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. Serious
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 ªDiagnos-
tic Procedureº, EC-114.
2) Confirm whether customer filled the coolant or not. If customer filled the coolant, skip the following steps and go to ªDiagnos-
tic Procedureº, EC-114.
3) Turn ignition switch ªONº.
4) Perform ªCOOLING FANº in ªACTIVE TESTº mode with CON- SULT-II and make sure that cooling fans operate when touch-
ing ªHIGHº or ªLOWº.
If NG, go to ªDiagnostic Procedureº, EC-114.

3) Disconnect engine coolant temperature sensor harness con- nector.
4) Connect 150W resistor to engine coolant temperature sensor
harness connector.
5) Start engine and make sure that cooling fan operates. Be careful not to overheat engine.

When engine coolant temperature is more than approximately 75ÉC
(167ÉF), the glow relay turns off, inactivating the quick-glow control
until coolant temperature drops below approximately 55ÉC (131ÉF).
When coolant temperature is lower than approximately 75ÉC
(167ÉF):
I
Ignition switch ON
After ignition switch has turned to ON, the glow relay turns ON
for a certain period of time in relation to engine coolant
temperature, allowing current to flow through glow plug.
I Cranking
The glow relay turns ON, allowing current to flow through glow
plug.
I Starting
After engine has started, current continues to flow through glow
plug (after-glow mode) for a certain period in relation to engine
coolant temperature.
When engine speed exceeds approximately 4,800 rpm, current
flow through glow plug is interrupted.
The glow indicator lamp turns ON for a certain period of time in
relation to engine coolant temperature at the time glow relay is
turned ON.
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Glow plug
I The glow plug is provided with a ceramic heating element to
obtain a high-temperature resistance. It glows in response to a
signal sent from the ECM, allowing current to flow through the
glow plug via the glow relay.
I This engine uses two types of glow plugs.
Type A has a blue or yellow paint mark.
Type B has no paint mark.
The location of the paint mark is shown in the figure.
WARNING:
Do not use two types of glow plugs at the same time.

Component Description
Engine oil pressure switches that monitor oil pressure at high
engine speed (switch-2) and oil pressure at low engine speed
(switch-1) are located on oil passage.
For detection of oil pressure at low engine speed, engine oil pres-
sure switch-1 turns oil pressure warning lamp ON if oil pressure
drops too low under normal engine running speed (below specified
pressure of engine oil pressure switch-1 at low engine speed).
For detection of oil pressure at high engine speed, engine oil pres-
sure switch-2 sends an ON signal to the ECM if oil pressure drops
lower than specified value when engine is running at high speed or
under high loading. Then the ECM turns oil pressure warning lamp
ON.

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 result in dam-
age to the ECM's transistor. Use a ground other than ECM terminals, such as the ground.

Precautions
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) ªAIR BAGº AND ªSEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONERº
The Supplemental Restraint System such as ªAIR BAGº and ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº used along with
a seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain types of
collision. The SRS composition which is available to NISSAN MODEL R20 is as follows (The composition
varies according to the destination and optional equipment.):
IFor a frontal collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of driver air bag module (located in the center of the steer-
ing wheel), front passenger air bag module (located on the instrument panel on passenger side), front seat
belt pre-tensioners, a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring harness and spiral cable.
I For a side collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of front side air bag module (located in the outer side of front
seat), side air bag (satellite) sensor, diagnosis sensor unit (one of components of air bags for a frontal
collision), wiring harness, warning lamp (one of components of air bags for a frontal collision).
WARNING:
I To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death
in the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance should be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN dealer.
I Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system.
I Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. Spiral cable and wiring harnesses covered with yellow insulation tape either just
before the harness connectors or for the complete harness are related to the SRS.
PRECAUTIONS
IBefore connecting or disconnecting the ECM harness
connector, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect nega-
tive battery terminal. Failure to do so may damage the ECM
because battery voltage is applied to ECM even if ignition
switch is turned off.
I Do not disassemble ECM.
