DESCRIPTION
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
DESCRIPTIONPFP:00000
OutlineNKS004CF
The Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) system automatically maintains a selected distance from the vehicle
ahead according to that vehicle's speed, or at the set speed, if the road ahead is clear.
The ICC function has two cruise control modes and brake assist (with preview function).
VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE CONTROL MODE
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the driver can maintain the same speed as other vehicles without
the constant need to adjust the set speed as the driver would with a normal cruise control system.
The system is intended to enhance the operation of the vehicle when following the vehicle traveling in the
same lane and direction.
If the ICC sensor integrated unit detects a slower moving vehicle ahead, the system will reduce speed so that
the vehicle ahead can be followed at the selected distance.
The system automatically controls the throttle and applies the brakes (up to 25% of vehicle braking power) if
necessary.
The detection range of the sensor is approximately 390 ft (120 m) ahead.
Refer to Owner's Manual for Intelligent Cruise Control System operating instructions.
CONVENTIONAL (FIXED SPEED) CRUISE CONTROL MODE
Conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode is cruising at preset speeds.
Refer to Owner's Manual for Intelligent Cruise Control System operating instructions.
BRAKE ASSIST (WITH PREVIEW FUNCTION)
When the force applied to brake pedal exceeds a certain level, the Brake Assist is activated and generates a
greater braking force than that of a conventional brake booster even with light pedal force.
When the Preview Function identifies the need to apply the sudden brake by sensing the vehicle ahead in the
same lane and the distance and relative speed from it, it applies the brake pre-pressure before driver
depresses the brake pedal and improves brake response by reducing its free play.
Refer to Owner's Manual for BRAKE ASSIST (WITH PREVIEW FUNCTION) operating instructions.

Components DescriptionNKS004CH
CAN CommunicationNKS004CI
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tric control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
CAN COMMUNICATION UNIT
Refer to LAN-34, "CAN Communication Unit" .

(fixed speed)

(with pre-
view func-
tion)Description
ICC sensor integrated unit
Controls vehicle distance by operating electric throttle
control actuator based on that sensor signals and
CAN communication data.
Controls vehicle distance by transmitting deceleration
degree commandment value signal to ABS actuator
and electric unit (control unit) when deceleration with
brake is needed.
Irradiates laser beam, and receives reflected laser
beam to measure distance from preceding vehicle.
ECM
Transmits accelerator pedal position signal, ICC brake
switch signal, stop lamp switch signal and ICC steering
switch signal to ICC sensor integrated unit through CAN
communication.
ABS actuator and electric
unit (control unit)
Transmits vehicle speed signal (wheel speed) and
stop lamp switch signal to ICC sensor integrated unit
through CAN communication.
Receives Deceleration degree commandment value
signal from ICC sensor integrated unit, and controls
brake fluid pressure with the ABS motor.
BCM
Transmits front wiper request signal to ICC sensor inte-
grated unit through CAN communication.
TCM
Transmits gear position signal and output shaft revolu-
tion signal to ICC sensor integrated unit through CAN
communication.
Unified meter and A/C amp.
Receives meter display signal, ICC warning lamp signal
and buzzer output signal from ICC sensor integrated
unit through CAN communication.
ICC brake switch
Transmits operating signal to ECM when depressing
brake pedal. ICC sensor integrated unit cancels cruise
system at driver's brake operation.
Stop lamp switch
Transmits operating signal to ECM and ABS actuator
and electric unit (control unit) when depressing brake
pedal. ICC sensor integrated unit cancels cruise system
at driver's brake operation.

ACTION TEST
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
ACTION TESTPFP:00000
ICC System Running TestNKS004CL
NOTE:
ICC system can set VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE CONTROL MODE and CONVENTIONAL (FIXED
SPEED) CRUISE CONTROL MODE when selector lever is in “D” and “M” position.
VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE CONTROL MODE
NOTE:
When there is no vehicle ahead, drive at the set speed steadily.
When there is a vehicle ahead, control to maintain distance from the vehicle ahead, watching its speed.
Set Checking
1. Press the MAIN switch for less than 1.5 seconds.
2. Drive the vehicle between 25 MPH (40 km/h for CANADA models) and 90 MPH (144 km/h for CANADA
models).
3. Push down the SET/COAST switch.
4. Confirm that the desired speed is set as hand is released from the SET/COAST switch.
NOTE:
The set vehicle speed is displayed on the dot matrix LCD in the combination meter.
Check For Increase Of Cruising Speed
1. Set vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode at desired speed.
2. Check if the set speed increases by 1 MPH (1 km/h for CANADA models) as RESUME/ACCELERATE
switch is pushed up.
NOTE:
The maximum set speed of the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is 90 MPH (144 km/h for CANADA
models).
Check For Decrease Of Cruising Speed
1. Set vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode at desired speed.
2. Check if the set speed decreases by 1 MPH (1 km/h for CANADA models) as SET/COAST switch is
pushed down.
NOTE:
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is automatically cancelled when the driving speed lowers to 20
MPH (32 km/h for CANADA models) due to the deceleration of the vehicle ahead.
The minimum set speed of the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is 25 MPH (40 km/h for CANADA
models).
Check For Cancellation Of Vehicle-To-Vehicle Distance Control Mode (Normal Driving Condi-
tion) In The Following Cases:
1. When the brake pedal is depressed after the system is turned ON.
2. When the selector lever is shifted to the “N” (Neutral) position.
3. When the MAIN switch is turned OFF.
4. When CANCEL switch is operated.
Check For Restoring Speed That Is Set By Vehicle-To-Vehicle Distance Control Mode Before
Cancellation
1. Cancel the system by depressing the brake pedal. Then, check if the speed before cancellation is
restored when pushing up RESUME/ACCELERATE switch with 25 MPH (40 km/h for CANADA models)
or above.
2. Cancel the system by shifting the selector lever to “N”. Then, check if the speed set before the cancella-
tion is restored when RESUME/ACCELERATE switch is pushed up.
3. Check if the speed previously set is restored when RESUME/ACCELERATE switch is operated with driv-
ing 25 MPH (40 km/h for CANADA models), after canceling vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode by
operating the CANCEL switch.

LASER BEAM AIMING ADJUSTMENTPFP:00026
OutlineNKS004CM
Adjust the laser beam aiming every time the ICC sensor integrated unit 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-II when adjusting the laser beam aiming (laser beam aiming adjustment can-
not be operated without CONSULT-II).
Never ride on vehicle during laser beam aiming adjustment.
Idle and turn headlamps OFF during laser beam aiming adjustment.
PreparationNKS004CN
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 integrated unit with a soft cloth.
Remove the front bumper grille. Refer to EI-13, "Removal and
Installation of Front Bumper Grille" .
Outline of Adjustment ProcedureNKS004CO
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 integrated unit automatically adjust the right-left position.)
Setting the ICC Target BoardNKS004CP
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.
ADJUSTING HEIGHT OF THE TARGET
1. Attach a triangle scale at 28 mm (1.10 in) below the center.
