2006 NISSAN PATROL Engine

OVERALL FUNCTION CHECK
Use this procedure to check the overall function of the cooling fan.
During this check, a DTC might not be con®rmed.
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious
burns could be caused by high pressure ¯uid escaping from
the radiator.
Wrap a thick cloth around the 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) Check the coolant level in the reservoir tank and radiator.
Allow engine to cool before checking coolant level.
If the coolant level in the reservoir tank and/or radiator is below
the proper range, skip the following steps and go to ``DIAG-
NOSTIC PROCEDURE'', EC-117.
2) Con®rm whether customer ®lled the coolant or not. If customer
®lled the coolant, skip the following steps and go to ``DIAGNOS-
TIC PROCEDURE'', EC-117.
3) Turn ignition switch ``ON''.
4) Perform ``COOLING FAN'' in ``ACTIVE TEST'' mode with
CONSULT and make sure that cooling fan operates
when touching ``ON''.

3) Disconnect engine coolant temperature sensor harness
connector.
4) Connect 150Wresistor to engine coolant temperature
sensor harness connector.
5) Start engine and make sure that cooling fan operates.
Be careful not to overheat engine.

CHECK COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAK.
Apply pressure to the cooling system with
a tester, and check if the pressure drops.
Testing pressure:
157 kPa (1.57 bar, 1.6 kg/cm
2, 23 psi)
Pressure should not drop.
CAUTION:
Higher than the speci®ed pressure may
cause radiator damage.
OK
cNG
Check the following for
leak.
+Hose
+Radiator
+Water pump
Refer to LC section (``Water
Pump'').
CHECK RADIATOR CAP.
Apply pressure to cap with a tester.
Radiator cap relief pressure:
78 - 98 kPa (0.78 - 0.98 bar, 0.8 - 1.0
kg/cm
2, 11 - 14 psi)
OK
cNG
Replace radiator cap.
CHECK THERMOSTAT.
1. Check valve seating condition at normal
room temperatures.
It should seat tightly.
2. Check valve opening temperature and
valve lift.
Valve opening temperature:
82ÉC (180ÉF) [standard]
Maximum valve lift:
More than 10 mm/95ÉC
(0.39 in/203ÉF)
3. Check if valve is closed at 5ÉC (9ÉF)
below valve opening temperature.
For details, refer to LC section (``Thermo-
stat'').
OK
cNG
Replace thermostat.
Check engine coolant temperature sensor.
Refer to ``COMPONENT INSPECTION'',
EC-82.
OK
cNG
Replace engine coolant
temperature sensor.
If the cause cannot be isolated, go to
``MAIN 12 CAUSES OF OVERHEATING''
on next page.
INSPECTION END
Perform FINAL CHECK by the following procedure after repair
is completed.
1. Warm up engine. Run the vehicle for at least 20 minutes. Pay
attention to engine coolant temperature gauge on the instrument
panel. If the reading shows an abnormally high temperature,
another part may be malfunctioning.
2. Stop vehicle and let engine idle. Check the intake and exhaust
systems for leaks by listening for noise or visually inspecting the
components.
3. Allow engine to cool and visually check for oil and coolant leaks.
Then, perform ``OVERALL FUNCTION CHECK''.

Charge Air Temperature Sensor
The charge air temperature sensor is used to detect the charge air
temperature. The sensor modi®es a voltage signal from the ECM.
The modi®ed signal returns to the ECM as the charge air tempera-
ture input. The sensor uses a thermistor which is sensitive to the
change in temperature. The electrical resistance of the thermistor
decreases as temperature increases.
The ECM uses this signal for the charge air cooler control.

The needle lift sensor is built into the No. 1 injection nozzle. Its
piezoelectric element senses changes in fuel injection timing
caused by fuel temperature, etc. This change of fuel injection tim-
