INSPECTION PROCEDURE

1.INSPECT FUSE (LH-IG)

  1. Remove the LH-IG fuse from the cowl side junction block LH.

  1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

    Standard resistance:

    Tester Item
    		Condition
    		Specified Condition
    LH-IG fuse
    		Always
    		Below 1 Ω


NG
REPLACE FUSE (LH-IG)
OK


2.READ VALUE OF INTELLIGENT TESTER

  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  1. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the intelligent tester main switch on.

  1. Allow exhaust gas (HC, CO) to travel to the sensing portion of the smog ventilation sensor.

  1. Select the item below in the Data List, and read the display on the intelligent tester.

    Lexus Is250, Is220D. Gse20 Ale20.Air Conditioning.Air Conditioning System. Dtc B1418/18 Exhaust Gas Sensor Circuit

  1. Disconnect the smog ventilation sensor connector.

  1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

    Standard resistance:
    Tester Connection
    		Condition
    		Specified Condition
    B11-6 (E) - Body ground
    		Always
    		Below 1 Ω


NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK


4.CHECK WIRE HARNESS (SMOG VENTILATION SENSOR - BATTERY)


    Lexus Is250, Is220D. Gse20 Ale20.Air Conditioning.Air Conditioning System. Dtc B1418/18 Exhaust Gas Sensor Circuit

  1. Disconnect the smog ventilation sensor connector.

  1. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

    Standard voltage:
    Tester Connection
    		Condition
    		Specified Condition
    B11-3 (IG) - Body ground
    		Engine switch on (IG)
    		10 to 14 V
    Engine switch off
    		Below 1 V


NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK


5.INSPECT SMOG VENTILATION SENSOR


    Lexus Is250, Is220D. Gse20 Ale20.Air Conditioning.Air Conditioning System. Dtc B1418/18 Exhaust Gas Sensor Circuit

  1. Remove the smog ventilation sensor.

  1. Apply battery voltage between terminals 3 (IG) and 6 (E).

  1. Allow exhaust gas (HC, CO) to travel to the sensing portion of the smog ventilation sensor, and measure the resistance between terminals 1 (SG) and 2 (DGS).

    OK:
    When the sensor is exposed to the exhaust gas, the resistance increases.
    HINT:
    The resistance before blowing exhaust gas is 10 kΩ to 40 kΩ.


NG
REPLACE SMOG VENTILATION SENSOR
OK


6.CHECK WIRE HARNESS (SMOG VENTILATION SENSOR - A/C AMPLIFIER)


    Lexus Is250, Is220D. Gse20 Ale20.Air Conditioning.Air Conditioning System. Dtc B1418/18 Exhaust Gas Sensor Circuit

  1. Disconnect the smog ventilation sensor.

  1. Disconnect the A/C amplifier connector.

  1. Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.

    Standard resistance:
    Tester Connection
    		Condition
    		Specified Condition
    B11-1 (SG) - J58-39 (SG-6)
    		Always
    		Below 1 Ω
    B11-2 (DGS) - J58-34 (DGS)
    		Always
    		Below 1 Ω
    J58-39 (SG-6) - Body ground
    		Always
    		10 kΩ or higher
    J58-34 (DGS) - Body ground
    		Always
    		10 kΩ or higher
