Removal and InstallationINFOID:0000000001325885
REMOVAL
1. Drain engine coolant from drain plugs on radiat or and both side of cylinder block. Refer to CO-37, "Chang-
ing Engine Coolant" and EM-242, "Disassembly and Assembly".
CAUTION:
 Perform this step when engine is cold.
 Do not spill engine coolant on drive belts.
2. Remove engine cover with power tool. Refer to EM-169, "
Component".
3. Remove air duct (inlet). Refer to EM-173, "
Component".
4. Disconnect water suction hose from water inlet.
5. Remove water inlet and thermostat. CAUTION:
Do not disassemble thermostat.
6. Remove intake manifolds (upper and lower). Refer to EM-175, "
Component".
7. Disconnect radiator hose (upper) and wa ter hoses from thermostat housing.
8. Disconnect heater hoses from water outlet and heater pipe.
9. Remove thermostat housing, water outlet pipe, water connector, water control valve, water outlet and heater pipe.
CAUTION:
Do not disassemble water control valve.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
 Make sure that valves both in thermostat and water c ontrol valve are completely closing at normal tempera-
ture.
 Place a thread so that it is caught in the valves of the thermostat
and water control valve. Immerse fully in a container filled with
water. Heat while stirring. (The example in the figure shows ther-
mostat.)
 The valve opening temperature is the temperature at which the valve opens and falls from the thread.
 Continue heating. Check the maximum valve lift. NOTE:
The maximum valve lift standard temperature for water control
valve is the reference value.
 After checking the maximum valve lift, lower the water tempera-
ture and check the valve closing temperature.
Standard values:
 If the malfunctioning condition, when closing valve at nor mal temperature, or measured values are out of the
standard, replace thermostat and/or water control valve.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to spill engine coolant over en gine room. Use rag to absorb engine coolant.

THERMOSTAT AND WATER CONTROL VALVE
 Install thermostat and water control valve with the whole circumfer-
ence of each flange part fit securely inside rubber ring. (The exam-
ple in the figure shows thermostat.)
 Install thermostat with jiggle valve facing upwards. (The position deviation may be within the range of ±10 degrees)
 Install water control valve with the up-mark facing up and the frame
center part facing upwards. (The position deviation may be within
the range of ±10 degrees)
Water Outlet Pipe and Heater Pipe
First apply a neutral detergent to O-rings, then quickly insert the insertion parts of the water outlet pipe and
heater pipe into the installation holes.
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-37, "
Inspection".
 Start and warm up engine. Visually check if there is no leaks of engine coolant.

PRECAUTION
PRECAUTION
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000001612921
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “A IR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severi ty of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and w hether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the “SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYS-
TEM” and “SEAT BELTS” of this Service Manual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inopera tive, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in
the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by
an authorized NISS AN/INFINITI dealer.
 Improper maintenance, including in correct removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintent ional activation of the system. For re moval of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the “SUPPLEMEN TAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM”.
 Do not use electrical test equipmen t on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identi fied by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.

COMBINATION METERS
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000001328433
UNIFIED METER CONTROL UNIT
 Speedometer, odo/trip meter, tachometer, fuel gauge and water temperature gauge are controlled by the
unified meter control unit, which is built into the comb ination meter. Unified meter control unit receives sig-
nals from unified meter and A/C amp.
 Warning lamp and indicator lamp of combination meter are controlled by signals drawn from the unified meter and A/C amp.
 Odo/trip meter, A/T indicator and ICC system disp lay segments can be checked in self-diagnosis mode.
 Meters/gauges can be checked in self-diagnosis mode.
UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP.
Refer to DI-26, "System Description" in “UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP”.
POWER SUPPLY AND GROUND CIRCUIT
Power is supplied at all times
 through 10A fuse [No. 19, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
 to combination meter terminal 8, and
 to unified meter and A/C amp. terminal 21.
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied
 through 10A fuse [No. 14, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
 to combination meter terminal 7,
 through 10A fuse [No. 12, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
 to unified meter and A/C amp. terminal 22.
With the ignition switch in the ACC or ON position, power is supplied
 through 10A fuse [No. 6, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
 to combination meter terminal 4,
 through 15A fuse [No. 10, located in the fuse block (J/B)], and
 through 15A fuse [No. 11, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
 to unified meter and A/C amp. terminal 46.
Ground is supplied
 to combination meter terminals 5, 6 and 15
 through grounds M35, M45 and M85,
 to unified meter and A/C amp. terminals 29 and 30
 through grounds M35, M45 and M85.
SPEEDOMETER
The speedometer indicates the vehicle speed.
 ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) provides a vehicle speed signal to the unified meter and A/C amp. with CAN communication.
 Unified meter and A/C amp. converts the vehicle s peed signal to the 8-pulse signal, and outputs the vehicle
speed signal (8-pulse) to combination meter.
 Combination meter indicates the vehicle speed according to vehicle speed signal (8-pulse) signal.
TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm).
 ECM provides engine speed signal to unified meter and A/C amp. with CAN communication.
 Unified meter and A/C amp. transmits engine speed signal to combination meter with communication line.

COMBINATION METERS
 Combination meter indicates the engine speed according to engine speed signal.
WATER TEMPERATURE GAUGE
The water temperature gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature.
 ECM provides engine coolant temperature signal to unified meter and A/C amp. with CAN communication.
 Unified meter and A/C amp. transmits engine coolant temperature signal to combination meter with commu-
nication line.
 Combination meter indicates the engine coolant temper ature according to engine coolant temperature sig-
nal.
FUEL GAUGE
The fuel gauge indicates the approximate fuel level in the fuel tank.
 Unified meter and A/C amp. reads a resistor signal from fuel level sensor.
Signal is supplied- from unified meter and A/C amp. terminal 36
- through the fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump (main) terminals 5 and 2, and
- through the fuel level sensor unit (sub) terminals 2 and 1
- to unified meter and A/C amp. terminal 28 for the fuel gauge.
 Unified meter and A/C amp. provides a fuel level signal to combination meter with communication line.
 Combination meter indicates the approximate fuel level according to the fuel level signal.
ODO/TRIP METER
 ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) provi des a vehicle speed signal to the unified meter and A/C
amp. with CAN communication.
 Unified meter and A/C amp. converts the vehicle s peed signal to the 8-pulse signal, and outputs the vehicle
speed signal (8-pulse) to combination meter.
 Combination meter uses the vehicle speed signal (8- pulse) to calculate the mileage, and displays it.
