ACTION TEST
Revision: 2004 November 2004 FX35/FX45
Check For ON/OFF Switch
1. Start the engine.Then, check the following operations are car-
ried correctly.
2. Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is displayed in speed-
ometer illuminates when ON/OFF switch is pressed “ON” for
less than 1.5 seconds and ready for operation.The illumination
goes off when ON/OFF switch is turned to OFF.
3. “CRUISE” illumination and ICC system display go off when the
key switch is turned to OFF while ON/OFF switch is ON
(“CRUISE” illumination is ON and vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode is ready for operation).
Check For ACCEL/RES, COAST/SET, CANCEL Switches
1. Check if ACCEL/RES, COAST/SET, CANCEL switches are operated smoothly.
2. Check if buttons come up as hand is released from the buttons.
Check For Distance Switch
1. Start the engine.
2. Press the ON/OFF switch for less than 1.5 seconds.
3. Press the DISTANCE switch.
4. Check if the set distance indicator changes display in order of:
(long)→(middle)→(short).
NOTE:
The set distance indicator shows 'long' immediately after the engine starts.
CONVENTIONAL (FIXED SPEED) CRUISE CONTROL MODE
Set Checking
1. Press the ON/OFF switch for more than 1.5 seconds.
2. Drive the vehicle between 25 MPH (40 km/h for CANADA models) and 90 MPH (144 km/h for CANADA
models).
3. Push the COAST/SET switch.
4. Confirm that the desired speed is set as hand is released from the COAST/SET switch.
NOTE:

ICC system display in the combination meters shows nothing.

Check For Increase Of The Cruising Speed
1. Set the conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode at desired speed.
2. Check if the set speed increases by 1 MPH (1.6 km/h for CANADA models) as ACCEL/RES switch is
pushed.
NOTE:

If the ACCEL/RES switch is kept lifting up during cruise control driving, the vehicle speed increases until
the switch is released.

The maximum set speed is 90 MPH (144 km/h for CANADA models).
Check For Decrease Of The Cruising Speed
1. Set the conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode at desired speed.
2. Check if the set speed decreases by 1 MPH (1.6 km/h for CANADA models) as COAST/SET switch is
pushed.
NOTE:

Conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode is automatically turned off when the driving speed lowers
to 20 MPH (32 km/h for CANADA models) due to the deceleration of the vehicle ahead.

The lowest set speed is 25 MPH (40 km/h for CANADA models).
Check For The Cancellation Of Conventional (Fixed Speed) Cruise Control Mode (Normal
Driving Condition) In The Following Cases:
Refer.toACS-9, "Check For The Cancellation Of Vehicle-To-Vehicle Distance Control Mode (Normal Driving
Condition) In The Following Cases:"
Check For Restoring The Speed That Is Set By Conventional (Fixed Speed) Cruise Control
Mode Before ICC Cancellation
Refer to.ACS-9, "Check For Restoring The Speed That Is Set By Vehicle-To-Vehicle Distance Control Mode
Before Cancellation"
Check For ON/OFF Switch
1. Start the engine.Then, check the following operations are car-
ried correctly.
2. “CRUISE” lamp (green) illuminates and ICC system indicator
goes off when ON/OFF switch is pressed “ON” for more than 1.5
seconds, and then ready for operation. The illumination goes off
when ON/OFF switch is turned to OFF.
3. “CRUISE” illumination go off when the key switch is turned to
OFF while ON/OFF switch is ON.
Check For ACCEL/ RES, COAST/SET, CANCEL Switches
1. Check if ACCEL/RES, COAST/SET, CANCEL switches are operated smoothly.
2. Check if buttons come up as hand is released from the buttons.

LASER BEAM AIMING ADJUSTMENT
Revision: 2004 November 2004 FX35/FX45
LASER BEAM AIMING ADJUSTMENTPFP:00026
OutlineAKS006YI
Adjust the laser beam aiming every time the ICC sensor is removed or installed.
CAUTION:

Place the vehicle on the level ground when the laser beam aiming adjustment is operated.

Follow the CONSULT-II when adjusting the Laser beam aiming (Laser beam aiming adjustment
cannot be operated without CONSULT-II).
PreparationAKS006YJ

Keep all tires inflated to correct pressures. Adjust the tire pressure to the specified pressure value.

See that there is no-load in vehicle other than the driver (or equivalent weight placed in driver's position).
Coolant, engine oil filled up to correct level and full fuel tank.

Shift the gear into “P” position and release the parking brake.

Clean the sensor with a soft cloth.
Outline of Adjustment ProcedureAKS006YK
1. Set up the ICC target board [KV99110100 (J-45718)].
2. Adjust the sensor following the procedure on CONSULT-II (Turn manually the screw for up-down position
adjustment. ICC sensor automatically adjust the right-left position.).
Setting the ICC Target BoardAKS006YL
Accurate ICC target board setting is required for the laser beam aiming adjustment.
CAUTION:
ICC system does not function normally if laser beam aiming is not accurate.
ADJUSTING HEIGHT OF THE TARGET
1. Attach a triangle scale as shown in the right figure.
