REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSORPFP:92136
Component DescriptionUBS00HDH
The refrigerant pressure sensor is installed at the liquid tank of the
air conditioner system. The sensor uses an electrostatic volume
pressure transducer to convert refrigerant pressure to voltage. The
voltage signal is sent to ECM, and ECM controls cooling fan system.

Checking Drive BeltsEBS00LLW
WAR NIN G:
Be sure to perform when the engine is stopped.
1. Remove the air duct and resonator assembly when inspecting drive belt. Refer to EM-14
.
2. Make sure that the indicator (single line notch) of each auto tensioner is within the allowable working
range (between three line notches).
NOTE:
Check the auto tensioner indication when the engine is cold.
When the new drive belt is installed, the range should be as shown.
The indicator notch is located on the moving side of the auto tensioner.
3. Visually check entire belt for wear, damage or cracks.
4. If the indicator is out of allowable working range or belt is damaged, replace the belt.
Tension AdjustmentEBS00LLX
Belt tensioning is not necessary, as it is automatically adjusted by the auto tensioner.

ENGINE ASSEMBLY
2005 QX56
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
When replacing an engine or transmission you must make sure the dowels are installed correctly
during re-assembly.
Improper alignment caused by missing dowels may cause vibration, oil leaks or breakage of driv-
etrain components.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Before starting the engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If the levels are
lower than required quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-11, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND
LUBRICANTS" .
Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
Turn ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to the fuel piping, check for fuel
leakage at the 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 fuel, exhaust gas, or any oils/fluids includ-
ing engine oil and engine coolant.
Bleed air from passages in lines and hoses, such as in cooling system.
After cooling down the engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to
specified level if necessary.
