Specification data are reference values.
On Board Diagnosis LogicEBS01KFM
If the cooling fan or another component in the cooling system malfunctions, engine coolant temperature will
rise.
When the engine coolant temperature reaches an abnormally high temperature condition, a malfunction is
indicated.
CAUTION:
When a malfunction is indicated, be sure to replace the coolant. Refer toCO-7, "
Changing Engine
Coolant". Also, replace the engine oil. Refer toLU-6, "Changing Engine Oil".
1. Fill radiator with coolant up to specified level with a filling speed of 2 liters per minute. Be sure to
use coolant with the proper mixture ratio. Refer toMA-16, "
Engine Coolant Mixture Ratio".
2. After refilling coolant, run engine to ensure that no water-flow noise is emitted.
Overall Function CheckEBS01KFN
Use this procedure to check the overall function of the cooling fan. During this check, a DTC might not be con-
firmed.
WARNING:
lNever remove a radiator cap and/or a reservoir tank cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns
could be caused by high pressure fluid escaping from the radiator and the reservoir tank.
lWrap a thick cloth around 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.

*1: Turn the ignition switch ON.
*2: Engine running at 3,000 rpm for 10 minutes.
*3: Drive at 90 km/h (55 MPH) for 30 minutes and then let idle for 10 minutes.
*4: After 60 minutes of cool down time.

lTo prevent serious burns:
Avoid contact with hot metal parts.
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.
lDispose of drained oil or the solvent used for cleaning parts in
an appropriate manner.
lDo not attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle
shuts off automatically.
Continued refueling may cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel
spray and possibly a fire.
lClean all disassembled parts in the designated liquid or solvent
prior to inspection or assembly.
lReplace oil seals, gaskets, packings, O-rings, locking washers, cotter pins, self-locking nuts, etc. with new
ones.
lReplace inner and outer races of tapered roller bearings and needle bearings as a set.
lArrange the disassembled parts in accordance with their assembled locations and sequence.
lDo not touch the terminals of electrical components which use microcomputers (such as ECM).
Static electricity may damage internal electronic components.
lAfter disconnecting vacuum or air hoses, attach a tag to indicate the proper connection.
lUse only the fluids and lubricants specified in this manual.
lUse approved bonding agent, sealants or their equivalents when required.
lUse tools and recommended special tools where specified for safe and efficient service repairs.
lWhen repairing the fuel, oil, water, vacuum or exhaust systems, check all affected lines for leaks.
lBefore servicing the vehicle:
Protect fenders, upholstery and carpeting with appropriate cov-
ers.
Take caution that keys, buckles or buttons do not scratch paint.
WARNING:
To prevent ECM from storing the diagnostic trouble codes, do not carelessly disconnect the harness
connectors which are related to the engine control system and TCM (transmission control module)
system. The connectors should be disconnected only when working according to the WORK FLOW of
TROUBLE DIAGNOSES in EC and AT sections.
Precautions for Three Way CatalystEAS001GL
If a large amount of unburned fuel flows into the catalyst, the catalyst temperature will be excessively high. To
prevent this, follow the instructions.
lUse unleaded gasoline only. Leaded gasoline will seriously damage the three way catalyst.
lWhen checking for ignition spark or measuring engine compression, make tests quickly and only when
necessary.
lDo not run engine when the fuel tank level is low, otherwise the engine may misfire, causing damage to
the catalyst.
Do not place the vehicle on flammable material. Keep flammable material off the exhaust pipe and the three
way catalyst.
Precautions for FuelEAS001GM
GASOLINE ENGINE
Use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of at least 95 (RON).

RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS
Engine Coolant Mixture Ratio
ELS001JC
The engine cooling system is filled at the factory with a high-quality,
year-round and extended life engine coolant. The high quality engine
coolant contains the specific solutions effective for the anti-corrosion
and the anti-freeze function. Therefore, additional cooling system
additives are not necessary.
CAUTION:
lWhen adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only Gen-
uine NISSAN Anti-freeze Coolant (L250) or equivalent in its
quality. Because L250 is premixed type coolant.
The use of other types of engine coolant may damage your
cooling system.
lWhen checking the engine coolant mixture ratio by the coolant
hydrometer, use the chart below to correct your hydrometer reading (specific gravity) according to coolant
temperature.
Mixed coolant specific gravity
Unit: specific gravity
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could be caused by high pres-
sure fluid escaping from the radiator. Wait until the engine and radiator cool down.
