Cylinder Head Bolt Torque Procedure
Quick Training Guide – QL114B
All Lexus engines use torque-to-yield bolts for critical fastener applications, such as to fasten the
cylinder head to the cylinder block. Not following the Repair Manual instructions and failure to use
sound shop practices can result in damaged threads, warped mating surfaces, and cylinder head
gasket leakage. This QTG will explain how torqueing fasteners works and how torque-to-yield bolts
function, as well as providing proper shop procedures and outlining the proper torque sequence.

Overview
Conventional bolts stretch when they are torqued to specification and Torque-to-yield bolts are used in critical applications, such as cylinder
then return to their original length when they are removed. heads and rod caps.
• These applications demand consistent and equal torque distribution.
Torque-to-yield fasteners stretch a little with each use and will not return
to their original length when removed, so, they have to be inspected
before re-use.
Area of potential stretch

However, there are factors that can reduce the clamping force generated
by a fastener (bolt or nut).
• Dirty threads
• Damaged threads
• Insufficient lubrication
These factors can result in uneven torque from each fastener.

Distance
Also, there are specific tightening procedures and sequences that must
be followed for torque-to-yield bolts to work properly.

On Lexus vehicles, these bolts are torqued to a lower level to run

down and align the fastener, then a series of measured turns are Yield Point
used to tighten the fastener to the desired level. As turns are used
instead of a fixed torque value, any extra friction of the fastener is Tightening by Degrees

Sequence of Adjustments
The process of correcting wheel alignment geometry is determined by the relationships between the individual alignment angles,
vehicle, and the type of alignment being performed.
Before setting the front wheel toe, make all other adjustments first because the positioning of each wheel influences the front toe value.
Specific details of the alignment sequence may be dictated by the electronic alignment equipment being used.
The actual adjustment process should generally occur in the following order:
This adjustment sequence is one of the final components of a

complete diagnostic process.
• Proper wheel alignment diagnosis and correction must
follow all of the diagnostic steps.
• Always ensure proper ride height and tire pressure.
• Simply adjusting the alignment geometry without proper
inspection of the suspension, steering, and other related
systems may not correct and could even mask the root
cause of the customer complaint.

Load & Inflation

Load and Inflation
Pressurized air inside the tire supports the vehicle’s load. The required
inflation pressure increases when the load applied to the tire increases.
Load and Inflation Heavy loads cause the internal tire temperature to rise. This extra heat
weakens the bond between the individual tire components and causes
tread separation and/or failure.
• Maximum load and the corresponding inflation pressure to support that
UTQGS
load are specified on both passenger car and light truck tires.
• For example: 1010 LBS @ 32 PSI MAX.
• This pressure specification is the maximum inflation pressure for the tire
and should only be used when specified by the manufacturer.

Information for proper inflation pressure during normal load conditions can
be found in the Owners Manual or the Tire Information Placard located

to the Repair Manual for details.)
When checking fluid level on vehicles with Electronically
Controlled Brakes (ECB), the ECB system must be operating.
Fluid inspection procedures for ECB systems without Power
Source Backup may be different so be sure to check the
Repair Manual.
Examine Fluid Condition
The brake fluid should be clear with a light amber color.
• Fluid that is brown or muddy indicates a serious problem.
• On vehicles with a hydraulic brake booster, fluid that appears
“milky” contains excessive air and should be bled.
Precautions
• Brake fluid is a solvent; it will dissolve paint on contact.
• Uncapped brake fluid absorbs moisture, which will reduce boiling
point and corrode metals.
• Brake fluid must be disposed of according to local regulations and
EPA guidelines.

Dual Trace - Open BEAN
An open circuit in a bus segment of a BEAN network separates the network into two parts. Similarly, two opens in the ring portion of the
network also separate the network into two parts. Now the network is no longer continuous.
Though separated into two different networks, the ECUs on each half continue to communicate with each other. The result is different BEAN

When any communication bus is shorted to ground, the ECUs are unable to raise the line voltage to send signals. The line voltage is flat-lined at 0V.

The characteristics of a normal CAN signal are:

• CANH and CANL idle at 2.5V.
• Data signals appear in periodic bursts.

Short CANH to CANL
When CANH and CANL are shorted together, it is impossible to generate a differential voltage on the two lines. The matching high and low

This condition is indicated by a flat line at 2.5 volts.

Short CANH or CANL to B+
Shorting CANH to B+ boosts the circuit’s idling voltage from 2.5V to battery voltage. Though the ECUs in the circuit are unable to raise CANH
voltage above B+, they are able to lower CANL enough to create a voltage differential and the appearance of communication.
When CANL is connected to B+, the circuit’s idling voltage becomes battery voltage. The ECUs cannot drag the CANL line voltage lower
CAN
because it is connected directly to B+, nor can they raise the CANH line voltage above B+. The voltage spikes on the line are not interpreted as
communication and none of the ECUs appear in the CAN bus check.
Measuring CANH and CANL with a DVOM would likely show both lines very close to B+.

Short CANH or CANL to Ground
Grounding the CANH side of the CAN bus brings the idling voltage of both lines to 0V. With CANH tied to ground, the ECUs cannot generate
a positive voltage on the line. On the CANL line, the ECUs can’t create a pulse lower than 0V. The spikes on the line are not interpreted as
communication and none of the ECUs appear in a CAN bus check.

Grounding the CANL side of the CAN bus brings the idling voltage of both lines to 0V. With CANL tied to ground, the ECUs cannot generate a

Open in CANH or CANL (Main Bus)
With an open in either CANH or CANL on the main bus, part of the circuit loses its connection with one of the terminating resistors. The purpose
of the resistors is to help keep signals from “bouncing” and generating noise. Though these waveforms show apparent communication, you can
tell the circuits have a problem because:
• Idling voltage is NOT 2.5V

• CANH voltage range is NOT 2.5V to 3V
• CANL voltage range is NOT 2.5V to 1.5V

Corrective Action: if necessary
• Clean the terminal and connector

Wetness, Dirt, or Filmy Substance on Top
of Battery Case
Contaminants can provide a path for current flow
between the terminals leading to battery discharge.
Corrective Action:
• Check for voltage drop between the positive
battery terminal and the suspect area
• If necessary, clean the case with Lexus-
approved battery cleaner (Part No. 00289-BTC00)

Battery Testing: Before Testing
Before Testing
Follow these best practices before performing a battery test:
• If the engine has been off less than 30 minutes, or if the vehicle was
jump-started, reduce the battery surface charge before testing.
–– To reduce the surface charge, turn the headlights on for
60 seconds.
• Check the terminal clamps to be sure they are clean and tight.
Testing
• Determine the vehicle charging voltage, and verify it is within Repair
Manual specifications.
Surface Charge
• Be sure the tester clamps have a good “bite” on the lead of the
battery terminals. Place clamps on the lead posts, if possible. Surface charge is the uneven mixture of sulfuric acid and
water within the surface of the battery plates resulting from
charging or discharging.
Surface charge can make a weak battery appear good or

a good battery appear bad.
It is important to always reduce surface charge

even if the tester does not indicate to do so.
To reduce the surface charge, turn the headlights on for 60 seconds.

Battery Testing: Testing
Before Testing
Follow these best practices when testing a battery: • When the tester asks, “Was the battery just fully charged?”
• Using the GR8 load test is preferred for battery testing. choose “No” unless you personally charged the battery
–– On the tester menu, select Charging > Diagnostic, not before testing.
“Battery Test.“ –– If you choose “Yes,” the tester expects a fully charged
battery. A good battery may fail the test if it is not
fully charged.
Testing
• Verify that the CCA rating displayed on the tester is the same
as the CCA rating on the battery installed in the vehicle.
–– If they are not the same, test results will be inaccurate.
• If using the NVS-8150, hold the temperature sensor within

2 inches of the negative battery terminal during the test.
–– The temperature sensor is located on the top-left of the tester.
–– Remove engine covers, etc. if necessary to allow correct
placement.
If the Battery Fails

Battery If the battery fails the initial in-vehicle test, ALWAYS retest with the
battery out of the vehicle.
• It is acceptable to test the battery in the vehicle, but with both

battery cables removed.

If there is a difference in test results with the battery in and out
of the vehicle, determine the reason!

Shop Practices
• Always use the GR8 for battery charging.
–– If necessary, it is acceptable to run the vehicle for at least
30 minutes with all accessories off to charge the battery. After
charging the battery with the vehicle charging system, be sure
to check the battery using the GR8.
• Before installing a replacement battery, check its voltage.
–– Batteries can lose charge sitting on the parts shelf. A fully
charged battery should have at least 12.6 volts.
–– Test with the NVS-8150, or with the GR8 using the “Battery
Test“ function.
• Periodically maintain battery testers.

–– Check the software version and keep testers updated.
–– Inspect clamps, cables, and connectors. Repair as necessary.
Tester software can be found on TIS. See the Reference tab

above for more information.

–– The GR8’s temperature sensors are built into the clamps
on the positive and negative leads. Inspect the temperature
sensors for damage, dirt, scratches, etc. The sensors should
be shiny and clean.

• Damaged Test Leads

–– Damage to test cable leads can lead to inaccurate or erratic
test results.
–– Do not carry the tester by the cables.
–– Do not bend or fold test leads harshly.
–– Inspect the leads and the connector for obvious damage
and replace if necessary. Do not attempt to repair
damaged leads.

Common Issues: Erratic Test Results
Tester Cables and Clamps

Erratic test results could indicate something is wrong with the tester,
leads, or clamps. Erratic test results can include:
• Unusual messages
• Error messages
• Abnormal voltage readings
–– 0 volts displayed after the vehicle is driven into the shop
• Erratic Voltage Readings
–– Voltage readings that cycle or change, often when moving the
tester or cables
Erratic Test Results

If you have any doubt about the tester, use another tester to
confirm your diagnosis.
