REFILLING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Install the radiator drain plug. Install the reservoir
tank and cylinder block drain plug, if removed for a total
system drain or for engine removal or repair.
• The radiator must be completely empty of coolant and water.
• Apply sealant to the threads of the cylinder blo ck drain plugs. Use Genuine High Performance
Thread Sealant or equivalent. Refer to GI-42, "
Recommended Chemical Product and Sealant".
2. If disconnected, reattach the upper radiator hose at the engine side.
3. Set the vehicle heater controls to the full HOT and heat er ON position. Turn the vehicle ignition ON with
the engine OFF as necessary to activate the heater mode.
4. Install the Tool by installing the radiator cap adapter onto the radiator neck opening. Then attach the gauge body assembly
with the refill tube and the venturi assembly to the radiator cap
adapter.
5. Insert the refill hose into the coolant mixture container that is placed at floor level. Make sure the ball valve is in the closed
position.
•Use Genuine NISSAN Long Life Anti-freeze coolant or
equivalent, mixed with distil led water or demineralized
water.
Refer to MA-15, "
Anti-freeze Coolant Mixture Ratio".
6. Install an air hose to the venturi assembly, the air pressure must be within specification.
CAUTION:
The compressed air supply must be equipped with an air dryer.
7. The vacuum gauge will begin to rise and there will be an audible hissing noise. During this process open the ball valve on the refill hose slightly. Coolant will be visible rising in the refill hose. Once the refill hose is
full of coolant, close the ball valve. Th is will purge any air trapped in the refill hose.
8. Continue to draw the vacuum until the gauge reaches 28 inches of vacuum. The gauge may not reach 28 inches in high altitude
locations, use the vacuum specifications based on the altitude
above sea level.
9. When the vacuum gauge has reached the specified amount, disconnect the air hose and wait 20 seconds
to see if the system loses any vacuum. If the vacuum level drops, perform any necessary repairs to the
system and repeat steps 6 - 8 to br ing the vacuum to the specified amount. Recheck for any leaks.

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 cl oth 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. Remove engine under cover. Refer to EI-15, "Removal and Installation".
2. Drain engine coolant from radiator. Refer to CO-36, "
Changing Engine Coolant".
CAUTION:
• Perform this step when engine is cold.
• Do not spill engine coolant on drive belt.
3. Remove air duct (inlet). Refer to EM-135
.
4. 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.
5. Disconnect harness connector from fan motor, and move harness aside.
6. Disconnect CVT or A/T fluid cooler hoses if equipped. • Install plug to avoid leakage of CVT or A/T fluid if equipped.
7. Remove radiator hoses (upper and lower).
8. Remove radiator core support cover. Refer to BL-19
.
9. Remove cooling fan assembly.
10. 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).
11. Move radiator assembly (1) to the rearward direction of vehicle, and then lift it upward to remove.
CAUTION:
Do not damage or scratch A/C condenser if equipped and
radiator core when removing.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Do not damage or scratch A/C condenser if eq uipped and radiator core when installing.

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
• Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels incl uding engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-14, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
• Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
• Turn ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel leak-
age at connection points.
• Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.
• Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.

• Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gas, or any oils/fluids including
engine oil and engine coolant.
• Bleed air from passages in lines and hoses, such as in cooling system.
• After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to spec-
ified level, if necessary.
