FIRE
PFP:00000
On Board Diagnosis LogicUBS00H3Q
When a misfire occurs, engine speed will fluctuate. If the engine speed fluctuates enough to cause the crank-
shaft position (CKP) sensor (POS) signal to vary, ECM can determine that a misfire is occurring.
The misfire detection logic consists of the following two conditions.
1. One Trip Detection Logic (Three Way Catalyst Damage)
On the first trip that a misfire condition occurs that can damage the three way catalyst (TWC) due to over-
heating, the MIL will blink.
When a misfire condition occurs, the ECM monitors the CKP sensor signal every 200 engine revolutions
for a change.
When the misfire condition decreases to a level that will not damage the TWC, the MIL will turn off.
If another misfire condition occurs that can damage the TWC on a second trip, the MIL will blink.
When the misfire condition decreases to a level that will not damage the TWC, the MIL will remain on.
If another misfire condition occurs that can damage the TWC, the MIL will begin to blink again.
2. Two Trip Detection Logic (Exhaust quality deterioration)
For misfire conditions that will not damage the TWC (but will affect vehicle emissions), the MIL will only
light when the misfire is detected on a second trip. During this condition, the ECM monitors the CKP sen-
sor signal every 1,000 engine revolutions.
A misfire malfunction can be detected on any one cylinder or on multiple cylinders.
DTC Confirmation ProcedureUBS00H3R
CAUTION:
Always drive vehicle in safe manner according to traffic conditions and obey all traffic laws when driv-
ing.
NOTE:
If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait at
least 10 seconds before conducting the next test.

COIL SPRING AND SHOCK ABSORBERPFP:56210
Removal and InstallationEES0010K
REMOVAL
1. Remove the wheel and tire using power tool.
2. Remove the shock absorber lower bolt using power tool.
3. Remove the three shock absorber upper mounting nuts using
power tool.
4. Remove the coil spring and shock absorber assembly.

Turn steering knuckle out to gain enough clearance for
removal.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

The step in the shock absorber assembly lower seat faces outside of vehicle.

Tighten all nuts and bolts to specification. Refer to FSU-5, "Components" .

When installing wheel and tire, refer to WT-6, "Rotation" .
Disassembly and AssemblyEES0010L
DISASSEMBLY
1. Set the shock absorber in a vise, then loosen (without removing)
the piston rod lock nut as shown.
CAUTION:
Do not remove piston rod lock nut at this time.
2. Compress the spring using commercial service tool until the
shock absorber mounting insulator can be turned by hand.
WAR NIN G:
Make sure that the pawls of the two spring compressors are
firmly hooked on the spring. The spring compressors must
be tightened alternately and evenly so as not to tilt the
spring.
3. Remove the piston rod lock nut.

Discard the piston rod lock nut, use a new nut for assembly.
INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Shock Absorber Assembly

Check for smooth operation through a full stroke, both compression and extension.

Check for oil leakage on welded or gland packing portions.

Check piston rod for cracks, deformation or other damage and replace if necessary.
Mounting Insulator and Rubber Parts
Check cemented rubber-to-metal portion for separation or cracks. Check rubber parts for deterioration and
replace if necessary.

GI
Revision: August 20072004 QX56

Use approved bonding agent, sealants or their equivalents when required.

Use hand tools, power tools (disassembly only) and recom-
mended special tools where specified for safe and efficient ser-
vice repairs.

When repairing the fuel, oil, water, vacuum or exhaust systems,
check all affected lines for leaks.

Before servicing the vehicle:
Protect fenders, upholstery and carpeting with appropriate cov-
ers.
Take caution that keys, buckles or buttons do not scratch paint.
WA RN ING:
To prevent ECM from storing the diagnostic trouble codes, do not carelessly disconnect the harness
connectors which are related to the engine control system and TCM (transmission control module)
system. The connectors should be disconnected only when working according to the WORK FLOW of
TROUBLE DIAGNOSES in EC and AT sections.
Precautions for Three Way CatalystEAS00149
If a large amount of unburned fuel flows into the catalyst, the catalyst temperature will be excessively high. To
prevent this, follow the instructions.

Use unleaded gasoline only. Leaded gasoline will seriously damage the three way catalyst.

When checking for ignition spark or measuring engine compression, make tests quickly and only when
necessary.

Do not run engine when the fuel tank level is low, otherwise the engine may misfire, causing damage to
the catalyst.
Do not place the vehicle on flammable material. Keep flammable material off the exhaust pipe and the three
way catalyst.
Precautions for Fuel (Unleaded Premium Gasoline Required)EAS001KH
Use unleaded premium gasoline with an octane rating of at least 91 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number (Research
octane number 96).
If unleaded premium gasoline is not available, unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87
AKI number (Research octane number 91) can be used, but only under the following precautions:

have the fuel tank filled only partially with unleaded regular gasoline, and fill up with unleaded premium
gasoline as soon as possible.

avoid full throttle driving and abrupt acceleration.
However, for maximum vehicle performance, the use of unleaded premium gasoline is recommended.
CAUTION:
Do not use leaded gasoline. Using leaded gasoline will damage the three way catalyst. Do not use E-85
fuel (85% fuel ethanol, 15% unleaded gasoline) unless the vehicle is specifically designed for E-85 fuel

Removal and Installation EES0011J
REMOVAL
1. Remove the wheel and tire assembly using power tool. Refer to WT-6, "Rotation" .
2. Use CONSULT-II “EXHAUST SOLENOID” active test to release the air pressure from the rear load level-
ing air suspension system.
3. Remove the four clips and remove the rear fender protector, front.
4. Disconnect the rear load leveling air suspension hose from the
shock absorber.

To disconnect the hose, push in on the lock ring using a suit-
able tool and pull the air hose out.
5. Remove the shock absorber upper and lower end bolts using
power tool.
6. Remove the shock absorber.
CAUTION:
Do not damage the rubber boot on the shock absorber.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

Tighten the shock absorber bolts to specification. Refer to RSU-25, "Components" .
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Check the shock absorber for any air leaks or damage to the rubber boot.

Check the shock absorber for smooth operation through a full stroke, both compression and extension.

Check piston rod for cracks, deformation or other damage and replace if necessary.
