direction.
(c) Check that there is no remarkable play in the radial direc-
tion of the inboard joint.
(d) Check the boots for damage.
13. REMOVE FRONT AXLE INBOARD JOINT BOOT
CLAMP
(a) One touch type
(1) Using a screwdriver, remove the front axle inboard
joint boot LH clamp and front axle inboard joint boot

1. REMOVE OIL PUMP RELIEF VALVE
(a) Remove the plug, spring and relief valve.
2. INSPECT OIL PUMP RELIEF VALVE
(a) Apply a light coat of engine oil to the relief valve.
(b) Check that the relief valve falls smoothly into the valve
hole by its own weight.
3. INSPECT OIL PUMP ASSY
(a) Remove the oil pump cover.
(1) Remove the 10 screws and oil pump cover.
(b) Remove the oil pump rotor set.
NOTICE:
Do not change the combination or turn over the 2 removed
rotors.
(c) Inspect the oil pump rotor set.
(1) Apply a light coat of engine oil to the oil pump rotor
set, then place them into the oil pump body. Check
that the rotors revolve smoothly.
(d) Inspect the tip clearance.
(1) Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance be-
tween the drive and driven rotor tips.
Standard tip clearance:
0.06 to 0.18 mm (0.0024 to 0.0071 in.)
Maximum tip clearance: 0.35 mm (0.0138 in.)
(e) Inspect the body clearance.
(1) Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance be-
tween the driven rotor and body.
Standard body clearance:
0.250 to 0.325 mm (0.0098 to 0.0128 in.)
Maximum body clearance: 0.30 mm (0.0118 in.)
(f) Inspect the side clearance.
(1) Using a feeler gauge and precision straight edge,
measure the clearance between the rotors and pre-
cision straight edge.
Standard side clearance:
0.03 to 0.09 mm (0.0012 to 0.0035 in.)
Maximum side clearance: 0.15 mm (0.0059 in.)

26. INSPECT VANE PUMP ROTOR AND VANE PUMP
PLATES
(a) Using a micrometer, measure the height, thickness and
length of the vane pump plates.
Minimum height: 8.6 mm (0.339 in.)
Minimum thickness: 1.397 mm (0.05500 in.)
Minimum length: 14.991 mm (0.59020 in.)
(b) Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between
the vane pump rotor groove and vane pump plate.
Maximum clearance: 0.03 mm (0.0012 in.)
If it is more than the maximum, replace the vane pump assy.
27. INSPECT FLOW CONTROL VALVE
(a) Coat the flow control valve with power steering fluid and
check that it falls smoothly into the flow control valve hole
by its own weight.
(b) Check the flow control valve for leakage. Close one of the
holes and apply compressed air of 392 - 490 kPa (4 - 5
kgf/cm
2, 57 - 71 psi) into the opposite side hole, and con-
firm that air does not come out from the end holes.
If necessary, replace the vane pump assy.
28. INSPECT FLOW CONTROL VALVE COMPRESSION
SPRING
(a) Using vernier calipers, measure the free length of the flow
control valve compression spring.
Minimum free length: 32.24 mm (1.2693 in.)
If it is not within the specification, replace the vane pump assy.

Failure to follow the recommendations indicated below could result in reduced
effectiveness of the seat belt restraint system in case of vehicle collision, causing
personal injury.
If your seat belt cannot be fastened securely because it is not long enough, a
personalized Seat Belt Extender is available from your Lexus dealer free of charge.
Please visit your local Lexus dealer so that the dealer can order the proper required
length extender. Bring the heaviest coat you expect to wear for proper measurement and
selection of length. Additional ordering information is available at your Lexus dealer.
When the Seat Belt Extender is provided for rear seat positions (with automatic locking
retractor), make sure that the retractor is locked when in use.
To connect the extender to the seat
belt, insert the tab into the seat belt
buckle so that the buckle-release
buttons of the extender and the seat
belt are both facing outward as shown.
You will hear a click when the tab locks
into the buckle.
When not in use, remove the extender
and store in the vehicle for future use.
CAUTION:
On vehicles equipped with SRS ± Occupant Classification System (OCS)*, it is
critical that the extender tab be buckled into the buckle AFTER the occupant sits
down in the seat.
Leaving extender installed in the buckle before sitting down will cause the OCS to be
in the ªairbag offº or disarmed state.
* OCS will enable or disable the passenger front and side airbags based on passenger weight and seat belt
latch position classifying the passenger as a child or adult.
CAUTION:
When using the Seat Belt Extender, observe the following. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in reduced effectiveness of the seat belt restraint system in
case of vehicle accident, increasing the chance of personal injury.
Never use the Seat Belt Extender if you can COMFORTABLY fasten the seat belt
without it.
The Seat Belt Extender must never be used with any child safety seats.
Remember that the extender provided for you may not be safe when used on a
different vehicle, for another person or for a different seating position than the one
originally intended.September 29, 2004

Title:
PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATOR LAMP
Models:
'04 ± '05 ES 330 & RX 330
Technical Service
Information Bulletin
February 22, 2005
EL002-05
The passenger airbag indicator lamp may switch from ON to OFF for front seat
passengers weighing approximately less than 100 pounds, depending on their seating
position. It is important for the front seat passengers to know that proper operation of the
advanced frontal airbag system is highly dependent on the pressure placed on the seat
bottom. Situations that add or subtract sensed weight can result in occupant
misclassification. To minimize this situation:
Check seating posture.
± Passengers should be seated upright with their back against the seatback and
feet on the floor.
Check loading conditions.
± Extra weight from items such as bags or groceries or toys hanging on the
seatback can add to the sensed weight of the front seat passenger.
± A rear seat passenger lifting the front seat with their legs, objects placed under
the front seat, or the front seatback in contact with the rear seat can subtract from
the sensed weight of the front seat passenger.
If the passenger airbag indicator lamp continues to switch ON to OFF after checking the
above conditions, perform the following repair procedure.
NOTE:
The safest place for children is in the rear seat.
Please note that Lexus recommends
that you NEVER
install a rear±facing child restraint in the front passenger seat, even if
the passenger ªAirbag OFFº lamp is illuminated. Please refer to the Owner's Manual
for additional details.
