2005 NISSAN X-TRAIL radiator cap

CO-44
[YD22DDTi]
WATER PUMP

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Visually check if there is no significant dirt or rusting on the
water pump body and vane.

Make sure that there is no looseness in the vane shaft, and that
it turns smoothly when rotated by hand.

If there are any unusualness, replace water pump assembly as
necessary.
INSTALLATION

Installation is the reverse order of removal.

Install water pump pulley with the front mark (painted white, used to prevent errors during assembly) fac-
ing the front of engine. Refer to CO-43, "
WATER PUMP" .
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Check for leaks of engine coolant using the radiator cap tester adapter (special service tool:
EG17650301) and the radiator cap tester (commercial service tool). Refer to CO-32, "
CHECKING RADIA-
TOR SYSTEM FOR LEAKS" .

Start and warm up engine. Visually check if there is no leaks of engine coolant.

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Thermostat

Place a string so that it is caught in the valves 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

If out of the standard, replace thermostat.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.

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

Install the thermostat with the jiggle valve facing upwards.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Check for leaks of engine coolant using the radiator cap tester adapter (special service tool:
EG17650301) and the radiator cap tester (commercial service tool). Refer to CO-32, "
CHECKING RADIA-
TOR SYSTEM FOR LEAKS" .

Start and warm up engine. Visually check if there is no leaks of engine coolant.

CONSULT-II Reference Value in Data Monitor ModeEBS010TA
Specification data are reference values.
On Board Diagnosis LogicEBS010TB
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.
This self-diagnosis has the one trip detection logic.
CAUTION:
When a malfunction is indicated, be sure to replace the coolant. Refer to CO-9, "
Changing Engine
Coolant" . Also, replace the engine oil. Refer to LU-8, "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 to MA-19, "
Engine Coolant Mixture Ratio" .
2. After refilling coolant, run engine to ensure that no water-flow noise is emitted.
Overall Function CheckEBS010TC
Use this procedure to check the overall function of the cooling fan. During this check, a DTC might not be con-
firmed.
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.
Wrap 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.

6. CHECK COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAK
Apply pressure to the cooling system with a tester, and check if the pressure drops.
CAUTION:
Higher than the specified pressure may cause radiator damage.
