Coolant Leak Caution On 1995-2003 Nissan 3.0L And 3.5L Engines
A severe coolant leak from the water pump’s weep holes causes the coolant to destroy the pump’s bearing as well as leak into the engine’s oiling system. Catastrophic engine failure can result. Be aware of the potential leak points and do not ignore the signs of a leak. It also is recommended that the water pump be changed whenever servicing the timing chain and/or internal timing components.
Diagnostic Solutions: Engine Coolant Temperature Sensors
Considering that roughly 1,500 or more different vehicle models are introduced into our domestic market each year, it’s becoming more difficult to predict how a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) will utilize data from a particular sensor or detect an out-of-range sensor in any single vehicle platform. The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor provides a good illustration of how many on-board diagnostic strategies have changed.
