Hey Ry! Hi! I love your videos, I know this video has nothing to do with what I'm about to ask, however, I own a 2002 Xterra, and I watched one of your videos about replacing the differential fluid, and it helped me out a lot, thanks a lot for...
@@rogerdavies6226 Nissan changed the coolant due to the SMOD fiasco and the coolant is now supposed to be blue. Nissan also changed the transmission fluid and the radiator part number changed as well. Edited: I have a 2014 Xterra and the coolant is blue.
Great video! I would add to start with a good system flush before draining the system entirely. You can purchase some from a parts store or use vinager. It may even take some of the corrosion off the temp sensor so you don't need to replace it
Very helpful video Ry, thank you. Two questions: 1) What about also opening the engine block drain plug(s) to remove all the coolant? 2) Would you mind listing what tools you used to remove the hoses and thermostat? I just want to double check I have everything. Thanks again. Love the series on the Xterra as I have a 2007 Frontier.
If you open that valve in the radiator it is lower than any point in the engine so you should be able to get almost all of it out of the engine and certainly all of it from the radiator. I'm not sure on all the tools. The hoses I just removed the with needle nose pliers and the water pump used regular sockets.
I just changed the thermostat thinking that would fix my problem and it did halfway I was wondering do you have to drain the coolant to change the temperature sensor?
cool man your video helped alot,my x heater only blows hot when moving and blows cold when I come to a stop so I'm thinking it's the thermostat but I didn't know how easy it was to change it, also I bought my x new in 05 10 yrs ago and it has green antifreeze so guess the blue kind it's on newer nissans thanks for the info
+Daniel Galindo Awesome! So glad it helped. Also if you have not change your antifreeze since you bought your truck you really should. It will really help with heat transfer.
Very informative and great video, replaced mine a year ago. Still having issues so please make another video for the water pump. Also having stalling issues so replaced cam shaft sensors. Still stalling so thinking fuel pump, not looking forward to that given you have to drop the gas tank. One more thing, did your transmission get replaced after the faulty radiator/transmission issue which led to a class action lawsuit. Missed the date and had to drop $3800 on new tranny. le sigh. Thanks for the video
+Josh Hahn No good! Sorry to hear that. I am actually making the video for the water pump right now. I have it all disassembled and I need to work on getting it in and putting it all back together. I did not have the transmission issue because my X-terra is a manual trans. By the sounds of it really dodged a bullet. Ill get the water pump video finished in a few days and get it up asap for you.
+Josh Hahn Oh also I plan to do my fuel pump as well. Mine is not stalling but the fuel gauge does not work and it is throwing a code saying there is high voltage coming from the pump. I will make a video about that as well.
Yes please do, trying to do water pump this weekend. Hard to believe that there isn't a single video for our year model X with tutorial on these issues. Curious if I can do fuel pump alone or need a 2nd person. Keep making more and more of these videos. Plan on driving mine into the ground so I'll need them. Chilton book only gets you so far.
Awesome video! it helped me out a lot and saved me some cash but I'm still having issues. Here's my deal... ever since I flushed my radiator (it was time and just before winter) the car started overheating. I replaced the thermostat and I thought I was good... turns out I was wrong, now that summer is back its overheating again. I changed the temp sensor and still no luck. When I'm driving and moving the car is air cooled enough to be good. if I'm stuck in traffic or sitting idle it starts overheating again. I have an 07 Pathfinder. Suggestions?
I uploaded a video just a few hours ago on how to replace your fan clutch. That might be the problem. Also make sure that your fan shroud is in tact and that your fan is not damaged.
My x-trail is fine although pulling a caravan up hills and in heavy traffic, the temp goes up, although I controlled it by using the heater and blasting hot air into the car. Should this worry me?
Hello again, can you tell me they socket size for the Coolant Temperature Sensor Sending Unit? Im assuming may 2011 Frontier V6 4.0L takes the same? Also assuming location is same being behind engine close to firewall passenger side? Im looking to replace mine very soon
i recently bought a koyo radiator for my 2010 xterra so i wouldnt have to go threw all the trouble they are having with the fluids mixing and messing up the transmission, i have all brandnew fluids. so my question is, how much antifreeze will spill out doing the thermostat & sensor ? Do i need to drain the radiator? thanks dave..
+David Ferraiuolo yes. I would drain it all. The hoses you need to remove for the thermostat are pretty love on the motor so if you do not drain it before hand you will have quite a mess to deal with.
You do not need to worry about this problem. That defect is only in 2005-2009 models. If yours is a 2010, Nissan fixed the problem and a different radiator is installed. The problem radiator on 2005-2009 models is Calsonic 21460, EA265, F01055A07040. If you look at your radiator and it is not this one you have nothing to worry about.
+swiz oh ok.. well i already have the koyo installed, but i gave my OEM radiator to a co worker with a 2006 frontier, i wrote down the number u posted and told him to go look when he gets home. i could of swore on the class action lawsuit web page it said 2005 to 2010.. but whatever, ill find out and let u know ..thanks
+swiz lol well he has a 2006 so i figured he would be better off with a 2010.. but he knows about the leaking problem so it wasnt like he didnt know.. lol
Here is a pickle for you. 4 x4 system maintenance? Good topic. My X decided not to turn on 4 X 4 and I have orange light (4x4) on the dash letting me know that it does not work. How do you do maintenance on this system and where to start looking for the cause?
I should have found this video first. My temp gauge has been dropping to the lowest point while driving then going up again depending upon whether I was going uphill or down. Indications were air in the system and I spent hours on multiple occasions with the big funnel and squeezing hoses hot and cold. I've finally decided that the Nissan garage can probably deal with it and since the 2011 Pathfinder has the original hoses and the serpentine belt tensioner has 155,000 miles it probably needs to be changed. Well, a potential $1300 bill sucks the air out of my room as a lifelong do-it-yourselfer (I previously changed valve covers on this car). Now that I'm waiting for word from the garage that it's done, I'm wondering if, while replacing the two camshaft and the one crankshaft position sensors recently, I may have disconnected the connector to the temperature sensor and if it's just close enough that a change in the attitude of the car from up to down is allowing it to make temporary connection. Replacing the passenger side camshaft position sensor was a bear and it appears the tab on the temp sensor is right below or next to that cam sensor. Oh well. By the way, thanks for all the help with my other work on the Pathfinder. That valve cover replacement was fun? One of my neighbors saw me in the garage with parts hanging on bunji cords and asked what I was doing. When I told him he said, " Hell, I don't even know how to open the hood of my wife's car"
Hi I have an 07 Nissan Frontier, it has been giving me problems for ever now, it was a used vehicle overheated since day one, changed thermostat, fan clutch, water pump, leaking plastic hose, new radiator and still heats up, jst need to change temperature cooling sensor, and dnt know what else to do.
I changed thermostat and flushed coolant. Burped the system so there is no air left. It is now consistently running hot for 5 months. Thinking that thermostat is no good. Any other ideas? I actually found bleeder valve (so I think) on the passenger side back of the engine bay. Just trace large pipe from radiator. It is a rubber nipple pointing up.
Valid question about coolant. When I drained coolant it was generic green. No issues. After much research there were 2 fronts. One used Nissan coolant and other generic green. Both used successfully. I went with popular green stuff. In either case, wrong coolant only affects corrosion and not overheating.
Check and see if the cooling system doesn't have a leak. Do a pressure test. If the system stays under pressure, check the radiator cap. Is it worn? Seated correctly? Make sure it is tightened all the way? Hoses? upper and lower radiator hoses? Have someone look at them while under a load. Does one collapse? Fan, fan clutch? E-fan, does it come on while the vehicle idles in the driveway? How's the expansion tank look? Fluid in the expansion tank? Check all of these.
These videos have been a HUGE help on my ‘10 off-road X; Thanks for focusing on the xterra. Great truck. I’ve come into a predicament...I’ve been told that my right front ABS sensor is bad. I replaced 2-3 times and had a garage check it out too. My dash still lights up. Been told that circuit controls ABS, 4 wheel drive, and traction control. I’ve been told only option is to take to dealer and have it totally repaired due to a short somewhere in the line. Do you have any suggestions, input or videos? Dealership claims this is somewhat common problem, but I’d rather not pay dealership prices if this is an easier fix. Thanks Buddy!
I found mine here (and my own owner's manual): xterrafirma.com/owners_manuals/2005-Nissan-Xterra.pdf under page 8-7 in the middle. It says "When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only a Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (green) or equivalent with the proper mixture ratio of50% anti-freeze and 50% demineralized or distilled water.
Does the temp sensor last long? Also, my temp goes up close to the H, stays more so in the middle but creeps up. Once I turn on heater it goes down close to cold. You think the sensor done? Or corroded?
What year model? I own a 2011 Nissan Frontier V6 4.0 and believe my temperature sending unit sensor may need replacing. Assuming same scenario for mine?
dude i was having the same problem, and before replacing the water pump. check the fan clutch, after replacing that in my xterra the overheating went away
Ry, I have a 2006 Nossan Xterra with 230,000+ miles on original drivetrain. Been havinn an issue with the oil gauge fluctuations at low RPM but the oil light never comes on. Replaced oil sending switch/unit. I dropped the oil pan and cleaned the oil screen. Still same issue. I did the timing chain about two years ago. Any ideas?
csterman10; is yours two wheel drive or four-wheel-drive? And how easy was it to drop the oil pan? Thanks....By the way it sounds like your oil pump might be old I, or a loose connection behind the Dash
+ahtoh1 I have the OBDLink MX and honestly I love it. It has a companion app for iPhone and android. I have not had any issues with it and it's easy to use. Maybe I'll do a review video!
Ry I got a question, I have a 05 xterra and here is whats up. My wife's car had a check light for bank 1 cam position sensor and leakey valve covers forever. Using your video which was super helpful I did the valve covers changed the plugs and replaced the cam position sensor and VVT sensors on bank 1 and two because they were listed as possible culprits for the check engine light. Keep in mind that besides the smell of burnt oil the car ran great started great. So here is what is up the car is hard to start now with the new sensors... like it used to fire right up, now it has to cycle for like 4-5 seconds before it fires. So I took the intake off again and re-checked everything . I looked at all the plugs but one....the firewall on the drivers coil bolt was acting weird like it would loosen but not release tension. This could be my culprit but I have a hunch that its not. I just put it here because its questionable. Now , the car runs great it doesn't hesitate or stumble I drove it 100 mile yesterday let it idle for long periods of time and no issues just the long cycle on the start? So my thought is the cam timing is off and the guy before who installed the engine adjusted the timing with his fancy scanner, if that is possible so that the car ran right with the bad sensors? and now that it has good sensors .....the cam timing is off? I know it is a long shot but that is what i'm thinking.Honestly I am not even sure if a nice scanner like at the place that installed the engine could do that or not? Or is there a relearn process for the computer that I need to do when replacing vvt or cam position sensor. I did disconnect the throttle body which is how I found this video? God Bless I love your videos, I am pretty mechanically inclined, but I am in uncharted territory right now as this is not my cj or a small block Chevy and it seems like one sensor is messing all of this up. I could take it apart and put the old sensors back, but that just would get my goat if it was still doing this? Help Please
Hello 👋 I watched all your videos because my pathfinder was overheating and my temperature gauge stars bouncing up and down I change the thermostat the temp sensor the fan the waterpump the radiator and keeps bouncing have you have this problem in your truck ?thanks and have a nice day
What was the operating temperature at when it was overheating? What temp is too hot? My X will get up to 230F which seems hot, but needle on the temp gauge is at the halfway point when at 230F.
Oh gosh. I'm sorry but I don't remember. I do know it was over 220 for some reason but not the exact number. I believe the standard thermostats in the Xterra opens around 185.
Saludos la Xterra mia lo mas que ha subido de temperatura es a 226F, no se si eso será muy alto o será normal, en el caso tuyo ha podido averiguar si esa temperatura de su vehículo es normal?
My 2006 uses the green Nissan coolant …. According to the research online I did most say otherwise but never seemed to be all saying same thing . One person I trust online said what I had heard about a lot of cars since forever … as long as you flush the system well you can use almost any antifreeze ( assuming it’s as well rated as original manufacturer suggested or better) I’ve seen and done so with gm cars more than a few times in past decades with no issues … but I don’t trust with cars after say mid 2000’s quite as much … so I ask the parts guy at local parts store , he said green cap which was green fluid and listed 2006 nissans all models on container …. But it was a weird years where it was supposed to be used . Maybe not a 2005 but if you’ve got original fluid in and it’s green I’d think it’s correct … unless previous owner didn’t do his research and just used any old prestone coolant … which I’m pretty sure is a no no..
Shit I was hoping the thermostat did it .. mine will run to operating temp quick and stay there for 10-15 mins .. then it keeps creeping up till it hits the 3/4 dash on the gauge and I put the heat on to slowly bring it back down … I kinda assumed it was the water pump but don’t know if I can find time to do it myself and am worried about the whole idea of it being run off the timing chain … ugh
@@vicpnut1 Did you get it figured out? I'm looking at thermostats for my R51 Pathfinder and AutoZone has a choice between a 170* and a 180* t-stat. Maybe the lower temp. unit would be better for you? I'm in northern Ohio, so I'll stick with the 180* for heat in winter.
@@ItchyKneeSon actually after asking a Xterra forum and still no definitive answer I just on a whim got an oem thermostat and changed coolant … all has been perfect (gauge rides at between 3&4 o’clock )for a very long time now .and I don’t know about pathfinder but heat still works as it should and gets to temp very quickly ,even on cold days
Thanks for your videos.I have Nissan pathfinder 2012 . Temperature sing normal before replacing new sparks .the temperature pointer become more than before replacing sparks.is this problem deu to programming.please help me
excellent videos, look I have a nterra xterra 2010, at this time turn on and off the engine turns on several lights but the fault is still not detected please help me.
Hi Ry. Have you experience that when you put the gear to reverse, the AC stop cooling? This is the issue of my car last week then after 2days the entire AC is not cooling. Need your advice pls
At our area the stander Xterra come without roof rack. My question if I want install roof rack for my x is that possible there's holes on the roof for it or I should create holes Thank you
But my question is, if you have any info on polyurethane bushings and suspension parts for a nissan xterra, I have been trying to find, if you can help me out with that please... Thanks a lot man...
I have a 2010 xterra. When I need to add more anti freeze/coolant I use the premix labeled for all makes, all models and all colors of factory mix. It is now green in color. That should be fine right?
Joel Elbert no you should of flushed system first if your going to switch to green that's why they are different colors that fluid will turn to sludge. I'm assuming your coolant fluid was originally orange ?
On the 2010 xterra 4X4, temp guage goes up like after 6 miles or more on highway, above normal, at time it reaches the line next to H. Then it goes down at normal then goes bk to line next to H. And then the fan stays on but loud spinning sound. It wont stop....itll be quiet when it cools down. after it gets hot itll be loud n idk. What u think it is?
Hi Ry, do you know which is the ECM code for the thermostat? I have a P1281 code and according to google is the thermostat... but i want to be sure before change. thanks
I have a 2006 Xterra where the trans fluid mixed with the coolant. I understand what needs to be done with the trans but I have flushed the coolant where it looks very good. However once the truck gets hot from running for a while I hear a noise coming from the left side of the front of the engine that resembles a squeaking belt however as soon as I release the pressure in the system by opening the radiator cap the squeaking immediately goes away. any idea on what this could be? thank you for any information John
Well first of all you really should not be driving the truck until you get the transmission bypass fixed. This problem could completely destroy your motor. Once you do get that fixed you should really go though the cooling system and replace everything that you can. This includes the temp sensor, the water pump and the thermostat. Shoot, if I were you I would even replace the radiator. Then those fluids mix it increases the viscosity of the fluid and it can block small ports that the radiator fluid would normally be able to get through. I understand that it is a ton of work but in the end you should be in good shape.
How did you make out on this? I'm thinking it might be your clutch fan. just because it creeps up when sitting. That's when the fan should be cooling the car. Thanks for showing me were the thermostat is. I hope to flush mine later this week.
+Shawn Sherman No problem! I did a full overhaul of the cooling parts. I flushed, did the temp sensor, thermo, and water pump. After all that its working great! I did not do the fan clutch cause its over $100 and I plan to someday move to electric and its around $50. Right now the fan runs non-stop but its NBD cause I live in FL and the engine has no problem getting up to temp.
Hi I hv a Nissan XTrail 2015. The aircond is faulty as my outside air and inside air flips back and forth on its own without anyone pressing the button. The outside air button lights up and will remain on for 4-5 mins before it flips to inside air for 2-3 mins then it goes back to outside air. Is this a temperature sensor problem? Hope u can advise. Tq
Hey I have a 2006 Nissan when I do the test it everything turns on but my fan turns on and then it don't turn on again but I can hear the solenoid clicking what could it be
Hi RY i hope u read this been long time since my last maintenance in accordance with your instructions... but started from last weekend i noticed that i have pressure remains inside the radiator after engine shut down...i mean next morning during check...I opened the cap and then air will comes out... I'm not sure what can Cause that..and i don't have any problem with cooling system so far...except this naw if you could help...I would be grateful...
Hey I really need your help. my Nissan Xterra is a 2005 too. My car cannot drive far or it will heat up, although, the thing doesn't mark the car hot, but when I open the front, it's steaming and you can smell it. It's obviously over heating, but I don't know if the water isn't going threw the hose, or if its the thermostat. What is the reasoning for this? I know it is not the thing inside the car that marks it.
+Ann Banuelos First off make sure that you have the right amount of fluid in the truck. Buy some radiator fluid and wait until the truck is completely cold!! At least 1-2 hours after driving it. Then open the radiator and fill it up as much as you can and "burp" the system like I show in the end of this video. If you are able to get a lot of fluid into the system that means you were just low (very low). If there is not enough fluid in the system the car will overheat/steam and the temperature gauge will not show a high temp because no fluid is touching the meter. Also be sure to buy the proper fluid. If this fixes your problem then you need to find out how the radiator fluid is getting out of your motor. Be careful!!
Aww of course! You should try what I said first since its the easiest and cheapest. If that does not work then your thermostat or water pump may be bad. Let me know if you need anything else.
+WebProVideo Yea, I hear they have a fatal flaw in the automatic transmissions on these trucks. Luckily I bought the manual trans. Strong like bull!!!Thanks for subscribing!
Dude. This is a great video - thank you for taking the time to put it together. I have an '06 Xterra with a manual trans that just creeped over 150k this winter. It has been an incredible vehicle, and I have honestly not done any maintenance other than preventative and/or routine. However, I am still running on the original clutch, and was wondering if you had any plans to replace your own, or if you suggest having it professionally done? I am very mechanically inclined... but the X has just never given me a reason to do major surgery. Hoping you will have as good of luck as I have had with mine - the 4.0 with the manual trans is a bullet proof combo!
+Garrett Dean thanks man I love mine too! I don't plan to touch the clutch unless it gives me problems. As of right now its locking in great. If you are mechanically inclined I would say go for it! I think the biggest chilling you would have is getting the truck far enough off the ground to effectively work on the clutch.
buen video hay que cambiar los dos para mejor funcionamiento o solo el mas dañado porque mi x terra tiene la temperatura hasta la mitad y el ventilador siempre esta a toda marcha y no para
hey buddy, i have one problem, i buy a second hand car, which is has by pass thermostat, then i buy new thermostat for my infiniti qx4, but since i fix the good thermostat the engine is starting overheating! thats why i remove again... please guide me on this problem.
Question? Did you receive a p0128 code on your obd2 prior to doing the replacement. I'm kind of in the same situation. My temp dial doesn't reach the halfway point and when the thermostat is high heat at the idle position sometimes it will kick out cool air. Any suggestions?
Oh I didn't realize you were talking about a first generation. That's totally different. The fan is always going to be attached to the back of the radiator in front of the motor. I do not know anything about the first generation but if it is electrical then always check the fuses first. If the fuse is bad then replace it and see if that fixes it. If not then its most likely the relay. In that case you will have to research where it is.
metroda es de cuantos grados es el termostato que le pones en este video es de 160 grados o de 180 grados porque mi xterra como en este tiempo esta haciendo mas frio se eleva la temperatura ala mitad y despues desciende y en tiempo de calor va normal no se que pasa si me puedes asesorar te lo agradeceria my partner thanks..
have a xterra 2008 change termostat,radiator,when idle heat work fine but ;;when running over 40 miles it get cold, motor temperature drop ,no heat at all,change blower, heat resistence;; dont know what to do next;;
You may have to replace the water pump. I have a video for that too. I ended up replacing the temp sensors, the thermostat, the water pump, fan clutch, and all the coolant.
My 2000 V6 Automatic transmission 4x4 is over heating. No blown head gasket, new water pump, timing belt, heater hoses, radiator, and no thermostat. So going to remove the catalytic converters and see if that fixes it. Clogged cats can also cause overheating, apparently.

In 2009 Nissan went to the blue extended life antifreeze, the 2008 and older were still the green stuff.
Ok, so my coolant was def original. Ugh.

Ry the car guy the only thing special about the Japanese antifreeze is its silicate free. I like your videos, they are helpful.
use a HOAT long life coolant
I did this job yesterday and you video help me a lot....thanks ✌
Ry.... The Owner's Manual say the coolant is green. Just a heads up.
thanks, was searching everywhere to find the "blue" reference
@@rogerdavies6226 Nissan changed the coolant due to the SMOD fiasco and the coolant is now supposed to be blue. Nissan also changed the transmission fluid and the radiator part number changed as well.

The green coolant is long life and the blue is extra long life. You can still get the green coolant, the earlier models came with it.
Good job Ray 👍
Great video! I would add to start with a good system flush before draining the system entirely. You can purchase some from a parts store or use vinager. It may even take some of the corrosion off the temp sensor so you don't need to replace it

I uploaded a video just a few hours ago on how to replace your fan clutch. That might be the problem. Also make sure that your fan shroud is in tact and that your fan is not damaged.
If you are still out there...what ever became of this? Did you try changing the fluid again? Sounded like air pockets.
@@MatthewStout i've also seen people having problems with using non EOM thermostats and having to replace them with OEM and the problem going away
Thank you! Looks very easy to do myself. Just saved myself $250.00
My x-trail is fine although pulling a caravan up hills and in heavy traffic, the temp goes up, although I controlled it by using the heater and blasting hot air into the car. Should this worry me?
Hello at 7:42 what is that hose called that is attached to thermostat. I am having trouble getting that part from dealer? Thanks. !
Hello again, can you tell me they socket size for the Coolant Temperature Sensor Sending Unit?
Im assuming may 2011 Frontier V6 4.0L takes the same? Also assuming location is same being behind engine close to firewall passenger side? Im looking to replace mine very soon
I appreciate this video Bro.
+Shaun75 NP! Glad you like it, hope it helps
Great set of videos! If you're on The New X forums you should post links to these videos. Hopefully a moderator will make them stickies.
+John Brandon Dunker Thanks! I am on club Xterra. Is there another one that I should look at?
Here's the forum I mainly use. Jdunker26 is my username. www.thenewx.org/forum/
+John Brandon Dunker got it, thanks! Sent a friend request.
i recently bought a koyo radiator for my 2010 xterra so i wouldnt have to go threw all the trouble they are having with the fluids mixing and messing up the transmission, i have all brandnew fluids. so my question is, how much antifreeze will spill out doing the thermostat & sensor ? Do i need to drain the radiator? thanks dave..
+David Ferraiuolo yes. I would drain it all. The hoses you need to remove for the thermostat are pretty love on the motor so if you do not drain it before hand you will have quite a mess to deal with.
You do not need to worry about this problem. That defect is only in 2005-2009 models. If yours is a 2010, Nissan fixed the problem and a different radiator is installed. The problem radiator on 2005-2009 models is Calsonic 21460, EA265, F01055A07040. If you look at your radiator and it is not this one you have nothing to worry about.
+swiz oh ok.. well i already have the koyo installed, but i gave my OEM radiator to a co worker with a 2006 frontier, i wrote down the number u posted and told him to go look when he gets home. i could of swore on the class action lawsuit web page it said 2005 to 2010.. but whatever, ill find out and let u know ..thanks
Wait you gave a radiator that you thought was a ticking time bomb to your friend to use in his truck? lol
+swiz lol well he has a 2006 so i figured he would be better off with a 2010.. but he knows about the leaking problem so it wasnt like he didnt know.. lol
Is the thermostat sticking a common issue with the Xterra and the Frontier? I have an 06' Frontier that I think is starting to have this issue.
Hello Ry my names is Radu .I have a question about the exhaust system of my Nissan Xterra 2005.do you have a video on how to replace it?Thank you.
Here is a pickle for you. 4 x4 system maintenance? Good topic. My X decided not to turn on 4 X 4 and I have orange light (4x4) on the dash letting me know that it does not work. How do you do maintenance on this system and where to start looking for the cause?
What other lights are turned on? SLIP? VDC? ABS?
I should have found this video first. My temp gauge has been dropping to the lowest point while driving then going up again depending upon whether I was going uphill or down. Indications were air in the system and I spent hours on multiple occasions with the big funnel and squeezing hoses hot and cold.
I've finally decided that the Nissan garage can probably deal with it and since the 2011 Pathfinder has the original hoses and the serpentine belt tensioner has 155,000 miles it probably needs to be changed. Well, a potential $1300 bill sucks the air out of my room as a lifelong do-it-yourselfer (I previously changed valve covers on this car). Now that I'm waiting for word from the garage that it's done, I'm wondering if, while replacing the two camshaft and the one crankshaft position sensors recently, I may have disconnected the connector to the temperature sensor and if it's just close enough that a change in the attitude of the car from up to down is allowing it to make temporary connection. Replacing the passenger side camshaft position sensor was a bear and it appears the tab on the temp sensor is right below or next to that cam sensor.
Oh well.
By the way, thanks for all the help with my other work on the Pathfinder. That valve cover replacement was fun? One of my neighbors saw me in the garage with parts hanging on bunji cords and asked what I was doing. When I told him he said, " Hell, I don't even know how to open the hood of my wife's car"
Hi I have an 07 Nissan Frontier, it has been giving me problems for ever now, it was a used vehicle overheated since day one, changed thermostat, fan clutch, water pump, leaking plastic hose, new radiator and still heats up, jst need to change temperature cooling sensor, and dnt know what else to do.
Any suggestions besides getting rid of this pice off shyt??
@@rubenmar9596 You ever figure this out? I have the same issue. Possible head gasket issue?

Is there a plug somewhere on top of the engine to air bleed coolant system?
+ahtoh1 taking off the radiator cap should be enough
I changed thermostat and flushed coolant. Burped the system so there is no air left. It is now consistently running hot for 5 months. Thinking that thermostat is no good. Any other ideas? I actually found bleeder valve (so I think) on the passenger side back of the engine bay. Just trace large pipe from radiator. It is a rubber nipple pointing up.
I don't mean to be insulting but are you 100% sure you bought the right coolant?
Valid question about coolant. When I drained coolant it was generic green. No issues. After much research there were 2 fronts. One used Nissan coolant and other generic green. Both used successfully. I went with popular green stuff. In either case, wrong coolant only affects corrosion and not overheating.
Check and see if the cooling system doesn't have a leak. Do a pressure test. If the system stays under pressure, check the radiator cap. Is it worn? Seated correctly? Make sure it is tightened all the way? Hoses? upper and lower radiator hoses? Have someone look at them while under a load. Does one collapse? Fan, fan clutch? E-fan, does it come on while the vehicle idles in the driveway? How's the expansion tank look? Fluid in the expansion tank? Check all of these.
These videos have been a HUGE help on my ‘10 off-road X; Thanks for focusing on the xterra. Great truck. I’ve come into a predicament...I’ve been told that my right front ABS sensor is bad. I replaced 2-3 times and had a garage check it out too. My dash still lights up. Been told that circuit controls ABS, 4 wheel drive, and traction control. I’ve been told only option is to take to dealer and have it totally repaired due to a short somewhere in the line.
Do you have any suggestions, input or videos? Dealership claims this is somewhat common problem, but I’d rather not pay dealership prices if this is an easier fix.
Thanks Buddy!
Did you figure out the solution?
Great video! Except I believe the coolant is supposed to be green according to my research. Where did you find that info about the coolant?
+Dollar50Hotdog thanks! I got the coolant information from the factory service manual.
I found mine here (and my own owner's manual): xterrafirma.com/owners_manuals/2005-Nissan-Xterra.pdf under page 8-7 in the middle. It says "When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only a Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (green) or equivalent with the proper mixture ratio of50% anti-freeze and 50% demineralized or distilled water.
cool cool
Does the temp sensor last long?
Also, my temp goes up close to the H, stays more so in the middle but creeps up. Once I turn on heater it goes down close to cold. You think the sensor done? Or corroded?
No, it sounds like you're overheating
What year model? I own a 2011 Nissan Frontier V6 4.0 and believe my temperature sending unit sensor may need replacing.
Assuming same scenario for mine?
Yes. It would be the same
@Rythecarguy Ok great to hear from you. Thought so seeing same 4.0 engine. Thanks 👍
Hi Ry, trying to figure out what a normal running temperature. It's like 30 out and the coolant runs between 190-200. Thanks
dude i was having the same problem, and before replacing the water pump. check the fan clutch, after replacing that in my xterra the overheating went away
Thanks man, I ended up doing the fan clutch a little later. I have a video on that too.
Watching the end, when it was mentioned it overheated while sitting, that sounds like a cooling fan problem.
Should I buy Oem or aftermarket is fine?
Sensors I would go OEM, thermostat would be fine aftermarket
Do you know if this is the same as replacing a thermostat on a 2006 frontier? I think I'm having the same problem. It's also a 4L 6cyl.
Yes, I believe that it is. It should be Xterra, frontier, and pathfinder
Ry, I have a 2006 Nossan Xterra with 230,000+ miles on original drivetrain. Been havinn an issue with the oil gauge fluctuations at low RPM but the oil light never comes on. Replaced oil sending switch/unit. I dropped the oil pan and cleaned the oil screen. Still same issue. I did the timing chain about two years ago. Any ideas?
csterman10; is yours two wheel drive or four-wheel-drive? And how easy was it to drop the oil pan?
Thanks....By the way it sounds like your oil pump might be old I, or a loose connection behind the Dash
which OBDII reader did you get? Any recommendation on the reader and apps?

Are you going to lift your truck? There are many options. 2" 3" or so. I'm looking for instructional video for budget lift
Actually yes, I do plan to do that. It’s only a 2 wheel but I want to be able to demonstrate it for you guys.
Ry
I got a question,
I have a 05 xterra and here is whats up.
My wife's car had a check light for bank 1 cam position sensor and leakey valve covers forever. Using your video which was super helpful I did the valve covers changed the plugs and replaced the cam position sensor and VVT sensors on bank 1 and two because they were listed as possible culprits for the check engine light. Keep in mind that besides the smell of burnt oil the car ran great started great. So here is what is up the car is hard to start now with the new sensors... like it used to fire right up, now it has to cycle for like 4-5 seconds before it fires. So I took the intake off again and re-checked everything . I looked at all the plugs but one....the firewall on the drivers coil bolt was acting weird like it would loosen but not release tension. This could be my culprit but I have a hunch that its not. I just put it here because its questionable.
Now , the car runs great it doesn't hesitate or stumble I drove it 100 mile yesterday let it idle for long periods of time and no issues just the long cycle on the start? So my thought is the cam timing is off and the guy before who installed the engine adjusted the timing with his fancy scanner, if that is possible so that the car ran right with the bad sensors?
and now that it has good sensors .....the cam timing is off? I know it is a long shot but that is what i'm thinking.Honestly I am not even sure if a nice scanner like at the place that installed the engine could do that or not?
Or is there a relearn process for the computer that I need to do when replacing vvt or cam position sensor. I did disconnect the throttle body which is how I found this video? God Bless I love your videos, I am pretty mechanically inclined, but I am in uncharted territory right now as this is not my cj or a small block Chevy and it seems like one sensor is messing all of this up. I could take it apart and put the old sensors back, but that just would get my goat if it was still doing this?
Help Please
Jessica C; did you unplug the battery for couple hours to let the codes reset
Hello 👋 I watched all your videos because my pathfinder was overheating and my temperature gauge stars bouncing up and down I change the thermostat the temp sensor the fan the waterpump the radiator and keeps bouncing have you have this problem in your truck ?thanks and have a nice day
Did you figure it out?
Good video. Nissan sure puts parts in odd locations.
What was the operating temperature at when it was overheating? What temp is too hot? My X will get up to 230F which seems hot, but needle on the temp gauge is at the halfway point when at 230F.
Oh gosh. I'm sorry but I don't remember. I do know it was over 220 for some reason but not the exact number. I believe the standard thermostats in the Xterra opens around 185.
Saludos la Xterra mia lo mas que ha subido de temperatura es a 226F, no se si eso será muy alto o será normal, en el caso tuyo ha podido averiguar si esa temperatura de su vehículo es normal?
Hi. Did you use a special tool to pull the thermostat off after removing the 3 bolts or was it sheer force?
Heidi Ho I did not use any special tools.
My 2006 uses the green Nissan coolant …. According to the research online I did most say otherwise but never seemed to be all saying same thing . One person I trust online said what I had heard about a lot of cars since forever … as long as you flush the system well you can use almost any antifreeze ( assuming it’s as well rated as original manufacturer suggested or better) I’ve seen and done so with gm cars more than a few times in past decades with no issues … but I don’t trust with cars after say mid 2000’s quite as much … so I ask the parts guy at local parts store , he said green cap which was green fluid and listed 2006 nissans all models on container …. But it was a weird years where it was supposed to be used . Maybe not a 2005 but if you’ve got original fluid in and it’s green I’d think it’s correct … unless previous owner didn’t do his research and just used any old prestone coolant … which I’m pretty sure is a no no..
Shit I was hoping the thermostat did it .. mine will run to operating temp quick and stay there for 10-15 mins .. then it keeps creeping up till it hits the 3/4 dash on the gauge and I put the heat on to slowly bring it back down … I kinda assumed it was the water pump but don’t know if I can find time to do it myself and am worried about the whole idea of it being run off the timing chain … ugh
@@vicpnut1 Did you get it figured out? I'm looking at thermostats for my R51 Pathfinder and AutoZone has a choice between a 170* and a 180* t-stat. Maybe the lower temp. unit would be better for you? I'm in northern Ohio, so I'll stick with the 180* for heat in winter.
@@ItchyKneeSon actually after asking a Xterra forum and still no definitive answer I just on a whim got an oem thermostat and changed coolant … all has been perfect (gauge rides at between 3&4 o’clock )for a very long time now .and I don’t know about pathfinder but heat still works as it should and gets to temp very quickly ,even on cold days
Ty which obd reader did you purchase?
Thanks for your videos.I have Nissan pathfinder 2012 . Temperature sing normal before replacing new sparks .the temperature pointer become more than before replacing sparks.is this problem deu to programming.please help me
Is it necessary to use any sealant on the thermostat housing gasket? Gasket sealant or gasket shellac?
Nope, your new thermostat should come with a gasket.
Thanks Pal ! !
Of course!
u have any ideas on bypassing a part on heater control valve ,my busted with valve inside the hose
No, im sorry, I have not worked with that part of the system.
excellent videos, look I have a nterra xterra 2010, at this time turn on and off the engine turns on several lights but the fault is still not detected please help me.
Would these steps be good for an 02 Xterra?
It will not be exact.
Hi Ry. Have you experience that when you put the gear to reverse, the AC stop cooling? This is the issue of my car last week then after 2days the entire AC is not cooling. Need your advice pls
I am sorry, I have never heard of that.
I know it’s been a few years since you did this, but do you remember approximately how long it took to replace the ECT?
What is considered high temperature? Mine is running between 195 and 236. I think it is too hot. I think I need to do the thermostat
Saludos 236F es muy alto ha podido solucionarlo? o esa temperatura será normal?

Hi if i replace the thermostat in my Frontier 2006 4.0L. i need to put sealer like silicone in the gasket too. Or will work only with the gadket.
If it came with a gasket then only use the gasket.
Thanks a lot bro
do you have a video replacing heating core for Xterra 2005 , if I'm not mistaking the Pathfinder and this vehicle has the same engine ?
True. I have a 99 path made in Japan 218,000 mi runs lika champ
Is that a 4 or 6 cly
6 cyl
I have a 2010 xterra. When I need to add more anti freeze/coolant I use the premix labeled for all makes, all models and all colors of factory mix. It is now green in color. That should be fine right?
Joel Elbert no you should of flushed system first if your going to switch to green that's why they are different colors that fluid will turn to sludge. I'm assuming your coolant fluid was originally orange ?
In my truck I’m over heating bc the reservoir is slowing dripping my anti freeze out of the car. Could this be due to a blockage or bad thermostat?
James of All trades might be blown headgasket
On the 2010 xterra 4X4, temp guage goes up like after 6 miles or more on highway, above normal, at time it reaches the line next to H. Then it goes down at normal then goes bk to line next to H. And then the fan stays on but loud spinning sound. It wont stop....itll be quiet when it cools down. after it gets hot itll be loud n idk. What u think it is?
Hi Ry, do you know which is the ECM code for the thermostat? I have a P1281 code and according to google is the thermostat... but i want to be sure before change. thanks
P1281 on Nissan is this : Air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1
circuit no activity detected
It sounds like your air/fuel mixture is dead. P1281 is for bank 2.
can be the thermostat or I need to check something else?
Air/Fuel ratio sensor
Sometimes I have a code p0300, my question is could be a bad coil pack that is not sending the correct info to that sensor?
I have a 04 xterra would everything for the most part be the same
No I'm sorry. It's a different engine.
I have a 2006 Xterra where the trans fluid mixed with the coolant. I understand what needs to be done with the trans but I have flushed the coolant where it looks very good. However once the truck gets hot from running for a while I hear a noise coming from the left side of the front of the engine that resembles a squeaking belt however as soon as I release the pressure in the system by opening the radiator cap the squeaking immediately goes away. any idea on what this could be?
thank you for any information
John
Well first of all you really should not be driving the truck until you get the transmission bypass fixed. This problem could completely destroy your motor. Once you do get that fixed you should really go though the cooling system and replace everything that you can. This includes the temp sensor, the water pump and the thermostat. Shoot, if I were you I would even replace the radiator. Then those fluids mix it increases the viscosity of the fluid and it can block small ports that the radiator fluid would normally be able to get through. I understand that it is a ton of work but in the end you should be in good shape.
How did you make out on this? I'm thinking it might be your clutch fan. just because it creeps up when sitting. That's when the fan should be cooling the car. Thanks for showing me were the thermostat is. I hope to flush mine later this week.
+Shawn Sherman No problem! I did a full overhaul of the cooling parts. I flushed, did the temp sensor, thermo, and water pump. After all that its working great! I did not do the fan clutch cause its over $100 and I plan to someday move to electric and its around $50. Right now the fan runs non-stop but its NBD cause I live in FL and the engine has no problem getting up to temp.
Hi I hv a Nissan XTrail 2015. The aircond is faulty as my outside air and inside air flips back and forth on its own without anyone pressing the button. The outside air button lights up and will remain on for 4-5 mins before it flips to inside air for 2-3 mins then it goes back to outside air. Is this a temperature sensor problem? Hope u can advise.

Hey I have a 2006 Nissan when I do the test it everything turns on but my fan turns on and then it don't turn on again but I can hear the solenoid clicking what could it be
Maybe the motor itself. Pop it out and bench test it.

Hey I really need your help.
my Nissan Xterra is a 2005 too. My car cannot drive far or it will heat up, although, the thing doesn't mark the car hot, but when I open the front, it's steaming and you can smell it. It's obviously over heating, but I don't know if the water isn't going threw the hose, or if its the thermostat. What is the reasoning for this? I know it is not the thing inside the car that marks it.
+Ann Banuelos First off make sure that you have the right amount of fluid in the truck. Buy some radiator fluid and wait until the truck is completely cold!! At least 1-2 hours after driving it. Then open the radiator and fill it up as much as you can and "burp" the system like I show in the end of this video. If you are able to get a lot of fluid into the system that means you were just low (very low). If there is not enough fluid in the system the car will overheat/steam and the temperature gauge will not show a high temp because no fluid is touching the meter. Also be sure to buy the proper fluid. If this fixes your problem then you need to find out how the radiator fluid is getting out of your motor. Be careful!!
+Ry the car guy Thank You So Much for taking the time to read my question and reply! it means a lot , you're amazing. 😭💯
Aww of course! You should try what I said first since its the easiest and cheapest. If that does not work then your thermostat or water pump may be bad. Let me know if you need anything else.
+Ry the car guy Alright I will, thank you. 💕
I'll be your first subscriber. Good job. When you can, do some research on the transmission on this car. Whoa.
+WebProVideo Yea, I hear they have a fatal flaw in the automatic transmissions on these trucks. Luckily I bought the manual trans. Strong like bull!!!Thanks for subscribing!
Dude. This is a great video - thank you for taking the time to put it together. I have an '06 Xterra with a manual trans that just creeped over 150k this winter. It has been an incredible vehicle, and I have honestly not done any maintenance other than preventative and/or routine. However, I am still running on the original clutch, and was wondering if you had any plans to replace your own, or if you suggest having it professionally done? I am very mechanically inclined... but the X has just never given me a reason to do major surgery. Hoping you will have as good of luck as I have had with mine - the 4.0 with the manual trans is a bullet proof combo!
+Garrett Dean thanks man I love mine too! I don't plan to touch the clutch unless it gives me problems. As of right now its locking in great. If you are mechanically inclined I would say go for it! I think the biggest chilling you would have is getting the truck far enough off the ground to effectively work on the clutch.

Question? Did you receive a p0128 code on your obd2 prior to doing the replacement. I'm kind of in the same situation. My temp dial doesn't reach the halfway point and when the thermostat is high heat at the idle position sometimes it will kick out cool air. Any suggestions?
i need to know where the cooling fan relaly switch
There is no fan relay switch. The fan is mechanical in this car, it has a clutch system that the blades are attached to.
if my car heats up what does that mean
where is the cooling fan at in a 2001 nissian xterra
Oh I didn't realize you were talking about a first generation. That's totally different. The fan is always going to be attached to the back of the radiator in front of the motor. I do not know anything about the first generation but if it is electrical then always check the fuses first. If the fuse is bad then replace it and see if that fixes it. If not then its most likely the relay. In that case you will have to research where it is.
I have Nissan pathfinder 2006

have a xterra 2008 change termostat,radiator,when idle heat work fine but ;;when running over 40 miles it get cold, motor temperature drop ,no heat at all,change blower, heat resistence;;
dont know what to do next;;
Puede trabajar el motor sin termostato??
Yes, it will just run cold and the heat probably won't work.
I need to replace fuel temperature sensor how do I do it?
HI do YOU ever fixed the overheating problem .MY IS 2008 PATHFINDER V6, I CHANGE THE THERMOSTAT AND STILL OVERHEATING
You may have to replace the water pump. I have a video for that too. I ended up replacing the temp sensors, the thermostat, the water pump, fan clutch, and all the coolant.
My 2000 V6 Automatic transmission 4x4 is over heating. No blown head gasket, new water pump, timing belt, heater hoses, radiator, and no thermostat. So going to remove the catalytic converters and see if that fixes it. Clogged cats can also cause overheating, apparently.
No thermostat WILL run Hotter and overheat.
Got thermostat and coolant guy at auto store said use green antifreeze
