INSPECTION PROCEDURE

INSPECT FUSE (LH-IG, GLW PLG1, GLW PLG2)

INSPECT RELAY (GLW RLY1, GLW RLY2)

CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (A/C AMPLIFIER - BATTERY)

INSPECT AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER

INSPECT HEATER BLOWER WIRE

INSPECT WATER BY-PASS GLOW PLUG

AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM - PTC Heater Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The GLW RLY turns on when it receives a signal from the A/C amplifier. As a result, power is supplied to the heater glow plug.

  • Tester Connection (Symbols)ConditionSpecified Condition
    J58-4 (HTR2) - Body groundEngine switch on (IG)10 to 14 V
    J58-23 (HTR1) - Body groundEngine switch on (IG)10 to 14 V
NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK
4.INSPECT AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER
Air Conditioning System - Ptc Heater Circuit. AIR CONDITIONING. Lexus IS250 IS220d GSE20 ALE20

Reconnect the connector to the A/C amplifier.

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

  • Standard voltage:
  • Tester ConnectionConditionSpecified Condition
    J58-4 (HTR2) - Body groundEngine switch on (IG)10 to 14 V
    J58-4 (HTR2) - Body groundEngine switch on (IG)
    While the PTC operating conditions are met (engine is running at 850 rpm or more, ambient temperature is 0°C (32°F) or less, engine coolant temperature is 69°C (156°F) or less, and A/C switch setting is MAX HOT), turn the blower switch to the LO setting.
    Below 1 V
    J58-23 (HTR1) - Body groundEngine switch on (IG)10 to 14 V
    D47-2 - Body groundEngine switch on (IG)
    While the PTC operating conditions are met (engine is running at 850 rpm or more, ambient temperature is 0°C (32°F) or less, engine coolant temperature is 69°C (156°F) or less, and A/C switch setting is MAX HOT), turn the blower switch to the LO setting.
    Below 1 V
NG
REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER
OK
5.INSPECT HEATER BLOWER WIRE

Remove the grommets and nuts of the water by-pass glow plugs.

Turn the engine switch on (IG).
