FRONT FOG LAMPPFP:26150
Component Parts and Harness Connector LocationEKS00B9B
System DescriptionEKS00B9C
Control of the fog lamps is dependent upon the position of the combination switch (lighting switch). The light-
ing switch must be in the 2ND position or AUTO position (LOW beam is ON) for front fog lamp operation.
When the lighting switch is placed in the fog lamp position, the BCM (body control module) receives input sig-
nal requesting the fog lamps to illuminate. When the headlamps are illuminated, this input signal is communi-
cated to the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) across the CAN communication
lines. The CPU (central processing unit) of the IPDM E/R controls the front fog lamp relay coil. When acti-
vated, this relay directs power to the front fog lamps.

Power is supplied at all times

to ignition relay, located in the IPDM E/R, and

to front fog lamp relay, located in the IPDM E/R, and

through 20A fuse (No. 53, located in the IPDM E/R)

to CPU of the IPDM E/R, and

through 50A fusible link (letter f , located in the fuse and fusible link box)

to BCM terminal 70.
When the ignition switch is in ON or START position, power is supplied

to ignition relay, located in the IPDM E/R, and

FRONT FOG LAMP
Revision: October 20052005 QX56
Aiming AdjustmentEKS00B9M
The fog lamp is a semi-sealed beam type which uses a replaceable halogen bulb. Before performing aiming
adjustment, make sure of the following.

Keep all tires inflated to correct pressure.

Place vehicle on level ground.

See that vehicle is unloaded (except for full levels of coolant,
engine oil and fuel, and spare tire, jack, and tools). Have the
driver or equivalent weight placed in driver seat.
Adjust aiming in the vertical direction by turning the adjustment
screw.
NOTE:
Access adjustment screw from underneath front bumper. Turn screw
clockwise to raise pattern and counterclockwise to lower pattern.
1. Set the distance between the screen and the center of the fog
lamp lens as shown.
2. Turn front fog lamps ON.
3. Adjust front fog lamps using adjusting screw so that the top edge
of the high intensity zone is 200 mm (7.9 in) below the height of
the fog lamp centers as shown.

When performing adjustment, if necessary, cover the headlamps
and opposite fog lamp.

PARKING, LICENSE PLATE AND TAIL LAMPS
Revision: October 20052005 QX56
PARKING, LICENSE PLATE AND TAIL LAMPSPFP:26550
Component Parts and Harness Connector LocationEKS00BAK
System DescriptionEKS00BAL
Control of the parking, license plate, and tail lamp operation is dependent upon the position of the lighting
switch (combination switch). When the lighting switch is placed in the 1ST position, the BCM (body control
module) receives input signal requesting the parking, license plate, side marker and tail lamps to illuminate.
This input signal is communicated to the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) across
the CAN communication lines. The CPU (central processing unit) of the IPDM E/R controls the tail lamp relay
coil. This relay, when energized, directs power to the parking, license plate and tail lamps, which then illumi-
nate.
Power is supplied at all times

to ignition relay, located in the IPDM E/R, and

to tail lamp relay, located in the IPDM E/R, and

through 20A fuse (No. 53, located in the IPDM E/R)

to CPU of the IPDM E/R, and

through 50A fusible link (letter f , located in the fuse and fusible link box)

to BCM terminal 70.
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied

to ignition relay, located in the IPDM E/R, and

through 10A fuse (No. 59, located in the fuse and relay box)

to BCM terminal 38
Ground is supplied

to BCM terminal 67

through grounds M57, M61 and M79, and

to IPDM E/R terminals 38 and 59

through grounds E9, E15 and E24.

Precautions for Liquid GasketEBS00NIH
REMOVAL OF LIQUID GASKET SEALING

After removing the bolts and nuts, separate the mating surface
and remove the old liquid gasket sealing using Tool.
CAUTION:
Do not damage the mating surfaces.

Tap the seal cutter to insert it.

In areas where the Tool is difficult to use, lightly tap to slide it.
LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Remove the old liquid gasket adhering to the gasket application
surface and the mating surface using suitable tool.

Remove the liquid gasket completely from the groove of the
liquid gasket application surface, bolts, and bolt holes.
2. Thoroughly clean the mating surfaces and remove adhering
moisture, grease and foreign material.
3. Attach the liquid gasket tube to the Tool.
Use Genuine RTV Silicone Sealant or equivalent. Refer to
GI-45, "
Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants" .
4. Apply the liquid gasket without breaks to the specified location
with the specified dimensions.

If there is a groove for the liquid gasket application, apply the
liquid gasket to the groove.

As for the bolt holes, normally apply the liquid gasket inside
the holes. If specified in the procedure, it should also be
applied outside the holes.

Within five minutes of liquid gasket application, install the mat-
ing component.

If the liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.

Do not retighten after the installation.

Wait 30 minutes or more after installation before refilling the
engine with engine oil and engine coolant.
CAUTION:
If there are specific instructions in this manual, observe them.Too l n u mb er : K V 1011110 0 (J -37228)

OIL LEVEL

Before starting the engine make sure the vehicle is parked on a
flat and level surface, then check the oil level. If the engine is
already running, turn it off and allow 10 minutes before check-
ing.

Check that the oil level is within the low (L) and high (H) range
as indicated on the dipstick.

If the engine oil level is out of range, add oil as necessary. Refer
to GI-45, "
Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants" .
OIL APPEARANCE

Check the engine oil for a white milky appearance or excessive contamination.

If the engine oil is milky, it is highly probable that it is contaminated with engine coolant. Repair the broken
parts.
OIL LEAKAGE
Check for oil leakage around the following areas:

Oil pan

Oil pan drain plug

Oil pressure sensor

Oil filter

Oil cooler

Intake valve timing control cover

Intake valve timing control solenoid valve

Front cover

Mating surface between cylinder block and cylinder head

Mating surface between cylinder head and rocker cover

Crankshaft oil seal (front and rear)
OIL PRESSURE CHECK
WA RN ING:

Be careful not to burn yourself, as engine oil may be hot.

Put the selector lever in the Park “P” position.
1. Check the engine oil level. Refer to LU-7, "
OIL LEVEL" .
2. Remove engine front undercover using power tool.
3. Disconnect the oil pressure sensor harness connector.
4. Remove the oil pressure sensor.

5. Install Tools.
6. Start the engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
7. Check the engine oil pressure with engine running under no-load.
Engine oil pressure [Engine oil temperature at 80°C (175°F)]
Unit: kPa (kg/cm2
, psi)
CAUTION:
If the difference is extreme, check the oil passages and oil pump for leaks and blockages.
8. After the inspections, install oil pressure sensor as follows:
a. Remove old liquid gasket adhering to oil pressure sensor and engine.
b. Apply liquid gasket and tighten oil pressure sensor to the specification.
Use Genuine RTV Silicone Sealant or equivalent. Refer to GI-45, "
Recommended Chemical Prod-
ucts and Sealants" .
c. After warming up engine, make sure there is no leakage of engine oil with engine running.
Changing Engine OilEBS00LMT
WAR NIN G:

Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine oil is hot.

Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may
cause skin cancer; try to avoid direct skin contact with
used engine oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly
with soap or hand cleaner as soon as possible.
1. Remove engine front undercover using power tool.
2. Warm up engine, and check for oil leakage from engine compo-
nents. Refer to LU-7, "
OIL LEAKAGE" .
3. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.
4. Loosen oil filler cap, then remove drain plug.
5. Drain engine oil.
6. Install drain plug with new washer.
CAUTION:

Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new washer.
7. Refill with new engine oil. Refer to MA-11, "
