15. Install water control valve and water outlet housing.
a. Install gum ring to thermostat.
b. Point the arrow on the upper surface of the valve to the front
of the engine, and also be sure to install the protrusions and
the valve stopper so that they are aligned in a straight line.
16. Reinstall any removed parts in reverse order of removal.
IWhen installing intake manifold, injector tube and intake
manifold collectors, refer to EM-12, ªTIGHTENING PROCE-
DURESº.
IAfter installation, run engine for a few minutes, and check
for leaks.
IBe careful not to spill coolant over engine compartment.
Use a rag to absorb coolant.

INSPECTIONNBLC00331. Check valve seating condition at ordinary room temperatures.
It should seat tightly.
2. Check valve opening temperature and maximum valve lift.
Standard
Valve opening temperature 95ÉC (203ÉF)
Valve lift More than 8.0 mm/108ÉC
(0.315 in/226ÉF)
3. Then check if valve closes at 5ÉC (9ÉF) below valve opening
temperature.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION=NBLC00231. Remove under cover.
2. Remove suspension member stay.
3. Drain coolant from radiator.
4. Disconnect radiator upper and lower hoses.
5. Remove upper and lower radiator shroud.
6. Remove A/T oil cooler hoses.
7. Disconnect reservoir tank hose.
8. Remove radiator mounting bracket.
9. Remove radiator.
10. After repairing or replacing radiator, install any part removed in reverse order of removal.
When filling radiator with coolant, refer to MA-14, ªChanging Engine Coolantº.

Cooling Fan (Crankshaft driven)
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION=NBLC0038IDo not release the drive belt tension by removing the fan/water
pump pulley.
IFan coupling cannot be disassembled and should be replaced
as a unit. If front markFis present, install fan so that side
markedFfaces the front.
IInstall the drive belt only after the fan and fan coupling to water
pump flange bolts/nuts have been properly torqued.
IProper alignment of these components is essential. Improper
alignment will cause them to wobble and may eventually cause
the fan to separate from the water pump causing extensive
damage.
SLC067B
INSPECTIONNBLC0039Check fan coupling for rough operation, wobbling, oil leakage or
bent bimetal.
SLC151B
After assembly, verify the fan does not wobble or flap while the
engine is running.
WARNING:
IWhen the engine is running, keep hands and clothing
away from moving parts such as drive belts and fan.

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) ªAIR
BAGº and ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº
NBMA0001The Supplemental Restraint System such as ªAIR BAGº and ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº used along with
a seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain types of
collision. The SRS system composition which is available to INFINITI QX4 is as follows:
IFor a frontal collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of driver air bag module (located in the center of the steer-
ing wheel), front passenger air bag module (located on the instrument panel on passenger side), seat belt
pre-tensioners, a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring harness and spiral cable.
IFor a side collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of side air bag module (located in the outer side of front seat),
satellite sensor, diagnosis sensor unit (one of components of air bags for a frontal collision), wiring harness,
warning lamp (one of components of air bags for a frontal collision).
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in theRS sectionof this Service Manual.
WARNING:
ITo avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death
in the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed
by an authorized INFINITI dealer.
IImproper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the RS section.
IDo not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. Spiral cable and wiring harnesses covered with yellow insulation tape either just
before the harness connectors or for the complete harness are related to the SRS.
