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.

3. Adjust the position of the target board so that the extended line
that links the center of the rear window glass (the center of the
rear window defogger pattern) and the center of the windshield
(the setting part of the room mirror) align with the weight sus-
pended from the board.
4. Remove the thread suspended to the right side of board and
suspend a thread with weight on tip on the center of the target
board. Then mark the point of weight on the ground.
5. Pivot the edge of the target board 25° to either side.
NOTE:
Approx. 90 mm (3.54 in) shift rates the 25° movement.
NOTE:
The distance between center of laser beam axis and target board is 4 m (13 ft).
6. Do not place anything in the space shown in the figure (view from top).
NOTE:
In case the space shown in the figure is not available, make a space by covering the side of the target
board with a 1400 mm (4.6 ft)-size frosted black board or black cloth.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR SELF-DIAGNOSTIC ITEMS
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
DTC 16 RADAR STAINNKS004DA
1. VISUAL INSPECTION 1
Check ICC sensor integrated unit body window for contamination and foreign materials.
Is it found?
YES >> 1. If any, remove them.
2. Erase DTC and perform ICC system running test. Then perform self-diagnosis of ICC system
again.
NO >> GO TO 2.
2. VISUAL INSPECTION 2
Check ICC sensor integrated unit body window for cracks and scratches.
Is it found?
YES >> 1. Replace ICC sensor integrated unit, and adjust laser beam aiming.
