6. Check A/T fluid condition.
If ATF is very dark or smells burned, checking 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-37,
"RADIATOR" , CO-40, "RADIATOR (ALUMINUM TYPE)" .
7. Install the removed A/T fluid level gauge in the A/T fluid charging
pipe.
CAUTION:
Firmly fix the A/T fluid level gauge to the A/T fluid charging
pipe using a stopper attached.
Changing A/T FluidBCS000ZM
1. Warm up ATF.
2. Stop engine.
3. Drain ATF from drain plug and refill with new ATF. Always refill same volume with drained ATF.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse drain plug gasket.
4. Run engine at idle speed for 5 minutes.
5. Check A/T fluid level and condition. Refer to AT- 1 4 , "
Checking A/T Fluid" . If ATF is still dirty, repeat steps
2 through 5.

InspectionBBS005A2
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.
LEAK CHECK
To check for leaks, apply pressure to the cooling system with
radiator cap tester (commercial service tool) and radiator cap
tester adapter (SST).
WARNING:
Do not remove radiator cap when engine is hot. Serious
burns could occur from high-pressure engine coolant
escaping from radiator.
CAUTION:
Higher testing pressure than specified 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 CoolantBBS005A3
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.
Be careful not to allow engine coolant to contact drive belt.
DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Remove grommet from undercover.
2. Open radiator drain plug at the bottom of radiator, and then remove radiator cap.
When drain all of engine coolant in the system, open water drain plug on engine cylinder block.
Refer to EM-81, "
CYLINDER BLOCK" .
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 system. Refer to CO-12, "
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 plug on cylinder block is removed, close and tighten it. Refer to EM-81, "
CYLINDER
BLOCK" .
2. Make sure that each hose clamp has been firmly tightened.
3. Remove air duct assembly. Refer to EM-17, "
AIR CLEANER AND AIR DUCT" .
4. Disconnect heater hose (left side of vehicle) at the position in
the figure.
Enhance heater hose as high as possible.
5. Fill radiator and reservoir tank to specified level.
CAUTION:
Never adhere the engine coolant to electronic equipments
(alternator etc.).
Pour engine coolant through engine coolant filler neck
slowly of less than 2 (1-3/4 lmp qt) a minute to allow air
in system to escape.
Use NISSAN Genuine Engine Coolant or equivalent
mixed with water (distilled or demineralized). Refer to
MA-14, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS".
When engine coolant overflows disconnected heater hose, connect heater hose, and continue filling the
engine coolant.
6. Install air duct assembly. Refer to EM-17, "
AIR CLEANER AND AIR DUCT" .
7. Install radiator cap.Radiator drain plug:
