LEVEL CHECK
• Check if the reservoir tank engine coolant level is within the “MIN”
to “MAX” range when engine is cool.
• Adjust the engine coolant level as necessary.
CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
To check for leaks, apply pressure to the cooling system using suit-
able tool and Tool.
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap wh en the engine is hot. Serious
burns could occur from high pressure coolant escaping from
the radiator.
CAUTION:
Higher pressure than specified may cause radiator damage.
Changing Engine CoolantINFOID:0000000005930807
WARNING:
• To avoid being scalded, do not change engine coolant when engine is hot.
• Wrap a thick cloth around radiator cap and carefully remove the cap. First, turn the cap a quarter of a
turn to release built-up pressure. Then turn the cap all the way.
CAUTION:
• Do not spill engine coolant on drive belt.
DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Open radiator drain plug (1) at the bottom of radiator, and then
remove radiator cap.
• Front
When draining all of engine coolant in the system, open
water drain plug on cylinder block. Refer to EM-203
.
CAUTION:
• Perform this step when engine is cold.
• Do not spill engine coolant on drive belt.
2. Remove reservoir tank as necessary, and drain engine coolant and clean reservoir tank before installing. Refer to CO-40, "
Component".
3. Check drained engine coolant for contaminants such as rust, corrosion or discoloration. If contaminated, flush the engine cooling system.

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.

10. Place the coolant container (with the refill hose insert
ed) at the same level as the top of the radiator. Then
open the ball valve on the refill hose so the coolant will be drawn up to fill the cooling system. The cooling
system is full when the vacuum gauge reads zero.
CAUTION:
Do not allow the coolant container to get too low when filling, to avoid air from being drawn into
the cooling system.
11. Remove the Tool from the radiator neck opening.
12. Fill the cooling system reservoir tank to the specified level and install the radiator cap. Run the engine to warm up the cooling system and t op up the system as necessary.
FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM
1. Install reservoir tank if removed. Refer to CO-40, "Component".
2. Install radiator drain plug. •If water drain plug on cylinder block is removed, close and tighten it. Refer to EM-203, "
Disas-
sembly and Assembly".
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean radiator drain plug and install with new O-ring. Refer to CO-40, "
Component".
3. Fill radiator and reservoir tank with water and reinstall radiator cap.
4. Run engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
5. Rev engine two or three times under no-load.
6. Stop engine and wait until it cools down.
7. Drain water from the cooling system.
8. Repeat steps 1 through 7 until clear water begins to drain from radiator.

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, che ck 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.

• CVT fluid cooler hose [inlet side (3)]
• Transaxle assembly (4)
2. Drain CVT fluid from CVT fluid cooler hose [outlet side (1)] and refill with new specified NISSAN CVT fluid in the CVT fluid
charging pipe with the engine running at idle speed.
CAUTION:
Only use the specifi ed NISSAN CVT fluid.
3. Refill until new CVT fluid comes out from CVT fluid cooler hose [outlet side (1)]. NOTE:
About 30 to 50% extra fluid will be required for this procedure.
4. Check fluid level and condition. Refer to CVT-14, "
Checking CVT Fluid".
CAUTION:
Delete CVT fluid deterioration date with CONSULT-III after changing CVT fluid. Refer to CVT-48,
"CONSULT-III Function (TRANSMISSION)".
CVT Fluid Cooler CleaningINFOID:0000000005928732
Whenever a CVT is repaired, overhauled, or replaced, the CVT fluid cooler mounted in the radiator must be
inspected and cleaned.
Metal debris and friction material, if present, can be trapped or become deposit in the CVT fluid cooler. This
debris can contaminate the newly serviced CVT or, in severe cases, can block or restrict the flow of CVT fluid.
In either case, malfunction of the newly serviced CVT may occur.
Debris, if present, may deposit as CVT fluid enters the cool er inlet. It will be necessary to back flush the cooler
through the cooler outlet in order to flush out any built up debris.
CVT FLUID COOLER CLEANING PROCEDURE
1. Identify the CVT inlet and outlet fluid cooler hoses.
2. Position an oil pan under the inlet and outlet cooler hoses.
