LEXUS LINK SYSTEM:
|
Item |
Symptom |
Cause |
Check Method |
Countermeasure |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Activation |
Cannot be activated |
Infrastructure Mayday ECU |
Check if phone is connected to LEXUS Link call center when SERVICES button is pressed If it is, problem may be in LEXUS Link call center / infrastructure If mayday ECU is within cover service area of system, replace it*1 |
If problem is in LEXUS Link call center / infrastructure, inform TMS and request repairs If problem is in mayday ECU , replace it*1 In some cases, moving vehicle to another location and trying to activate service connection again can solve problem |
|
Service Call Emergency Call |
Cannot connect to LEXUS Link call center Connection retry frequently occurs |
Infrastructure Telephone antenna (Cellular phone antenna)*2 Mayday ECU |
Run vehicle, check whether connection is related to place or area*3 If it is not related to place or area, problem may be in mayday ECU or telephone antenna (cellular phone antenna)*2 If it is related to place or area, problem may be in infrastructure |
If problem is not infrastructure, check wiring connection of telephone antenna (cellular phone antenna)*2 If there are no connection problems, check mayday ECU |
|
Cannot connect to LEXUS Link call center Connection retry frequently occurs |
Infrastructure |
Setup of infrastructure may be wrong |
Cellular carrier in area is not set up to accept Mobile Identification Number (MIN) for mayday ECU on vehicle Inform TMS and request setup |
|
|
Disconnection immediately after connection |
Infrastructure Telephone antenna (Cellular phone antenna)*2 Mayday ECU |
Run vehicle, check whether connection is related to place or area*3 If it is not related to place or area, problem may be in mayday ECU or telephone antenna (cellular phone antenna)*2 If it is related to place or area, problem may be in infrastructure |
If problem is not infrastructure, check wiring connection of telephone antenna (cellular phone antenna)*2 If there are no problems with above areas, check mayday ECU |
|
|
After connecting to LEXUS Link call center and driving long distance, connection worsens |
Infrastructure |
There is difference between registered information of location during activation and information in current location, leading to bad LEXUS Link call center connection |
Contact LEXUS Link call center with service call, ask to change registration information and download setup information again |
|
|
LEXUS Link system has no response after messages "Connecting to LEXUS Link" or "Connecting to LEXUS Link Emergency" |
Infrastructure Telephone antenna (Cellular phone Antenna)*2 Mayday ECU |
Run vehicle, check whether connection is related to place or area*3 If it is not related to place or area, problem may be in mayday ECU or telephone antenna (cellular phone antenna)*2 If it is related to place or area, problem may be in infrastructure |
Cellular electronic wave condition in area may cause this problem As vehicle data reaches LEXUS Link call center, call center will call back to vehicle |
|
|
Communication quality is abnormal |
Infrastructure LEXUS Link system |
Run vehicle, check whether connection is related to place or area*3 If it is not related to place or area, problem may be in mayday ECU or telephone antenna (cellular phone antenna)*2 If it is related to place or area, problem may be in infrastructure |
If problem is not in infrastructure, check vehicle equipment such as mayday switch, etc. |
HINT:
*1: If replacement of the ECU is necessary, replace the mayday battery (backup battery) together with the ECU. After the replacement, register the ECU.
*2: Telephone antenna includes peripheral parts such as the telephone antenna rod, telephone antenna base, antenna wire, etc.
*3: When running the vehicle, make sure it is in the LEXUS Link service area. If in a flat area, the vehicle may only need to be driven a few miles before a connection can be made. If in a mountainous area, the vehicle may have to be driven dozens of miles before the connection can be made.
