PRECAUTIONS

PRECAUTIONS PFP:00001
A
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER” EJS004LO

The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along B
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front C
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
WARNING: D
● 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 must be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer. E
● 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 SRS section. F
● 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 and/or orange harnesses or
harness connectors.
G
Precautions for Working with HFC-134a (R-134a) EJS004LP

WARNING:
● CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant are not compatible. If the refrigerants H
are mixed compressor failure is likely to occur. Refer MTC-5, "Contaminated Refrigerant" . To
determine the purity of HFC-134a (R-134a) in the vehicle and recovery tank, use refrigerant recov-
ery/recycling equipment and refrigerant identifier. I
● Use only specified oil for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) components.
If oil other than that specified is used, compressor failure is likely to occur.
● The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) oil rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The following MTC
handling precautions must be observed:
– When removing refrigerant components from a vehicle, immediately cap (seal) the component to
minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere. K
– 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 possi-
ble to minimize the entry of moisture into system. L
– Only use the specified oil from a sealed container. Immediately reseal containers of oil. Without
proper sealing, oil will become moisture saturated and should not be used.
– Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and oil vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and throat. M
Remove HFC-134a (R-134a) from the A/C system using certified service equipment meeting
requirements of SAE J2210 [HFC-134a (R-134a) recycling equipment] or J2209 [HFC-134a (R-134a)
recycling equipment]. If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming
service. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and oil manu-
facturers.
– Do not allow refrigerant oil to come in contact with styrofoam parts. Damage may result.
Contaminated Refrigerant EJS004LQ

If a refrigerant other than pure HFC-134a (R-134a) is identified in a vehicle, your options are:
● Explain to the customer that environmental regulations prohibit the release of contaminated refrigerant
into the atmosphere.
● Explain that recovery of the contaminated refrigerant could damage your service equipment and refriger-
ant supply.
● Suggest the customer return the vehicle to the location of previous service where the contamination may
have occurred.
● If you choose to perform the repair, recover the refrigerant using only dedicated equipment and contain-
ers. Do not recover contaminated refrigerant into your existing service equipment. If your facility
Revision: March 2006 MTC-5 2007 Quest
PRECAUTIONS

does not have dedicated recovery equipment, you may contact a local refrigerant product retailer for avail-
able service. This refrigerant must be disposed of in accordance with all federal and local regulations. In
addition, replacement of all refrigerant system components on the vehicle is recommended.
● If the vehicle is within the warranty period, the air conditioner warranty is void. Please contact NISSAN
Customer Affairs for further assistance.
General Refrigerant Precautions EJS004LR

WARNING:
● Do not release refrigerant into the air. Use approved recovery/recycling equipment to capture the
refrigerant every time an air conditioning system is discharged.
● Always wear eye and hand protection (goggles and gloves) when working with any refrigerant or
air conditioning system.
● Do not store or heat refrigerant containers above 52°C (125°F).
● 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.
● Do not intentionally drop, puncture, or incinerate refrigerant containers.
● Keep refrigerant away from open flames: poisonous gas will be produced if refrigerant burns.
● Refrigerant will displace oxygen, therefore be certain to work in well ventilated areas to prevent
suffocation.
● 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 refriger-
ant manufacturers.
Precautions for Leak Detection Dye EJS004LS

● The A/C system contains a fluorescent leak detection dye used for locating refrigerant leaks. An ultraviolet
(UV) lamp is required to illuminate the dye when inspecting for leaks.
● Always wear fluorescence enhancing UV safety glasses to protect your eyes and enhance the visibility of
the fluorescent dye.
● The fluorescent dye leak detector is not a replacement for an electronic refrigerant leak detector. The fluo-
rescent dye leak detector should be used in conjunction with an electronic refrigerant leak detector (J-
41995).
● For your safety and the customer's satisfaction, read and follow all manufacturer's operating instructions
and precautions prior to performing work.
● 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 (J-41995).
● Always remove any dye from the leak area after repairs are complete to avoid a misdiagnosis during a
future service.
● 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 .
● Do not spray the fluorescent dye cleaning agent on hot surfaces (engine exhaust manifold, etc.).
● Do not use more than one refrigerant dye bottle (1/4 ounce / 7.4 cc) per A/C system.
● Leak detection dyes for HFC-134a (R134a) and CFC-12 (R-12) A/C systems are different. Do not use
HFC-134a (R134a) leak detection dye in CFC-12 (R-12) A/C systems or CFC-12 (R-12) leak detection
dye in HFC-134a (R134a) A/C systems or A/C system damage may result.
● The fluorescent properties of the dye will remain for over three (3) years unless a compressor failure
occurs.
A/C Identification Label EJS004LT

Vehicles with factory installed fluorescent dye have an identification label on the underside of hood.
Precautions for Refrigerant Connection EJS004LU

A new type refrigerant connection has been introduced to all refrigerant lines except the following locations.

Revision: March 2006 MTC-6 2007 Quest


PRECAUTIONS

● Expansion valve to cooling unit


● Evaporator pipes to evaporator (inside cooling unit) A
● Refrigerant pressure sensor
FEATURES OF NEW TYPE REFRIGERANT CONNECTION B
● The O-ring has been relocated. It has also been provided with a groove for proper installation. This
reduces the possibility 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. C
● The reaction force of the O-ring will not occur in the direction that causes the joint to pull out, thereby facil-
itating piping connections.

*: Always check with the Parts Department for the latest parts information.
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.
● 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 oil to enter the low pressure chamber.
● When connecting tubes, always use a torque wrench and a back-up wrench.
● After disconnecting tubes, immediately plug all openings to prevent entry of dirt and moisture.
● 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.
● 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.
● Thoroughly remove moisture from the refrigeration system before charging the refrigerant.
● Always replace used O-rings.
● When connecting tube, apply oil to circle of the O-rings shown in illustration. Be careful not to
apply oil to threaded portion.
● O-ring must be closely attached to dented portion of tube.
● When replacing the O-ring, be careful not to damage O-ring and tube.
● 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.
● 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 con-
nections of seal seat to the specified torque.

Precautions for Servicing Compressor EJS004LV H


● Plug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering.
● When the compressor is removed, store it in the same position as it is when mounted on the car.
● When replacing or repairing compressor, follow “Maintenance of Oil Quantity in Compressor” I
exactly. Refer to MTC-22, "Maintenance of Oil Quantity in Compressor" .
● Keep friction surfaces between clutch and pulley clean. If the surface is contaminated with oil,
wipe it off by using a clean waste cloth moistened with thinner. MTC
● After compressor service operation, turn the compressor shaft by hand more than 5 turns in both
directions. This will equally distribute oil inside the compressor. After the compressor is installed,
let the engine idle and operate the compressor for 1 hour. K
● After replacing the compressor magnet clutch, apply voltage to the new one and check for normal
operation. Refer to MTC-177, "Removal and Installation for Compressor Clutch"

Revision: March 2006 MTC-11 2007 Quest


PRECAUTIONS

VACUUM PUMP
The oil contained inside the vacuum pump is not compatible with the
specified oil for HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C systems. The vent side of
the vacuum pump is exposed to atmospheric pressure so the vac-
uum pump oil may migrate out of the pump into the service hose.
This is possible when the pump is switched off after evacuation (vac-
uuming) and hose is connected to it.
To prevent this migration, use a manual valve situated near the
hose-to-pump connection, as follows.
● Usually vacuum pumps have a manual isolator valve as part of
the pump. Close this valve to isolate the service hose from the
pump.
● For pumps without an isolator, use a hose equipped with a man-
ual shut-off valve near the pump end. Close the valve to isolate
the hose from the pump.
● 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

PRECAUTIONS

SERVICE COUPLERS
Never attempt to connect HFC-134a (R-134a) service couplers to a A
CFC-12 (R-12) A/C system. The HFC-134a (R-134a) couplers will
not properly connect to the CFC-12 (R-12) system. If an improper
connection is attempted, discharging and contamination may occur. B
Shut-off valve rotation A/C service valve

RHA273D
D

REFRIGERANT WEIGHT SCALE


Verify that no refrigerant other than HFC134a (R-134a) and specified E
oils have been used with the scale. If the scale controls refrigerant
flow electronically, the hose fitting must be 1/2”-16 ACME.

RHA274D H
CHARGING CYLINDER
Using a charging cylinder is not recommended. Refrigerant may be vented into air from cylinder's top valve
when filling the cylinder with refrigerant. Also, the accuracy of the cylinder is generally less than that of an I
electronic scale or of quality recycle/recharge equipment.

REFRIGERATION SYSTEM

REFRIGERATION SYSTEM PFP:KA990

Refrigerant Cycle EJS004M1

REFRIGERANT FLOW
The refrigerant flows in the standard pattern, that is, through the compressor, the condenser with liquid tank,
through the front and rear evaporators, and back to the compressor. The refrigerant evaporation through the
evaporator coils are controlled by a front and rear externally equalized expansion valves, located inside the
front and rear evaporator cases.
Refrigerant System Protection EJS004M2

REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR


The refrigerant system is protected against excessively high or low pressures by the refrigerant pressure sen-
sor, located on the condenser. If the system pressure rises above or falls below the specifications, the refriger-
ant pressure sensor detects the pressure inside the refrigerant line and sends a voltage signal to the ECM.
The ECM de-energizes the A/C relay to disengage the magnetic compressor clutch when pressure on the high
pressure side detected by refrigerant pressure sensor is over about 2,746 kPa (28 kg/cm 2 , 398 psi), or below
about 120 kPa (1.22 kg/cm2 , 17.4 psi).

Revision: March 2006 MTC-18 2007 Quest


REFRIGERATION SYSTEM

PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE


The refrigerant system is also protected by a pressure relief valve, located in the rear head of the compressor. A
When the pressure of refrigerant in the system increases to an abnormal level [more than 2,990 kPa (30.5 kg/
cm2 , 433.6 psi)], the release port on the pressure relief valve automatically opens and releases refrigerant
into the atmosphere. B

AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL

AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL PFP:27500


A
Description EJS004M5

The front air control provides regulation of the vehicle's interior temperature. The system is based on the posi-
tion of the front air controls temperature switch selected by the driver. This is done by utilizing a microcom- B
puter, also referred to as the front air control, which receives input signals from the following three sensors:
● Ambient sensor
● Intake sensor C
● PBR (position balanced resistor).
The front air control uses these signals (including the set position of the temperature switch) to control:
● Outlet air volume D
● Air temperature
● Air distribution
E
The front air control also provides separate regulation of the vehicle's interior temperature for the rear passen-
ger area. The system is based on the temperature and rear blower settings selected from rear air control
(front) control dials located in the overhead console, or from the rear temperature and blower settings from the
rear air control (rear) control dials, when the REAR CTRL switch is pressed (indicator light is on) on the rear F
air control (front).
The front air control is used to select:
● Outlet air volume G
● Air temperature/distribution
Operation EJS004M6
H
AIR MIX DOOR CONTROL
The air mix door is controlled so that in-vehicle temperature changed based on the position of the temperature
switch.
I
BLOWER SPEED CONTROL
Blower speed is controlled based on front and rear blower control dial settings.
When blower switch is turned, the blower motor starts and increases air flow volume each time the blower con- MTC
trol dial is turned clockwise, and decreases air flow volume each time the blower control dial switch is turned
counterclockwise.
K
INTAKE DOORS CONTROL
The intake doors are controlled by the recirculation switch setting, and the mode (recirculation is not allowed in
floor, floor/defrost or defrost modes) switch setting. L
MODE DOOR CONTROL
The mode door is controlled by the position of the mode switch.
M
DEFROSTER DOOR CONTROL
The defroster door is controlled by pressing the defroster mode switch.

Revision: March 2006 MTC-25 2007 Quest


AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL

MAGNET CLUTCH CONTROL

WJIA2161E

When the A/C switch is pressed, or the defroster mode switch is pressed, the front air control outputs a com-
pressor ON signal to BCM.
The BCM then sends a compressor ON signal to ECM and front air control, via CAN communication line.
ECM judges whether compressor can be turned ON, based on each sensor status (refrigerant pressure sen-
sor signal, throttle angle sensor, etc.). If it judges compressor can be turned ON, it sends compressor ON sig-
nal to IPDM E/R, via CAN communication line.
Upon receipt of compressor ON signal from ECM, IPDM E/R turns air conditioner relay ON to operate com-
pressor.
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
The self-diagnostic system is built into the front air control to quickly locate the cause of certain symptoms.
Refer to ATC-53, "A/C System Self-diagnosis Function" .

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Front Air Control
The front air control has a built-in microcomputer which processes information sent from various sensors
needed for air conditioner operation. The air mix door motors, mode door motor, intake door motors, defroster
door motor, blower motor and compressor are then controlled.
The front air control is unitized with control mechanisms. When the various switches and temperature dials are
operated, data is input to the front air control.
Self-diagnostic functions are also built into the front air control to provide quick check of malfunctions in the air
conditioner system.
Potentio Temperature Control (PTC)
The PTC is built into the front air control. It can be set from cold to
hot or any intermediate position by rotating the temperature dial.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Component Parts
Mode door control system components are: F
● Front air control
● Mode door motor
● PBR (built into mode door motor) G

System Operation
The mode door position (vent, B/L, foot, and defrost) is set by the front air control by means of the mode door H
motor. When a mode door position is selected on the front air control, voltage is applied to one circuit of the
mode door motor while ground is applied to the other circuit, causing the mode door motor to rotate. The direc-
tion of rotation is determined by which circuit has voltage applied to it, and which one has ground applied to it.
The front air control monitors the mode door position by measuring the voltage signal on the PBR circuit. I

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
MTC
Mode Door Motor
The mode door motor is attached to the heater & cooling unit assem-
bly. It rotates so that air is discharged from the outlet set by the front
air control Motor rotation is conveyed to a link which activates the K
mode door.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Component Parts
Air mix door control system components are:
● Front air control
● Air mix door motors (Front and rear)
● PBR (built-into air mix door motor)
System Operation
The front air control receives data based on the temperature selected by the driver and rear passenger. The
front air control then applies a voltage to one circuit of the appropriate air mix door motor, while ground is
applied to the other circuit, causing the appropriate air mix door motor to rotate. The direction of rotation is
determined by which circuit has voltage applied to it, and which one has ground applied to it. The front air con-
trol monitors the air mix door positions by measuring the voltage signal on the PBR circuits of each door.

Air Mix Door Control Specification

WJIA0435E

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Air Mix Door Motors
The air mix door motor (front) (1) is attached to the front heater &
cooling unit assembly. The rear air mix door motor is attached to the
rear heater & cooling unit. These motors rotate so that the air mix
door is opened or closed to a position set by the front (or rear) air
control. Motor rotation is then conveyed through a shaft and the air
mix door position is then fed back to the front air control by the PBR
built into the air mix door motors.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Component Parts
Intake door control system components are:
● Front air control
● Intake door motor (driver and passenger)
System Operation
The intake door control determines the intake door (driver and passenger) positions based on the position of
the recirculation switch. When the recirculation switch is depressed the intake door motors rotate closing off
the fresh air inlet and recirculating the cabin air. If the recirculation switch is depressed again, the intake door
motors rotate in the opposite direction, again allowing fresh air into the cabin.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Intake door motors
The driver and passenger intake door motors are attached to the
intake unit. They rotate so that air is drawn from inlets set by the front
air control. Motor rotation is conveyed to a lever which activates the
intake door.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Component Parts A
Defroster door control system components are:
● Front air control
B
● Defroster door motor
System Operation
The front air control determines defroster door position based on the position of the mode dial. When the C
mode dial is in the defroster position, the defroster door motor rotates directing air to the defroster ducts.
When any mode other than defroster is selected, the defroster motor rotates in the opposite direction closing
off air flow to the defroster ducts.
D

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Defroster door motor E
The defroster door motor is attached to the front heater & cooling
assembly unit. The front air control sends voltage to rotate the
defroster door directing the air flow either to the defroster ducts, or to F
the floor ducts, depending on which way the voltage and ground are
applied to the motor leads. Motor rotation is conveyed to a lever
which activates the defroster door.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The front air control controls compressor operation based on ambient and intake temperature and a signal A
from ECM.
Low Temperature Protection Control
B
The front air control will turn the compressor ON or OFF as determined by a signal detected by the intake sen-
sor and the ambient sensor.
When intake air temperature is higher than the preset value, the compressor turns ON. The compressor turns
OFF when intake air temperature is lower than the preset value. That preset value is dependent on the ambi- C
ent temperature. Refer to the following table.
Compressor ON Compressor OFF

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS

Ambient Sensor Circuit EJS004MX

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION A
Ambient Sensor
The ambient sensor is attached on the radiator core support (left
side). It detects ambient temperature and converts it into a resis- B
tance value which is then input into the front air control.

WJIA0338E
E
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE INPUT PROCESS
The front air control includes a processing circuit for the ambient sensor input. However, when the tempera-
ture detected by the ambient sensor increases quickly, the processing circuit retards the front air control func- F
tion. It only allows the front air control to recognize an ambient temperature increase of 0.33°C (0.6°F) per 100
seconds.
This prevents constant adjustments due to momentary conditions, such as stopping after high speed driving.
Although the actual ambient temperature has not changed, the temperature detected by the ambient sensor G
will increase. This is because the heat from the engine compartment can radiate to the front grille area, loca-
tion of the ambient sensor.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR AMBIENT SENSOR H
SYMPTOM: Ambient sensor circuit is open or shorted. Using the
CONSULT-II, DTC B257B or B257C is displayed. Without a CON-
SULT-II, code 40 or 41 is indicated on front air control as a result of I
conducting the front air control self-diagnosis.

Checking for Refrigerant Leaks EJS004NX

Perform a visual inspection of all refrigeration parts, fittings, hoses and components for signs of A/C oil leak-
age, damage, and corrosion. Any A/C oil leakage may indicate an area of refrigerant leakage. Allow extra
inspection time in these areas when using either an electronic refrigerant leak detector (J-41995) or fluores-
cent dye leak detector (J-42220).
If any dye is observed using a fluorescent dye leak detector (J-42220), confirm the leak using a electronic
refrigerant leak detector (J-41995). It is possible that the dye is from a prior leak that was repaired and not
properly cleaned.
When searching for leaks, do not stop when one leak is found but continue to check for additional leaks at all
system components and connections.
When searching for refrigerant leaks using an electronic refrigerant leak detector (J-41995), move the probe
along the suspected leak area at 25 - 50 mm (1 - 2 in) per second and no further than 6 mm (1/4 in) from the
component.
CAUTION:
Moving the electronic refrigerant leak detector probe slower and closer to the suspected leak area will
improve the chances of finding a leak.
Checking System for Leaks Using the Fluorescent Dye Leak Detector EJS004NY

1. Check the A/C system for leaks using the fluorescent dye leak detector and safety goggles (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 leakage. Fluorescent dye observed at the evapo-
rator drain opening indicates an evaporator core assembly leak (tubes, core or expansion valve).
2. If the suspected area is difficult to see, use an adjustable mirror or wipe the area with a clean shop rag or
cloth, then inspect the shop rag or cloth with the fluorescent dye leak detector (J-42220) for dye residue.
3. After the leak is repaired, remove any residual dye using refrigerant dye cleaner (J-43872) to prevent
future misdiagnosis.
4. Perform a system performance check and then verify the leak repair using a electronic refrigerant leak
detector (J-41995).
NOTE:
● Other gases in the work area or substances on the A/C components, for example, anti-freeze, wind-
shield washer fluid, solvents and oils, may falsely trigger the leak detector. Make sure the surfaces to
be checked are clean.
● Clean with a dry cloth or blow off with shop air.

● Do not allow the sensor tip of the electronic refrigerant leak detector (J-41995) to contact with any sub-
stance. This can also cause false readings and may damage the detector.
Dye Injection EJS004NZ

NOTE:
This procedure is only necessary when recharging the system or when the compressor has seized and must
be replaced.
1. Check the A/C system static (at rest) pressure. Pressure must be at least 345 kPa (3.52 kg/cm 2 , 50 psi).
2. Pour one bottle 7.4 cc (1/4 ounce) of the HFC-134a (R-134a) fluorescent leak detection dye (J-41447) into
the HFC-134a (R-134a) dye injector (J-41459).
CAUTION:
If repairing the A/C system or replacing a component, pour the HFC-134a (R-134a) fluorescent leak
detection dye (J-41447) directly into the open system connection and proceed with the service
procedures.
3. Connect the injector tool (J-41459) to the low-pressure service valve.
4. Start the engine and switch the A/C system ON.

Revision: March 2006 MTC-190 2007 Quest


REFRIGERANT LINES

5. When the A/C system is operating (compressor running), inject one bottle 7.4 cc (1/4 ounce) of HFC-134a
(R-134a) fluorescent leak detection dye (J-41447) through the low-pressure service valve using HFC- A
134a (R-134a) dye injector (J-41459). Refer to the manufacturer's operating instructions.
6. With the engine still running, disconnect the HFC-134a (R-134a) dye injector (J-41459) from the low-pres-
sure service valve. B
7. Operate the A/C system for a minimum of 20 minutes to mix the HFC-134a (R-134a) fluorescent leak
detection dye (J-41447) with the A/C system oil. Depending on the leak size, operating conditions and
location of the leak, it may take from minutes to days for the HFC-134a (R-134a) fluorescent leak detec-
C
tion dye to penetrate an A/C system leak and become visible.

CHECKING PROCEDURE
NOTE:
To prevent inaccurate or false readings, make sure there is no refrigerant vapor, shop chemicals, or cigarette
smoke in the vicinity of the vehicle. Perform the leak test in a calm area (low air/wind movement) so that the
leaking refrigerant is not dispersed.
1. Turn the engine OFF.
2. Connect the manifold gauge set (J-39183-C) to the A/C service ports. Refer to MTC-172, "SETTING OF
SERVICE TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT" .
3. Check if the A/C refrigerant pressure is at least 345 kPa (3.52 kg/cm2 , 50 psi) above a temperature of
16°C (61°F). If less than specification, recover/evacuate and recharge the system with the specified
amount of refrigerant. Refer to MTC-172, "HFC-134a (R-134a) Service Procedure" .
NOTE:
At temperatures below 16°C (61°F), leaks may not be detected since the system may not reach 345 kPa
(3.52 kg/cm2 , 50 psi) pressure.
4. Conduct the leak test from the high pressure side (compressor discharge to evaporator inlet) to the low
pressure side (evaporator drain hose to shaft seal). Refer to MTC-174, "Components" . Clean the compo-
nent to be checked and carefully move the electronic refrigerant leak detector probe completely around
the following connections and components.
● Compressor

● High and low-pressure pipe and hose fittings, relief valve, and compressor shaft seal

● Liquid tank

● Refrigerant pressure sensor

● Service valves. Check all around the service valves. Ensure service valve caps are secured on the ser-
vice valves (to prevent leaks).
NOTE:
After removing manifold gauge set (J-39183-C) from the service valves, wipe any residue from the ser-
vice valves to prevent any false readings by the electronic refrigerant leak detector (J-41995).
● Evaporator
With engine OFF, turn blower fan on “High” for at least 15 seconds to dissipate any refrigerant trace in
the heater and cooling unit assembly. Wait a minimum of 10 minutes accumulation time (refer to the
manufacturer's recommended procedure for actual wait time) before inserting the electronic refrigerant
leak detector probe into the heater and cooling unit assembly drain hose.
NOTE:
Keep the probe inserted for at least 10 seconds. Use caution not to contaminate the probe tip with
water or dirt that may be in the drain hose.
5. If a leak is detected, verify at least once by blowing compressed air into the area of the suspected leak,
then repeat the leak check.
6. Do not stop when one leak is found. Continue to check for additional leaks at all system components and
connections.
7. If no leaks are found, perform steps 8 - 11.
8. Start the engine.
9. Set the heater A/C controls as follows:

e. Blower fan speed: HIGH
C
10. Run the engine at 1,500 rpm for at least 2 minutes.
11. Turn the engine OFF and perform the leak check again following
steps 4 through 6 above. D
Refrigerant leaks should be checked immediately after turning
the engine OFF. Begin with the leak detector at the compressor.
The pressure on the high pressure side will gradually drop after E
the refrigerant circulation stops and pressure on the low pres-
sure side will gradually rise, as shown in the graph. Some leaks
are more easily detected when the pressure is high.

12. Before connecting the recovery/recycling equipment to the vehicle, check the recovery/recycling equip-
ment gauges. No refrigerant pressure should be displayed. If pressure is displayed, recover the refriger-
ant from the equipment lines and then check the refrigerant purity. H
13. Confirm refrigerant purity in supply tank using recovery/recycling equipment and refrigerant identifier
equipment (J-41810-NI).
14. Confirm the refrigerant purity in the vehicle's A/C system using recovery/recycling equipment and refriger- I
ant identifier equipment (J-41810-NI).
15. Discharge the A/C system using recovery/recycling equipment. Repair the leaking fitting or component as
necessary. MTC
16. Evacuate and recharge the A/C system and perform the leak test to confirm that there are no refrigerant
leaks.
17. Conduct the Operational Check to ensure system works properly. Refer to MTC-53, "Operational Check K
