WARNING: FE
I To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death
in the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance should be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN dealer. CL
I Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the RS section. MT
I Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow harness connector.

Precautions for Working with HFC-134a
(R-134a)
WARNING:
NJHA0002
AX
I CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant are not compatible. These refrigerants
must never be mixed, even in the smallest amounts. If the refrigerants are mixed, compressor SU
malfunction is likely to occur.
I Use only specified lubricant for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) compo-
nents. If lubricant other than that specified is used, compressor malfunction is likely to occur. BR
I The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) lubricant rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The fol-
lowing handling precautions must be observed:
a) When removing refrigerant components from a vehicle, immediately cap (seal) the component to ST
minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere.
b) When installing refrigerant components to a vehicle, do not remove the caps (unseal) until just
before connecting the components. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as pos- RS
sible to minimize the entry of moisture into system.
c) Only use the specified lubricant from a sealed container. Immediately reseal containers of lubri- BT
cant. Without proper sealing, lubricant will become moisture saturated and should not be used.
d) Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and
throat. Remove HFC-134a (R-134a) from the A/C system, using certified service equipment meet-
ing requirements of HFC-134a (R-134a) recycling equipment, or HFC-134a (R-134a) recovery equip-
ment. If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service. Addi-
tional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and lubricant manufactur- SC
ers.
e) Do not allow lubricant (Nissan A/C System Oil Type R) to come in contact with styrofoam parts.
Damage may result. EL
General Refrigerant Precautions NJHA0003
WARNING: IDX
I Do not release refrigerant into the air. Use approved recovery/recycling equipment to capture the
refrigerant every time an air conditioning system is discharged.
I Always wear eye and hand protection (goggles and gloves) when working with any refrigerant or
air conditioning system.
HA-3
PRECAUTIONS AUTO
General Refrigerant Precautions (Cont’d)
I Do not store or heat refrigerant containers above 52°C (125°F).
I Do not heat a refrigerant container with an open flame; if container warming is required, place the
bottom of the container in a warm pail of water.
I Do not intentionally drop, puncture, or incinerate refrigerant containers.
I Keep refrigerant away from open flames: poisonous gas will be produced if refrigerant burns.
I Refrigerant will displace oxygen, therefore be certain to work in well ventilated areas to prevent
suffocation.
I Do not pressure test or leak test HFC-134a (R-134a) service equipment and/or vehicle air condi-
tioning systems with compressed air during repair. Some mixtures of air and HFC-134a (R-134a)
have been shown to be combustible at elevated pressures. These mixtures, if ignited, may cause
injury or property damage. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrig-
erant manufacturers.
Precautions for Leak Detection Dye NJHA0224
I The A/C system contains a fluorescent leak detection dye used for locating refrigerant leaks. An ultravio-
let (UV) lamp is required to illuminate the dye when inspecting for leaks.
I Always wear fluorescence enhancing UV safety glasses to protect your eyes and enhance the visibility of
the fluorescent dye.
I A compressor shaft seal should not be repaired because of dye seepage. The compressor shaft seal
should only be repaired after confirming the leak with an electronic refrigerant leak detector.
I Always remove any dye from the leak area after repairs are complete to avoid a misdiagnosis during a
future service.
I Do not allow dye to come into contact with painted body panels or interior components. If dye is spilled,
clean immediately with the approved dye cleaner. Fluorescent dye left on a surface for an extended period
of time cannot be removed.
I Do not spray the fluorescent dye cleaning agent on hot surfaces (engine exhaust manifold, etc.).
I Do not use more than one refrigerant dye bottle (1/4 ounce / 7.4 cc) per A/C system.
I Leak detection dyes for HFC-134a (R-134a) and CFC-12 (R12) A/C systems are different. Do not use
HFC-134a (R-134a) leak detection dye in CFC-12 (R-12) A/C system or CFC-12 (R-12) leak detection dye
in HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C systems or A/C system damage may result.
I The fluorescent properties of the dye will remain for over three (3) years unless a compressor malfunction
occurs.
Precaution for Identification Label on Vehicle NJHA0225

I Vehicles with factory installed fluorescent dye have this iden-
tification label on the under side of hood.
I Vehicles with factory installed fluorescent dye have a green
label.
I Vehicles without factory installed fluorescent dye have a blue
label.

Precautions for Refrigerant Connection NJHA0004

A new type refrigerant connection has been introduced to all refrigerant lines except the following location.
I Expansion valve to cooling unit
FEATURES OF NEW TYPE REFRIGERANT CONNECTION NJHA0004S01
I The O-ring has been relocated. It has also been provided with a groove for proper installation. This elimi-
nates the chance of the O-ring being caught in, or damaged by, the mating part. The sealing direction of
the O-ring is now set vertically in relation to the contacting surface of the mating part to improve sealing
characteristics.
I The reaction force of the O-ring will not occur in the direction that causes the joint to pull out, thereby
facilitating piping connections.

WARNING:
Make sure all refrigerant is discharged into the recycling equipment and the pressure in the system
is less than atmospheric pressure. Then gradually loosen the discharge side hose fitting and remove
it.
CAUTION:
When replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components, observe the following.
I When the compressor is removed, store it in the same position as it is when mounted on the car.
Failure to do so will cause lubricant to enter the low pressure chamber.
I When connecting tubes, always use a torque wrench and a back-up wrench.
I After disconnecting tubes, immediately plug all openings to prevent entry of dirt and moisture.
I When installing an air conditioner in the vehicle, connect the pipes as the final stage of the opera-
tion. Do not remove the seal caps of pipes and other components until just before required for
connection.
I Allow components stored in cool areas to warm to working area temperature before removing seal
caps. This prevents condensation from forming inside A/C components.
I Thoroughly remove moisture from the refrigeration system before charging the refrigerant.
I Always replace used O-rings.
I When connecting tube, apply lubricant to circle of the O-rings shown in illustration. Be careful not
to apply lubricant to threaded portion.
Lubricant name: Nissan A/C System Oil Type R
Part number: KLH00-PAGR0
I O-ring must be closely attached to dented portion of tube.
I When replacing the O-ring, be careful not to damage O-ring and tube.
I Connect tube until you hear it click, then tighten the nut or bolt by hand until snug. Make sure that
the O-ring is installed to tube correctly.
I After connecting line, conduct leak test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections.
When the gas leaking point is found, disconnect that line and replace the O-ring. Then tighten
connections of seal seat to the specified torque.

I Plug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering.
I When replacing or repairing compressor, follow “Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compres- AT
sor” exactly. Refer to HA-120.
I Keep friction surfaces between clutch and pulley clean. If the surface is contaminated, with AX
lubricant, wipe it off by using a clean waste cloth moistened with thinner.
I After compressor service operation, turn the compressor shaft by hand more than five turns in
both directions. This will equally distribute lubricant inside the compressor. After the compressor SU
is installed, let the engine idle and operate the compressor for one hour.
I After replacing the compressor magnet clutch, apply voltage to the new one and check for normal
operation. BR

Precautions for Service Equipment (Cont’d)
VACUUM PUMP NJHA0006S03
The lubricant contained inside the vacuum pump is not compatible
with the specified lubricant for HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C systems.
The vent side of the vacuum pump is exposed to atmospheric
pressure. So the vacuum pump lubricant may migrate out of the
pump into the service hose. This is possible when the pump is
switched off after evacuation (vacuuming) and hose is connected
to it.
To prevent this migration, use a manual valve placed near the
hose-to-pump connection, as follows.
I Usually vacuum pumps have a manual isolator valve as part
of the pump. Close this valve to isolate the service hose from
the pump.
I For pumps without an isolator, use a hose equipped with a
manual shut-off valve near the pump end. Close the valve to
isolate the hose from the pump.
I If the hose has an automatic shut off valve, disconnect the
hose from the pump. As long as the hose is connected, the
valve is open and lubricating oil may migrate.
Some one-way valves open when vacuum is applied and close
under a no vacuum condition. Such valves may restrict the pump’s
ability to pull a deep vacuum and are not recommended.
RHA270DA
MANIFOLD GAUGE SET NJHA0006S04

Be certain that the gauge face indicates HFC-134a (R-134a). Be
sure the gauge set has 1/2″-16 ACME threaded connections for
service hoses. Confirm the set has been used only with refrigerant
HFC-134a (R-134a) and specified lubricants.

Refrigeration System
REFRIGERATION CYCLE NJHA0010
Refrigerant Flow NJHA0010S01
The refrigerant flows in the standard pattern, that is, through the compressor, the condenser, the liquid tank,
through the evaporator, and back to the compressor. The refrigerant evaporation through the evaporator coil
is controlled by an externally equalized expansion valve, located inside the heater & cooling unit.
Freeze Protection NJHA0010S02
The compressor cycles go on and off to maintain the evaporator temperature within a specified range. When
the evaporator coil temperature falls below a specified point, the thermo control amplifier interrupts the com-
pressor operation. When the evaporator coil temperature rises above the specification, the thermo control
amplifier allows compressor operation.
Refrigerant System Protection NJHA0010S03
Refrigerant Pressure Sensor NJHA0010S0303
The refrigerant system is protected against excessively high or low pressures by the refrigerant pressure
sensor, located on the liquid tank. If the system pressure rises above, or falls below the specifications, the
refrigerant pressure sensor detects the pressure inside the refrigerant line and sends the voltage signal to the
ECM. ECM makes the A/C relay go OFF and stops the compressor when pressure on the high pressure side
detected by refrigerant pressure sensor is over about 2,746 kPa (27.5 bar, 28 kg/cm2, 398 psi) or below about
177 kPa (1.77 bar, 1.8 kg/cm2, 26 psi).
Pressure Relief Valve NJHA0010S0302
The refrigerant system is also protected by a pressure relief valve, located in the rear head of the compres-
sor. When the pressure of refrigerant in the system increases to an unusual level [more than 3,727 kPa (37.3
bar, 38 kg/cm2, 540 psi)], the release port on the pressure relief valve automatically opens and releases
refrigerant into the atmosphere.

door motor. The auto amplifier and motors are connected by data transmission lines and motor power supply
lines. The LAN network is built through the ground circuits of the three motors.
Addresses, motor opening angle signals, motor stop signals and error checking messages are all transmitted
through the data transmission lines connecting the auto amplifier and two motors.
The following functions are contained in LCUs built into the mode door motor, air mix door motor and intake
door motor.
I Address
I Motor opening angle signals
I Data transmission
I Motor stop and drive decision
I Opening angle sensor (PBR function)
I Comparison
I Decision (Auto amplifier indicated value and motor opening angle comparison)
RHA350H
Operation NJHA0014S0801
The auto amplifier receives data from each of the sensors. The amplifier sends mode door motor, air mix door
motor and intake door motor opening angle data to the mode door motor LCU, air mix door motor LCU and
intake door motor LCU.
The mode door motor, air mix door motor and intake door motor read their respective signals according to the
address signal. Opening angle indication signals received from the auto amplifier and each of the motor posi-
tion sensors are compared by the LCUs in each motor with the existing decision and opening angles.
Subsequently, HOT/COLD or DEFROST/VENT operation is selected. The new selection data is returned to
the auto amplifier.

Transmission Data and Transmission Order NJHA0014S0802
Amplifier data is transmitted consecutively to each of the door motors following the form shown in figure below. EC
Start: Initial compulsory signal sent to each of the door motors.
Address: Data sent from the auto amplifier is selected according to data-based decisions made by the mode
door motor, air mix door motor and intake door motor. FE
If the addresses are identical, the opening angle data and error check signals are received by the door motor
LCUs. The LCUs then make the appropriate error decision. If the opening angle data is normal, door control
begins. CL
If an error exists, the received data is rejected and corrected data received. Finally, door control is based upon
the corrected opening angle data.
Opening angle: Data that shows the indicated door opening angle of each door motor. MT
Error check: Procedure by which sent and received data is checked for errors. Error data is then compiled.
The error check prevents corrupted data from being used by the mode door motor, air mix door motor and
intake door motor. Error data can be related to the following problems. AT
I Inaccurate electrical frequency
I Poor electrical connections
AX
I Signal leakage from transmission lines
I Signal level fluctuation
Stop signal: At the end of each transmission, a stop operation, in-operation, or internal problem message is SU
delivered to the auto amplifier. This completes one data transmission and control cycle.

Fan Speed Control NJHA0014S0804
Blower speed is automatically controlled based on temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle
temperature, intake temperature, amount of sunload and air mix door position.
With FAN switch set to “AUTO”, the blower motor starts to gradually increase air flow volume.
When engine coolant temperature is low, the blower motor operation is delayed to prevent cool air from flow-
ing.
Intake Door Control NJHA0014S0805
The intake doors are automatically controlled by: The temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle
temperature, intake temperature, amount of sunload and ON-OFF operation of the compressor.
Outlet Door Control NJHA0014S0806
The outlet door is automatically controlled by: The temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle
temperature, intake temperature and amount of sunload.
Magnet Clutch Control NJHA0014S0807
The ECM controls compressor operation using input signals from the throttle position sensor and auto ampli-
fier.

Automatic Mode NJHA0062S03
In the automatic mode, the blower motor speed is calculated by the automatic amplifier based on inputs from
the PBR, in-vehicle sensor, sunload sensor, intake sensor and ambient sensor. The blower motor applied ST
voltage ranges from approximately 5 volts (lowest speed) to 12 volts (highest speed).
The control blower speed (in the range of 5 to 12V), the automatic amplifier supplies a gate voltage to the fan
control amplifier. Based on this voltage, the fan control amplifier controls the voltage supplied to the blower RS
motor.
Starting Fan Speed Control NJHA0062S04 BT
Start Up From “COLD SOAK” Condition (Automatic mode) NJHA0062S0401
In a cold start up condition where the engine coolant temperature is below 56°C (133°F) (with digital display)
and 55°C (131°F) (without digital display), the blower will operate at restricted speed (in the range of 3V) for
a short period of time (up to 150 seconds). The exact start delay time varies depending on the ambient and
engine coolant temperature.
In the most extreme case (very low ambient) the blower starting delay will be 150 seconds as described above. SC
After this delay, the engine coolant temperature rises above 56°C (133°F) (with digital display) and 55°C
(131°F) (without digital display), at which time the blower speed will increase to the objective speed.
Start Up From Normal or “HOT SOAK” Condition (Automatic mode)
EL
NJHA0062S0402
The blower will begin operation momentarily after the AUTO button is pushed. The blower speed will gradu-
ally rise to the objective speed over a time period of 3 seconds or less (actual time depends on the objective IDX
blower speed).

Blower Speed Compensation NJHA0062S05
Sunload NJHA0062S0501
When the in-vehicle temperature and the set temperature when mode door position is VENT or B/L are very
close, the blower will be operating at low speed. The low speed will vary depending on the sunload. During
conditions of high sunload, the blower low speed is “high” low speed (approx. 7.5V). During low or no sunload
conditions, the low speed will drop to “normal” low speed (approx. 5V).

Ambient Sensor Circuit

The ambient sensor is attached to the radiator core support. It
detects ambient temperature and converts it into a resistance value
which is then input into the auto amplifier.
RHA644H
HA-104
Ambient Sensor Circuit (Cont’d)
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE INPUT PROCESS NJHA0040
The automatic amplifier includes a “processing circuit” for the ambi-
ent sensor input. However, when the temperature detected by the GI
ambient sensor increases quickly, the processing circuit retards the
auto amp. function. It only allows the auto amp. to recognize an
ambient temperature increase of 0.33°C (0.6°F) per 100 seconds. MA
As an example, consider stopping for a cup of coffee after high
speed driving. Although the actual ambient temperature has not
changed, the temperature detected by the ambient sensor will EM
increase. This is because the heat from the engine compartment
can radiate to the front grille area, location of the ambient sensor.

Sunload Sensor Circuit
EC
The sunload sensor is located on the assist side defroster grille. It
detects sunload entering through windshield by means of a photo
diode. The sensor converts the sunload into a current value which FE
is then input into the auto amplifier.
CL
RHA655H
MT
SUNLOAD INPUT PROCESS NJHA0047
The auto amp. also includes a processing circuit which “average” AT
the variations in detected sunload over a period of time. This pre-
vents drastic swings in the ATC system operation due to small or
quick variations in detected sunload. AX
For example, consider driving along a road bordered by an occa-
sional group of large trees. The sunload detected by the sunload
sensor will vary whenever the trees obstruct the sunlight. The pro- SU
cessing circuit averages the detected sunload over a period of
time, so that the (insignificant) effect of the trees momentarily
obstructing the sunlight does not cause any change in the ATC BR
system operation. On the other hand, shortly after entering a long
tunnel, the system will recognize the change in sunload, and the
system will react accordingly. ST

CHECKING REFRIGERANT LEAKS =NJHA0078
Preliminary Check NJHA0078S01
Perform a visual inspection of all refrigeration parts, fittings, hoses,
and components for signs of A/C lubricant leakage, damage and
corrosion. Take note of the areas with A/C lubricant leakage to
allow extra time in these areas with electronic leak detector.
Precautions for Handling Leak Detector NJHA0078S02

When performing a refrigerant leak check, use an A/C leak detec-
tor or equivalent. Ensure that the instrument is calibrated and set
properly per the operating instructions.
The leak detector is a delicate device. In order to use the leak
detector properly, read the operating instructions and perform any
specified maintenance.
Other gases in the work area or substances on the A/C
components, for example, anti-freeze, windshield washer
fluid, solvents and lubricants, may falsely trigger the leak
detector. Make sure the surfaces to be checked are clean.
SHA705EB
Clean with a dry cloth or blow off with shop air. Do not allow
the sensor tip of the detector to contact with any substance.
This can also cause false readings and may damage the detec-
tor.
1. Position probe approximately 5 mm (3/16 in) away from point

to be checked.
SHA707EA
2. When testing, circle each fitting completely with probe.
SHA706E
HA-132
3. Move probe along component approximately 25 to 50 mm (1
to 2 in)/sec.
GI
MA
EM
SHA708EA LC
Checking Procedure NJHA0078S03
To prevent inaccurate or false readings, make sure there is no EC
refrigerant vapor, shop chemicals, or cigarette smoke in the
vicinity of the vehicle. Perform the leak test in calm area (low
air/wind movement) so that the leaking refrigerant is not dis- FE
persed.
1. Turn engine off.
2. Connect a suitable A/C manifold gauge set to the A/C service CL
ports.
3. Check if the A/C refrigerant pressure is at least 345.2 kPa (3.45
bar, 3.52 kg/cm2, 50.1 psi) above 16°C (61°F). If less than MT
specification, recover/evacuate and recharge the system with
the specified amount of refrigerant.
AT
NOTE:
At temperatures below 16°C (61°F), leaks may not be detected
since the system may not reach 345.2 kPa (3.45 bar, 3.52 kg/cm2, AX
50.1 psi).
4. Conduct the leak test from the high side (compressor dis-
charge a to evaporator inlet g) to the low side (evaporator drain SU
hose h to shaft seal k). Refer to HA-131. Perform a leak check
for the following areas carefully. Clean the component to be
checked and move the leak detector probe completely around BR
the connection/component.
I Compressor
Check the fitting of high and low pressure hoses, relief valve ST
and shaft seal.
I Liquid tank
Check the refrigerant pressure sensor, tube fitting, weld seams RS
and the fusible plug mount.
I Service valves BT
Check all around the service valves. Ensure service valve caps
are secured on the service valves (to prevent leaks).
NOTE:
After removing A/C manifold gauge set from service valves, wipe
any residue from valves to prevent any false readings by leak
detector. SC
I Cooling unit (Evaporator)
With engine OFF, turn blower fan on “High” for at least 15
seconds to dissipate any refrigerant trace in the cooling unit. EL
Wait a minimum of 10 minutes accumulation time (refer to the
manufacturer’s recommended procedure for actual wait time)
before inserting the leak detector probe into the drain hose. IDX
Keep the probe inserted for at least ten seconds. Use caution
not to contaminate the ptobe tip with water or dirt that may be
in the drain hose.
HA-133
5. If a leak detector detects a leak, verify at least once by blow-
ing compressed air into area of suspected leak, then repeat
check as outlined above.
6. Do not stop when one leak is found. Continue to check for
additional leaks at all system components.
If no leaks are found, perform steps 7 - 10.
7. Start engine.
8. Set the heater A/C control as follows:
1) A/C switch ON.
2) Face mode
3) Recirculation position
4) Max cold temperature
5) Fan speed high
9. Run engine at 1,500 rpm for at least 2 minutes.
10. Turn engine off and perform leak check again following steps
4 through 6 above.
Refrigerant leaks should be checked immediately after

stopping the engine. Begin with the leak detector at the
compressor. The pressure on the high pressure side will
gradually drop after refrigerant circulation stops and pres-
sure on the low pressure side will gradually rise, as shown
in the graph. Some leaks are more easily detected when
pressure is high.
SHA839E
11. Discharge A/C system using approved refrigerant recovery

equipment. Repair the leaking fitting or component as neces-
sary.
12. Evacuate and recharge A/C system and perform the leak test
to confirm no refrigerant leaks.
13. Conduct A/C performance test to ensure system works
properly.

leakage. Fluorescent dye observed at the evaporator drain
opening indicates an evaporator core assembly (tubes, core or
TXV) leak. EM
2. If the suspected area is difficult to see, use an adjustable mir-
ror or wipe the area with a clean shop rag or cloth, then check
the cloth with the UV lamp for dye residue.
LC
3. Confirm any suspected leaks with an approved electronic
refrigerant leak detector. EC
4. After the leak is repaired, remove any residual dye using dye

PRECAUTIONS MANUAL
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR

BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER” NJHA0190
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER” used along with
a seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain types of
collision. The SRS system composition which is available to NISSAN MODEL N16 is as follows (The compo-
sition varies according to the destination and optional equipment.):
I For a frontal collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of driver air bag module (located in the center of the steer-
ing wheel), front passenger air bag module (located on the instrument panel on passenger side), front seat
belt pre-tensioners, a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring harness and spiral cable.
I For a side collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of front side air bag module (located in the outer side of front
seat), side air bag (satellite) sensor, diagnosis sensor unit (one of components of air bags for a frontal
collision), wiring harness, warning lamp (one of components of air bags for a frontal collision).
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the RS section of this Service Manual.
WARNING:
I To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death
in the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance should be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN dealer.
I Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the RS section.
I Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow harness connector.
Precautions for Working with HFC-134a
(R-134a) NJHA0113
WARNING:
I CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant are not compatible. These refrigerants
must never be mixed, even in the smallest amounts. If the refrigerants are mixed, compressor
malfunction is likely to occur.
I Use only specified lubricant for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) compo-
nents. If lubricant other than that specified is used, compressor malfunction is likely to occur.
I The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) lubricant rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The fol-
lowing handling precautions must be observed:
a) When removing refrigerant components from a vehicle, immediately cap (seal) the component to
minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere.
b) When installing refrigerant components to a vehicle, do not remove the caps (unseal) until just
before connecting the components. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as pos-
sible to minimize the entry of moisture into system.
c) Only use the specified lubricant from a sealed container. Immediately reseal containers of lubri-
cant. Without proper sealing, lubricant will become moisture saturated and should not be used.
d) Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and
throat. Remove HFC-134a (R-134a) from the A/C system, using certified service equipment meet-
ing requirements of HFC-134a (R-134a) recycling equipment, or HFC-134a (R-134a) recovery equip-
ment. If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service. Addi-
tional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and lubricant manufactur-
ers.
e) Do not allow lubricant (Nissan A/C System Oil Type S and Type R) to come in contact with styro-
foam parts. Damage may result.
General Refrigerant Precautions NJHA0114
WARNING:
I Do not release refrigerant into the air. Use approved recovery/recycling equipment to capture the
refrigerant every time an air conditioning system is discharged.
I Always wear eye and hand protection (goggles and gloves) when working with any refrigerant or
air conditioning system.
HA-138
PRECAUTIONS MANUAL
General Refrigerant Precautions (Cont’d)
I Do not store or heat refrigerant containers above 52°C (125°F).
I Do not heat a refrigerant container with an open flame; if container warming is required, place the
bottom of the container in a warm pail of water. GI
I Do not intentionally drop, puncture, or incinerate refrigerant containers.
I Keep refrigerant away from open flames: poisonous gas will be produced if refrigerant burns.
MA
I Refrigerant will displace oxygen, therefore be certain to work in well ventilated areas to prevent
suffocation.
I Do not pressure test or leak test HFC-134a (R-134a) service equipment and/or vehicle air condi- EM
tioning systems with compressed air during repair. Some mixtures of air and HFC-134a (R-134a)
have been shown to be combustible at elevated pressures. These mixtures, if ignited, may cause
injury or property damage. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrig- LC
erant manufacturers.
Precautions for Leak Detection Dye NJHA0226 EC
I The A/C system contains a fluorescent leak detection dye used for locating refrigerant leaks. An ultravio-
let (UV) lamp is required to illuminate the dye when inspecting for leaks.
I Always wear fluorescence enhancing UV safety glasses to protect your eyes and enhance the visibility of FE
the fluorescent dye.
I A compressor shaft seal should not be repaired because of dye seepage. The compressor shaft seal
should only be repaired after confirming the leak with an electronic refrigerant leak detector. CL
I Always remove any dye from the leak area after repairs are complete to avoid a misdiagnosis during a
future service. MT
I Do not allow dye to come into contact with painted body panels or interior components. If dye is spilled,
clean immediately with the approved dye cleaner. Fluorescent dye left on a surface for an extended period
of time cannot be removed. AT
I Do not spray the fluorescent dye cleaning agent on hot surfaces (engine exhaust manifold, etc.).
I Do not use more than one refrigerant dye bottle (1/4 ounce / 7.4 cc) per A/C system.
I Leak detection dyes for HFC-134a (R-134a) and CFC-12 (R-12) A/C systems are different. Do not use AX
HFC-134a (R-134a) leak detection dye in CFC-12 (R-12) A/C system or CFC-12 (R-12) leak detection dye
in HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C systems or A/C system damage may result.
SU
I The fluorescent properties of the dye will remain for over three (3) years unless a compressor malfunction
occurs.

it. FE
CAUTION:
When replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components, observe the following.
CL
Failure to do so will cause lubricant to enter the low pressure chamber.
I When connecting tubes, always use a torque wrench and a back-up wrench. MT
I After disconnecting tubes, immediately plug all openings to prevent entry of dirt and moisture.
I When installing an air conditioner in the vehicle, connect the pipes as the final stage of the opera-
tion. Do not remove the seal caps of pipes and other components until just before required for AT
connection.
I Allow components stored in cool areas to warm to working area temperature before removing seal
caps. This prevents condensation from forming inside A/C components.

sor” exactly. Refer to HA-241.
I Keep friction surfaces between clutch and pulley clean. If the surface is contaminated, with
lubricant, wipe it off by using a clean waste cloth moistened with thinner.
I After compressor service operation, turn the compressor shaft by hand more than five turns in
both directions. This will equally distribute lubricant inside the compressor. After the compressor
is installed, let the engine idle and operate the compressor for one hour.
I After replacing the compressor magnet clutch, apply voltage to the new one and check for normal
operation.

PRECAUTIONS MANUAL
VACUUM PUMP NJHA0117S03
The lubricant contained inside the vacuum pump is not compatible
with the specified lubricant for HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C systems. GI
The vent side of the vacuum pump is exposed to atmospheric
pressure. So the vacuum pump lubricant may migrate out of the
pump into the service hose. This is possible when the pump is MA
switched off after evacuation (vacuuming) and hose is connected
to it.
To prevent this migration, use a manual valve situated near the EM
hose-to-pump connection, as follows.
I Usually vacuum pumps have a manual isolator valve as part
of the pump. Close this valve to isolate the service hose from LC
the pump.
I For pumps without an isolator, use a hose equipped with a EC
manual shut-off valve near the pump end. Close the valve to
isolate the hose from the pump.
I If the hose has an automatic shut off valve, disconnect the FE
hose from the pump: as long as the hose is connected, the
valve is open and lubricating oil may migrate.
Some one-way valves open when vacuum is applied and close CL
under a no vacuum condition. Such valves may restrict the pump’s
ability to pull a deep vacuum and are not recommended.

DESCRIPTION MANUAL
REFRIGERATION CYCLE NJHA0121
Refrigerant Flow NJHA0121S01
The refrigerant flows in the standard pattern, that is, through the compressor, the condenser, the liquid tank,
through the evaporator, and back to the compressor. The refrigerant evaporation through the evaporator coil
is controlled by an externally equalized expansion valve, located inside the heater & cooling unit.
Freeze Protection NJHA0121S02
The compressor cycles go on and off to maintain the evaporator temperature within a specified range. When
the evaporator coil temperature falls below a specified point, the thermo control amplifier interrupts the com-
pressor operation. When the evaporator coil temperature rises above the specification, the thermo control
amplifier allows compressor operation.
Refrigerant System Protection NJHA0121S03
The refrigerant system is protected against excessively high or low pressures by the refrigerant pressure
sensor, located on the liquid tank. If the system pressure rises above, or falls below the specifications, the
refrigerant pressure sensor detects the pressure inside the refrigerant line and sends the voltage signal to the
ECM. ECM makes the A/C relay go OFF and stops the compressor when pressure on the high pressure side
detected by refrigerant pressure sensor is over about 2,746 kPa (27.5 bar, 28 kg/cm2, 398 psi) or below about
137 kPa (1.37 bar, 1.4 kg/cm2, 20 psi).
Dual-pressure Switch NJHA0121S0304
The refrigerant system is protected against excessively high or low pressures by the dual-pressure switch,
located on the liquid tank. If the pressure falls out of specifications, the switch opens to interrupt compressor
operation.
Pressure Relief Valve NJHA0121S0302
The refrigerant system is also protected by a pressure relief valve, located in the rear head of the compres-
sor. When the pressure of refrigerant in the system increases to an unusual level [more than 3,727 kPa (37.3
bar, 38 kg/cm2, 540 psi)], the release port on the pressure relief valve automatically opens and releases
refrigerant into the atmosphere.

DESCRIPTION MANUAL
CSV613 Variable Displacement Compressor
CSV613 Variable Displacement Compressor

GENERAL INFORMATION
1. The CSV613 compressor differs from previous units. The vent temperatures of the CSV613 compressor
NJHA0206
GI
do not drop too far below 5°C (41°F) when:
I evaporator intake air temperature is less than 20°C (68°F) MA
I engine is running at speeds less than 1,500 rpm.
This is because the CSV613 compressor provides a means of “capacity” control.
2. The CSV613 compressor provides refrigerant control under varying conditions. During cold winters, it may EM
not produce high refrigerant pressure discharge (compared to previous units) when used with air condi-
tioning systems.
LC
3. A “clanking” sound may occasionally be heard during refrigerant charge. The sound indicates that the tilt
angle of the swash plate has changed and is not a problem.
4. For air conditioning systems with the CSV613 compressor, the clutch remains engaged unless: the sys- EC
tem main switch, fan switch or ignition switch is turned OFF. When ambient (outside) temperatures are
low or when the amount of refrigerant is insufficient, the clutch is disengaged to protect the compressor.
5. A constant range of suction pressure is maintained when engine speed is greater than a certain value. It FE
normally ranges from 147 to 177 kPa (1.47 to 1.77 bar, 1.5 to 1.8 kg/cm2, 21 to 26 psi) under varying con-
ditions.
In previous compressors, however, suction pressure was reduced with increases in engine speed. CL

CSV613 Variable Displacement Compressor (Cont’d)
DESCRIPTION =NJHA0207
General NJHA0207S01
The variable compressor is basically a swash plate type that changes piston stroke in response to the required
cooling capacity.
The tilt of the swash plate allows the piston’s stroke to change so that refrigerant discharge can be continu-
ously changed from 6.0 to 125 cm3 (0.366 to 7.628 cu in).
RHA854HA
HA-152
DESCRIPTION MANUAL
Operation =NJHA0207S02
1. Operation Control Valve NJHA0207S0201
Operation control valve is located in the suction port (low-pressure) side, and opens or closes in response to GI
changes in refrigerant suction pressure.
Operation of the valve controls the internal pressure of the crankcase.
The angle of the swash plate is controlled between the crankcase’s internal pressure and the piston cylinder MA
pressure.
2. Maximum Cooling NJHA0207S0202 EM
Refrigerant pressure on the low-pressure side increases with an increase in heat loads.
When this occurs, the control valve’s bellows compress to open the low-pressure side valve and close the
high-pressure side valve. LC
This causes the following pressure changes:
I the crankcase’s internal pressure to equal the pressure on the low-pressure side;
I the cylinder’s internal pressure to be greater than the crankcase’s internal pressure. EC
Under this condition, the swash plate is set to the maximum stroke position.

DESCRIPTION MANUAL
3. Capacity Control =NJHA0207S0203
I Refrigerant pressure on suction side is low during high speed driving or when ambient or interior tempera-
ture is low.
I The bellows expands when refrigerant pressure on the suction pressure side drops below approximately
177 kPa (1.77 bar, 1.8 kg/cm2, 26 psi).
Since suction pressure is low, it makes the suction port close and the discharge port open. Thus, crank-
case pressure becomes high as high pressure enters the crankcase.
I The force acts around the journal pin near the swash plate, and is generated by the pressure difference
before and behind the piston.
The drive lug and journal pin are located where the piston generates the highest pressure. Piston pres-
sure is between suction pressure Ps and discharge pressure Pd, which is near suction pressure Ps. If
crankcase pressure Pc rises due to capacity control, the force around the journal pin makes the swash
plate angle decrease and also the piston stroke decrease. In other words, crankcase pressure increase
triggers pressure difference between the piston and the crankcase. The pressure difference changes the
angle of the swash plate.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSES FOR UNUSUAL PRESSURE NJHA0151

Whenever system’s high and/or low side pressure is abnormal, diagnose using a manifold gauge. The marker
above the gauge scale in the following tables indicates the standard (normal) pressure range. Since the stan-
dard (normal) pressure, however, differs from vehicle to vehicle, refer to HA-231 (“Ambient air temperature-
to-operating pressure table”).

CHECKING REFRIGERANT LEAKS =NJHA0168
Preliminary Check NJHA0168S01
Perform a visual inspection of all refrigeration parts, fittings, hoses,
and components for signs of A/C lubricant leakage, damage and
corrosion. Take note of the areas with A/C lubricant leakage to
allow extra time in these areas with electronic leak detector.
Precautions for Handling Leak Detector NJHA0168S02

When performing a refrigerant leak check, use an A/C leak detec-
tor or equivalent. Ensure that the instrument is calibrated and set
properly per the operating instructions.
The leak detector is a delicate device. In order to use the leak
detector properly, read the operating instructions and perform any
specified maintenance.
Other gases in the work area or substances on the A/C
components, for example, anti-freeze, windshield washer
fluid, solvents and lubricants, may falsely trigger the leak
detector. Make sure the surfaces to be checked are clean.
SHA705EB
Clean with a dry cloth or blow off with shop air. Do not allow
the sensor tip of the detector to contact with any substance.
This can also cause false readings and may damage the detec-
tor.
1. Position probe approximately 5 mm (3/16 in) away from point

to be checked.
SHA707EA
2. When testing, circle each fitting completely with probe.
SHA706E
HA-258
3. Move probe along component approximately 25 to 50 mm (1
to 2 in)/sec.
GI
MA
EM
SHA708EA LC
Checking Procedure NJHA0168S03
To prevent inaccurate or false readings, make sure there is no EC
refrigerant vapor, shop chemicals, or cigarette smoke in the
vicinity of the vehicle. Perform the leak test in calm area (low
air/wind movement) so that the leaking refrigerant is not dis- FE
persed.
1. Turn engine off.
2. Connect a suitable A/C manifold gauge set to the A/C service CL
ports.
3. Check if the A/C refrigerant pressure is at least 345.2 kPa (3.45
bar, 3.52 kg/cm2, 50.1 psi) above 16°C (61°F). If less than MT
specification, recover/evacuate and recharge the system with
the specified amount of refrigerant.
AT
NOTE:
At temperatures below 16°C (61°F), leaks may not be detected
since the system may not reach 345.2 kPa (3.45 bar, 3.52 kg/cm2, AX
50.1 psi).
4. Conduct the leak test from the high side (compressor dis-
charge a to evaporator inlet g) to the low side (evaporator drain SU
hose h to shaft seal k). Refer to HA-256. Perform a leak check
for the following areas carefully. Clean the component to be
checked and move the leak detector probe completely around BR
the connection/component.
I Compressor
Check the fitting of high and low pressure hoses, relief valve ST
and shaft seal.
I Liquid tank
Check the pressure switch, refrigerant pressure sensor, tube RS
fitting, weld seams and the fusible plug mount.
I Service valves BT
Check all around the service valves. Ensure service valve caps
are secured on the service valves (to prevent leaks).
NOTE:
After removing A/C manifold gauge set from service valves, wipe
any residue from valves to prevent any false readings by leak
detector. SC
I Cooling unit (Evaporator)
With engine OFF, turn blower fan on “High” for at least 15
seconds to dissipate any refrigerant trace in the cooling unit. EL
Wait a minimum of 10 minutes accumulation time (refer to the
manufacturer’s recommended procedure for actual wait time)
before inserting the leak detector probe into the drain hose. IDX
Keep the probe inserted for at least ten seconds. Use caution
not to contaminate the ptobe tip with water or dirt that may be
in the drain hose.
HA-259
5. If a leak detector detects a leak, verify at least once by blow-
ing compressed air into area of suspected leak, then repeat
check as outlined above.
6. Do not stop when one leak is found. Continue to check for
additional leaks at all system components.
If no leaks are found, perform steps 7 - 10.
7. Start engine.
8. Set the heater A/C control as follows:
1) A/C switch ON.
2) Face mode
3) Recirculation position
4) Max cold temperature
5) Fan speed high
9. Run engine at 1,500 rpm for at least 2 minutes.
10. Turn engine off and perform leak check again following steps
4 through 6 above.
Refrigerant leaks should be checked immediately after

stopping the engine. Begin with the leak detector at the
compressor. The pressure on the high pressure side will
gradually drop after refrigerant circulation stops and pres-
sure on the low pressure side will gradually rise, as shown
in the graph. Some leaks are more easily detected when
pressure is high.
SHA839E
11. Discharge A/C system using approved refrigerant recovery

equipment. Repair the leaking fitting or component as neces-
sary.
12. Evacuate and recharge A/C system and perform the leak test
to confirm no refrigerant leaks.
13. Conduct A/C performance test to ensure system works
properly.
Fluorescent Dye Leak Detector NJHA0229

PRECAUTIONS FOR FLUORESCENT DYE LEAK
DETECTION NJHA0229S01
I The fluorescent dye leak detector is not a replacement for an
electronic refrigerant leak detector. The fluorescent dye leak
detector should be used in conjunction with an electronic
refrigerant leak detector to pinpoint refrigerant leaks.

low all manufacturer’s operating instructions and precautions
prior to performing the work.
I Refer to “Precautions for Leak Detection Dye”, HA-139.
HA-260
Fluorescent Dye Leak Detector (Cont’d)
CHECKING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS USING THE
FLUORESCENT LEAK DETECTOR NJHA0229S02
1. Check A/C system for leaks using the UV lamp and safety GI
glasses (J-42220) in a low sunlight area (area without windows
preferable). Illuminate all components, fittings and lines. The
dye will appear as a bright green/yellow area at the point of MA
leakage. Fluorescent dye observed at the evaporator drain
opening indicates an evaporator core assembly (tubes, core or
TXV) leak. EM
2. If the suspected area is difficult to see, use an adjustable mir-
ror or wipe the area with a clean shop rag or cloth, then check
the cloth with the UV lamp for dye residue.
LC
3. Confirm any suspected leaks with an approved electronic
refrigerant leak detector. EC
4. After the leak is repaired, remove any residual dye using dye
cleaner (J-43872) to prevent future misdiagnosis.
5. Perform a system performance check and verify the leak repair FE
with an approved electronic refrigerant leak detector.
DYE INJECTION NJHA0229S03
CL
(This procedure is only necessary when re-charging the system or
when the compressor has seized and was replaced.)
Refer to “Precautions for Leak Detection Dye”, HA-139. MT
1. Check A/C system static (at rest) pressure. Pressure must be
at least 345 kPa (3.52 kg/cm2, 50 psi).
2. Pour one bottle (1/4 ounce / 7.4 cc) of the A/C refrigerant dye
AT
into the injector (J-41459).
3. Connect the injector tool to the A/C LOW PRESSURE side AX
service fitting.
4. Start engine and switch A/C ON.
5. With the A/C operating (compressor running), inject one bottle SU
(1/4 ounce / 7.4 cc) of fluorescent dye through the low-pres-
sure service valve using dye injector (J-41459) (refer to the
manufacturer’s operating instructions). BR
6. With the engine still running, disconnect the injector tool from
the service fitting.
ST
CAUTION:
Be careful not to allow dye to spray or drip when disconnect-
ing the injector from the system. RS
NOTE:
If repairing the A/C system or replacing a component, pour the
dye directly into the open system connection and proceed BT
with the service procedures.
7. Operate the A/C system for a minimum of 20 minutes to mix
the dye with the system oil. Depending on the leak size, oper-
ating conditions and location of the leak, it may take from min-
utes to days for the dye to penetrate a leak and become visible.
