GS450h_300h_OM_OM30D53E_(EE)
Checking and replacing fuses
Turn the power switch off.
After a system failure, see “Fuse layout and amperage ratings”
for details about which fuse to check. (P. 787)
Open the fuse box cover.
Engine compartment:
Remove the engine compart-
ment cover (P. 740) and
remove all of the clips.
Push the tabs on either side to
detach the lock and lift the lid
off while pulling the lock
plate.
When installing the lid, check
that the lock plate and the tabs
on either side are connected cor-
rectly.
If any of the electrical components do not operate, a fuse may have

After a fuse is replaced
If the lights do not turn on even after the fuse has been replaced, a bulb may
need replacement. (P. 803)
If the replaced fuse blows again, have the vehicle inspected by any autho-
rized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional.
If there is an overload in a circuit
The fuses are designed to blow, protecting the wiring harness from damage.
When replacing light bulbs
Lexus recommends that you use genuine Lexus products designed for this
vehicle. Because certain bulbs are connected to circuits designed to prevent
overload, non-genuine parts or parts not designed for this vehicle may be
unusable.
CAUTION
To prevent system breakdowns and vehicle fire
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause damage to the vehicle, and possibly a fire or
injury.
Never use a fuse of a higher amperage rating than that indicated, or use
any other object in place of a fuse.
Always use a genuine Lexus fuse or equivalent.
Never replace a fuse with a wire, even as a temporary fix.
Do not modify the fuses or fuse boxes.
NOTICE
Before replacing fuses
Have the cause of electrical overload determined and repaired by any
authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional as soon as possible.
