FRONT FOG LAMPPFP:26150
Component Parts and Harness Connector LocationEKS00P3Y
System DescriptionEKS00P3Z
The control of the front fog lamps is dependent upon the position of the combination switch (lighting switch).
The lighting switch must be in the 1ST position, 2ND position or AUTO position (LOW beam is ON) for front
fog lamp operation. When the lighting switch is placed in the front fog lamp position, the BCM (body control
module) receives input signal requesting the front fog lamps to illuminate. When the headlamps are illumi-
nated, this input signal is communicated to the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room)
through the CAN communication. The CPU (central processing unit) of the IPDM E/R controls the front fog
lamp relay coil. When activated, this relay directs power to the front fog lamps.

ENGINE MAINTENANCE
REFILLING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Install reservoir tank, and radiator drain plug.
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean radiator drain plug and install with new O-ring.
lIf water drain plug on cylinder block is removed, close and tighten it. Refer toEM-110, "CYLIN-
DER BLOCK".
2. Make sure that each hose clamp has been firmly tightened.
3. Fill radiator and reservoir tank to the specified level.
lPour engine coolant through engine coolant filler neck
slowly of less than 2 (1-3/4 lmp qt) a minute to allow air
in system to escape.
lUse Genuine NISSAN Anti-freeze Coolant (L250) or equiv-
alent in its quality. Refer toMA-14, "
RECOMMENDED
FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS"
lWhen engine coolant overflows air relief hole, install air relief
plug.
4. Warm up engine to normal operating temperature without radiator cap and reservoir tank cap installed.
lIf engine coolant overflows radiator filler hole and reservoir tank filler hole, install radiator cap
and reservoir tank cap.
5. Run engine at 3,000 rpm for 10 seconds and return to idle speed with radiator cap installed.
lRepeat two or three times.
CAUTION:
Watch engine coolant temperature gauge so as not to overheat the engine.
6. Stop engine and cool down to less than approximately 50°C(122°F).
lCool down using a fan to reduce the time.
lIf necessary, refill radiator up to filler neck with engine coolant.
7. Refill reservoir tank to MAX level line with engine coolant.
8. Repeat steps 3 through 6 two or more times with radiator cap installed until engine coolant level no longer
drops.
9. Check cooling system for leaks with engine running.
10. 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.
lSound may be noticeable at heater unit.Radiator drain plug:
