ECM Terminals and Reference Value
Specification data are reference values and are measured between each terminal and ground.
CAUTION:
Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/output voltage. Doing so may damage the
ECM's transistor. Use a ground other than ECM terminals, such as the ground.

On Board Diagnosis Logic
This diagnosis continuously monitors the engine coolant temperature.
If the cooling fan or another component in the cooling system malfunctions, engine coolant temperature will
rise.
When the engine coolant temperature reaches an abnormally high temperature condition, a malfunction is
indicated.
Malfunction is detected when ... Check Items (Possible Cause)
+Cooling fan does not operate properly (Overheat).
+Cooling fan system does not operate properly (Overheat).
+Engine coolant was not added to the system using the proper
filling method.+Harness or connectors
(The cooling fan circuit is open or shorted.)
+Cooling fan
+Radiator hose
+Radiator
+Radiator cap
+Water pump
+Thermostat

For more information, refer to ªMAIN 12 CAUSES OF
OVERHEATINGº, EC-1116.
CAUTION:
When a malfunction is indicated, be sure to replace the coolant following the procedure in the MA
section (ªChanging Engine Coolantº, ªENGINE MAINTENANCEº). Also, replace the engine oil.
1) Fill radiator with coolant up to specified level with a filling speed of 2 liters per minute. Be sure
to use coolant with the proper mixture ratio. Refer to MA section (ªAnti-freeze Coolant Mixture
Ratioº, ªRECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS AND FLUIDSº).
2) After refilling coolant, run engine to ensure that no water-flow noise is emitted.

Overall Function Check
Use this procedure to check the overall function of the cooling
fan. During this check, a DTC might not be confirmed.
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Seri-
ous burns could be caused by high pressure fluid escaping
from the radiator.
Wrap a thick cloth around the cap. Carefully remove the cap
by turning it a quarter turn to allow built-up pressure to
escape. Then turn the cap all the way off.
WITH CONSULT-II
1) Check the coolant level in the reservoir tank and radiator.
Allow engine to cool before checking coolant level.
If the coolant level in the reservoir tank and/or radiator is
below the proper range, skip the following steps and go to
ªDiagnostic Procedureº, EC-1109.
2) Confirm whether customer filled the coolant or not. If cus-
tomer filled the coolant, skip the following steps and go to
ªDiagnostic Procedureº, EC-1109.
3) Turn ignition switch ªONº.
4) Perform ªCOOLING FANº in ªACTIVE TESTº mode with
CONSULT-II and make sure that cooling fans operate when
touching ªHIGHº or ªLOWº.

Engine Coolant Mixture Ratio
The engine cooling system is filled at the factory with a high-
quality, year-round and extended life engine coolant. The high
quality engine coolant contains the specific solutions effective for
the anti-corrosion and the anti-freeze function. Therefore, addi-
tional cooling system additives are not necessary.
CAUTION:
+When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only
Genuine Nissan Anti-freeze Coolant (L2N) or equivalent.
Because L2N is premixed type coolant (Mixture ratio
50%).
The use of other types of engine coolant may damage your
cooling system.
+When checking the engine coolant mixture ratio by the cool-
ant hydrometer, use the chart below to correct your hydrom-
eter reading (specific gravity) according to coolant tempera-
ture.

from the radiator. Wait until the engine and radiator cool
down.
