ENTERING SPECIFICATIONS USING THE FACTORY SPECIFICATION MEMORY SYSTEM D111 ALIGNMENT ‘SPECIFICATION INFORMATION The alignment specifications stored in the D111 are based on industry data available at the time of entry. Because specifications are subject to change, refer to vehicle manufacturer service manuals and service bulletins if a question arises. In some cases it may be necessary to refer to the alignment specification book for additional specifications, The specifications in the D111 give toe values and tolerances in measurements of toe-in(+) or measurements of toe-out (—). Press C2) “4” or (2) “¥" to “scroll” up or down through the list until the desired vehicle manufacturer is indicated by the arrow. Press (+) , “Enter Manufacturer’. Press C2) “4” or C) "}" to “scrot” up or down until the desired year and model vehicle is indicated by the arrow. Press (*) , “Enter Moder’. The CRT will change to the “Vehicle Specifi- cations” display. Shown now on this display are the specifications and tolerances for the selected vehicle. note: (2), “Reduce Tolerances’, when pressed will only reduce camber tolerances to £25°, caster tolerance to +.50°, and total toe tolerance to +063" (+.13", 1.5mm depending upon toe units selected). Only tolerances greater than these will be reduced. 12a.

Notice that a highlighted area appears behind the alignment angle for which specificationsare to be entered. Press ©) twice. Key labeled “Select Toe Units”, allows the operator to select from five units of measurement for toe: toe measurement in inches; toe measurement in degrees; toe measurement in millimeters; toe Measurement in millimeters at the reference diameter and toe measurement in inches at the reference diameter the reference diameter must be entered using the numeric keys)GEOMETRIC, CEQMETRIC_| 1 tHnusT LINE Geometric Centerline Alignment Toe on each front wheel is measured and adjusted using the vehicle's geometric centerlineasareference, Geometriccenterline alignment has been used for many years and may provide a satisfactory alignment if the rear wheels are positioned squarely with the geometric cen- terline. However ifthe vehicle's rearwheels (either solid axle or independent suspension) create a thrust line that is not identical with the geo- metric centerline, the front end steering geometry will be off center and the steering wheel will be ‘cocked as the vehicle moves in a straight direction. 4, ALIGNMENT TYPES GEOMETRIC} CENTERLINE ‘Thrust Line Alignment Aligning the front wheels to the vehicle's thrust line is a significant improvement over aligning to the geometric centerline. In the thrust line method, rear individual toe is measured (but not adjusted). The thrust line created by the rear wheels is used as a reference for aligning the front wheels. Asa result, the operatoris assured of astraight steering wheel asthe vehicle moves straight ahead. GEOMETAIC, CENTERLING 77 fo THRUST LINE Total FourWheol Alignment Total four-wheel alignment is the ultimate wheel alignment service. Individual rear toe is measured, then adjusted to the factory specifica- tions. This adjustment brings the thrust line of the rear wheels into coincidence with the vehicle's geo- metric centerline, The front wheels are then aligned to the identical geometric center lineythrustiine. Total fourwheel alignment results Inall four wheels being parallel and the steering wheel and steering geometry being centered as the vehicle moves in a straight line.10 CONDENSED ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE TOTAL 4-WHEEL 4 SENSORS (OPTICAL OR TOE LINE) ALIGNMENT INSPECTION on LH] * COG wes POWER “ON” BEGIN ALIGNMENT SELECT ALIGNMENT TYPE (REF.

INSTALLING FRONT & REAR SENSORS WHEELS WITH RIM LIP: Place the T-wrench in the “EXPAND” socket of the top cam lock casting. Position the two lower stud screws or discs on the wheel rim. Slide the top cam lock casting up to engage the top two stud screws or discs with the wheel rim.Check that all four screws/discs are con- tacting the rim. Turn the T-wrench 180° toset the cam lock in the locked position. (The locking action will be from the inside of the rim outward) WHEELS WITH NO RIM LIP: Place the T-wrench in the “CONTRACT” socket of the top cam lock casting. Position the two lower stud screws onthe outside of the rim. Slide the top cam lock casting down to engage the two top stud screws on the outside of the rim. Turn the T-wrench 180° toset the cam lock in the locked position. (The locking action will be from the outside of the rim inward) Test the security of the installation by lightly tugging on the center casting, Slide the center casting up or down on the adaptor rods to approximately align it with the wheel center. Connect the sensor safety cable to the valve stem of the wheel, NOTE: For small wheels, it may be necessary to remove the two rod extensions by loosening the lower casting screws (using the T-wrench) and unscrewing the rod extensions, Retighten the lower casting screws. Connect the two sensor cables from the console to the front sensors, On foursensor units, connect the additional two cables between the frontand rearsensors. 13a. INSTALLING REAR TOE LINE SUPPORTS (TOE LINE SENSORS ONLY) Two sensor alignment models are furnished with rear toe line supports. Install as shown with the pins resting on the wheel rim and the rod cover the top of the tire. The supports should be adjusted to hang approximately at the wheel centerline. (NOTE: the same length pins must be used on both left and right wheels) 14, COMPENSATING SENSORS After all sensors and/or toe line supports have been installed, adjust the three toe lines as. shown so that when connected, there is no slack in the line. Do not excessively stretch the lines. (Toe line sensors only.) oaAttach the three toe lines. (All three toe lines must be installed before starting compensation) {Toe line sensors only.) NOTE: Excessive wind (fans, open exterior doors, etc) may affect the toe lines. if necessary, turn off fans or close doors. CAUTION: Securely chock wheels on axle not being jacked during compensation to prevent vehicle rolling. Raise either the front or rear wheels. Select one of the sensors for compensation. Loosen the sensor lock knob and rotate the wheel 180° until the sensor adaptor is upside down, and the green VERT. indicator is on. Snug down the sensor lock knob. Rotate the wheel until the sensor is level (as indicated by the level on top of the sensor) Momentarily depress (do not hold) the COM- PENSATE switch. Do not disturb the sensor until the red COMP. indicator begins to flash. Loosen the sensor lock knob and rotate the wheel 180° until the sensor adaptoris returned to its original position and the green VERT. indicator is on. ‘Snug down the sensor lock knob. Rotate the wheel until the sensor is level. Momentarily depress the COMPENSATE switch. Do not disturb the sensor until the red COMP. indicator stops flashing and is on continuously. The sensor is now compensated. Repeat this procedure for the remaining sensor(s). After compensating the sensors, remove the lock pins from the turning angle gages and slip plates. Make sure the adaptors are vertical, the green sensor VERT. indicators are on, and the sensors are level and locked, Apply the emergency brake and place the trans- mission in park. Lower the vehicle onto the turning angle gages Jounce the vehicle. NOTES ON COMPENSATION The sensors may be compensated in any order, however, these precautions must be followed: While a sensors being compensated, the other sensor(s) and wheels must not be disturbed. If this should occur, repeat the procedure for the sensor being compensated. If the compensation procedure has been started on a sensor to the point where the red COMP. indicator is flashing, the procedure must be completed for that sensor before beginning to compensate another sensor.IMPORTANT When compensating sensors attached to the vehicle drive wheels, place the transmission in NEUTRAL and rotate the wheels in the forward direction so that the opposite wheel does not rotate. (It may be necessary to chock the oppo- site wheel to prevent it from rotating) Ifa sensor is removed from any wheel, it must be re-compensated when installed. During compensation or operation of optical sensors, be certain there are no obstructions blocking the infrared beams between sensors. Should a blockage occur, the affected sensor(s) shown on the illustration on the CRT will flash on and off and the displayed toe measurements of the sensor(s) will go blank until the obstruction is cleared, 15. MEASURING CAMBER AND TOE As each sensor is compensated, camber measurements for the corresponding wheel will be displayed. After all sensors are compensated, and the vehicle lowered and jounced, in the front centerline mode, front camber, toe, totaltoe and set-back measurements will be displayed. In the front thrust line mode, front camber, toe, total toe, set-back plus rear camber, toe, total toe and thrust angle will be displayed. The “Cross Camber" and “Cross Caster” values represent the difference between the left and right measurements, Alignment measurements for CAMBER, CASTER, ‘SAL, SET-BACK, and THRUST ANGLE are dis- played in degrees. TOE is displayed in the unit of measure selected by the operator, A negative SET-BACK reading indicates the left wheel is trailing the right wheel A negative THRUSTANGLE reading indicatesathrustangle towards the left. 16. MEASURING CASTER Press a key labeled “Measure Caster” to change the CRT to the “Caster and SAl Mea surement” displ Press (=) , “Caster Only”. The adjustment display uses horizontal bar graphs to guide the steering of the wheels through the caster turn, These bar graphs are “NULL” indicators and indicate whether the wheels are steered too far tothe left, too far tothe right, orsteered correctly ("NULL” position). Too Far Left = aa hummel Stecred Correctly DaMeasurements of caster are guided by indivi- dual wheels. The left bar graph guides the left wheel, the right bar graph guides the right wheel. Loosen the front sensor lock knobs. (Be cer- tain the wheel adaptors are vertical) if a single bar grap} displayed on the CRT, steer the wheels to the “NULL” (straight ahead) position. ing the CRT display, steer the wh ft until either bar graph indicates a “NULL” position. Hold the steering wheel steady. After a moment, the bar graph will go blank. Continue to steer the wheels until a “NULL” position is indicated on the other bar graph. Hold the steering wheel steady. Aftera moment, the bar graph will go blank. Repeat this procedure, steering to the right. Steer the wheels to the left until the single bar graph indicates a “NULL” position. The CRTwill change automatically to “Alignment Measurements" and display the caster measurements. 17. MEASURING S.A.1. AND INCLUDED ANGLE Press (2) , “SAI/IA Only”. Jack the front wheels up until they clear the turning angle gages or rack. Lock the front brakes using a brake pedal depressor and take up any brake slack With the wheels in the straight ahead position, level the front sensors and snug down the sensor lock knobs. Execute the S.A.I. turn observing the bar graphs in the same manner as the cast turn, When S.A. measurements are completed, the CRT will change to the “Alignments Measure- ments” display with the SA. and included angle measurements shown. Lower the vehicle. (NOTE: While lowering the vehicle, camber and S.A, measurements will change, included angle measurements will re- main constant) 18. MEASURING CASTER AND SAI/IA ‘SIMULTANEOUSLY (Not Preferred) Press (2), “Caster and SAI/IA” on the “Caster and SAl Measurements” display. Execute the Caster/SAl turn observing the bar graphs in the same manneras measuring caster only. When the caster and SAI measurements are completed, the CRT will change to the “Align- ment Measurements” display with the caster, SAI and included angle measurements shown. 19, MEASURING TURNING ANGLE NOTE: Toe must be within specification priorto measuring turning angle. With the wheels in the straight ahead position, resting on turning angle gages (turning angle gages on zero and lock pins removed), swing the left wheel out 20° (vehicle left-hand turn). Read the turning angle of the right wheel on its turning angle scale. (The angle will be less than 20°. Refer to vehicle manufacturer's spec fications). From the straight ahead position, swing the right wheel out 20° (vehicle right-hand turn). Read the turning angle of the left wheel on its turning angle scal NOTE: Some specifications require a turn other than 20°. Refer to vehicle manufacturer's specification.20. ADJUSTMENT DISPLAYS The system utilizes both a bar graph adjustment display and digital adjustment display. When- ever a key labeled “Adjust Front Wheels”, “Ad- just Rear Wheels” or “Adjust Toe” Is pressed, the corresponding bargraph adjustment display will appear. (Bar Graph) Adjustment Display The bar graphs display the difference between the actual reading (compared to the tolerance entered) and the vehicle specification entered. The numerical values next to or above the bar graphs represent the actual measurement. As the vehicle is adjusted, the center bar moves in the direction of the adjustment. The system continually measures the angle being adjusted and compares it to the spect fications and tolerances entered. The alignment condition is indicated as follows: Red Background Out of tolerance Green Background Acceptable adjustment (within entered tolerance) Cel Preferred adjustment (within % entered tolerance) Green Background On these displays, pressing (=) , “Zero Ad- just”, will cause the CRT to: change to the digital adjustment display.

If certain systems fail, the Self-Test display will automatically appear and indicate which system has failed. In the event the self-test display indicates a failure, contact the factory service representative for corrective action. The self-test display may be obtained by pressing () when labeled “Test”. Pressing () “Continue” will return the pro- gram to the display from which the test functions were started. NOTE: Self-test will not cause the D111 to lose temporary information such as compensation or specifications. 2630 TROUBLE SHOOTING If the system fails to respond as expected, the most likely causes can be attributed to an operation error and can be found in the table below: IF THE SYMPTOM IS: THE LIKELY CAUSES ARE: 1. When compensating, the system fails to respond to the A,B,C,O compensate switch on the sensor. 2. When viewing the ALIGNMENT MEASUREMENTS display, DEF the measured values do not appear. 3. When performing the caster or SAI turn procedure, the bar GP graphs are both blank. 4, When entering specifications and tolerances, the system Hd ignores some entries. 5. When using the VEHICLE ADJUSTMENT displays, some bar DHL KL graphs appear blank. 6. When using the digital adjust display, some values appear DEK blank. 7. Adjustments were made to camber and caster using the bar MN graphs, but when caster was re-measured, camber and/or caster was found to be incorrect.The causes are: A. The wheel adaptor must be upside-down to start the procedure. Is the green VERT Indicator light on? The adaptor must be right-side up to end the procedure (the red COMP. indicator light on continuously). Is the green VERT indicator light on? See the instructions on COMPENSATING SENSORS. B. Is the red COMP. indicator light blinking on another sensor? C. Are the sensors stable? Is the vehicle being shaken, vibrated, or otherwise The engine should be off. Are the toe lines being disturbed by other acti D. Are the appropriate sensors compensated? See the section on MEASURING CAMBER AND TOE. — Has caster been measured with the caster turn procedure? See the section on MEASURING CASTER. F. Have SAI and included angle been measured with the SAI tun procedure? See the section on MEASURING SAI and INCLUDED ANGLE. G. Are the appropriate sensors compensated? See the sections on MEASURING CASTER and MEASURING SAI and INCLUDED ANGLES. H. Are the tolerances non-zero? |. Arethe values reasonable? See the section on ENTERING VEHICLE SPECIFICATIONS. Was “Enter Number’ key pressed after the value was keyed in? Were the appropriate specifications entered? Are the appropriate tolerances entered? Rew Was the adjustment procedure followed correctly? Was the sensor LEVEL and LOCKED, with the brakes LOCKED and the steering wheel STRAIGHT and LOCKED at the beginning of the adjustment? N. Was the vehicle leaned on during the adjustment? This may flex the suspensions, causing camber and/or caster to be adjusted in error. ©. Is the system calibrated? Refer to service personnel, P. This normally occurs with optical sensors if the wheels are not steered in the directions required. The preceeding table assumes the system is functioning properly. If a program failure should occur, it will be shown on the self-test display.3. CRT DISPLAY GRAPHICS DISPLAY - shows: TRE 1.
