coolant reservoir NISSAN TERRANO 2002 Service Repair Manual

Overall Function Check
Use this procedure to check the overall function of the cooling fan.
During this check, a DTC might not be confirmed.
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious
burns could be caused by high pressure fluid 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.
WITH CONSULT-II
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 ªDiagnos-
tic Procedureº, EC-114.
2) Confirm whether customer filled the coolant or not. If customer
filled the coolant, skip the following steps and go to ªDiagnos-
tic Procedureº, EC-114.
3) Turn ignition switch ªONº.
4) Perform ªCOOLING FANº in ªACTIVE TESTº mode with CON-
SULT-II and make sure that cooling fans operate when touch-
ing ªHIGHº or ªLOWº.
If NG, go to ªDiagnostic Procedureº, EC-114.

3) Disconnect engine coolant temperature sensor harness con-
nector.
4) Connect 150Wresistor to engine coolant temperature sensor
harness connector.

PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION ITEMS
MA-3

General maintenance includes those items which should be checked during normal day-to-day operation of
the vehicle. They are essential if the vehicle is to continue functioning correctly. Owners can perform the
checks and inspections themselves, or they can be carried out by a NISSAN dealer.
Item Reference pages
OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked periodically, unless otherwise specified.
TiresCheck the pressure with a gauge weekly when at a service station, including the spare,
and adjust to the specified pressure if necessary. Check carefully for damage, cuts or excessive
wear.Ð
Windshield wiper bladesCheck for cracks or wear if not functioning correctly. Ð
Doors and engine hoodCheck that all doors, the engine hood, the trunk lid and back door
function correctly. Also ensure that all latches lock securely. Lubricate if necessary. Make sure
that the secondary latch prevents the hood from opening when the primary latch is released.
When driving in areas using road salt or other corrosive materials, check for lubrication more
often.MA-45
Tire rotationTires should be rotated every 5,000 km (3,000 miles). MA-43
INSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked on a regular basis, such as when per-
forming periodic maintenance, cleaning the vehicle etc.
LightsMake sure that the headlights, stop lights, tail lights, turn signal lights, and other lights
are all operating correctly and installed securely. Also check headlight aim.Ð
Warning lights and buzzers/chimesMake sure that all warning lights and buzzers/chimes are
functioning correctly.Ð
Steering wheelCheck that it has the specified play. Check for changes in the steering
operation, such as excessive free play, hard steering or strange noises.
Free play: Less than 35 mm (1.38 in)Ð
Seat beltsCheck that all parts of the seat belt system (e.g. buckles, anchors, adjusters and
retractors) operate properly and smoothly, and are installed securely. Check the belt webbing for
cuts, fraying, wear of damage.MA-46
UNDER THE HOOD AND VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked periodically e.g. each time you check the
engine oil or refuel.
Windshield washer fluidCheck that there is adequate fluid in the tank.
Engine coolant levelCheck the coolant level when the engine is cold. MA-22
Engine oil levelCheck the level after parking the vehicle (on level ground) and turning off the
engine.MA-21
Brake and clutch fluid levelMake sure that the brake fluid level is between the ªMAXº and
ªMINº lines on the reservoir.MA-36/MA-40
BatteryCheck the fluid level in each cell. It should be between the ªMAXº and ªMINº lines. Ð

2. Before installing new oil filter, clan the oil filter mounting surface
on cylinder block and coat the rubber seal of the oil filter with
a little engine oil.
3. Install oil filter.
When installing oil filter, screw it in until a slight resistance is
felt, then tighten an additional 2/3 turn or more.
4. Add engine oil.
Refer to Changing Engine Oil.
Changing Engine Coolant
WARNING:
To avoid the danger of being scalded, never attempt to change
the coolant when the engine is hot.
1. Set heater ªTEMPº control lever all the way to ªHOTº position.
2. Remove radiator cap and engine under cover.
3. Disconnect lower radiator hose to drain coolant.
Remove reservoir tank, drain coolant, then clean reservoir tank.
Re-install tank temporarily.
4. Remove cylinder block drain plug located at left rear of cylin-
der block.
5. Drain coolant and then tighten drain plug securely.
IApply sealant to the thread of drain
:30-40N×m (3.1 - 4.1 kg-m, 22.1 - 29.5 ft-lb)
6. Connect lower radiator hose.
7. Fill radiator and reservoir tank with water. Re-install radiator
cap and warm up engine.
8. Stop engine and wait until cools down.
9. Drain water.
10. Repeat step 2 through step 9 two or three times, until clear
water begins to drain from radiator.
11. Fill radiator with coolant up to the specified level.
Follow instructions attached to anti-freeze container for mixing
ratio of anti-freeze to water.
