THE ALIGNMENT PROCESS
IMPORTANT:
Use only the alignment specifications listed in this Service Manual.
When displaying the alignment settings, many alignment machines use “indicators”: (Green/red, plus or
minus, Go/No Go). Do NOT use these indicators.
–The alignment specifications programmed into your machine that operate these indicators may not be cor-
rect.
–This may result in an ERROR.
Some newer alignment machines are equipped with an optional “Rolling Compensation” method to “com-
pensate” the sensors (alignment targets or head units). DO NOT use this “Rolling Compensation”
method.
–Use the “Jacking Compensation Method”. After installing the alignment targets or head units, raise the
vehicle and rotate the wheels 1/2 turn both ways.
–See Instructions in the alignment machine you're using for more information on this.
INSPECTION OF CAMBER, CASTER AND KINGPIN INCLINATION ANGLES
Camber, caster, kingpin inclination angles cannot be adjusted.
Before inspection, mount front wheels onto turning radius gauge. Mount rear wheels onto a stand that has
same height so vehicle will remain horizontal.
Using a CCK Gauge
Install CCK gauge attachment [SST: KV991040S0 ( – )] as following procedure in wheel, then measure
wheel alignment.
1. Remove wheel nuts (3), and install a guide bolts to hub bolts.
2. Screw adapter into plate body until it contacts plate tightly.
3. Screw center plate into plate.
4. Insert plate on guide bolts. Put spring in, and then evenly screw both guide bolt nuts. When fastening guide nuts, do not com-
pletely compress springs.
5. Place the dent of alignment gauge onto the projection of center plate and tightly contact them to measure.
CAUTION:
If camber, caster, or kingpin inclination angle is outside
the standard, check front suspension parts for wear and
damage, and replace suspect parts if necessary.
King pin inclination angle is reference value, no inspection is required. (Due to the type of sus-
pension, the kingpin inclination angle cannot be measured correctly using a normal alignment
tester.)

Component Parts and Harness Connector LocationNIS001S0
System DescriptionNIS001S1
The rear window defogger system is controlled by BCM (Body Control Module) and IPDM E/R (Intelligent
Power Distribution Module Engine Room).
The rear window defogger operates only for approximately 15 minutes.
Power is at all times supplied
through 20A fuse [No. 75, located in the IPDM E/R]
to rear window defogger relay terminals 3,
through 20A fuse [No. 80, located in the IPDM E/R]
to rear window defogger relay terminals 6,
through 15A fuse [No. 32, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
to A/C and AV switch terminal 1,
through 50A fusible link (letter M , located in the fuse and fusible link box)
to BCM terminal 55,
through 15A fuse [No. 22, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
to BCM terminal 42.
With the ignition switch turned to ON or START position,
Power is supplied
through 15A fuse [No. 1, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
to BCM terminal 38.

OK >> Check condition of harness and connector.
NG >> Replace IPDM E/R.
Check Rear Window Defogger Circuit NIS001SE
1. CHECK POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT 1
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect rear window defogger connector.
3. Turn ignition switch ON.
4. Check voltage between rear window defogger connector and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> GO TO 3.
2. CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Check continuity between rear window defogger connector D114 terminal 2 and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> Check filament. Refer to GW-87, "Check Filament"
If filament is OK, check condition of harness and con-
nector.
If filament is NG, repair filament.
