INTRODUCTION:

The Lexus Diagnostic Tester was introduced to all Dealers in November of 1993. As technicians became more familiar with this equipment and as new engines were introduced with on board diagnostic II systems, this equipment has been used more and more frequently.

The tester and it's adaptor kits are very high quality and have been extensively tested, so we have experienced few problems in service.

However, as any problem could cause critical repair delays, TCI has established a comprehensive repair procedure to maintain this equipment in good operating condition.

PROBLEM DIAGNOSIS:

The most important part of Problem Diagnosis is to identify the problem area (hardware, software, cables or the vehicle itself).
- A self diagnosis function is built into the tester. So first complete the "self test detailed in the toolset operators manual. Also, check the cables for any damage.
- If no fault is found during "self test", contact Pierson Belle at Custone Electromotive for repair. When sending a TDT for repair at Custone Electromotive, all software and cables must be included in order for them to accurately determine the cause of the problem.
- (Proper diagnosis is required to avoid unnecessary repair or replacement of TDT components and also to reduce vehicle down time).
- TDT repairs are available through:
CUSTONE ELECTROMOTIVE INC.
1150 Champlain Court
Whitby ON L1N 6K9

NOTE: T.D.T. replacement parts are not available through the Parts Distribution Centre.

- Estimate fee is $159.92.
- A flat fee of $760.00 will be charged for all non-warrantable internal, diagnostic tester repairs (cables and accessories extra).
- Repair turnaround time, in most cases, is 48 hours using Purolator.
- All charges for repair and replacement parts for TDT's outside of warranty will be billed directly by Custone Electromotive to the dealer. Any questions in regards to billing outside of warranty should be directed towards Service Department at Custone Electromotive.
