Lexus ES: Dtc Check / Clear

DTC CHECK / CLEAR

HINT:

  • DTCs which are stored in the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) can be displayed on the Techstream. The Techstream can display the current, pending and permanent DTCs.
  • If a malfunction is detected during the current driving cycle, current and permanent DTCs are stored.
  • Current DTCs can be cleared by using the Techstream. However, permanent DTCs cannot be cleared using either of these two methods.
  • After clearing current DTCs using the Techstream, permanent DTCs can be cleared when the system is determined to be normal for the relevant DTCs and then the universal trip is performed. The driving pattern to obtain a normal judgment is described under the "Confirmation Driving Pattern" for the respective DTC.
Detection Logic Examples

Pending DTC

Store condition

Malfunction detected

Clear condition

Power switch turned on (IG) after normal judgment obtained in 1 driving cycle

or

DTCs cleared using Techstream

Current DTC

Store condition

Malfunction detected

Clear condition

No malfunctions in 40 driving cycles

or

DTCs cleared using Techstream

Permanent DTC

Store condition

Malfunction detected

Clear condition

Power switch turned on (IG) after normal judgment obtained in 3 consecutive driving cycles

or

After DTCs cleared using Techstream, normal judgment obtained and universal trip performed

MIL

ON

Malfunction detected

OFF

Power switch turned on (IG) after normal judgment obtained in 3 consecutive driving cycles

or

DTCs cleared using Techstream

HINT:

  • Obtaining a normal judgment and performing a universal trip driving pattern can be done in the same driving cycle or in different driving cycles.
  • Ensure to wait at least 2 minutes between each trip.

CLEAR PERMANENT DTC

HINT:

Even if the following procedure is not performed, permanent DTCs are cleared by obtaining a normal judgment during 3 consecutive driving cycles.

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the power switch on (IG).

(c) Turn the Techstream on.

(d) Enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRAC / Trouble Codes.

Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRAC > Trouble Codes

HINT:

If "PERMANENT" in the top right of the screen displays "YES", permanent DTCs are stored.

(e) Change the tab from "Enhanced" to "Generic".

(f) Check if permanent DTCs are stored.

HINT:

If permanent DTCs are not output, it is not necessary to continue this procedure.

(g) Clear the DTCs.

Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRAC > Clear DTCs

(h) Perform the respective confirmation driving patterns in order to obtain a normal judgment for the output DTCs.

HINT:

    HINT:

    • It is possible to complete the drive pattern even if the vehicle decelerates to less than 40 km/h (25 mph) during the driving cycle provided that the vehicle is driven at 40 km/h (25 mph) or more for a total of 5 minutes.
    • If the engine stops, further depress the accelerator pedal to restart the engine.
  5. Allow 10 minutes or more to elapse from the time the engine is started.
