2. Pour one bottle 7.4 cc (1/4 ounce) of the HFC-134a (R-134a) fluorescent leak detection dye (J-41447) into
the HFC-134a (R-134a) dye injector (J-41459).
CAUTION:
If repairing the A/C system or replacing a component, pour the HFC-134a (R-134a) fluorescent leak
detection dye (J-41447) directly into the open system connection and proceed with the service
procedures.
3. Connect the refrigerant dye injector (J-41459) to the low-pressure service valve.
4. Start the engine and switch the A/C system ON.
5. When the A/C system is operating (compressor running), inject one bottle 7.4 cc (1/4 ounce) of HFC-134a (R-134a) fluorescent leak detection dye (J-41447) through the low-pressure service valve using HFC-
134a (R-134a) dye injector (J-41459). Refer to the manufacturer's operating instructions.
6. With the engine still running, disconnect the HFC-134a (R-134a) dye injector (J-41459) from the low-pres- sure service valve.
7. Operate the A/C system for a minimum of 20 minutes to mix the HFC-134a (R-134a) fluorescent leak detection dye (J-41447) with the A/C system oil. Depending on the leak size, operating conditions and
location of the leak, it may take from minutes to days for the HFC-134a (R-134a) fluorescent leak detec-
tion dye to penetrate an A/C system leak and become visible.
Electronic Refrigerant Leak DetectorEJS003Z8
PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING LEAK DETECTOR
NOTE:
When performing a refrigerant leak check, use a electronic refrigerant leak detector (J-41995) or equivalent.
Ensure that the electronic refrigerant leak detector (J-41995) is calibrated and set properly according to the
manufacturer's operating instructions.
The electronic refrigerant leak detector (J-41995) is a delicate
device. To use the electronic refrigerant leak detector (J-41995)
properly, read the manufacturer's operating instructions and perform
any specified maintenance.
1. Position the probe approximately 5 mm (3/16 in) away from thepoint to be checked as shown.

Revision: November 20092006 QX56
Occurrence conditionPossible cause
Occurs only when engine is ON. A continuous growling noise occurs. The speed of
the noise varies with changes in the engine speed.

Ignition components
A whistling noise occurs while the engine speed is
high. A booming noise occurs while the engine is
running and the lighting switch is ON.

Generator
The occurrence of the noise is linked with the operation of the fuel pump.

Fuel pump condenser
Noise only occurs when various
electrical components are oper-
ating. A cracking or snapping sound occurs with the
operation of various switches.

Relay malfunction, audio unit malfunction
The noise occurs when various motors are operat-
ing.

Motor case ground

Motor
The noise occurs constantly, not just under certain conditions.

Rear defogger coil malfunction

Open circuit in printed heater

Poor ground of antenna amplifier or
antenna feeder line
A cracking or snapping sound occurs while the vehicle is being driven, especially
when it is vibrating excessively.

Ground wire of body parts

Ground due to improper part installation

Wiring connections or a short circuit

3. Attach the liquid gasket tube to the Tool.
Use Genuine RTV Silicone Sealant or equivalent. Refer to
GI-46, "
Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants" .
4. Apply the liquid gasket without breaks to the specified location with the specified dimensions.

If there is a groove for the liquid gasket application, apply the
liquid gasket to the groove.

As for the bolt holes, normally apply the liquid gasket inside
the holes. If specified in the procedure, it should also be
applied outside the holes.

Within five minutes of liquid gasket application, install the mat-
ing component.

If the liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.

Do not retighten after the installation.

Wait 30 minutes or more after installation before refilling the
engine with engine oil and engine coolant.

DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Turn ignition switch ON and set temperature control lever all the way to HOT position or the highest tem-
perature position. Wait 10 seconds and turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Remove the engine front undercover using power tool.
3. Open the radiator drain plug at the bottom of the radiator, and remove the radiator filler cap. This is the only step required
when partially draining the cooling system (radiator only).
CAUTION:
Do not to allow the coolant to contact the drive belts.
4. When draining all of the coolant in the system for engine removal or repair, it is necessary to drain the cylinder block.
Remove the RH cylinder block drain plug to drain the right bank
and the oil cooler hose to drain the left bank as shown.
5. Remove the reservoir tank to drain the engine coolant, then clean the reservoir tank before installing it.
6. Check the drained coolant for contaminants such as rust, corrosion or discoloration. If the coolant is contaminated, flush the engine cooling system. Refer to CO-12, "
FLUSHING COOLING
SYSTEM" .
REFILLING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Close the radiator drain plug. Install the reservoir tank, cylinder block drain plug, and the oil cooler hose, if
removed for a total system drain or for engine removal or repair.

The radiator must be completely empty of coolant and water.

Apply sealant to the threads of the cylinder block drain plug. Use Genuine High Performance Thread
Sealant or equivalent. Refer to GI-46, "
Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants" .
2. Set the vehicle heater controls to the full HOT and heater ON position. Turn the vehicle ignition ON with the engine OFF as necessary to activate the heater mode.
3. Remove the vented reservoir cap and replace it with a non-vented reservoir cap before filling the cooling system.
