Revision: November 2009 2006 QX56

Check with the manufacturer of your specific alignment machine for their recommended Service/Cali-
bration Schedule.
THE ALIGNMENT PROCESS
IMPORTANT: Use only the alignment specifications listed in this Service Manual. Refer to RSU-48, "Wheel
Alignment" .
1. When displaying the alignment settings, many alignment machines use “indicators”: (Green/red, plus or
minus, Go/No Go). Do NOT use these indicators.

The alignment specifications programmed into your alignment machine that operate these indicators
may not be correct.

This may result in an ERROR.
2. Some newer alignment machines are equipped with an optional “Rolling Compensation” method to “com-
pensate ” the sensors (alignment targets or head units). Do NOT use this “Rolling Compensation”
method.

Use the “Jacking Compensation ” method. After installing the alignment targets or head units, raise the
vehicle and rotate the wheels 1/2 turn both ways.

See Instructions in the alignment machine you are using for more information.
CAMBER
1. Measure camber of both the right and left wheels with a suitable alignment gauge and adjust as necessary to specification.
2. If outside of the specified value, adjust the camber using the adjusting bolt in the front lower link.
CAUTION:
After adjusting the camber then check the toe-in.
NOTE:
Camber changes about 0 ° 5' with each graduation of the adjust-
ing bolt.
3. Tighten the adjusting bolt nuts to specification.
TOE-IN
1. Bounce the rear of the vehicle up and down two to three times to stabilize the vehicle height. Refer to RSU-49, "
Wheelarch Height (Unladen*1 )" .
2. Push the vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).
3. Put a mark on the base line of the tread (rear side) of both of the tires at the same height as the center of the hub. This will be the
measuring points.
4. Measure the distance “A” (rear side) across from tire to tire.
Camber : Refer to
RSU-48, "
Wheel Alignment" .

Revision: November 20092006 QX56
5. Push the vehicle slowly ahead to rotate the wheels 180° (a half
turn).
If the wheels are rotated more than 180 ° (a half turn), then
repeat the above steps. Never push the vehicle backward.
6. Measure the distance “B” (front side) across from tire to tire.
7. If the toe-in is outside the specified value, adjust the toe-in using the adjusting bolt in the rear lower link.
CAUTION:
Be sure to adjust equally on RH and LH sides using the
adjusting bolt.
NOTE:
Toe changes about 1.5 mm (0.059 in) [one side] with each grad-
uation of the adjusting bolt.
8. Tighten the adjusting bolt nuts to specification. Total toe-in : Refer to
RSU-48, "

ALL-MODE 4WD SYSTEM
Revision: November 20092006 QX56
4WD mode. Setting the vehicle in the 2WD mode requires no pressure buildup. In other words, pressure force
applied to the wet-multiplate clutch becomes zero.
CLUTCH PRESSURE SOLENOID VALVE
The clutch pressure solenoid valve distributes torque (front and rear) in AUTO mode.
LINE PRESSURE SWITCH

With the transfer system design, control of the oil pressure provides the transmission of drive torque to the
front wheels. The main pressure to control the oil pressure is referred to as the line pressure.

The line pressure switch determines whether or not adequate line pressure has built up under different
operating conditions.

The line pressure switch turns ON when line pressure is produced.

The line pressure switch senses line pressure abnormalities and turns the 4WD warning lamp ON.
CLUTCH PRESSURE SWITCH

The clutch pressure switch determines whether or not adequate clutch pressure has built up under differ-
ent operating conditions.

The clutch pressure switch turns ON when clutch pressure is produced.

The clutch pressure switch senses clutch pressure abnormalities and turns the 4WD warning lamp ON.
TRANSFER FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The transfer temperature sensor detects the transfer fluid temperature and sends a signal to the transfer con-
trol unit.
TRANSFER CONTROL UNIT

Transfer control unit controls transfer control device by input signals of each sensor and each switch.

Self-diagnosis can be done.
TRANSFER CONTROL DEVICE
The transfer control device changes the state of transfer assembly between 2WD, AUTO, 4H⇔4LO with the
2WD, AUTO, 4H and 4LO signals of 4WD shift switch.
NOTE:

To shift between 4H ⇔4LO, stop the vehicle, depress the brake pedal and shift the transmission selector
to the "N" position. Depress and turn the 4WD shift switch. The shift switch will not shift to the desired
mode if the transmission is not in "N" or the vehicle is moving. The 4LO indicator lamp will be lit when the
4LO is engaged.

Actuator motor and actuator position switch are integrated.
4WD SHIFT SWITCH AND INDICATOR LAMP
4WD Shift Switch
The 4WD shift switch allows selection from 2WD, AUTO, 4H or 4LO.
4WD Shift Indicator Lamp

Displays driving conditions selected by 4WD shift switch with 2WD, AUTO and 4H indicators while engine
is running. (When 4WD warning lamp is turned on, all 4WD shift indicator lamps are turned off.)

Turns ON for approximately 1 second when ignition switch is turned ON, for purpose of lamp check.
4LO Indicator Lamp

Displays 4LO condition while engine is running. 4LO indicator lamp flashes if transfer gear does not shift
completely under 2WD, AUTO, 4H ⇔4LO. (When 4WD warning lamp is turned on, 4LO indicator lamp is
turned off.)

Turns ON for approximately 1 second when ignition switch is turned ON, for purpose of lamp check.
