If contaminated, flush engine cooling system. Refer toCO-32,
"FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM".
REFILLING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Install reservoir tank, radiator drain plug and cylinder block drain plug.
Apply sealant to the thread of cylinder block drain plug.
lUse Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.
2. Fill radiator slowly with coolant until coolant spills from the air
relief plugs, then install air relief plugs.
CAUTION:
If the filling rate is too fast, this could lead to air being
mixed in the coolant. Be sure to fill the coolant slowly
according to the rate indicated above.
lReplace the copper washer of the air bleeding plug.
lUse genuine Nissan anti-freeze coolant or equivalent mixed with water (distilled or demineralized).
Refer toMA-17, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS".
lPour coolant through coolant filler neck slowly of less than 2 (1-3/4 lmp qt) a minute to allow air
in system to escape.

Fuel FilterEBS0036N
DESCRIPTION
A water draining cock is on the lower side and a priming pump for bleeding air is on the upper side.
AIR BLEEDING
Pump the priming pump to bleed air.
lWhen air is bled completely, the pumping of the priming pump
suddenly becomes heavy. Stop the operation at that time.
lIf it is difficult to bleed air by the pumping of the priming pump
(the pumping of the priming pump does not become heavy), dis-
connect the fuel supply hose between the fuel filter and the fuel
gallery. Then, perform the operation described above, and make
sure that fuel comes out. (Use a pan, etc. so as not to spill fuel.
Do not let fuel get on engine and other parts.) After that, connect
the hose, then bleed air again.
lStart engine and let it idle for at least one minute after perform-
ing air bleeding.
WATER DRAINING
1. Remove the fuel filter, filter bracket, protector assembly from the dash panel as follows.
a. Remove the air cleaner case (upper), air duct assembly, and vacuum hose for brake booster (between the
vacuum pump and vacuum pipe).
CAUTION:
After the duct is removed, cover the opening with gum tape, etc. to prevent foreign object from
getting into the engine during the operation.
b. Remove the mounting nuts on the dash panel, then remove the fuel filter, filter bracket, and protector
assembly from the dash panel.
lIt is not necessary to disconnect the fuel hose.
2. Using a tool such as a pliers, loosen the water draining cock at the bottom of the fuel filter.
Accelerator Pedal Released Position LearningEBS009NW
DESCRIPTION
"Accelerator Pedal Released Position Learning" is an operating to learn the fully released position of the
accelerator pedal by monitoring the accelerator pedal position sensor output signal. It must be performed
when accelerator work unit or ECM is replaced.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Turn ignition switch "ON".
2. Select "OFF ACCEL PO SIG" in "ACTIVE TEST" mode with
CONSULT-II
3. Make sure that accelerator pedal is released.
