LASER BEAM AIMING ADJUSTMENT
LASER BEAM AIMING ADJUSTMENT
OutlineINFOID:0000000001328812
Adjust the laser beam aiming every time the ICC sensor is removed or installed.
CAUTION:
 Adjust laser beam aiming at a horizontal place as
far as 12 m (39 ft) forward the vehicle can be seen.
 Adjust laser beam aiming 5 seconds after starting engine.
 Never view ICC sensor integrated un it body window directly during laser beam aiming adjustment.
 Follow the CONSULT-III when adju sting the laser beam aiming (laser beam aiming adjustment can-
not be operated without CONSULT-III).
 Never ride on vehicle during l aser beam aiming adjustment.
 Idle and turn headlamps OFF duri ng laser beam aiming adjustment.
PreparationINFOID:0000000001328813
 Adjust the tire pressure to the specified value.
 See that there is no load in the vehicle.
 Coolant, engine oil filled up to correct level and full fuel tank.
 Shift the gear into “P” position and release the parking brake.
 Clean the ICC sensor with a soft cloth.
Outline of Adjustment ProcedureINFOID:0000000001328814
1. Set up the ICC target board [KV99110100 (J-45718)].
2. Adjust the sensor following the procedure on CONSUL T-III. (Turn manually the screw for up-down position
adjustment. ICC sensor automatically adjust the right-left position.)
Setting the ICC Target BoardINFOID:0000000001328815
Accurate ICC target board setting is required for the laser beam aiming adjustment.
CAUTION:
ICC system does not function normally if laser beam aiming is not accurate.
ADJUSTING HEIGHT OF THE TARGET
1. Attach a triangle scale at the center.

LEVEL CHECK
 Check if the reservoir tank engine coolant level is within the “MIN”
to “MAX” when the engine is cool.
 Adjust the engine coolant level as necessary.
LEAK CHECK
 To check for leaks, apply pressure to the cooling system with the
radiator cap tester (commercial service tool) (A) and radiator cap
tester adapter (commercial service tool) (B).
WARNING:
Do not remove radiator cap when engine is hot. Serious burns
could occur from high-pressure engine coolant escaping from
radiator.
CAUTION:
Higher test pressure than speci fied may cause radiator damage.
NOTE:
In a case that engine coolant decreases, replenish radiator with engine coolant.
 If anything is found, repair or replace damaged parts.
Changing Engine CoolantINFOID:0000000001325846
WARNING:
 To avoid being scalded, do not change en gine coolant when the engine is hot.
 Wrap a thick cloth around radiator cap and carefully remove radiator cap. First, turn radiator cap a
quarter of a turn to release built-up pressu re. Then turn radiator cap all the way.
DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Remove front engine undercover with power tool.
2. Open radiator drain plug at the bottom of radiator, and then
remove radiator cap.
When draining all of engine cool ant in the system, open water drai n plugs on cylinder block. Refer
to EM-123, "
Disassembly and Assembly".

3. Remove reservoir tank as necessary, and drain engine coolant and clean reservoir tank before installing.
4. Check drained engine coolant for contaminants such as rust, corrosion or discoloration.
If contaminated, flush the engine cooling sys tem. Refer to "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-123, "
Dis-
assembly and 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 Li fe Antifreeze/Coolant or
equivalent mixed with water (dis tilled or demineralized).
Refer to MA-9, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
 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 until opening thermostat. Standard for warm ing-up time is approximately 10 minutes at 3,000
rpm.
 Make sure thermostat opening condition by touching r adiator hose (lower) to see a flow of warm water.
CAUTION:
Watch water temperature gauge so as not to overheat engine.
7. Stop the engine and cool down to less than approximately 50 °C (122 °F).

 Sound may be noticeable at heater unit.
12. Repeat step 11 three times.
13. If sound is heard, bleed air from cooling system by repeating step 4 through 7 until engine coolant level no
longer drops.
FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM
1. Install reservoir tank if removed, and radiator drain plug.
If water drain plugs on cylinder block are removed, close and tighten them. Refer to EM-123, "

2. Remove air relief plug on heater hose.
3. Fill radiator with water until water spills from the ai r relief hole, then close air relief plug. Fill radiator and
reservoir tank with water and reinstall radiator cap.
4. Run the engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
5. Rev the engine two or three times under no-load.
6. Stop the engine and wait until it cools down.
7. Drain water from the system. Refer to "DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT".
