on these vehicles. Vehicles with missing
VINs are subject to failing some state and local vehicle emissions Inspection and
Maintenance programs.
NOTE:
2004 model year vehicles which have been flash reprogrammed may contain updated
2005 model year OBD II logic. These vehicles will require VIN entry into the ECM (PCM)
after reprogramming.
2004 model year vehicles that have been flash reprogrammed.
All 2005 ± 2006 model year vehicles.

PG009-02
A battery in a stored vehicle is subject to conditions that can reduce its performance and
life. These conditions include storage period, temperature, parasitic drain, and battery
load. Because of these factors, battery inspection and maintenance are required in
order to ensure proper operation and optimal battery life.
As a matter of policy, Lexus does not provide battery warranty coverage for discharged
and/or failed batteries due to lack of maintenance; it is the dealer's responsibility to
maintain the specified state of charge of the vehicle's battery while in stock and assure
proper state of charge at delivery.
To eliminate customer service concerns due to an undercharged battery during the first
few weeks of ownership, all dealers should check battery state of charge and
recharge, if necessary, just prior to delivery (i.e., within 48 hours of delivery).
This new procedure will improve the new vehicle ownership experience by greatly
reducing the risk of having a low performance battery concern due to extended storage
periods and/or short engine run times prior to the vehicle sale.
All models and model years through current.
