coolant NISSAN PATROL 1998 Y61 / 5.G Engine Control Owner's Manual

OVERALL FUNCTION CHECK
Use this procedure to check the overall function of the cooling fan.
During this check, a DTC might not be con®rmed.
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious
burns could be caused by high pressure ¯uid escaping from
the radiator.
Wrap a thick cloth around the cap. Carefully remove the cap
by turning it a quarter turn to allow built-up pressure to
escape. Then turn the cap all the way off.
1) Check the coolant level in the reservoir tank and radiator.
Allow engine to cool before checking coolant level.
If the coolant level in the reservoir tank and/or radiator is below
the proper range, skip the following steps and go to ``DIAG-
NOSTIC PROCEDURE'', EC-117.
2) Con®rm whether customer ®lled the coolant or not. If customer
®lled the coolant, skip the following steps and go to ``DIAGNOS-
TIC PROCEDURE'', EC-117.
3) Turn ignition switch ``ON''.
4) Perform ``COOLING FAN'' in ``ACTIVE TEST'' mode with
CONSULT and make sure that cooling fan operates
when touching ``ON''.

3) Disconnect engine coolant temperature sensor harness
connector.
4) Connect 150Wresistor to engine coolant temperature
sensor harness connector.
5) Start engine and make sure that cooling fan operates.
Be careful not to overheat engine.

CHECK COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAK.
Apply pressure to the cooling system with
a tester, and check if the pressure drops.
Testing pressure:
157 kPa (1.57 bar, 1.6 kg/cm
2, 23 psi)
Pressure should not drop.
CAUTION:
Higher than the speci®ed pressure may
cause radiator damage.
OK

Check the following for
leak.
+Hose
+Radiator
+Water pump
Refer to LC section (``Water
Pump'').
CHECK RADIATOR CAP.
Apply pressure to cap with a tester.
Radiator cap relief pressure:
78 - 98 kPa (0.78 - 0.98 bar, 0.8 - 1.0
kg/cm
2, 11 - 14 psi)
OK

Replace radiator cap.
CHECK THERMOSTAT.
1. Check valve seating condition at normal
room temperatures.
It should seat tightly.
2. Check valve opening temperature and
valve lift.
Valve opening temperature:
82ÉC (180ÉF) [standard]
Maximum valve lift:
More than 10 mm/95ÉC
(0.39 in/203ÉF)

If the cause cannot be isolated, go to
``MAIN 12 CAUSES OF OVERHEATING''
on next page.
INSPECTION END
Perform FINAL CHECK by the following procedure after repair
is completed.
1. Warm up engine. Run the vehicle for at least 20 minutes. Pay
attention to engine coolant temperature gauge on the instrument
panel. If the reading shows an abnormally high temperature,
another part may be malfunctioning.
2. Stop vehicle and let engine idle. Check the intake and exhaust
systems for leaks by listening for noise or visually inspecting the
components.
3. Allow engine to cool and visually check for oil and coolant leaks.
Then, perform ``OVERALL FUNCTION CHECK''.

Fuel Temperature Sensor (FTS)
The fuel temperature sensor is used to detect the fuel temperature
in the injection pump. The sensor modi®es a voltage signal from the
ECM. The modi®ed signal returns to the ECM as the fuel tempera-
ture input. The sensor uses a thermistor which is sensitive to the
change in temperature. The electrical resistance of the thermistor
decreases as temperature increases.

Glow Control System
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Crankshaft position sensor (TDC)cEngine speed
ECMcGlow relaycGlow plugs
Engine coolant temperature sensorcEngine coolant temperaturecGlow lamp
When engine coolant temperature is more than 90ÉC (194ÉF), the glow relay turns off, inactivating the quick-
glow control until coolant temperature drops below 70ÉC (158ÉF).
When coolant temperature is lower than 90ÉC (194ÉF):
+Ignition switch ON
After ignition switch has turned to ON, the glow relay turns ON for a certain period of time in relation to
engine coolant temperature, allowing current to ¯ow through glow plug.
+Cranking
The glow relay turns ON, allowing current to ¯ow through glow plug.
+Starting
After engine has started, current continues to ¯ow through glow plug (after-glow mode) for a certain period
in relation to engine coolant temperature.
When engine speed exceeds 2,400 rpm, current ¯ow through glow plug is interrupted.
The glow lamp turns ON for a certain period of time in relation to engine coolant temperature at the time glow
relay is turned ON.
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Glow plug
The glow plug is provided with a ceramic heating element to obtain
a high-temperature resistance. It glows in response to a signal sent
from the ECM, allowing current to ¯ow through the glow plug via the
glow relay.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
The EGRC-solenoid valves A and B control vacuum pressure act-
ing on the EGR valve. The EGR control valve will then be fully
opened, half-opened or fully closed, as required.
The throttle control solenoid valve controls vacuum pressure acting
on the throttle chamber. Thus, intake air passages are opened or
closed in relation to exhaust gas and intake air. Utilizing the rela-
tionship between exhaust gas pressure and intake air pressure
control, the amount of EGR (exhaust gas recirculated) is regulated
in three stages Ð large, medium, small.

Heat Up Switch
The heat up switch is located on the lower side of the instrument
panel. This switch is used to speed up the heater's operation when
the engine is cold.
When the ECM received the heat up switch ``ON'' signal, the ECM
increases the engine idle speed to 1,100 - 1,200 rpm to warm up
engine quickly.
This system works when all conditions listed below are met.
