LASER BEAM AIMING ADJUSTMENT
Revision: 2004 November 2004 FX35/FX45

The area is not suitable for the adjustment work.

ICC sensor is not clean.
8. After the CONSULT-II displays “ADJUST THE VERTICAL OF
LASER” turn the up-down direction adjusting screw until “U/D
CORRECT” value is set in the range of ±4.
CAUTION:
Turn the screw slowly. The value change on display is
slower than actual movement of the ICC sensor. Wait for 2
seconds every time the screw is turned half a rotation.
NOTE:
Turning the screw to the right lowers the aiming and to the left
lifts the aiming.
9. When “U/D CORRECT” value indicates ±4, confirm that the margin of value remains within ±4 at least for
2 seconds with no equipment or hand touching the ICC sensor.
When “COMPLETED THE VERTICAL AIMING OF LASER
BEAM” appears on screen, touch “END”.
CAUTION:
Be sure that the margin of “U/D CORRECT” is within ±4 with
ICC sensor unit is untouched.
10. Confirm that “ADJUSTING AUTOMATIC HORIZONTAL LASER
BEAM AIMING” is on screen and wait for a while (maximum: 10
seconds).

pressure at real-time to achieve the best gear ratio.
Lock-up ControlACS002LK
The torque converter clutch piston in the torque converter is engaged to eliminate torque converter slip to
increase power transmission efficiency.
The torque converter clutch control valve operation is controlled by the torque converter clutch solenoid valve,
which is controlled by a signal from TCM, and the torque converter clutch control valve engages or releases
the torque converter clutch piston.

Lock-up Released

In the lock-up released state, the torque converter clutch control valve is set into the unlocked state by the
torque converter clutch solenoid and the lock-up apply pressure is drained.
In this way, the torque converter clutch piston is not coupled.

CONSULT-IIACS007AI
After performing AT- 1 0 3 , "Diagnostic Procedure Without CONSULT-II" , place check marks for results on the
AT- 4 6 , "
DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET" . Reference pages are provided following the items.
NOTICE:
1. The CONSULT-II electrically displays shift timing and lock-up timing (that is operation timing of each sole-
noid).
Check for time difference between actual shift timing and the CONSULT-II display. If the difference is
noticeable, mechanical parts (except solenoids, sensors, etc.) may be malfunctioning. Check mechanical
parts using applicable diagnostic procedures.
2. Shift schedule (which implies gear position) displayed on CONSULT-II and that indicated in Service Man-
ual may differ slightly. This occurs because of the following reasons:
–Actual shift schedule has more or less tolerance or allowance,
–Shift schedule indicated in Service Manual refers to the point where shifts start, and
–Gear position displayed on CONSULT-II indicates the point where shifts are completed.
3. Display of solenoid valves on CONSULT-II changes at the start of shifting, while gear position is displayed
upon completion of shifting (which is computed by TCM).
4. Additional CONSULT-II information can be found in the Operation Manual supplied with the CONSULT-II
unit.

Operation
1. Operation Control Valve
–By changing high-pressure valve lift amount, built-in compressor control valve executes the following:
 Controls high-pressure valve discharge amount.
 Changes crankcase pressure in compressor.
 Changes angle of wobble (swash) plate.
–Amount of high-pressure valve loft is determined by factors below.
 Low-pressure applied to diaphragm
 Spring load of set spring
 Balance of magnetic force generated in magnet coil
–Electronic control valve (ECV) magnet coil receives electric signal (duty control) from unified meter and A/
C amp. (Auto amp.) Then, magnetic force generated by electric current is changed to control high-pres-
sure valve lift amount.
2. Maximum Cooling
High-pressure valve is closed by magnetic force generated by electric signal sent from unified meter and
A/C amp. At this time, cylinder moves full stroke due to pressure balance between inside crankcase (Pc)
and suction line (Ps).
Under this condition, the wobble (swash) plate is set to the maximum stroke position.
3. Capacity Control
When no electric signal is sent from unified meter and A/C amp. (current: OFF), high-pressure valve is
opened by spring force.
Since suction pressure is low, it makes the suction port close and the discharge port open. Thus, crank-
case pressure becomes high as high-pressure enters the crankcase.
–The force acts around the journal pin near the wobble (swash) plate, and is generated by the pressure dif-
ference before and behind the piston.
–The drive lug and journal pin are located where the piston generates the highest pressure. Piston pres-
sure is between suction pressure Ps and discharge pressure Pd, which is near suction pressure Ps. If
crankcase pressure Pc rises due to capacity control, the force around the journal pin makes the wobble
(swash) plate angle decrease and also the piston stroke decrease. In other words, crankcase pressure

AUXILIARY MECHANISM: TEMPERATURE SETTING TRIMMER
The trimmer compensates for differences in range of ±3°C (±6°F) between temperature setting (displayed dig-
itally) and temperature felt by driver.
Operating procedures for this trimmer are as follows:
1. Begin Self-diagnosis STEP-5 mode. Refer to AT C - 5 3 , "
Self-diagnosis Function" .
2. Press (fan) UP switch to set system in auxiliary mode.
3. Display shows 61 in auxiliary mechanism. It takes approximately 3 seconds.
4. Press temperature switch (driver side) as desired. Temperature will change at a rate of 0.5°C (1.0°F) each
time a switch is pressed.
CAUTION:
A decimal point is not indicated when the display shows “°C”.
When battery cable is disconnected, trimmer operation is canceled. Temperature set becomes that of initial
condition, i.e. 0°C (0°F).

Sunload Sensor CircuitAJS00156
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Sunload Sensor
The sunload sensor is located on the passenger side front defroster
grille. It detects sunload entering through windshield by means of a
photo diode. The sensor converts the sunload into a current value
which is then input into the unified meter and A/C amp.
SUNLOAD INPUT PROCESS
The unified meter and A/C amp. also includes a processing circuit which averages the variations in detected
sunload over a period of time. This prevents drastic swings in the ATC system operation due to small or quick
variations in detected sunload.
For example, consider driving along a road bordered by an occasional group of large trees. The sunload
detected by the sunload sensor will vary whenever the trees obstruct the sunlight. The processing circuit aver-
ages the detected sunload over a period of time, so that the (insignificant) effect of the trees momentarily
obstructing the sunlight does not cause any change in the ATC system operation. On the other hand, shortly
after entering a long tunnel, the system will recognize the change in sunload, and the system will react accord-
ingly.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR SUNLOAD SENSOR
SYMPTOM: Sunload sensor circuit is open or shorted. (25 or −25 is
indicated on unified meter and A/C amp. as a result of performing
Self-diagnosis STEP-2.)
1. CHECK VOLTAGE BETWEEN SUNLOAD SENSOR AND GROUND
1. Disconnect sunload sensor connector.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Check voltage between sunload sensor harness connector M87
terminal 1 (LG) and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> GO TO 4.
