ENGINE COOLANT
2. Install radiator drain plug.
If water drain plug on cylinder block is removed, close and tighten it. Refer to EM-100, "
Exploded
View".
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean radiator drain plug and install with new O-ring. Refer to CO-16, "
Component".
3. Make sure that each hose clamp has been firmly tightened.
4. Remove air duct assembly. Refer to EM-27, "
Exploded View".
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-19, "
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-27, "
Exploded View".
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.
2. Install radiator drain plug.
If water drain plug on cylinder block is removed, close and tighten it. Refer to EM-100, "
Exploded
View".
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean radiator drain plug and install with new O-ring. Refer to CO-16, "
Component".

REMOVAL
1. Drain engine coolant from radiator. Refer to CO-11, "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-27, "
Exploded View".
3. Remove reservoir tank.
4. Disconnect radiator hose (upper) at radiator side. Refer to CO-16, "
Component".
5. Disconnect harness connectors from fan motor, and move harness to aside.
6. Remove cooling fan assembly.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage or scratch the radiator core.
INSTALLATION
Installation is the reverse order of removal.
Cooling fans are controlled by ECM. For details, refer to CO-4, "
Engine Cooling System".
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage or scratch the radiator core.
