2005 QX56
7. Remove fuel pump fuse in fuse block No. 1 to release fuel pres-
sure.
NOTE:
Do not use CONSULT-II to release fuel pressure, or fuel pres-
sure applies again during the following procedure.
8. Start engine.
9. After engine stalls, crank it two or three times to release all fuel
pressure.
10. Turn ignition switch OFF.
11. Remove all ignition coil harness connectors to avoid the electri-
cal discharge from the ignition coils.
12. Remove ignition coil and spark plug of the cylinder to be checked.
13. Crank engine for 5 seconds or more to remove combustion gas in the cylinder.
14. Connect spark plug and harness connector to ignition coil.
15. Fix ignition coil using a rope etc. with gap of 13 - 17 mm
between the edge of the spark plug and grounded metal portion
as shown in the figure.
16. Crank engine for about 3 seconds, and check whether spark is
generated between the spark plug and the grounded metal por-
tion.
CAUTION:
Do not approach to the spark plug and the ignition coil
within 50cm. Be careful not to get an electrical shock
while checking, because the electrical discharge voltage
becomes 20kV or more.
It might cause to damage the ignition coil if the gap of more than 17 mm is taken.
NOTE:
When the gap is less than 13 mm, the spark might be generated even if the coil is malfunctioning.
17. If NG, replace ignition coil with power transistor.
CONDENSER
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect condenser harness connector.
3. Check resistance between condenser terminals 1 and 2.

PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Drain Engine CoolantEBS00LLK
Drain engine coolant when engine is cooled.
Precautions for Disconnecting Fuel PipingEBS00LLL
Before starting work, make sure no fire or spark producing items are in the work area.
Release fuel pressure before disconnecting and disassembly.
After disconnecting pipes, plug openings to stop fuel leakage.
Precautions for Removal and DisassemblyEBS00LLM
When instructed to use special service tools, use the specified tools. Always be careful to work safely,
avoid forceful or uninstructed operations.
Exercise maximum care to avoid damage to mating or sliding surfaces.
Cover openings of engine system with tape or the equivalent, if necessary, to seal out foreign materials.
Mark and arrange disassembly parts in an organized way for easy troubleshooting and assembly.
When loosening nuts and bolts, as a basic rule, start with the one furthest outside, then the one diagonally
opposite, and so on. If the order of loosening is specified, do exactly as specified. Power tools may be
used where noted in the step.
Precautions for Inspection, Repair and ReplacementEBS00LLN
Before repairing or replacing, thoroughly inspect parts. Inspect new replacement parts in the same way, and
replace if necessary.
Precautions for Assembly and InstallationEBS00LLO
Use torque wrench to tighten bolts or nuts to specification.
When tightening nuts and bolts, as a basic rule, equally tighten in several different steps starting with the
ones in center, then ones on inside and outside diagonally in this order. If the order of tightening is speci-
fied, do exactly as specified.
Replace with new gasket, packing, oil seal or O-ring.
Thoroughly wash, clean, and air-blow each part. Carefully check engine oil or engine coolant passages for
any restriction and blockage.
Avoid damaging sliding or mating surfaces. Completely remove foreign materials such as cloth lint or dust.
Before assembly, oil sliding surfaces well.
Release air within route when refilling after draining engine coolant.
Before starting engine, apply fuel pressure to fuel lines with turning ignition switch ON (with engine
stopped). Then make sure that there are no leaks at fuel line connections.
After repairing, start engine and increase engine speed to check engine coolant, fuel, oil, and exhaust
systems for leakage.
Parts Requiring Angular TighteningEBS00LLP
For final tightening of the following engine parts use Tool:
–Cylinder head bolts
–Main bearing cap bolts
–Connecting rod cap bolts
–Crankshaft pulley bolt (No angle wrench is required as the bolt flange is provided with notches for angle
tightening)
Do not use a torque value for final tightening.
The torque value for these parts are for a preliminary step.
Ensure thread and seat surfaces are clean and lightly coated with engine oil. Tool number : KV10112100 (BT-8653-A)

Checking Drive BeltsEBS00LLW
WAR NIN G:
Be sure to perform when the engine is stopped.
1. Remove the air duct and resonator assembly when inspecting drive belt. Refer to EM-14
.
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 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 AdjustmentEBS00LLX
Belt tensioning is not necessary, as it is automatically adjusted by the auto tensioner.
Removal and InstallationEBS00LLY
DRIVE BELT
Removal
1. Remove the air duct and resonator assembly. Refer to EM-14 .
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 holding tool accidentally comes off.
3. Remove the drive belt.

INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
Tighten the intake manifold bolts in numerical order as shown.
Install the EVAP canister purge control solenoid valve connector with it facing front of engine.
Tighten the electronic throttle control actuator bolts of the electric throttle control actuator equally and
diagonally in several steps.
After installation perform procedure in EM-18, "INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION" .
Install the water hose so that its overlap width for connection is between 27 mm (1.06 in) and 32 mm (1.26
in) (target: 27 mm 1.06 in).
Connecting Quick Connector of Fuel Tube
Install quick connector as follows (the steps are the same for quick connectors on both engine side and vehi-
cle side except for the quick connector cap).
1. Make sure no foreign substances are deposited in and around tube and quick connector, and they are not
damaged.
2. Thinly apply new engine oil around the fuel tube from tip end to the spool end.
3. Align center to insert quick connector straight into fuel tube.
Insert until the paint mark for engagement identification
(white) goes completely inside quick connector so that you
cannot see it from the straight side of the connected part. Use
a mirror to check this where it is not possible to view directly
from the straight side, such as quick connector on vehicle
side.
Insert fuel tube into quick connector until top spool is com-
pletely inside quick connector, and 2nd level spool exposes
right below quick connector on engine side.
CAUTION:
Hold "A" position in illustration when inserting fuel
tube into quick connector.
Carefully align center to avoid inclined insertion to pre-
vent damage to O-ring inside quick connector.
Insert until you hear a “click” sound and actually feel
the engagement.
To avoid misidentification of engagement with a similar
sound, be sure to perform the next step.
4. Pull quick connector by hand holding "A" position. Make sure it is completely engaged (connected) so that
it does not come out from fuel tube.
NOTE:
Recommended pulling force is 50 N (5.1 kg, 11.2 lb).
