2000 NISSAN PATROL check engine

Pull the negative-pressure valve to open it. Check that it closes
completely when released.
CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
Apply pressure to the cooling system with cap tester to check for
leakage.
Testing pressure:
98 kPa (0.98 bar, 1.0 kg/cm
2, 14 psi)
CAUTION:
Use of higher pressure than the specified value may cause
damage to radiator.
Checking and Replacing Fuel Filter and
Draining Water
Be careful not to spill fuel in engine compartment. Place a
rag to absorb fuel.
CHECKING FUEL FILTER
Check fuel filter for fuel leakage, damage and other abnormal
signs.
REPLACING FUEL FILTER
1. Disconnect harness connector and drain fuel.
2. Remove fuel filter using band-type filter wrench.
3. Remove fuel filter and fuel filter sensor.
CAUTION:
Remove fuel filter without spilling fuel. If spilt, wipe off
immediately. Be specially careful not to spill fuel on engine
mount insulator.

4. Wipe clean fuel filter mounting surface on fuel filter bracket
and smear a little fuel on rubber seal of fuel filter.
5. Screw fuel filter on until a slight resistance is felt, then tighten
an additional more than 2/3 of a turn.
6. Install fuel filter sensor to new fuel filter. (Type A)
7. Bleed air from fuel filter.
Refer to ªAir Bleedingº in EC section.
8. Start engine and check for leaks.
DRAINING WATER
1. Drain water as follows.
Type A
Loosen drain cock and drain water.
Loosening drain cock four to five turns causes water to start
draining. Do not remove drain cock by loosening it exces-
sively.
If water does not drain properly, move the priming pump up and
down.
Type B
Loosen air bleeder screw from the sedimentor cover and then
loosen drain cock and drain water.
Loosening drain cock four to five turns causes water to start
draining. Do not remove drain cock by loosening it exces-
sively.
2. Bleed air.
Refer to ªAir Bleedingº in EC section.
Checking Fuel Lines
Check fuel lines and tank for proper attachment, leaks, cracks,
damage, loose connections, chafing and deterioration.
CAUTION:
Keep clean parts with compressed air when assembling.

Checking A/T Fluid
1. Warm up engine.
2. Check for fluid leakage.
3. Before driving, fluid level can be checked at fluid tempera-
tures of 30 to 50ÉC (86 to 122ÉF) using ªCOLDº range on
dipstick.
a. Park vehicle on level surface and set parking brake.
b. Start engine and move selector lever through each gear posi-
tion. Leave selector lever in ªPº position.
c. Check fluid level with engine idling.
d. Remove dipstick and note reading. If level is at low side of
either range, and fluid to the charging pipe.
e. Re-insert dipstick into charging pipe as far as it will go.
f. Remove dipstick and note reading. If reading is at low side
of range, add fluid to the charging pipe.
Do not overfill.
4. Drive vehicle for approximately 5 minutes in urban areas.
5. Re-check fluid level at fluid temperatures of 50 to 80ÉC (122
to 176ÉF) using ªHOTº range on dipstick.
CAUTION:
Securely install A/T fluid level gauge.
6. Check fluid condition.
+If fluid is very dark or smells burned, refer to AT section for
checking operation of A/T. Flush cooling system after repair
of A/T.
+If A/T fluid contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.),
replace radiator and flush cooler line using cleaning solvent
and compressed air after repair of A/T. Refer to LC section
(ªRadiatorº, ªENGINE COOLING SYSTEMº).

Changing A/T Fluid
1. Warm up A/T fluid.
2. Stop engine.
3. Drain A/T fluid from drain plug and refill with new A/T fluid.
Always refill same volume with drained fluid.
Fluid grade:
Genuine Nissan ATF or equivalent. Refer to ªREC-
OMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTSº,
MA-1008.
Fluid capacity (With torque converter):
11.8!(10-3/8 Imp qt)
Drain plug:
:29-39Nzm (3.0 - 4.0 kg-m, 22 - 29 ft-lb)
4. Run engine at idle speed for five minutes.
5. Check fluid level and condition. Refer to ªChecking A/T
Fluidº. If fluid is still dirty, repeat steps 2 through 5.
