through 10A fuse [No. 19, located in the fuse block (J/B)]

to key switch and key lock solenoid terminal 3.
Key is removed from ignition key cylinder (key switch OFF), power will not be supplied to BCM terminal 37.
Serial data is supplied

to BCM terminal 22

through main power window and door lock/unlock switch terminal 14.
At the time that front door LH is opened, BCM detects that front door LH is unlocked. It determines that interior
room lamp and map lamp timer operation conditions are met, and turns the interior room lamps ON for 30 sec-
onds.
Key is in ignition key cylinder (key switch ON), power is supplied

through key switch and key lock solenoid terminal 4

to BCM terminal 37.
When key is removed from key switch and key lock solenoid (key switch OFF), power supply to BCM terminal
37 is terminated. BCM detects that key has been removed, determines that interior room lamp and map lamp
timer conditions are met, and turns the interior room lamps ON for 30 seconds.
When front door LH opens → closes, and the key is not inserted in the key switch and key lock solenoid (key
switch OFF), BCM terminal 47 changes between 0V (door open) → 12V (door closed). The BCM determines
that conditions for interior room lamp operation are met and turns the interior room lamp ON for 30 seconds.
Timer control is canceled under the following conditions.

Front door LH is locked [when locked by keyfob, main power window and door lock/unlock switch, or front
door lock assembly LH (key cylinder switch)]

Front door LH is opened (front door switch LH turns ON)

Ignition switch ON.
INTERIOR LAMP BATTERY SAVER CONTROL
If interior lamp is left “ON”, it will not be turned off even when door is closed.
BCM turns off interior lamp automatically to save battery 30 minutes after ignition switch is turned off.
BCM controls interior lamps listed below:

Vanity lamp

Room/map lamp

Cargo lamp

Personal lamp

Step lamps

Puddle lamps

Foot lamps

Ignition keyhole illumination
After lamps turn OFF by the battery saver system, the lamps illuminate again when

signal received from keyfob, or main power window and door lock/unlock switch or front door lock assem-
bly LH (key cylinder switch) is locked or unlocked

door is opened or closed

key is removed from ignition key cylinder (key switch OFF) or inserted in ignition key cylinder (key switch
ON).

TRUNK
Trunk noises are often caused by a loose jack or loose items put into the trunk by the owner.
In addition look for:
1. Trunk lid bumpers out of adjustment
2. Trunk lid striker out of adjustment
3. The trunk lid torsion bars knocking together
4. A loose license plate or bracket
Most of these incidents can be repaired by adjusting, securing or insulating the item(s) or component(s) caus-
ing the noise.
SUNROOF/HEADLINING
Noises in the sunroof/headlining area can often be traced to one of the following:
1. Sunroof lid, rail, linkage or seals making a rattle or light knocking noise
2. Sun visor shaft shaking in the holder
3. Front or rear windshield touching headliner and squeaking
Again, pressing on the components to stop the noise while duplicating the conditions can isolate most of these
incidents. Repairs usually consist of insulating with felt cloth tape.
OVERHEAD CONSOLE (FRONT AND REAR)
Overhead console noises are often caused by the console panel clips not being engaged correctly. Most of
these incidents are repaired by pushing up on the console at the clip locations until the clips engage.
In addition look for:
1. Loose harness or harness connectors.
2. Front console map/reading lamp lens loose.
3. Loose screws at console attachment points.
SEATS
When isolating seat noise it's important to note the position the seat is in and the load placed on the seat when
the noise is present. These conditions should be duplicated when verifying and isolating the cause of the
noise.
Cause of seat noise include:
1. Headrest rods and holder
2. A squeak between the seat pad cushion and frame
3. The rear seatback lock and bracket
These noises can be isolated by moving or pressing on the suspected components while duplicating the con-
ditions under which the noise occurs. Most of these incidents can be repaired by repositioning the component
or applying urethane tape to the contact area.
UNDERHOOD
Some interior noise may be caused by components under the hood or on the engine wall. The noise is then
transmitted into the passenger compartment.
Causes of transmitted underhood noise include:
1. Any component mounted to the engine wall
2. Components that pass through the engine wall
3. Engine wall mounts and connectors
4. Loose radiator mounting pins
5. Hood bumpers out of adjustment
6. Hood striker out of adjustment
These noises can be difficult to isolate since they cannot be reached from the interior of the vehicle. The best
method is to secure, move or insulate one component at a time and test drive the vehicle. Also, engine RPM
or load can be changed to isolate the noise. Repairs can usually be made by moving, adjusting, securing, or
insulating the component causing the noise.

6. Measure the drive gear-to-drive pinion backlash with a dial indi-
cator at several points.

If the backlash is less than specification, adjust the washer thickness. Decrease the thickness of the left
washer and increase the thickness of the right washer by the same amount.

If the backlash is greater than specification, adjust the washer thickness. Increase the thickness of the
left washer and decrease the thickness of the right washer by the same amount.

Never change the total amount of the washers as it will change the bearing preload.
7. Check the total preload using Tool.
When checking the preload, turn the drive pinion in both direc-
tions several times to seat the bearing rollers correctly.

If the preload is greater than specification, remove the same amount of washer thickness from each
side.

If the preload is less than specification, add the same amount of washer thickness to each side.

Never add or remove a different amount of washer thickness from each side. A difference in the amount
of washer thickness will change the drive gear-to-drive pinion backlash.
8. Recheck the drive gear-to-drive pinion backlash. Increase or decrease in thickness of the washers will
change the drive gear-to-drive pinion backlash.

Check whether the backlash varies excessively in different places. Foreign matter may be caught
between the drive gear and the differential case causing the variation in backlash.

The backlash can vary greatly even when the drive gear runout is within specification. To correct this
variation, replace the hypoid gear set or differential case.
9. Check runout of drive gear using a dial indicator.
10. Check the tooth contact.
Refer to RFD-14, "
TOOTH CONTACT" . Drive gear to drive pinion backlash : 0.13 - 0.18 mm

REAR SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY
Revision: October 20052005 QX56

Check with the manufacturer of your specific alignment machine for their recommended Service/Cali-
bration Schedule.
THE ALIGNMENT PROCESS
IMPORTANT: Use only the alignment specifications listed in this Service Manual. Refer to RSU-47, "Wheel
Alignment"
1. When displaying the alignment settings, many alignment machines use “indicators”: (Green/red, plus or
minus, Go/No Go). Do NOT use these indicators.

The alignment specifications programmed into your alignment machine that operate these indicators
may not be correct.

This may result in an ERROR.
2. Some newer alignment machines are equipped with an optional “Rolling Compensation” method to “com-
pensate” the sensors (alignment targets or head units). Do NOT use this “Rolling Compensation”
method.

Use the “Jacking Compensation” method. After installing the alignment targets or head units, raise the
vehicle and rotate the wheels 1/2 turn both ways.

See Instructions in the alignment machine you are using for more information.
CAMBER
1. Measure camber of both the right and left wheels with a suitable
alignment gauge and adjust as necessary to specification.
2. If outside of the specified value, adjust the camber using the
adjusting bolt in the front lower link.
CAUTION:
After adjusting the camber then check the toe-in.
NOTE:
Camber changes about 0° 5' with each graduation of the adjust-
ing bolt.
3. Tighten the adjusting bolt nuts to specification.
TOE-IN
1. Bounce the rear of the vehicle up and down two to three times to stabilize the vehicle height. Refer to
RSU-48, "
Wheelarch Height (Unladen*1 )" .
2. Push the vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).
3. Put a mark on the base line of the tread (rear side) of both of the
tires at the same height as the center of the hub. This will be the
measuring points.
4. Measure the distance “A” (rear side) across from tire to tire.Camber : Refer to RSU-47, "
Wheel Alignment" .
