Revision: 2006 December 2006 FX35/FX45
LASER BEAM AIMING ADJUSTMENTPFP:00026
OutlineNKS003EQ
Adjust the laser beam aiming every time the ICC sensor is removed or installed.
CAUTION:

Adjust laser beam aiming at a horizontal place as far as 12 m (39 ft) forward the vehicle can be
seen.

Adjust laser beam aiming 5 seconds after starting engine.

Never view ICC sensor integrated unit body window directly during laser beam aiming adjustment.

Follow the CONSULT-ll when adjusting the laser beam aiming (laser beam aiming adjustment can-
not be operated without CONSULT-ll).

Never ride on vehicle during laser beam aiming adjustment.

Idle and turn headlamps OFF during laser beam aiming adjustment.
PreparationNKS003ER

Adjust the tire pressure to the specified value.

See that there is no load in the vehicle.

Coolant, engine oil filled up to correct level and full fuel tank.

Shift the gear into “P” position and release the parking brake.

Clean the ICC sensor with a soft cloth.
Outline of Adjustment ProcedureNKS003ES
1. Set up the ICC target board [KV99110100 (J-45718)].
2. Adjust the sensor following the procedure on CONSULT-II. (Turn manually the screw for up-down position adjustment. ICC sensor automatically adjust the right-left position.)
Setting the ICC Target BoardNKS003ET
Accurate ICC target board setting is required for the laser beam aiming adjustment.
CAUTION:
ICC system does not function normally if laser beam aiming is not accurate.

PRECAUTIONS
Revision: 2006 December 2006 FX35/FX45
Precautions NCS001AP

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

After performing each TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS, perform
“DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) Confirmation Procedure”.
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-12, "Fluids and Lubricants" .

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

Place disassembled parts in order for easier and proper assembly.

All parts should be carefully cleansed 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.

After overhaul, refill the transmission with new ATF.

When the A/T drain plug is removed, only some of the ATF is drained. Old ATF will remain in torque con-
verter 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- 1 2 , "
Changing A/T Fluid" , AT- 1 3 , "Checking A/T Fluid" .
