Changing A/T FluidUCS002C8
1. Increase ATF temperature by 80°C (176°F) once.
2. Stop engine.
3. Remove the tightening bolt for ATF level gauge.
4. Drain ATF from drain plug and refill with new ATF. Always refill same volume with drained fluid.

To replace the ATF, pour in new fluid at the charging pipe with the engine idling and at the same time
drain the old fluid from the radiator cooler hose return side.

When the color of the fluid coming out is about the same as the color of the new fluid, the replacement
is complete. The amount of new transmission fluid to use should be 30 to 50% increase of the stipu-
lated amount.
CAUTION:

Use only Genuine NISSAN ATF Matic Fluid J. Do not mix with other fluid.

Using automatic transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN ATF Matic Fluid J will cause
deterioration in driveability and automatic transmission durability, and may damage the auto-
matic transmission, which is not covered by the warranty.

When filling ATF, take care not to scatter heat generating parts such as exhaust.
5. Increase ATF temperature by 80°C (176°F) once.
6. Check fluid level and condition. Refer to AT-13, "
Checking A/T Fluid" . If fluid is still dirty, repeat step 2.
through 5.
7. Install the removed ATF level gauge in the fluid charging pipe.
Checking A/T FluidUCS002C9
1. Warm up engine.
2. Check for fluid leakage.
3. Remove the tightening bolt for ATF level gauge.
4. Before driving, fluid level can be checked at fluid temperatures of 30° to 50°C (86° to 122°F) using
“COLD” range on ATF level gauge as follows.
a. Park vehicle on level surface and set parking brake.
b. Start engine and move selector lever through each gear position. Leave selector lever in “P” position.
c. Check fluid level with engine idling.
d. Remove ATF level gauge and wipe clean with lint-free paper.
CAUTION:
When wiping away the fluid level gauge, always use lint-free paper, not a cloth one.
e. Re-insert ATF level gauge into charging pipe as far as it will go.
CAUTION:
To check fluid level, insert the ATF level gauge until the cap contacts the end of the charging pipe,
with the gauge reversed from the normal attachment conditions.
f. Remove ATF level gauge and note reading. If reading is at low side of range, add fluid to the charging
pipe.
CAUTION:
Do not overfill.

6. Make the fluid temperature approximately 65°C (149°F).
NOTE:
Fluid level will be greatly affected by temperature as shown in figure. Therefore, be certain to per-
form operation while checking data with CONSULT-II.
a. Connect CONSULT-II to data link connector.
b. Select “MAIN SIGNALS” in “DATA MONITOR” mode for “A/T” with CONSULT-II.
c. Read out the value of “ATF TEMP 1”.
7. Re-check fluid level at fluid temperatures of approximately 65°C (149°F) using “HOT” range on A/T fluid
level gauge.
CAUTION:

When wiping away the fluid level gauge, always use lint-free paper, not a cloth one.

To check fluid level, insert the ATF level gauge until the
cap contacts the end of the charging pipe, with the gauge
reversed from the normal attachment conditions as
shown.
8. Check fluid condition.

If fluid is very dark or smells burned, refer to check operation
of A/T. Flush cooling system after repair of A/T.

If ATF contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.),
replace radiator and flush cooler line using cleaning solvent
and compressed air after repair of A/T. Refer to CO-10,
"RADIATOR" and AT - 1 5 , "A/T Fluid Cooler Cleaning" .
9. Install the removed ATF level gauge into the fluid charging pipe.

2. Remove the radiator. Refer to CO-10, "Removal and Installation" .
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the core surface of the condenser and the radiator.
3. Disconnect the high-pressure flexible hose and the high-pressure pipe from the condenser.
CAUTION:
Cap or wrap the joint of the hose and pipe with suitable material such as vinyl tape to avoid the
entry of contaminants.
4. Disconnect the refrigerant pressure sensor connector.

Remove the refrigerant pressure sensor from the condenser
as necessary.
5. Lift the condenser out of the mounting grommets to remove the
condenser.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
Refer to ATC-164, "
Components" .
CAUTION:

Replace the O-rings of the high-pressure pipe, refrigerant pressure sensor, and the high-pressure
flexible hose with new ones, then apply compressor oil to them after installing them.

After charging refrigerant, check for leaks.

Replace the grommets as necessary.

InspectionEBS00I4W
LEVEL CHECK

Check if the engine coolant reservoir tank level is within MIN to
MAX level when engine is cool.

Adjust engine coolant level as necessary.
CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
WAR NIN G:
Never remove the radiator or reservoir cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from
high-pressure engine coolant escaping from the radiator or reservoir.

To check for leakage, apply pressure to the cooling system at
the reservoir filler neck using suitable tool and Tool.
CAUTION:
Higher pressure than specified may cause radiator damage.
NOTE:
In case that engine coolant decreases, replenish cooling system
with engine coolant.

If any concerns are found, repair or replace damaged parts.
CHECKING RESERVOIR CAP

Check reservoir cap relief pressure using suitable tool and Tool.
NOTE:
Apply engine coolant to the cap seal.

Replace the reservoir cap if there is any damage in the nega-
tive-pressure valve, or if the open-valve pressure is outside of
the limit.
CHECKING RADIATOR CAP
Inspect the radiator cap.
NOTE:
Thoroughly wipe out the radiator filler neck to remove any waxy residue or foreign material.

Replace the cap if the metal plunger cannot be seen around the edge of the black rubber gasket.

Replace the cap if deposits of waxy residue or other foreign material are on the black rubber gasket or the
metal retainer.
