Diagnostic On Navigator

[bitonw]

hi,

from memphis of the german loc i found this:

how to get your diagnostic data of your is200 on the navigator screen?

with the audio unit off and the navigator screen open, press and hold the following keys with your (left hand) thumb and finger: key 1 and 6 of the audio unit and press cd key with your other finger (hand) 3 times fast. now you will see the menu system check on the navigator screen.

not sure how this works since i don't have a navigator in my car but wanted to share this info.

original text:

Hab auch gleich was dazu gelernt und zwar wie man sämtliche Fehlerdaten vom IS auslesen kann und sein System checken kann und alles ohne Zusatzgerät einsehbar auf dem eigenen Navi-Bildschirm.

Haltet folgende Tasten mit Daumen und Zeigefinger(der re Hand)gedrückt: Taste 1 und 6 der Audio-Anlage und mit der anderen Hand gleichzeitig 3x schnell die CD Taste drücken dann erscheint bei ausgeschaltener Audioanlage und hochgeklapptem Bildschirm das Systemcheck-Menü. Das ist allerdings nur für die Lexusspezialisten in der Werkstatt für Diagnosezwecke gedacht und mein Toyotaspezialist hat mir gesagt ich dürfte das eigentlich nicht wissen wie man das abrufen kann. Trotzdem hat er den Griff so langsam angewendet, das ich mir die Reihenfolge merken konnte

Aber bitte verstellt nix - sonst funktioniert manches nachher nicht mehr so wie es sollte -

- und von mir kennt ihr den Trick nicht ;)

Gruß, Memphis

I have never heard of this before ... but I'm sure all LOC'ers are out there now pressing those buttons :P

It works on CD-Navi. Dunno about DVD.

It's only Navi-diagnostics. No errors from ecu.

Cannot remember if the DVD is the same procedure or not. Fargo or Geoffers will be able to confirm.

On other models you can press hidden buttons on the touch screen - not an option on the IS as it doesn't have one.

which hidden buttons col?

[Fargo]

if memory serves you play with the ignition whilst pressing a button to get the system up...on the DVD system anyways..

[Fargo]

oh yeh ,, its in japenese aswell.

on the GS, you have to hold down two buttons on around the screen - (from memory climate and menu) and then cycle the sidelights 3 times - I have the exact instructions in the manual if anyone really wants them

If had a couple of looks - there's not much in there that's any help - it's only the Nav diagnostics, not them car/engine ones

You need to be stopped with the handbrake on - possible in Park as well.

Press display to bring up the brightness/contrast adjustments the press the areas in the picture - start at the top then bottom three times.

To get out of the mode you need to turn off the ignition.

There are a couple of useful things, one will show you GPS tracking information and the other is vehicle speed - you can see how much the speedo is out.

You can also get the info from the method Rod posted (maybe slightly different between CD and DVD versions).

IS dvd nav is with unit on hold down the info button and turn side light's on and off 3 times

[Geoffers]

Yep - certainly is. Initial diagnostics are English but the extended menu is in Japanese. Someone on here translated it a while ago but I can't find it.

While in diag mode, do the same again (hold info, lights on/off 3 times) for the extended menu.
