DRIVE BELTS
2004 QX56
DRIVE BELTSPFP:02117
Checking Drive BeltsEBS00ILA
WAR NIN G:
Be sure to perform when the engine is stopped.
1. Remove the air duct and resonator assembly when inspecting the drive belt. Refer to EM-14, "
Removal
and Installation" .
2. Make sure that the indicator (single line notch) of each auto tensioner is within the allowable working
range (between three line notches).
NOTE:

Check the auto tensioner indication when the engine is cold.

When the new drive belt is installed, the range should be as shown.

The indicator notch is located on the moving side of the auto tensioner.
3. Visually check the entire belt for wear, damage or cracks.
4. If the indicator is out of allowable working range or belt is damaged, replace the belt.
Tension AdjustmentEBS00ILB
Belt tensioning is not necessary, as it is automatically adjusted by the auto tensioner.
Removal and InstallationEBS00ILC

Removal
1. Remove the air duct and resonator assembly. Refer to EM-14, "Removal and Installation" .
2. Install Tool on auto tensioner pulley bolt, move in the direction of
arrow (loosening direction of tensioner) as shown.
CAUTION:
Avoid placing hand in a location where pinching may occur
if the tool accidentally comes off.
3. Remove the drive belt.

5. Install the quick connector cap on the quick connector joint (on
engine side only).
6. Install the fuel hose and tube to hose clamps.
7. Refill the engine coolant. Refer to MA-13, "
REFILLING ENGINE
COOLANT" .
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

After installing fuel tubes, make sure there is no fuel leakage at connections in the following steps.
–Apply fuel pressure to fuel lines with turning ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). Then check for
fuel leaks at connections.
–Start the engine and rev it up and check for fuel leaks at connections.

Perform procedures for “Throttle Valve Closed Position Learning” after finishing repairs. Refer to EC-44,
"Throttle Valve Closed Position Learning" .

If electric throttle control actuator is replaced, perform procedures for “Idle Air Volume Learning” after fin-
ishing repairs. Refer to EC-44, "
Idle Air Volume Learning" .

CAUTION:

Be careful not to damage the air fuel ratio A/F sensors

Discard any air fuel ratio A/F sensor which has been
dropped from a height of more than 0.5m (19.7 in) onto a
hard surface such as a concrete floor. Replace it with a
new one.

e. Remove the exhaust studs from positions 2, 4, 6, 8 and remove the right exhaust manifold.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Surface Distortion

Use a reliable straightedge and feeler gauge to check the flat-
ness of each exhaust manifold flange surface.

If flatness exceeds the limit, replace the exhaust manifold.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

Install a new exhaust manifold gasket with the top of the triangu-
lar up mark on it facing up and its coated face (gray side) toward
the exhaust manifold side.Tool number : — (J-44626)

Tighten the exhaust manifold nuts in the numerical order shown.
Then recheck the torque of the nuts.

Before installing new air fuel ration A/F sensors, clean the exhaust system threads using Tool and apply
anti-seize lubricant.
