CLEARANCE AND SURFACE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
1. Remove the front grille. Refer to EI-17, "FRONT GRILLE" .
2. Remove the hood lock assembly and adjust the height by rotating the bumper rubber until the hood clear-
ance of hood and fender becomes 1 mm (0.04 in) lower than fitting standard dimension.
3. Temporarily tighten the hood lock, and position it by engaging it with the hood striker. Check the lock and
striker for looseness, and tighten the lock mounting bolt to the specified torque.
4. Adjust the clearance and surface height of hood and fender according to the fitting standard dimension by
rotating right and left bumper rubbers.
CAUTION:
Adjust right/left gap between hood and each part to the following specification.
5. Install the front grille. Refer to EI-17, "
FRONT GRILLE" .
HOOD LOCK ADJUSTMENT
1. Remove the front grille. Refer to EI-17, "FRONT GRILLE" .
2. Move the hood lock to the left or right so that striker center is vertically aligned with hood lock center
(when viewed from vehicle front).
3. Make sure the secondary latch is properly engaged with the sec-
ondary striker with hood's own weight by dropping it from
approx. 200 mm (7.87 in) height or by pressing it lightly approx.
3 kg (29 N, 7lb).
CAUTION:
Do not drop the hood from 300 mm (11.81 in) height or
higher.
4. After adjusting hood lock, tighten the lock bolts.
5. Install the front grille. Refer to EI-17, "
FRONT GRILLE" .
Removal and Installation of Hood AssemblyEIS008PB
1. Support the hood striker with proper material to prevent it from
falling.
WAR NIN G:
Body injury may occur if no supporting rod is holding the
hood open when removing the damper stay.
2. Remove the hinge nuts from the hood to remove the hood
assembly.
CAUTION:
Operate with two workers, because of its heavy weight.
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.Hood and headlamp (B–B) : Less than 2.0 mm

INSTALLATION
1. Pull the hood lock cable through the dash lower hole into the engine room.
Be careful not to bend the cable too much, keeping the radius
100mm (3.94 in) or more.
2. Make sure the cable is not offset from the positioning grommet,
and push the grommet into the dash lower hole securely.
3. Apply sealant around the grommet at * mark.
4. Install the primary and secondary cables securely to the hood
lock.
5. Install the hood lock and the secondary hood lock release
assemblies.
6. Check the hood lock adjustment and hood opener operation.
Refer to BL-12, "
Fitting Adjustment" .
Hood Lock Control InspectionEIS008PD
CAUTION:
If the hood lock cable is bent or deformed, replace it.
1. Remove the front grille. Refer to EI-17, "
FRONT GRILLE" .
2. Make sure the secondary latch is properly engaged with the sec-
ondary striker with hood's own weight by dropping it from
approx. 200 mm (7.87 in) height.
3. While operating the hood opener, carefully make sure the front
end of the hood is raised by approx. 20 mm (0.79 in). Also make
sure the hood opener returns to the original position.
4. Check the hood lock lubrication condition. If necessary, apply
“body grease” to the points shown in the figure.
5. Install the front grille. Refer to EI-17, "
FRONT GRILLE" .

VEHICLE SECURITY (THEFT WARNING) SYSTEM
Revision: October 20052005 QX56
System DescriptionEIS008QM
DESCRIPTION
Operation Flow

Setting the vehicle security system
Initial condition

Ignition switch is in OFF position.
Disarmed phase

When the vehicle is being driven or when doors or glass hatch is open, the vehicle security system is set
in the disarmed phase on the assumption that the owner is inside or near the vehicle.
Pre-armed phase and armed phase

The vehicle security system turns into the "pre-armed" phase when hood, glass hatch and all doors are
closed and locked by keyfob. The security indicator lamp illuminates for 30 seconds, then the system
automatically shifts into the "armed" phase.
Canceling the set vehicle security system
When one of the following operations is performed, the armed phase is canceled.
1. Unlock the doors with the key or the keyfob.
2. Open the power back door with the keyfob. When the power back door is closed after opening the power
back door with the keyfob, the system returns to the armed phase.
Activating the alarm operation of the vehicle security system
Make sure the system is in the armed phase.
When one of the following operations is performed, the system sounds the horns and flashes the headlamps
for about 50 seconds.
1. Engine hood, glass hatch or any door is opened before unlocking door with key or keyfob.

2. Door is unlocked without using key or keyfob.
3. Power back door is opened without using the keyfob.
POWER SUPPLY AND GROUND CIRCUIT
Power is supplied at all times

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

to combination meter (security indicator lamp) terminal 8 and

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

to BCM terminal 70.

through 15A fuse [No. 22, located in the fuse block (J/B)]

to BCM terminal 57.

through 15A fuse (No. 25, located in the fuse and fusible link box)

to horn relay terminal 2.

through 20A fuse (No. 52, located in the IPDM E/R) and

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

to IPDM E/R internal CPU.
With the ignition switch in the ACC or ON position, power is supplied

through 10A fuse [No. 4, located in the fuse block (J/B)]

to BCM terminal 11.
Ground is supplied

to BCM terminal 67

through body grounds M57, M61 and M79 and

to IPDM E/R terminals 38 and 59

through body ground E9, E15 and E24.
INITIAL CONDITION TO ACTIVATE THE SYSTEM
The operation of the vehicle security system is controlled by the doors, hood and glass hatch.
To activate the vehicle security system, BCM must receive signals indicating the doors, hood and glass hatch
are closed and the doors are locked.
When a door is open, BCM terminal 12, 13, 42, 47 or 48 receives a ground signal from each door switch.
When front door LH is unlocked, BCM terminal 22 receives a signal from terminal 14 of main power window
and door lock/unlock switch.
When front door RH is unlocked, BCM terminal 22 receives a signal from terminal 16 of power window and
door lock/unlock switch RH or the rear power window switch LH or RH.
When the back door is open, BCM terminal 43 receives a ground signal

from terminal 7 of the back door latch (door ajar switch)

through back door latch terminal 8

through body grounds B7 and B19.
When the glass hatch is open, BCM terminal 42 receives a ground signal

from terminal + of the glass hatch ajar switch

through glass hatch ajar switch case ground.
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM ALARM OPERATION
The vehicle security system is triggered by

opening a door

opening the hood

opening the glass hatch

unlocking door without using the key or keyfob.
The vehicle security system will be triggered once the system is in armed phase,

when BCM receives a ground signal at terminals 12, 13, 47, 48 (door switch), terminal 42 (glass hatch ajar
switch) or terminal 43 [back door latch (door ajar switch)], or IPDM E/R terminal 41 (hood switch) receives
a ground signal.
Power is supplied at all times
