DTC P1574 ICC VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR
2004 QX56
DTC P1574 ICC VEHICLE SPEED SENSORPFP:31036
Component DescriptionUBS00HZ6
The ECM receives two vehicle speed signals via CAN communication line. One is sent from “unified meter and
A/C amp.”, and the other is from TCM (Transmission control module). The ECM uses these signals for ICC
control. Refer to ACS-6, "
DESCRIPTION" for ICC functions.
On Board Diagnosis LogicUBS00HZ7

This self-diagnosis has the one trip detection logic.

The MIL will not light up for this self-diagnosis.
NOTE:

If DTC P1574 is displayed with DTC U1000, U1001, first perform the trouble diagnosis for DTC
U1000, U1001. Refer to EC-135, "
DTC U1000, U1001 CAN COMMUNICATION LINE" .

If DTC P1574 is displayed with DTC P0500, first perform the trouble diagnosis for DTC P0500.

WAR NIN G:

Situate vehicle on a flat and solid surface.

Place chocks at front and back of rear wheels.

For engines not equipped with engine slingers, attach proper slingers and bolts described in
PARTS CATALOG.
CAUTION:

Always be careful to work safely, avoid forceful or uninstructed operations.

Do not start working until exhaust system and engine coolant are cooled sufficiently.

If items or work required are not covered by the engine section, refer to the applicable sections.

Always use the support point specified for lifting.

Use either 2-point lift type or separate type lift. If board-on type is used for unavoidable reasons,
support at the rear axle jacking point with transmission jack or similar tool before starting work, in
preparation for the backward shift of center of gravity.

For supporting points for lifting and jacking point at rear axle, refer to GI-40, "Garage Jack and
Safety Stand" .

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Before starting engine, check the levels of engine coolant, engine oil and working fluid. If less than
required quantity, fill to the specified level.

Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.

Turn ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel
leakage at connection points.

Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.

Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.

Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of engine coolant, engine oil, working fluid,
fuel and exhaust gas.

Bleed air from passages in pipes and tubes of applicable lines, such as in cooling system.

After cooling down engine, again check amounts of engine coolant, engine oil and working fluid. Refill to
specified level, if necessary.

enough for supporting the engine weight.

Before removing the hanging chains, make sure the engine stand is stable and there is no risk
of overturning.

If the load capacity of the stand is not adequate, remove the following parts beforehand to reduce the
potential risk of overturning the stand.
