DTC U1010 CAN COMMUNICATIONPFP:23710
DescriptionUBS00N8U
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.

ENGINE ASSEMBLY
2006 QX56

Loosen the bolts diagonally.
CAUTION:

Be careful not to damage the drive plate. Especially
avoid deforming and damaging of the signal plate teeth
(circumference position).

Place the drive plate with the signal plate surface fac-
ing other than downward.

Keep magnetic materials away from the signal plate.
CAUTION:
Use an engine stand that has a load capacity [approximately 240kg (529 lb) or more] large enough
for supporting the engine weight.

If the load capacity of the stand is not adequate, remove the following parts beforehand to
reduce the potential risk of overturning the stand.
–Remove the fuel tube and fuel injector assembly. Refer to EM-31, "Removal and Installation" .
–Remove the intake manifold. Refer to EM-17, "Removal and Installation" .
–Remove the ignition coil. Refer to EM-28, "Removal and Installation" .
–Remove the rocker cover. Refer to EM-35, "Removal and Installation" .
–Other removable brackets.
CAUTION:
Before removing the hanging chains, make sure the engine stand is stable and there is no risk of
overturning.
31. Remove the alternator. Refer to SC-25, "
REMOVAL" .
32. Remove the engine mounting insulator and bracket using power tool.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:

When replacing an engine or transmission you must make sure the dowels are installed correctly
during re-assembly.

Improper alignment caused by missing dowels may cause vibration, oil leaks or breakage of driv-
etrain components.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Before starting the engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If the levels are
lower than required quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-11, "
Fluids and Lubricants" .

Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.

Turn ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to the fuel piping, check for fuel
leakage at the connection points.

Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.

Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.

Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gas, or any oils/fluids includ-
ing engine oil and engine coolant.

Bleed air from passages in lines and hoses, such as in cooling system.

After cooling down the engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to
specified level if necessary.
