1. Bounce the front of vehicle up and down to stabilize the vehicle height (posture).
2. Push the vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).
3. Put a mark on base line of the tread (rear side) of both front tires
at the same height as hub center as shown. These marks are
measuring points.
4. Measure the distance “A” on the rear side of the front tires as
shown.
5. Push the vehicle slowly ahead to rotate the wheels 180°
degrees (1/2 a turn).
CAUTION:
If the wheels have rotated more than 180° degrees (1/2
turn), start this procedure again from the beginning. Never
push the vehicle backward.
6. Measure the distance “B” on the front side of the front tires at the
same marks as shown. Total toe-in is calculated as “A” – “B”.
7. Adjust the toe-in by varying the length of the steering outer
socket.
a. Loosen the outer tie-rod lock nuts.
b. Adjust the toe-in by screwing the outer tie-rods in or out.
c. Tighten the outer tie-rod lock nuts to specification.
FRONT WHEEL TURNING ANGLE
NOTE:
Check front wheel turning angle after the toe-in inspection.
1. Place front wheels on turning radius gauges in straight ahead
position and rear wheels on stands so that vehicle can be level.
Check the maximum inner and outer wheel turning angles for LH
and RH road wheels.
2. Start engine and run at idle, turn steering wheel all the way right
and left, measure the turning angle.

Any turning angles are not adjustable. If any of steering
angles are out of the specification, check if the following parts
are worn or damaged.
–Steering gear
–Steering column
–Front suspension components

PRECAUTIONS
Revision: October 20052005 QX56
Precautions for Multiport Fuel Injection System or Engine Control SystemEAS001FA

Before connecting or disconnecting any harness connector for
the multiport fuel injection system or ECM:
Turn ignition switch to “OFF” position.
Disconnect negative battery terminal.
Otherwise, there may be damage to ECM.

Before disconnecting pressurized fuel line from fuel pump to
injectors, be sure to release fuel pressure.

Be careful not to jar components such as ECM and mass air
flow sensor.
Precautions for HosesEAS001FB
HOSE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

To prevent damage to rubber hose, do not pry off rubber hose
with tapered tool or screwdriver.

To reinstall the rubber hose securely, make sure of hose inser-
tion length and clamp orientation. (If tube is equipped with hose
stopper, insert rubber hose into tube until it butts up against
hose stopper.)
HOSE CLAMPING

If old rubber hose is re-used, install hose clamp in its original
position (at the indentation where the old clamp was). If there is
a trace of tube bulging left on the old rubber hose, align rubber
hose at that position.

Discard old clamps; replace with new ones.

to BCM terminal 70.
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied

to ignition relay, located in the IPDM E/R, and

through 10A fuse (No. 59, located in the fuse and relay box)

to BCM terminal 38.
Ground is supplied

to BCM terminal 67

through grounds M57, M61 and M79, and

to IPDM E/R terminals 38 and 59

through grounds E9, E15 and E24.
Low Beam Operation
With the lighting switch in 2ND position, the BCM receives input requesting the headlamps to illuminate. This
input is communicated to the IPDM E/R across the CAN communication lines. The CPU of the IPDM E/R con-
trols the headlamp low relay coil. When energized, this relay directs power

through 15A fuse (No. 41, located in the IPDM E/R)

through IPDM E/R terminal 54

to front combination lamp RH terminal 5, and

through 15A fuse (No. 40, located in the IPDM E/R)

through IPDM E/R terminal 52

to front combination lamp LH terminal 5.
Ground is supplied

to front combination lamp LH and RH terminal 1

through grounds E9, E15 and E24.
With power and ground supplied, low beam headlamps illuminate.
High Beam Operation/Flash-to-Pass Operation
With the lighting switch in 2ND position and placed in HIGH or PASS position, the BCM receives input request-
ing the headlamp high beams to illuminate. This input is communicated to the IPDM E/R across the CAN com-
munication lines. The CPU of the combination meter controls the ON/OFF status of the HIGH BEAM indicator.
The CPU of the IPDM E/R controls the headlamp high relay coil. When energized, this relay directs power

through 10A fuse (No. 34, located in the IPDM E/R)

through IPDM E/R terminal 56

to front combination lamp RH terminal 6, and

through 10A fuse (No. 35, located in the IPDM E/R)

through IPDM E/R terminal 55

to front combination lamp LH terminal 6.
Ground is supplied

to front combination lamp LH and RH terminal 2

through grounds E9, E15 and E24.
With power and ground supplied, the high beam headlamps illuminate.
XENON HEADLAMP
Xenon type headlamp is adopted to the low beam headlamps. Xenon bulbs do not use a filament. Instead,
they produce light when a high voltage current is passed between two tungsten electrodes through a mixture
of xenon (an inert gas) and certain other metal halides. In addition to added lighting power, electronic control
of the power supply gives the headlamps stable quality and tone color.
Following are some of the many advantages of the xenon type headlamp.

The light produced by the headlamps is a white color comparable to sunlight that is easy on the eyes.

Light output is nearly double that of halogen headlamps, affording increased area of illumination.

The light features a high relative spectral distribution at wavelengths to which the human eye is most sen-
sitive. This means that even in the rain, more light is reflected back from the road surface toward the vehi-
cle, for added visibility.

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Check for damage to steering column jacket tube. If damage is found, replace steering column with new
one.

If vehicle has been in a collision, check column length “L1” and
“L2” as shown. If out of specification, replace steering column
with new one.

Check for proper lubrication, apply grease as necessary.

ASSEMBLY

Assembly is in the reverse order of disassembly.

Install new tamper resistant self-shear screws.
INSPECTION AFTER ASSEMBLY
When the steering wheel does not turn smoothly, check the steering column as follows:
1. Check the column bearings for damage or unevenness. Lubricate with recommended multi-purpose
grease. Replace the steering column as an assembly, if necessary.
2. Check the column tube for deformation or breakage. Replace the steering column as an assembly, if nec-
essary.
3. If the vehicle has been involved in a collision, or if noise and rat-
tles are heard during a turn, check the length "L" of the column.
If out of specification, replace the steering column as an assem-
bly.
4. Check for proper lubrication, apply grease as necessary.
5. Check for wear around the seal edges, replace the steering col-
umn as an assembly as necessary.
6. Check for corrosion or pitting around the seal sliding area.
7. After installing the steering column, check the tilt mechanism for
proper operation.
CAUTION:

Replace the column if it is depleted of grease, worn, dam-
aged, or if any scratches or coating separation is present
on the shaft seal area.

During lower joint detachment, insert a tool into the yoke
groove to prevent gouging damage.
