Any previous printed versions of this bulletin should be discarded. © 2017 Lexus, a division of Toyota Motor Sales, USA Page 1 of 11 L-SB-0113-12 Rev1 November 21, 2012 Page 2 of 11 Flood Damaged Vehicle Inspection and Handling Introduction In the event that a Lexus vehicle becomes submerged in water, many components may be physically damaged. Electrical and electronic components, including wiring harnesses, are particularly susceptible to corrosion and subsequent malfunction. Although any flooding can be damaging, salt water flooding elevates the potential for abnormal conditions and may increase risks due to its highly corrosive and conductive nature. Salt residue also continues to corrode and remain conductive even after a vehicle dries. This bulletin is intended to assist with safe handling and inspection of flood damaged vehicles and to provide basic guidance on likely needed repairs. NOTE Damage associated with a vehicle being submerged in water is NOT covered by the Lexus New Vehicle Warranty policy. VIN and inspection results for vehicles currently within the warranty period should be forwarded to the District Service and Parts Manager (DSPM) for their reference and updates to the Warranty system. This bulletin provides general guidance and inspection areas. Each individual vehicle MUST be carefully reviewed based on the situation (water level, water type, and duration of exposure). Service Bulletin Overview This bulletin contains three sections: 1. Vehicle Safing – Make sure the vehicle is in a safe condition and the electrical system is disabled to minimize risks from corrosion, damaged circuits, and attempted operation. 2. Vehicle Inspection – Assess the level of damage and determine necessary parts replacement, cleaning procedures, and potential long-term effects. 3. Vehicle Repair – Guidance for repair decisions on vehicle systems, sub-systems, and components. NOTE Due to the potential level of damage after an extended partial or full submersion, some vehicles may NOT be repairable and should be decommissioned. Final decisions on repair costs, vehicle value, and possible salvage or decommissioning are the responsibility of the customer, dealership, and insurer. Inspection and repair o f flood damaged vehicles is NOT warrantable.

Water entry and resulting corrosion may cause electrical system anomalies or performance issues including: Improper power distribution/system operation/overcurrent conditions. High resistance from corrosion and abnormal heat generation that could lead to a fire. SRS airbag, pretensioner, and/or side curtain airbag false activation/deployment. CAUTION Read ALL instructions and Cautions BEFORE approaching a suspected flooded vehicle. If the flooded vehicle is equipped with a hybrid drivetrain, be sure to use electrical insulating gloves (high voltage safety gloves). If ANY water is found in the vehicle or if the carpet is found wet, DO NOT attempt to start the vehicle until AFTER the inspection and potentially needed repairs can be completed. Flood waters can be contaminated. Take precautions to minimize exposure including use of a respirator, face shield, safety glasses, and gloves. Wash e xposed skin thoroughly AFTER ANY contact with flood damaged components. If fire, smoke, or abnormal sounds are detected, DO NOT approach or open the vehicle. Keep ignition sources away from the vehicle due to potential battery outgassing. If the auxiliary (12V) battery is found disconnected in a potential flood vehicle, DO NOT connect the battery until a complete inspection is performed and a course of action is determined. 1. Determine if the vehicle has been flooded with water above the rocker panels into the floor of the vehicle. HINT If no standing water is detected on the vehicle floor and the carpet is wet, assume that internal flooding has occurred. Has the vehicle flooded with water above the rocker panels into the floor of the vehicle? YES — Continue to step 2. NO — Go to the Vehicle Inspection section. 2. Open the doors and trunk/hatch to release trapped water, ventilate the cabin, and allow the interior to air dry. 3. Locate and remove the body drain plugs at the rear corners of the cabin floor and/or in the spare tire well (if available) to assist with draining the vehicle. 4. Disconnect the auxiliary battery and make sure the cable is folded down and away from the terminal. © 2017 Lexus, a division of Toyota Motor Sales, USA L-SB-0113-12 Rev1 November 21, 2012 Page 5 of 11 Flood Damaged Vehicle Inspection and Handling Vehicle Safing (Continued) 5. On hybrid vehicles, disconnect the HV battery service plug connector (ONLY AFTER the auxiliary battery is disconnected). CAUTION If the battery area contains standing water, drain BEFORE removing the HV battery service plug connector. 6. Using a floor jack or GoJak®, move and store the vehicle away from structures and vehicles. Vehicle Inspection Determining the level of water intrusion and whether the vehicle was contaminated with fresh or salt water will help assess the extent of damage that has occurred and may continue to occur. As salt water is more damaging, this bulletin focuses primarily on salt water flooding. If the vehicle was driven in flood waters, additional inspections may be necessary. © 2017 Lexus, a division of Toyota Motor Sales, USA L-SB-0113-12 Rev1 November 21, 2012 Page 6 of 11 Flood Damaged Vehicle Inspection and Handling Vehicle Inspection (Continued) Use the following illustration to identify the inspection level based on depth and angle of vehicle submersion. HINT If the vehicle was parked at an angle during flooding, establish the highest point of the water line and the corresponding inspection level as shown for the appropriate key inspection areas identified on the following pages. Figure 1. 2 2 1 1 2 Water Line Inspection Level NOTE Key inspection areas are cumulative from Levels 1 – 5 as water level increases. For example, Level 4 includes ALL inspection areas from Levels 1 – 4. ANY vehicle that was driven through flood waters will require BOTH the Parked Vehicle Inspection and the Driven Vehicle Inspection. Table 1.

Residual corrosion and conductivity, once vehicle is dried, is not as great a concern as with salt water. ALL flooding situations should be inspected and judged individually. Vehicle Repair AFTER identifying affected components and when making repair decisions, consider the following: Electrical ANY electrical components that have been submerged in salt water (examples: harnesses, connectors, terminals, ECUs, hybrid and PHV batteries, switches, buttons, sensors) need to be replaced BEFORE operating the vehicle and should NOT be reused. NOTE Even AFTER salt water has dried, salt residue may remain on nearby surfaces. Cleaning and/or replacement of surrounding components may also be necessary to ensure proper operation of electrical systems. Chassis Brakes and suspension components not only need to move and slide freely for proper operation, but additional consideration needs to be given for subsequent corrosion that could impact future system performance. Disassemble, clean, reassemble, and lubricate ALL chassis components that have been submerged or subjected to extensive salt water exposure. Powertrain As in-depth performance analysis can be conducted using Techstream, repair MUST include testing and confirmation of proper live data performance, general Health Check (full Health Check for possible DTCs), inspection for oil and fuel contamination, consideration of ALL electrical components (as previously described in this bulletin), inspection and replacement of ANY rubber, plastic, and metal components that are deteriorating or damaged, and removal of salt water residue using appropriate cleaning agents. © 2017 Lexus, a division of Toyota Motor Sales, USA L-SB-0113-12 Rev1 November 21, 2012 Page 11 of 11 Flood Damaged Vehicle Inspection and Handling Vehicle Repair (Continued) Body and Interior Vehicle body designs generally incorporate pressure relief vents (to minimize door closing pressure). These can allow water entry into the passenger cabin during a flood situation and also have inherent low points or pockets that can retain flood water. Be sure to inspect, drain, and clean these locations. ANY component that became wet or saturated that has fabric, cloth, padding, or soft trim such as those listed below may need to be replaced and/or require follow-up mold remediation. Carpet and padding Seats Door trim panels Console Package tray Seals Remaining salt water residue in ANY part of the vehicle may accelerate corrosion and affect vehicle operation. Be sure to clean ALL affected internal and external surfaces thoroughly to prevent long-term damage. © 2017 Lexus, a division of Toyota Motor Sales, USA
