in the engine compartment. During PDS, reinstall the D/C cut fuse (20A) into its original location
and clear ALL related Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
Remove the D/C cut fuse (20A) from the blank space of the relay block in the engine
compartment and install it in the location shown.

2021 NX 300, NX 300h Pre-Delivery Service (PDS)
Deletion of Vehicle Alert History

As the D/C cut fuse is removed, the communication between the various ECUs is interrupted.
When the D/C cut fuse is reinstalled, the communication status is restored, but Lexus Enform
Service Connect may store malfunction history in the form of vehicle alert history.
Therefore, it is necessary to operate the multi-display and delete the vehicle alert history AFTER
installing the D/C cut fuse during PDS at the dealership.
Deletion procedure

1. Turn the engine switch (power switch) to the “ON” position (“ON” mode).
2. Push the Menu switch on the remote touch device.
3. On the multi-display, enter the following menus: Info – Vehicle Alert History.
4. If there is vehicle alert history, perform the Delete History operation.
HINT
If there is no vehicle alert history stored, the system will display a message stating that
“There is no vehicle alert history.”

5. When the vehicle alert history deletion confirmation screen is displayed, select Yes.
HINT
When deletion of the vehicle alert history is complete, the system will display a message stating that
“There is no vehicle alert history.”

6. Turn the engine switch (power switch) to the “OFF” position (“OFF” mode).

Tire Pressure Warning System (TPWS) Initialization

Refer to the applicable Repair Manual for the TPWS initialization procedure (NX 300 / NX 300h).
Note the spare tire does NOT have a TPWS sensor.
NOTE
To adjust the tire pressure correctly when the outside temperature is significantly colder than the shop
temperature, perform a Health Check using Techstream and select the compensation tire pressure
checkbox. Compensation pressures will display on the Health Check results screen. Adjust the tire
pressure when the tires are cold.

Memorize Steering Angle Neutral Point

As a result of the removal of the D/C cut fuse, the power source to the steering angle sensor is
cut off. When the D/C cut fuse is reinstalled, the parking assist monitor system/panoramic view
monitor system will be operative, but it cannot display guidelines to assist parking operation
because the center position recognized by the steering angle sensor may not be in an initial
position. Therefore, perform steering angle neutral point initialization AFTER installing the
D/C cut fuse during PDS.
Refer to the applicable Repair Manual for the steering angle neutral point
initialization procedure (NX 300 / NX 300h).
