Cool down using fan to reduce the time.

If necessary, refill radiator up to filler neck with engine coolant.
8. Refill reservoir tank to “MAX” level line with engine coolant.
9. Repeat steps 4 through 7 two or more times with radiator cap installed until engine coolant level no longer drops.
10. Check cooling system for leaks with engine running.
11. Warm up the engine, and check for sound of engine coolant flow while running engine from idle up to 3,000 rpm with heater temperature controller set at several position between “COOL” and “WARM”.

Sound may be noticeable at heater unit.
12. Repeat step 11 three times.
13. If sound is heard, bleed air from cooling system by repeating step 4 through 7 until engine coolant level no longer drops.
FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM
1. Install reservoir tank, and radiator drain plug.
If water drain plugs on cylinder block are removed, close and tighten them. Refer to EM-128,
"ASSEMBLY" .
2. Remove air relief plug on heater hose.
3. Fill radiator with water until water spills from the air relief hole, then close air relief plug. Fill radiator and reservoir tank with water and reinstall radiator cap.
4. Run the engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
5. Rev engine two or three times under no-load.
6. Stop the engine and wait until it cools down.
7. Drain water from the system. Refer to CO-11, "
DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT" .
8. Repeat steps 1 through 7 until clear water begins to drain from radiator.
Checking Fuel LinesALS000GI
Inspect fuel lines, filler cap and tank for improper attachment, leaks,
cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing or deterioration.
If necessary, repair or replace damaged parts. Radiator drain plug:
: 1.18 N·m (0.12 kg-m, 10 in-lb)

Use Genuine Nissan long Life Antifreeze/Coolant or equivalent mixed with water (distilled or
demineralized). Refer to MA-12, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS" .

When engine coolant overflows air relief hole on heater hose,
install air relief plug.
5. Install radiator cap.
6. Warm up until opening thermostat. Standard for warming-up time is approximately 10 minutes at 3,000 rpm.

Make sure thermostat opening condition by touching radiator hose (lower) to see a flow of warm water.
CAUTION:
Watch water temperature gauge so as not to overheat engine.
7. 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 engine coolant up to filler neck of thermostat housing.
8. Refill reservoir tank to “MAX” level line with engine coolant.
9. Repeat steps 4 through 7 two or more times with radiator cap installed until engine coolant level no longer drops.
10. Check cooling system for leaks with engine running.
11. Warm up engine, and check for sound of engine coolant flow while running engine from idle up to 3,000 rpm with heater temperature controller set at several position between “COOL” and “WARM”.

Sound may be noticeable at heater unit.
12. Repeat step 11 three times.
13. If sound is heard, bleed air from cooling system by repeating steps 4 through 7 until engine coolant level no longer drops.
FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM
1. Install reservoir tank, and radiator drain plug.
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new O-ring.
If water drain plugs on cylinder block are removed, close and tighten them. Refer to EM-249,
"ASSEMBLY" .
Engine coolant capacity
(With reservoir tank at “MAX” level):
Approx. 10.0 (10-5/8 US qt, 8-3/4 Imp qt)
Reservoir tank engine coolant capacity
(At “MAX” level):
0.8 (7/8 US qt, 3/4 lmp qt)

REMOVAL
1. Remove tire with power tool.
2. Remove brake caliper with power tool. Hang it in a place where it will not interfere with work. Refer to BR-
26, "REAR DISC BRAKE" .
NOTE:
Avoid depressing brake pedal while brake caliper is removed.
3. Remove wheel sensor from rear final drive, then remove wheel sensor harness from rear suspension member. Refer to BRC-57, "
WHEEL SENSORS" .
4. Remove height sensor harness from rear suspension member (if equipped).
5. Remove center muffler and main muffler. Refer to EX-3, "
EXHAUST SYSTEM" .
6. Remove stabilizer bar. Refer to RSU-16, "
Removal and Installation" .
7. Remove rear drive shaft. Refer to RAX-9, "
REAR DRIVE SHAFT" .
8. Remove rear final drive. Refer to RFD-14, "
Removal and Installation" .
9. Separate attachments between parking brake cable and vehicle and rear suspension member. Refer to PB-3, "
PARKING BRAKE CONTROL" .
10. Remove rear lower link and coil spring. Refer to RSU-15, "
Removal and Installation" .
11. Remove fixing bolt in lower side of shock absorber with power tool.
12. Set jack under rear suspension member.
13. Remove fixing bolts and nuts of tunnel stay and member stay with power tool, then remove those parts from vehicle.

Self-DiagnosisAES000Z7
DESCRIPTION
During driving, the low tire pressure warning system receives the signal transmitted from the transmitter
installed in each wheel, and gives alarms when the tire pressure becomes low. The control unit (BCM) of this
system has pressure judgement and trouble diagnosis functions.
FUNCTION
When the low tire pressure warning system detects low inflation pressure or another unusual symptom, the
warning lamps in the combination meter comes on. To start the self-diagnostic results mode, ground terminal
of the tire pressure warning check connector. The malfunction location is indicated by the warning lamp flash-
ing and the buzzer sounds.
