4. Remove reservoir tank as necessary, and drain engine coolant and clean reservoir tank before installing.
5. Check drained engine coolant for contaminants such as rust, corrosion or discoloration.
If contaminated, flush the engine cooling system. Refer to CO-13, "
FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM" .
REFILLING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Install reservoir tank if removed, and radiator drain plug.
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new O-ring.
If water drain plugs on cylinder block are removed, close and tighten them. Refer to EM-129,
"ASSEMBLY" .
2. Make sure that each hose clamp has been firmly tightened.
3. Remove air relief plug on heater hose.
4. Fill radiator, and reservoir tank if removed, 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 Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant or
equivalent mixed with water (distilled or demineralized).
Refer to MA-12, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRI-
CANTS" .
When engine coolant overflows air relief hole on heater hose,
install air relief plug with new O-ring.
5. Install radiator cap.
6. Warm up engine 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 engine.Radiator drain plug:

CAUTION:
Watch water temperature gauge so as not to overheat engine.
7. Stop engine and cool down to less than approximately 50°C (122°F).
Cool down using a fan to reduce the time.
If necessary, refill engine coolant up to filler neck of thermostat housing.
8. Refill reservoir tank to “MAX” level line with engine coolant.
9. Repeat steps 4 through 7 two or more times with radiator cap installed until engine coolant level no longer
drops.
10. Check cooling system for leaks with engine running.Radiator drain plug:

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Check for leaks of engine coolant using radiator cap tester adapter (commercial service tool) and radiator
cap tester (commercial service tool). Refer to CO-40, "
LEAK CHECK" .
Start and warm up engine. Visually Check if there is no leaks of engine coolant and A/T fluid.
Checking Radiator CapNBS004RI
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
close completely when released.
–Make sure that there is no dirt or damage on the valve seat of
radiator cap negative-pressure valve.
–Make sure that there are no unusualness in the opening and
closing conditions of negative-pressure valve.
Check radiator cap relief pressure.
–When connecting radiator cap to the radiator cap tester adapter
(commercial service tool) (B) and the radiator cap tester (com-
mercial service tool) (A), apply engine coolant to the cap seal
surface.
Replace radiator cap if there is an unusualness.
CAUTION:
When installing a radiator cap, thoroughly wipe out the radiator filler neck to remove any waxy residue
or foreign material.
Checking RadiatorNBS004RJ
Check radiator for mud or clogging. If necessary, clean radiator as follows:
Be careful not to bend or damage the radiator fins.
When radiator is cleaned without removal, remove all surrounding parts such as cooling fan, radiator
shroud and horns. Then tape the harness and electrical 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.
