Revision: 2006 December 2006 FX35/FX45
ENGINE MAINTENANCE (VQ35DE ENGINE)PFP:10001
Checking Drive BeltsNLS00063
WARNING:
Be sure to perform when engine is stopped.
1. Inspect belts for cracks, fraying, wear and oil. If necessary, replace.
2. Inspect drive belt deflection or tension at a point on belt midway between pulleys.

Inspection should be done only when engine is cold, or over
30 minutes after engine is stopped.

Measure the belt tension with belt tension gauge (Commercial
service tool: BT3373-F or equivalent) at points marked
shown in the figure.

When measuring the deflection, apply 98 N (10 kg, 22 lb) at
the marked point.

Adjust if the belt deflection exceeds the limit or if the belt ten-
sion is not within specifications.
CAUTION:

When checking the belt deflection or the tension immediately after installation, first adjust it to
the specified value. Then, after turning crankshaft two turns or more, re-adjust to the specified
value to avoid variation in deflection between pulleys.

Tighten idler pulley lock nut by hand and measure the deflection or the tension without loose-
ness.
Belt Deflection and Tension
*: If belt tension gauge cannot be installed at check points shown, check drive belt tension at different location on belt.
Drive Belts Tension AdjustmentNLS00064
CAUTION:

When belt is replaced with a new one, adjust it to value for “New belt” to accommodate for insuffi-
cient adaptability with pulley grooves.

When deflection or tension of belt being used exceeds “Limit”, adjust it to value for “After adjust-
ment”.

When checking belt deflection or tension immediately after installation, first adjust it to the speci-
fied value. Then, after turning crankshaft two turns or more, re-adjust to the specified value to
avoid variation in deflection between pulleys.

When installing belt, make sure that it is correctly engaged with pulley grooves.

Keep engine oil, working fluid and engine coolant away from belt and pulley grooves.

Do not twist or bend belt excessively.

ALTERNATOR AND POWER STEERING OIL PUMP BELT
1. Remove front engine undercover with power tool.
2. Loosen idler pulley lock nut (A) and adjust tension by turning adjusting bolt (B).

For the specified belt tension, refer to EM-15, "Checking Drive
Belts" .
3. Tighten nut (A).
A/C COMPRESSOR BELT
1. Remove front engine undercover with power tool.
2. Loosen idler pulley lock nut (C) and adjust tension by turning adjusting bolt (D).

For the specified belt tension, refer to EM-15, "Checking Drive Belts" .
3. Tighten nut (C).
Changing Engine CoolantNLS00065
WARNING:

To avoid being scalded, do not change engine coolant when the engine is hot.

Wrap a thick cloth around radiator cap and carefully remove radiator cap. First, turn radiator cap a
quarter of a turn to release built-up pressure. Then turn radiator cap all the way.

Be careful not to allow engine coolant to contact drive belts.
DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Remove front engine undercover with power tool.
2. Open radiator drain plug at the bottom of radiator, and then remove radiator cap.
When draining all of engine coolant in the system, open water drain plugs on cylinder block. Refer
to EM-124, "
DISASSEMBLY" .

ENGINE MAINTENANCE (VK45DE ENGINE)PFP:10001
Checking Drive BeltsNLS0006C
WARNING:
Be sure to perform when the engine is stopped.

Remove air duct (inlet) when inspecting drive belt for alternator, water pump and A/C compressor.

Remove front engine undercover with power tool when inspecting power steering oil pump belt.

Make sure that indicator (single line notch) of each auto tensioner is within the allowable working range
(between three line notches).
NOTE:

Check auto tensioner indication when engine is cold.

When new drive belt is installed, the range should be “A”.

The indicator notch is located on the moving side of the tensioner for alternator, water pump and A/C
compressor belt, while it is found on the fixed side for power steering oil pump belt.

Visually check entire belt for wear, damage or cracks.

If the indicator is out of allowable working range or belt is damaged, replace belt.
Tension AdjustmentNLS0006D
Belt tensioning is not necessary, as it is automatically adjusted by auto tensioner.
Changing Engine CoolantNLS0006E
WARNING:

To avoid being scalded, do not change engine coolant when engine is hot.

Wrap a thick cloth around radiator cap and carefully remove radiator cap. First, turn radiator cap a
quarter of a turn to release built-up pressure. Then turn radiator cap all the way.

Be careful not to allow engine coolant to contact drive belts.
