Removal and InstallationEBS00REF
CAUTION:

When removing water pump, be careful not to get engine coolant on drive belt.

Water pump cannot be disassembled and should be replaced as a unit.
REMOVAL
1. Drain engine coolant so that no engine coolant comes out from water pump fitting hole. Refer to CO-11,
"DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT" .
CAUTION:
Perform when the engine is cold.
2. Remove the engine front undercover using power tool.
3. Remove the air duct and resonator assembly. Refer to EM-15, "
Removal and Installation" .
4. Remove the drive belt. Refer to EM-13, "
Removal and Installation" .
5. Remove the water pump pulley.
6. Remove the water pump.

Engine coolant will leak from the cylinder block, so have a receptacle ready below.
CAUTION:
Handle water pump vane so that it does not contact any other parts.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Visually check that there is no significant dirt or rust on the water
pump body and vane.

Make sure there is no looseness in the vane shaft, and that it
turns smoothly when rotated by hand.

Replace the water pump, if necessary.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

2006 QX56

After installation bleed the air from the cooling system. Refer to CO-11, "REFILLING ENGINE COOLANT"
.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Check for leaks of engine coolant. Refer to CO-10, "CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS" .

Start and warm up engine. Visually check for leaks of the engine coolant.

through 10A fuse [No.14, located in the fuse block (J/B)]

to combination meter terminal 24.
With the ignition switch in the ACC or ON position, power is supplied

through 10A fuse [No.4, located in the fuse block (J/B)]

to combination meter terminal 1.
Ground is supplied

to combination meter terminal 17

through body grounds M57, M61 and M79.
WATER TEMPERATURE GAUGE
The water temperature gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature.
ECM provides an engine coolant temperature signal to combination meter via CAN communication lines.
ENGINE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
The engine oil pressure gauge indicates the engine oil pressure.
The engine oil pressure gauge is regulated by the unified meter control unit and input from the oil pressure
sensor.
A/T OIL TEMPERATURE GAUGE
The A/T oil temperature gauge indicates the A/T fluid temperature.
TCM (transmission control module) provides an A/T fluid temperature signal to combination meter via CAN
communication lines.
V O LTA G E G A U G E
The voltage gauge indicates the battery/charging system voltage.
The voltage gauge is regulated by the unified meter control unit.
TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm).
ECM provides an engine speed signal to combination meter via CAN communication lines.
FUEL GAUGE
The fuel gauge indicates the approximate fuel level in the fuel tank.
The fuel gauge is regulated by the unified meter control unit and a variable resistor signal supplied

to combination meter terminal 15.

through fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump terminal 2

through fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump terminal 5

from combination meter terminal 16
SPEEDOMETER
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) provides a vehicle speed signal to the combination meter via CAN
communication lines.
CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Refer to LAN-26, "CAN COMMUNICATION" .
