WHEEL SENSORS
WHEEL SENSORS
Removal and InstallationINFOID:0000000001327698
REMOVAL
1. Disconnect wheel sensor connector.
2. Remove wheel sensor mounting bolts, grommets (front sensor) and clip.
3. Remove wheel sensor.
CAUTION:
Be careful of the followin
g when installing sensor.
 As much as possible, avoid rotati ng sensor when removing it. Pull sensors out without pulling on
sensor harness.
 Take care to avoid damaging sensor edges or roto r teeth. Remove wheel sensor first before remov-
ing front wheel hub and bearing assembly and rear fina l drive. This is to avoid damage to sensor wir-
ing and loss of sensor function.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Be careful of the follow ing when installing sensor. Tighten in stallation bolts to specified torques.
 When installing, make sure there is no foreign material such as iron chips on pick-up and mounting
hole of sensor. Make sure no foreign material h as been caught in the sensor rotor. Remove any for-
eign material and clean the mount.
 When installing front sensor, be sure to press rubber grommets in until they lock at the three loca-
tions shown in the figure (2 at shock absorbers and 1 at body pa nel). When installed, harness must
not be twisted. White line on ha rness must be visible from front.
 When installing rear sensor, attach harness at rear suspension member securely. Besides, harness
must not be twisted when installed.

ACTUATOR AND ELECTRIC UNIT (ASSEMBLY)
Removal and InstallationINFOID:0000000001327700
REMOVAL
1. Disconnect ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector.
2. Loosen brake tube flare nuts, then remove brake tubes
from ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).
3. Remove LH side fender protector. Refer to EI-24
.
4. Remove ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) mounting nuts.
5. Remove ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) from vehicle.
CAUTION:
Be careful of the following wh en removing ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).
 If the part number on the part number label (p asted on actuator upper surface) is the same, ABS
actuator and electric unit (c ontrol unit) can not be used on another vehicle.
If it is used on another vehicle, ABS warning lamp, SLIP indicator lamp and VDC OFF indicator lamp
may turn ON or VDC/TCS/ABS may not operate normally.
When replacing ABS actuator an d electric unit (control unit), must use new service parts.
 Before servicing, disconnect battery cables.
 To remove brake tube, use a flare nut torque wrench to prevent flare nuts and brake tube from being
damaged. To install, use a flare nut torque wren ch (commercial service tool) and tighten to the spec-
ified torque.
 Do not apply excessive impact to actuator, such as dropping it.
 Do not remove and install ABS actuator and el ectric unit (control unit) by holding harness.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Be careful of the following wh en installing ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).
 Tighten the mounting bolts and nuts to the specified torque.
 After the work, bleed air from brake piping. Refer to BR-8, "
Bleeding Brake System".
 After installing vehicle harness connector in th e actuator, make sure connector is securely locked.
 When replacing ABS actuator and el ectric unit (control unit), calibrate steering angle sensor neutral
position and decel G sensor. Refer to BRC-8
.

ENGINE COOLANT
ENGINE COOLANT
InspectionINFOID:0000000001325845
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).
