ENGINE ASSEMBLY
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
●Before starting engine check the levels of engine coolant, lubrications and working engine oils. If less than
required quantity, fill to the specified level.
●Before starting engine, bleed air from fuel piping. Refer to FL-16, "Air Bleeding" .
●Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.
●Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of engine coolant, lubricants, working
engine oil, fuel and exhaust gas.
●Bleed air from passages in pipes and tubes of applicable lines.

ENGINE COOLANT
REFILLING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Install reservoir tank, radiator drain plug and cylinder block drain plug.
●Apply sealant to the thread of cylinder block drain plug.
Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.
2. Fill radiator slowly with engine coolant until engine coolant spills
from the air relief plugs, then install air relief plugs.
CAUTION:
If the filling rate is too fast, this could lead to air being
mixed in the engine coolant. Be sure to fill the engine cool-
ant slowly according to the rate indicated above.
●Replace the copper washer of the air bleeding plug.
●Use genuine Nissan anti-freeze engine coolant or equiva-
lent mixed with water (distilled or demineralized).
Refer to MA-16, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS".
●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.
3. Fill reservoir tank to specified level.
4. Warm up engine to normal operating temperature without radia-
tor cap installed.
●If engine coolant overflows radiator filler hole, install
radiator cap.
5. Run engine at 3,000 rpm for 10 seconds and return to idle speed
with radiator cap installed.
●Repeat two or three times.
Watch engine coolant temperature gauge so as not to overheat
the engine.
6. Stop engine and cool down to less than approximately
50°C(122°F).
●Cool down using a fan to reduce the time.
●If necessary, refill radiator up to filler neck with engine coolant.
7. Refill reservoir tank to MAX level line with engine coolant.

BASIC SERVICE PROCEDURE
BASIC SERVICE PROCEDURE
PFP:00018
Fuel FilterEBS0036N
DESCRIPTION
A water draining cock is on the lower side and a priming pump for bleeding air is on the upper side.
AIR BLEEDING
Pump the priming pump to bleed air.
●When air is bled completely, the pumping of the priming pump
suddenly becomes heavy. Stop the operation at that time.
●If it is difficult to bleed air by the pumping of the priming pump
(the pumping of the priming pump does not become heavy), dis-
connect the fuel supply hose between the fuel filter and the fuel
gallery. Then, perform the operation described above, and make
sure that fuel comes out. (Use a pan, etc. so as not to spill fuel.
Do not let fuel get on engine and other parts.) After that, connect
the hose, then bleed air again.
●Start engine and let it idle for at least one minute after perform-
ing air bleeding.
WATER DRAINING
1. Remove the fuel filter, filter bracket, protector assembly from the dash panel as follows.
a. Remove the air cleaner case (upper), air duct assembly, and vacuum hose for brake booster (between the
vacuum pump and vacuum pipe).
CAUTION:
After the duct is removed, cover the opening with gum tape, etc. to prevent foreign object from
getting into the engine during the operation.
b. Remove the mounting nuts on the dash panel, then remove the fuel filter, filter bracket, and protector
assembly from the dash panel.
●It is not necessary to disconnect the fuel hose.
2. Using a tool such as a pliers, loosen the water draining cock at the bottom of the fuel filter.
Accelerator Pedal Released Position LearningEBS009NW
DESCRIPTION
"Accelerator Pedal Released Position Learning" is an operating to learn the fully released position of the
accelerator pedal by monitoring the accelerator pedal position sensor output signal. It must be performed
when accelerator work unit or ECM is replaced.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Turn ignition switch "ON".
2. Select "OFF ACCEL PO SIG" in "ACTIVE TEST" mode with
CONSULT-II
3. Make sure that accelerator pedal is released.

REMOVAL
1. Remove air duct and upper air cleaner case.
2. Remove fuel filter protector.
3. Disconnect fuel hoses at fuel filter bracket.
CAUTION:
Plug the pipe to prevent fuel from draining.
4. Remove fuel filter with bracket.
CAUTION:
Do not splash fuel during removal. If fuel is splashed,
immediately wipe it off.
5. Using band-type filter wrench (commercial service tool), remove
fuel filter.
6. Turn fuel filter upside down to drain fuel.
7. Remove drain plug from fuel filter.
INSTALLATION
Install in reverse order of removal, paying attention to following:
●Replace O-ring on drain plug with new one.
●Screw the fuel filter by hand until packing contacts sealing surface of bracket. Then tighten it by turning
approximately 2/3 turn.
●After installation, bleed air from fuel path. Refer to FL-16, "Air Bleeding" .
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Make sure there is no fuel leakage at connections in the following steps.
1. Apply fuel pressure to fuel lines with turning ignition switch “ON” (with engine stopped). Then check for
fuel leaks at connections.
2. Start the engine and rev it up and check for fuel leaks at connections.

Air Bleeding
EBS00BLB
After fuel filter is replaced and after fuel system components are
removed/installed, bleed air from fuel path as follows:
1. Move priming pump up and down to bleed air from fuel path.
2. When air is bled, pumping of priming pump becomes heavy stop
operation at that time.
3. Crank the engine until it starts. Do not crank the engine for more
than 30 seconds.
4. If the engine does not starts, stop cranking and repeat step 1
above.
5. If the engine does not operate smoothly after it has started, race
it two or three times.
6. If air cannot be bled easily (pumping of priming pump does not become heavy), disconnect feed-side of
hose between fuel filter and electronically controlled fuel injection pump. After that, operate priming pump
and confirm that fuel comes out.
CAUTION:
Prepare a tray to collect fuel. Prevent fuel from adhering to rubber parts, especially the engine
mount insulator.
Draining Water from Fuel FilterEBS00MRU
1. Prepare a tray at the drain hose open end.
2. Loosen drain cock, and operate priming pump to drain water
from fuel filter.
CAUTION:
●Water in filter is drained with fuel. Prepare larger capacity
pan than fuel filter volume.
●Drained water is mixed with fuel. Prevent fuel from adher-
ing to rubber parts such as engine mount insulator.
3. After draining, close drain cock by hand.
CAUTION:
If drain cock is tightened excessively, it may be damaged
and fuel will leak. Do not use tools to tighten drain cock.
4. Bleed air in fuel piping. Refer to FL-16, "
Air Bleeding" .
5. Start engine and check for fuel leakage.
