5. CHECK WHEEL SENSOR HARNESS
1. Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect malfunctioning wheel
sensor connector E46 (FR-LH), E33 (FR-RH) or B69 (RR) and
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector.
2. Check continuity between terminals. (Also check the continuity
when steering wheel is turned right and left and when sensor
harness inside wheel well is moved.)
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 6.
NG >> Repair or replace harness and connector that have malfunction.
6. CHECK WHEEL SENSOR
1. Replace wheel sensor that resulted in malfunction by self-diagnosis.
2. Reconnect connectors, drive vehicle at 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more for approximately 1 minute, and then
perform self-diagnosis.
Is above displayed on self-diagnosis display?
OK >> Wheel sensor has malfunction.
NG >>
Replace ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).
Perform to self-diagnosis again, and make sure that the result shows “NO DTC IS DETECTED.
FURTHER TESTING MAY BE REQUIRED”.

CAUTION:
When on a turntable, such as at a parking structure entrance, or when on a moving object with engine
running, VDC OFF indicator lamp might turn on and self-diagnosis using CONSULT-II the yaw rate sen-
sor system might be displayed, but in this case there is no malfunction in yaw rate sensor system. As
soon as vehicle leaves turntable or moving object, restart engine to return the system to normal.

PRECAUTIONS
Revision: 2004 November 2004 FX35/FX45
3. Attach liquid gasket tube to tube presser [SST: WS39930000 ( –
)].
Use Genuine RTV Silicone Sealant or equivalent. Refer to
GI-48, "
RECOMMENDED CHEMICAL PRODUCTS AND
SEALANTS" .
4. Apply liquid gasket without breaks to the specified location with
the specified dimensions.
If there is a groove for the liquid gasket application, apply liq-
uid gasket to the groove.
As for the bolt holes, normally apply liquid gasket inside the
holes. Occasionally, it should be applied outside the holes.
Make sure to read the text of service manual.
Within five minutes of liquid gasket application, install the mat-
ing component.
If liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.
Do not retighten mounting bolts and nuts after the installation.
After 30 minutes or more have passed from the installation, fill
engine oil and engine coolant.
CAUTION:
If there are specific instructions in this manual, observe them.

LEVEL CHECK
Check if the reservoir tank engine coolant level is within the
“MIN” to “MAX” when engine is cool.
Adjust the engine coolant level as necessary.
CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
To check for leaks, apply pressure to the cooling system with
radiator cap tester (commercial service tool) and radiator cap
tester adapter (SST).
WARNING:
Do not remove radiator cap when engine is hot. Serious
burns could occur from high-pressure engine coolant
escaping from radiator.
CAUTION:
Higher test pressure than specified may cause radiator
damage.
NOTE:
In a case that engine coolant decreases, replenish radiator with engine coolant.
If anything is found, repair or replace damaged parts.
Changing Engine CoolantABS004T9
WARNING:
To avoid being scalded, never change engine coolant when engine is hot.
Wrap a thick cloth around cap and carefully remove cap. First, turn cap a quarter of a turn to
release built-up pressure. Then turn cap all the way.
DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Remove front engine undercover with power tool.
2. Open radiator drain plug at the bottom of radiator, and remove
radiator cap.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to allow engine coolant to contact drive belts.
When drain all of engine coolant in the system, open water drain plugs on cylinder block. Refer to
EM-121, "
DISASSEMBLY" .
3. Check drained engine coolant for contaminants such as rust, corrosion or discoloration.

If contaminated, flush the engine cooling system. Refer to CO-13, "FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM" .
4. Remove reservoir tank, drain engine coolant and clean reservoir tank before installing.
REFILLING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Install reservoir tank if removed, and radiator drain plug.
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new O-ring.
If water drain plugs are removed, close and tighten them. Refer to EM-126, "
ASSEMBLY" .
2. Remove air relief plug on heater hose.
3. Fill radiator and reservoir tank to specified level.
Use Genuine Nissan Long Life Antifreeze/ Coolant or
equivalent mixed with water (distilled or demineralized).
Refer to MA-12, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRI-
CANTS".
Pour engine coolant through engine coolant filler neck
slowly of less than 2 (2-1/8 US qt,1-3/4 lmp qt) a minute
to allow air in system to escape.
When engine coolant overflows air relief hole on heater hose,
install air relief plug with new O-ring.
4. Warm up engine to normal operating temperature with radiator cap installed.
5. Run engine at 3,000 rpm for 10 seconds and return to idle speed.
Repeat two or three times.
CAUTION:
Watch engine coolant temperature gauge so as not to overheat engine.
6. Stop engine and cool down to less than approximately 50°C (122°F).
Cool down using a fan to reduce the time.
If necessary, refill radiator up to filler neck with engine coolant.
