2. Adjust the height of the target stand so that the point of the trian-
gle aims above the center of the ICC sensor.
ADJUSTING THE POSITION OF THE TARGET BOARD STRING
1. Attach a scale or straightedge (at least 350 mm [14 in] or
longer).
2. Suspend a string with a weight on the end 218 mm
(8.6 in) to the left side of the target board center.
POSITIONING THE TARGET
1. Suspend a string with weights on each end over the centerline of the vehicle. The string should lay over
the center of the front and back bumpers. Mark these centerpoints on the ground at each weight.
2. Connect the two center points using a string. Extend the string
an additional 5 m (16 ft) beyond the front centerpoint and mark
the floor. Position the target board weight on this mark.
3. Relocate the suspended string from the left side of the target board to the center of the target board. Mark
this point on the ground.

PRECAUTIONS
Revision: October 20052005 QX56
Precautions ECS00CDL

Before connecting or disconnecting the A/T assembly har-
ness connector, turn ignition switch “OFF” and disconnect
negative battery cable. Because battery voltage is applied
to TCM even if ignition switch is turned “OFF”.

After performing each TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS, perform
“DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) CONFIRMATION PROCE-
DURE”.
If the repair is completed the DTC should not be displayed
in the “DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE”.

Always use the specified brand of ATF. Refer to MA-11, "RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS" .

Use paper rags not cloth rags during work.

After replacing the ATF, dispose of the waste oil using the methods prescribed by law, ordinance, etc.

Before proceeding with disassembly, thoroughly clean the outside of the transmission. It is important to
prevent the internal parts from becoming contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.

Disassembly should be done in a clean work area.

Use lint-free cloth or towels for wiping parts clean. Common shop rags can leave fibers that could interfere
with the operation of the transmission.

Place disassembled parts in order for easier and proper assembly.

All parts should be carefully cleaned with a general purpose, non-flammable solvent before inspection or
reassembly.

Gaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time the transmission is disassembled.

It is very important to perform functional tests whenever they are indicated.

The valve body contains precision parts and requires extreme care when parts are removed and serviced.
Place disassembled valve body parts in order for easier and proper assembly. Care will also prevent
springs and small parts from becoming scattered or lost.

Properly installed valves, sleeves, plugs, etc. will slide along bores in valve body under their own weight.

Before assembly, apply a coat of recommended ATF to all parts. Apply petroleum jelly to protect O-rings
and seals, or hold bearings and washers in place during assembly. Do not use grease.

Extreme care should be taken to avoid damage to O-rings, seals and gaskets when assembling.

Clean or replace ATF cooler if excessive foreign material is found in oil pan or clogging strainer. Refer to
AT- 1 3 , "
A/T Fluid Cooler Cleaning" .

After overhaul, refill the transmission with new ATF.

When the A/T drain plug is removed, only some of the fluid is drained. Old A/T fluid will remain in torque
converter and ATF cooling system.
Always follow the procedures under “Changing A/T Fluid” in the AT section when changing A/T fluid. Refer
to AT-13, "
Changing A/T Fluid" , AT-13, "Checking A/T Fluid" .

A/T CONTROL SYSTEM
Revision: October 20052005 QX56
Shift MechanismECS00CDV
The automatic transmission uses compact triple planetary gear systems to improve power-transmission effi-
ciency, simplify construction and reduce weight.
It also employs an optimum shift control and super wide gear ratios. They improve starting performance and
acceleration during medium and high-speed operation.

SERVICE COUPLERS
Never attempt to connect HFC-134a (R-134a) service couplers to a
CFC-12 (R-12) A/C system. The HFC-134a (R-134a) couplers will
not properly connect to the CFC-12 (R-12) system. If an improper
connection is attempted, discharging and contamination may occur.
REFRIGERANT WEIGHT SCALE
Verify that no refrigerant other than HFC134a (R-134a) and specified
lubricants have been used with the scale. If the scale controls refrig-
erant flow electronically, the hose fitting must be 1/2"-16 ACME.
CHARGING CYLINDER
Using a charging cylinder is not recommended. Refrigerant may be vented into air from cylinder's top valve
when filling the cylinder with refrigerant. Also, the accuracy of the cylinder is generally less than that of an
electronic scale or of quality recycle/recharge equipment.
Wiring Diagrams and Trouble DiagnosisEJS003WX
When you read wiring diagrams, refer to the following:

GI-15, "How to Read Wiring Diagrams"

PG-4, "POWER SUPPLY ROUTING CIRCUIT"

Discharging Refrigerant
WA RN ING:
Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and
throat. Remove HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant from the A/C system using certified service equipment
meeting requirements of SAE J2210 HFC-134a (R-134a) recycling equipment or SAE J2201 HFC-134a
(R-134a) recovery equipment. If an accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate the work area before
resuming service. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from the refrigerant and
lubricant manufacturers.

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
