InspectionEBS00T7A
LEVEL CHECK
Check if the reservoir tank engine coolant level is within the
“MIN” to “MAX” range when engine is cool.
Adjust the engine coolant level as necessary.
CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
To check for leaks, apply pressure to the cooling system using Tool.
WAR NIN G:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious
burns could occur from high pressure coolant escaping from
the radiator.
CAUTION:
Higher pressure than specified may cause radiator damage.
Changing Engine CoolantEBS00T7B
WAR NIN G:
To avoid being scalded, do not change engine coolant when engine is hot.
Wrap a thick cloth around radiator cap and carefully remove the cap. First, turn the cap a quarter
of a turn to release built-up pressure. Then turn the cap all the way.
Be careful not to allow engine coolant to contact drive belt.
DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Open radiator drain plug (1) at the bottom of radiator, and then
remove radiator cap.
Front
When drain all of engine coolant in the system, open water
drain plug on cylinder block. Refer to EM-77, "
CYLINDER
BLOCK" .
CAUTION:
Perform this step when engine is cold.
Do not spill engine coolant on drive belt.
2. Remove reservoir tank as necessary, and drain engine coolant and clean reservoir tank before installing.
Refer to CO-11, "
RADIATOR" .
3. Check drained engine coolant for contaminants such as rust, corrosion or discoloration.
If contaminated, flush the engine cooling system. Refer to CO-9, "
FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM" .
REFILLING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Install reservoir tank if removed. Refer to CO-11, "RADIATOR" .
2. Install radiator drain plug.

If water drain plug on cylinder block is removed, close and tighten it. Refer to EM-77, "CYLIN-
DER BLOCK" .
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean radiator drain plug and install with new O-ring. Refer to CO-11, "
Components" .
3. Make sure that each hose clamp has been firmly tightened.
4. Remove air duct assembly. Refer to EM-16, "
AIR CLEANER AND AIR DUCT" .
5. Disconnect heater hose (1) at position ( ) as shown.
Front
Reposition heater hose as high as possible.
6. Fill radiator and reservoir tank to specified level.
Pour engine coolant through engine coolant filler neck
slowly of less than 2 (2 1/8 US qt, 1-3/4 lmp qt) a minute
to allow air in system to escape.
Use NISSAN Genuine Engine Coolant or equivalent
mixed with water (distilled or demineralized). Fill cooling
system to specification. Refer to MA-11, "
RECOM-
MENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS".
When engine coolant overflows disconnected heater hose,
connect heater hose, and continue filling the engine coolant, if
heater hose is disconnected.
7. Install radiator cap.
8. Install air duct assembly. Refer to EM-16, "
AIR CLEANER AND AIR DUCT" .
9. Warm up until opening thermostat. Standard for warming-up time is approximately 10 minutes at 3,000
rpm.
Make sure thermostat opening condition by touching radiator hose (lower) to see a flow of warm water.
CAUTION:
Watch water temperature gauge so as not to overheat the engine.
10. Stop engine and cool down to less than approximately 50°C (122°F).
Cool down using fan to reduce the time.
If necessary, refill radiator up to filler neck with engine coolant.
11. Refill reservoir tank to “MAX” level line with engine coolant.
12. Repeat steps 6 through 11 two or more times with radiator cap installed until engine coolant level no
longer drops.
13. Check cooling system for leaks with engine running.
14. 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”.
Sound may be noticeable at heater unit.
15. Repeat step 14 three times.
16. If sound is heard, bleed air from cooling system by repeating steps 6 through 11 until engine coolant level
no longer drops.
FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM
1. Install reservoir tank if removed. Refer to CO-11, "RADIATOR" .
2. Install radiator drain plug.

3. Fill radiator and reservoir tank with water and reinstall radiator cap.
4. Run engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
5. Rev engine two or three times under no-load.
6. Stop engine and wait until it cools down.
7. Drain water from the cooling system. Refer to CO-8, "
DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT" .
8. Repeat steps 1 through 7 until clear water begins to drain from radiator.

Removal and InstallationEBS00T7D
WAR NIN G:
Do not remove radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high-pressure
engine coolant escaping from radiator. Wrap a thick cloth around the cap. Slowly turn it a quarter of a
turn to release built-up pressure. Carefully remove radiator cap by turning it all the way.
REMOVAL
1. Drain engine coolant from radiator. Refer to CO-8, "Changing Engine Coolant" .
CAUTION:
Perform this step when engine is cold.
Do not spill engine coolant on drive belt.
2. Remove air duct (inlet). Refer to EM-16, "
AIR CLEANER AND AIR DUCT" .
3. Remove reservoir tank as follows:
a. Disconnect reservoir tank hose.
b. Release the tab (A) in the direction shown by the arrow ( ).
c. Lift up while removing the reservoir tank hose, and remove it.
4. Disconnect harness connector from fan motors, and move harness to aside.
5. Disconnect CVT or A/T fluid cooler hoses if equipped.
Install plug to avoid leakage of CVT or A/T fluid if equipped.
6. Remove radiator hoses (upper and lower).
7. Remove radiator core support cover. Refer toBL-20, "
RADIATOR CORE SUPPORT" .
8. Remove radiator core support (upper) bolts, bolts of stationary
part on the radiator core support side and clip. Lift radiator from
radiator (upper) mount part of radiator core support (upper) (2).
9. Move radiator assembly (1) to the rearward direction of vehicle,

Checking Radiator CapEBS00T7E
Check valve seat of radiator cap.
–Check if valve seat is swollen to the extent that the edge of the
plunger cannot be seen when watching it vertically from the top.
–Check if valve seat has no soil and damage.
Pull negative-pressure valve to open it, and make sure that it is
completely closed when released.
–Make sure that there is no dirt or damage on the valve seat of
radiator cap negative-pressure valve.
–Make sure that the valve operates properly in the opening and
closing conditions.
Check radiator cap relief pressure using Tool.
–When connecting the radiator cap to the tester, apply water or
coolant to the cap seal surface.
–Replace the radiator cap if there is an abnormality in the nega-
tive-pressure valve, or if the open-valve pressure is outside of
the standard values.
Replace radiator cap if there it does not comply to specifications to the above three checks.
CAUTION:
When installing radiator cap, thoroughly wipe out the radiator filler neck to remove any waxy residue
or foreign material.
Checking RadiatorEBS00T7F
Check radiator for mud or clogging. If necessary, clean radiator as follows.
Be careful not to bend or damage radiator fins.
When radiator is cleaned without removal, remove all surrounding parts such as cooling fan, radiator
shroud and horns. Then tape harness and connectors to prevent water from entering.
1. Apply water by hose to the back side of the radiator core vertically downward.
2. Apply water again to all radiator core surface once per minute.
3. Stop washing if any stains no longer flow out from radiator.
4. Blow air into the back side of radiator core vertically downward.
Use compressed air lower than 490 kPa (4.9 bar, 5 kg/cm2 , 71 psi) and keep distance more than 30 cm
(11.8 in).
