Calibration Procedure for CompassEKS00BCH
The difference between magnetic North and geographical North can sometimes be great enough to cause
false compass readings. In order for the compass to operate accurately in a particular zone, it must be cali-
brated using the following procedure.
CORRECTION FUNCTIONS OF COMPASS
The direction display is equipped with automatic correction function.
If the direction is not shown correctly, carry out initial correction.
INITIAL CORRECTION PROCEDURE FOR COMPASS
1. Pushing the Mode switch for about 10 seconds will enter the initial correction mode. The compass display
will begin to flash.
2. Turn the vehicle slowly in an open, safe place. The initial correction is completed in approximately 1.5
turns.
NOTE:
In places where the terrestrial magnetism is extremely disturbed, the initial correction may start automatically.

REAR SONAR SYSTEM
Revision: October 20052005 QX56
Pre-diagnosis InspectionEKS00BD7
SENSOR STATUS CHECK

Check that the rear sonar sensor is properly aligned (bumper is not misaligned, no deformation in sensor
mounting area.

Check that snow, mud, or other foreign objects are not adhering to the rear sonar sensor.

Check that there is no deformation, scratches, or other damage to the rear sonar sensor.

Check that water has not accumulated in the rear sonar sensor.
CAUTION:
Use water, cotton swab, or other soft material for cleaning the sensor.
1. Check that there are no obstacles within each rear sonar sensor's detection range.
2. Check that there are no nearby ultrasound sources (such as the sounds of vehicle horns, motorcycle
engines, or truck air brakes).
3. Check that the vehicle is on a level surface.
Self-diagnosis FunctionEKS00BD8
There are four modes of self-diagnosis; entering diagnostics, requesting number of fault codes, requesting
fault codes, and idling or clearing fault codes. These steps must be followed in order. Self-diagnosis can be
manually exited by turning the ignition switch OFF, or selecting reverse gear. Self-diagnosis will exit unless a
fault code request occurs before a message is repeated five times without acknowledgement.
ENTERING DIAGNOSTICS MODE
1. Turn ignition switch ON. Rear sonar system OFF switch indica-
tor lamp illuminates for three seconds and then turns off.
2. Immediately push rear sonar system OFF switch ten times
within five seconds.
3. The sonar buzzer will sound once and the rear sonar system
OFF indicator will flash once.
REQUESTING NUMBER OF FAULT CODES MODE
1. While in diagnostic mode, push rear sonar system OFF switch
once.
2. The sonar buzzer will sound once.
3. Rear sonar system OFF indicator will flash once and sonar
buzzer will sound once for each fault code detected.
4. There will be a four second pause.
5. The number of fault codes will repeat five times then pause.
NOTE:
Self-diagnosis will exit unless requesting fault codes occurs
before five repeats ends.
Detection range
Rear sonar sensors Approx. 1.8 m (5.9 ft.) maximum

REQUESTING FAULT CODES MODE
1. While in "requesting number of fault codes" mode, push rear
sonar system OFF switch once.
2. The sonar buzzer will sound once.
3. Rear sonar system OFF indicator will flash and sonar buzzer will
sound the first digit of the fault code followed by a one second
pause.
4. Rear sonar system OFF indicator will flash and sonar buzzer will
sound the second digit of the fault code followed by a four sec-
ond pause.
5. The fault codes will repeat five times then pause.
NOTE:
Requesting fault codes will exit unless the fault code is acknowledged before five repeats ends.
The fault code is acknowledged by pushing the rear sonar system OFF switch once (the sonar buzzer
may sound). When all fault codes have been indicated, idle mode will be entered. See the following table
for fault code identification.
IDLING OR CLEARING FAULT CODES MODE
NOTE:
While in idle mode, self-diagnosis will automatically exit if no activity occurs for thirty seconds.
1. Push and hold rear sonar system OFF switch for three seconds
to reset time-out counter.
2. Push and hold rear sonar system OFF switch for three seconds
to clear codes.

ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM
2005 QX56
ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEMPFP:00028
IntroductionUBS00KZP
The ECM has an on board diagnostic system, which detects malfunctions related to engine sensors or actua-
tors. The ECM also records various emission-related diagnostic information including:
The above information can be checked using procedures listed in the table below.
×: Applicable —: Not applicable
*: When DTC and 1st trip DTC simultaneously appear on the display, they cannot be clearly distinguished from each other.
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the instrument panel lights up when the same malfunction is detected
in two consecutive trips (Two trip detection logic), or when the ECM enters fail-safe mode. (Refer to EC-103,
"Fail-safe Chart" .)
Two Trip Detection LogicUBS00KZQ
When a malfunction is detected for the first time, 1st trip DTC and 1st trip Freeze Frame data are stored in the
ECM memory. The MIL will not light up at this stage. <1st trip>
If the same malfunction is detected again during the next drive, the DTC and Freeze Frame data are stored in
the ECM memory, and the MIL lights up. The MIL lights up at the same time when the DTC is stored. <2nd
trip> The “trip” in the “Two Trip Detection Logic” means a driving mode in which self-diagnosis is performed
during vehicle operation. Specific on board diagnostic items will cause the ECM to light up or blink the MIL,
and store DTC and Freeze Frame data, even in the 1st trip, as shown below.
×: Applicable —: Not applicable
When there is an open circuit on MIL circuit, the ECM cannot warn the driver by lighting up MIL when there is
malfunction on engine control system.
