LASER BEAM AIMING ADJUSTMENTPFP:00026
Outline of Laser Beam Aiming Adjustment ProcedureEKS007TI
CAUTION:

The laser beam aiming adjustment cannot be performed without CONSULT-II.

The laser beam aiming adjustment must be performed every time the ICC sensor is removed,
installed or has been moved as a result of a collision.
1. Prepare the vehicle and the work area.
2. Set up the ICC target board.
3. Adjust the sensor following the procedure on CONSULT-II.
4. Check system operation after the adjustment.
PreparationEKS007PC

Place the vehicle on level ground. Shift the transmission into "P" position and release the parking brake.

Adjust the tire pressure to the specified value.

See that there is no load in the vehicle. Coolant, engine oil and fuel should be filled to correct level.

Check that the vehicle suspension has been adjusted to the standard height by the load leveling rear air
suspension system. Refer to RSU-12, "
Basic Inspection" .

Clean the ICC sensor with a soft cloth.
Setting up the ICC Target BoardEKS007PE
CAUTION:
Accuracy in setting up the ICC target board is essential for the laser beam aiming adjustment.
ADJUSTING HEIGHT OF THE ICC TARGET BOARD
1. Attach a triangle scale as shown.Tool number : KV99110100 (J-45718)

InspectionEBS00I4W
LEVEL CHECK

Check if the engine coolant reservoir tank level is within MIN to
MAX level when engine is cool.

Adjust engine coolant level as necessary.
CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
WAR NIN G:
Never remove the radiator or reservoir cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from
high-pressure engine coolant escaping from the radiator or reservoir.

To check for leakage, apply pressure to the cooling system at
the reservoir filler neck using suitable tool and Tool.
CAUTION:
Higher pressure than specified may cause radiator damage.
NOTE:
In case that engine coolant decreases, replenish cooling system
with engine coolant.

If any concerns are found, repair or replace damaged parts.
CHECKING RESERVOIR CAP

Check reservoir cap relief pressure using suitable tool and Tool.
NOTE:
Apply engine coolant to the cap seal.

Replace the reservoir cap if there is any damage in the nega-
tive-pressure valve, or if the open-valve pressure is outside of
the limit.
CHECKING RADIATOR CAP
Inspect the radiator cap.
NOTE:
Thoroughly wipe out the radiator filler neck to remove any waxy residue or foreign material.

Replace the cap if the metal plunger cannot be seen around the edge of the black rubber gasket.

Replace the cap if deposits of waxy residue or other foreign material are on the black rubber gasket or the
metal retainer.

ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM
2004 QX56

The time required for each diagnosis varies with road surface conditions, weather, altitude, individual driv-
ing habits, etc.
Zone A refers to the range where the time, required for the diagnosis under normal conditions*, is the
shortest.
Zone B refers to the range where the diagnosis can still be performed if the diagnosis is not completed
within zone A.
*: Normal conditions refer to the following:

Sea level

Flat road

Ambient air temperature: 20 - 30°C (68 - 86°F)

Diagnosis is performed as quickly as possible under normal conditions.
Under different conditions [For example: ambient air temperature other than 20 - 30°C (68 - 86°F)], diag-
nosis may also be performed.
Pattern 1:

The engine is started at the engine coolant temperature of −10 to 35°C (14 to 95°F)
(where the voltage between the ECM terminal 73 and ground is 3.0 - 4.3V).

The engine must be operated at idle speed until the engine coolant temperature is greater than
70°C (158°F) (where the voltage between the ECM terminal 73 and ground is lower than 1.4V).

The engine is started at the fuel tank temperature of warmer than 0°C (32°F) (where the voltage
between the ECM terminal 107 and ground is less than 4.1V).
Pattern 2:

When steady-state driving is performed again even after it is interrupted, each diagnosis can be con-
ducted. In this case, the time required for diagnosis may be extended.
Pattern 3:

Operate vehicle following the driving pattern shown in the figure.

Release the accelerator pedal during decelerating vehicle speed
from 90 km/h (56 MPH) to 0 km/h (0 MPH).
Pattern 4:

The accelerator pedal must be held very steady during steady-
state driving.

If the accelerator pedal is moved, the test must be conducted all
over again.
*1: Depress the accelerator pedal until vehicle speed is 90 km/h (56
MPH), then release the accelerator pedal and keep it released for
more than 10 seconds. Depress the accelerator pedal until vehicle
speed is 90 km/h (56 MPH) again.
*2: Checking the vehicle speed with GST is advised.
Suggested Transmission Gear Position
Set the selector lever in the D position.
TEST VALUE AND TEST LIMIT (GST ONLY — NOT APPLICABLE TO CONSULT-II)
The following is the information specified in Mode 6 of SAE J1979.
The test value is a parameter used to determine whether a system/circuit diagnostic test is OK or NG while
being monitored by the ECM during self-diagnosis. The test limit is a reference value which is specified as the
maximum or minimum value and is compared with the test value being monitored.
These data (test value and test limit) are specified by Test ID (TID) and Component ID (CID) and can be dis-
played on the GST screen.
