Removal and Installation (Crankshaft Driven Type)EBS00I51
REMOVAL
1. Remove air duct. Refer to EM-14, "REMOVAL" .
2. Remove the engine front undercover using power tool.
3. Remove the lower radiator shroud. Refer to CO-10, "
RADIATOR" .
4. Remove cooling fan.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Fan Coupling
Inspect fan coupling for oil leakage and bimetal conditions.
Fan Bracket

Visually check that there is no significant looseness in the fan
bracket shaft, and that it turns smoothly by hand.

If there are any unusual concerns, replace the cooling fan pulley.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

Install cooling fan with its front mark “F” facing front of engine. Refer to CO-13, "Removal and Installation
(Crankshaft Driven Type)" .
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Check for leaks of the engine coolant. Refer to CO-8, "CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS" .

Start and warm up the engine. Visually make sure that there are no leaks of the engine coolant.

THERMOSTAT AND WATER PIPING
2004 QX56
CAUTION:
Perform when the engine is cold.
2. Remove air duct and resonator assembly. Refer to EM-14, "
REMOVAL" .
3. Remove engine room cover using power tools.
4. Disconnect heater hose (heater core side).
5. Remove heater hose bracket.
6. Disconnect the water cut valve connector.
7. Remove the water cut valve
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Place a thread so that it is caught in the valve of the thermostat.
Immerse fully in a container filled with water. Heat while stirring.

The valve opening temperature is the temperature at which the
valve opens and falls from the thread.

Continue heating. Check the full-open lift amount.

After checking the full-open lift amount, lower the water temper-
ature and check the valve closing temperature.
Standard values:
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
Installation of Thermostat

Install the thermostat with the whole circumference of each
flange part fit securely inside the rubber ring as shown.

Install the thermostat with the jiggle valve facing upwards.
Installation of Water Outlet Pipe and Heater Pipe
First apply a neutral detergent to the O-rings, then quickly insert the insertion parts of the water outlet pipe and
heater pipe into the installation holes.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Check for leaks of the engine coolant. Refer to CO-8, "CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS" .

Start and warm up the engine. Visually make sure that there is no leaks of the engine coolant.

*1: This item includes 1st trip DTCs.
*2: This mode includes 1st trip freeze frame data or freeze frame data. The items appear on CONSULT-II screen in freeze frame data
mode only if a 1st trip DTC or DTC is detected. For details, refer to EC-54, "
FREEZE FRAME DATA AND 1ST TRIP FREEZE FRAME
DATA" .
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
CAUTION:
If CONSULT-II is used with no connection of CONSULT-II CONVERTER, malfunctions might be
detected in self-diagnosis depending on control unit which carry out CAN communication.
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Connect “CONSULT-II” and “CONSULT-II CONVERTER” to
data link connector, which is located under LH dash panel near
the center console.
3. Turn ignition switch ON.
4. Touch “START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)”.
