VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN

2010 QX56 INTELLIGENT CRUISE CONTROL (ICC) SENSOR

CAMPAIGN ID # :
PC028

APPLIED VEHICLES:
2010 QX56 (JA6O)

Check Service Comm to confirm campaign eligibility

INTRODUCTION

Infiniti is conducting a Voluntary Service Campaign on certain MY 2010 QX56 vehicles for the Intelligent Cruise Control. On some of the affected vehicles the system may incorrectly identify vehicles in adjacent lanes as being in the path of the QX56. To remedy this Infiniti will inspect the Intelligent Cruise Control and reposition the sensor if necessary.

IDENTIFICATION NUMBER

Infiniti has assigned identification number PC028 to this campaign. This number must appear on all communications and documentation of any nature dealing with this campaign.

DEALER RESPONSIBILITY

Dealers are to correct each vehicle falling within the range of this campaign that enters the service department. This includes vehicles purchased from private parties or presented by transient (tourist) owners and vehicles in a dealer's inventory.

SERVICE PROCEDURE

WARNING:
Do not look straight into the ICC sensor (laser beam discharge) when performing Laser Beam Aiming Adjustment.

NOTE:

^ Do not use the laser pointer attached to the target board support to align the target board position.

^ Once LASER BEAM ADJUST mode is entered with CONSULT-III the procedure must be completed or the ICC system will not function.

Vehicle Set-Up

1. Prepare the vehicle for Laser Beam Aiming Adjustment:

^ Fuel Tank is approximately full.

^ Place the vehicle on a flat level surface.

^ Make sure you leave a minimum of 5.5 meters (18 feet) of space in front of the vehicle.

^ Check/adjust tire pressure to the specified pressure (see Tire and Loading Information label).

^ Make sure there is no-load in the vehicle other than the driver (or equivalent weight placed in the driver's position).

^ Coolant and engine oil must be filled up to the correct level.

^ Shift the gear selector into P position and release the parking brake. Clean the ICC sensor with a soft cloth.

Target Board Set-Up

2. Obtain a length of string about 9 meters (30 feet) long.





3. Tape one end of the string to the ground at the center-point of the rear of the vehicle (see Figure 1).

a. Use the Infiniti emblem to align a plumb-bob.

b. Use the plumb-bob to mark the center point on the ground.

c. Tape the string to the ground at the center point.

4. Extend the string under the vehicle and out the front.





5. Mark the center point of the front of the vehicle (see Figures 2a and 2b).

a. Use the Infiniti emblem to align a plumb-bob.

b. Put a piece of tape on the ground under the plumb-bob.

c. Make a mark on the tape at the center point (under the plumb-bob).

d. Keep the string aligned with the mark.

NOTE:
Do not tape the string at this spot.





6. Pull the string out about 5.5 meters (18 feet) in front of the vehicle (see Figure 3).

7. Pull the string straight and align it with the centerline of the vehicle front then tape the string to the ground.

NOTE:
Keep the string aligned with the center point mark you made in step 5.

8. Measure 5 meters (16 feet 43A inch) in front of the vehicle (from the plumb-bob).





9. Place a piece of tape on the ground and mark the

5 meter (16 feet 43A inch) point (see Figures 4a and 4b).

10. Attach the target board to the support base and adjust it to 0 degrees (straight across).





11. Place the target board face at the 5 meter (16 feet 4-3/4 inch) point as shown in Figure 5.

This is the tape and mark you made in step 9.

12. Align the support base to the string as follows:

NOTE:
The support base has an alignment scale on both sides driver and passenger. Use the driver side.

a. Make sure the support base leg is aligned (parallel) with the string.

b. Move the base left or right and align the string to the 218 mm (8-9/16 inch) reading on the scale.

NOTE:
Make sure the leg of the support base is always parallel to the string.

13. Level the support base (see Figure 6).





^ Bring the bubble into the center of the level indicator by turning the knobs on the support base legs.

NOTE:
If the work surface under the support base is slightly uneven, use the center adjustment for additional leveling.

14. Adjust the target board height.





^ Set the top of the target board to 938 mm (36-15/16 inch) from the ground.





15. Angle the target board toward the driver side and set it to 20 degrees.

16. Make sure the support base is still level.

17. Place the back-board behind the target board.





Target board should now be in position for aiming the ICC laser:

^ Target board 5 meters (16 feet 43A inch) from the front of the vehicle

^ Top of target board 938 mm (36-15/16 inch) from the ground

^ Support base to center line string set at 218 mm (8-9/16 inch)

^ Support base leg parallel with the string Support base level ICC Aiming

18. Connect C-III to the vehicle.

19. Start the engine and let it idle.

20. Perform Standard Height Level with C-III.

a. Navigate C-III to: System Diagnosis > AIR LEVELIZER > Work Support > Standard Height Level

b. Select NEXT and START; wait for completed to display.

21. Navigate C-III to: System Diagnosis > ICC/ADAS > Work Support > LASER BEAM ADJUST

NOTE:
Once LASER BEAM ADJUST mode is entered with C-III the procedure must be completed or the ICC system will not function.

22. Select START.

NOTE:
If the ICC sensor adjustment screen (ADJUST THE VERTICAL OF LASER BEAM AIMING) does not appear on the C-III screen 10 seconds after touching START the following may be the cause:

^ Target Board is not set accurately.

^ There is not enough space beside the Target Board.

^ Sensor may be installed out of the adjustable range (vehicle body may be damaged due to collision or sensor is installed incorrectly).

^ The area is not suitable for the adjustment work.

^ ICC sensor is not clean.

23. After C-III displays "ADJUST THE VERTICAL OF LASER BEAM AIMING":

^ Use the vertical adjusting screw to adjust the "U/D CORRECT" value.

^ Spec is 0 with a range of +/- 4. See adjustment notes.

NOTE:

^ Turn the screw slowly. The value on C-III changes slower than the actual movement of the ICC sensor.

^ Wait at least 2 seconds between each adjustment.

^ During adjustment work do not block the area between the ICC sensor lens and the Target Board with your hand, body, or any other object.

Turning Clockwise moves the ICC sensor UP

Turning Counterclockwise moves the ICC sensor DOWN

24. After adjusting the U/D CORRECT value to the correct specification:

a. For 5 seconds do not touch the sensor the vehicle or the target board.

^ Make sure the adjustment tool is removed from the senor adjusting screw.

b. Make sure the ADJ DIRECTION continues to say OK for at least 5 seconds.

25. With "COMPLETED THE VERTICAL AIMING OF LASER BEAM" displayed on the screen touch "END".

26. "ADJUSTING AUTOMATIC HORIZONTAL LASER BEAM AIMING" should now display - wait while the horizontal adjustment is made automatically (maximum: 10 seconds).





27. When automatic horizontal adjustment is complete "Normally Completed" will display.

28. Procedure end - close C-III.
