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

BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER” NAHA0153
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
MA
collision. The SRS composition which is available to NISSAN MODEL R50 is as follows:
쐌 For a frontal collision EM
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), seat belt
pre-tensioners, a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring harness and spiral cable. LC
쐌 For a side collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of side air bag module (located in the outer side of front seat),
side curtain air bag module (locating in the headlining side of front and rear seat), satellite sensor, diag- EC
nosis 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).
WARNING: FE
쐌 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 performed
by an authorized NISSAN dealer. CL
쐌 Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. MT
쐌 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 harness connec-
tor (and by yellow harness protector or yellow insulation tape before the harness connectors). AT
Precautions for Working with HFC-134a
(R-134a) NAHA0154
TF
WARNING:
쐌 CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant are not compatible. If the refrigerants
are mixed and compressor failure is likely to occur, refer to “CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT” PD
below. To determine the purity of HFC-134a (R-134a) in the vehicle and recovery tank, use Refrig-
erant Recovery/Recycling Recharging equipment (ACR4) (J-39500-NI) and Refrigerant Identifier.
쐌 Use only specified lubricant for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) compo-
AX
nents. If lubricant other than that specified is used, compressor malfunction is likely to occur.
쐌 The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) lubricant rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The fol- SU
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. BR
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. ST
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.
RS
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 SAE J2210 HFC-134a (R-134a) recycling equipment, or J2209 HFC-134a BT
(R-134a) recovery equipment. If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before
resuming service. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and
lubricant manufacturers.
e) Do not allow lubricant (Nissan A/C System Oil Type S) to come in contact with styrofoam parts.
Damage may result.
CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT
SC
NAHA0154S01
If a refrigerant other than pure HFC-134a (R-134a) is identified in a vehicle, your options are:
쐌 Explain to the customer that environmental regulations prohibit the release of contaminated refrigerant into EL
the atmosphere.
쐌 Explain that recovery of the contaminated refrigerant could damage your service equipment and refriger-
ant supply. IDX
HA-3
PRECAUTIONS AUTO
Precautions for Working with HFC-134a (R-134a) (Cont’d)
쐌 Suggest the customer return the vehicle to the location of previous service where the contamination may
have occurred.
쐌 If you choose to perform the repair, recover the refrigerant using only dedicated equipment and con-
tainers. Do not recover contaminated refrigerant into your existing service equipment. If your facil-
ity does not have dedicated recovery equipment, you may contact a local refrigerant product retailer for
available 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.
쐌 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 NAHA0155
WARNING:
쐌 Do not release refrigerant into the air. Use approved recovery/recycling equipment to capture the
refrigerant every time an air conditioning system is discharged.
쐌 Always wear eye and hand protection (goggles and gloves) when working with any refrigerant or
air conditioning system.
쐌 Do not store or heat refrigerant containers above 52°C (125°F).
쐌 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.
쐌 Do not intentionally drop, puncture, or incinerate refrigerant containers.
쐌 Keep refrigerant away from open flames: poisonous gas will be produced if refrigerant burns.
쐌 Refrigerant will displace oxygen, therefore be certain to work in well ventilated areas to prevent
suffocation.
쐌 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 NAHA0247
쐌 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.
쐌 Always wear fluorescence enhancing UV safety glasses to protect your eyes and enhance the visibility of
the fluorescent dye.
쐌 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).
쐌 Always remove any dye from the leak area after repairs are complete to avoid a misdiagnosis during a
future service.
쐌 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.
쐌 Do not spray the fluorescent dye cleaning agent on hot surfaces (engine exhaust manifold, etc.).
쐌 Do not use more than one refrigerant dye bottle (1/4 ounce /7.4 cc) per A/C system.
쐌 Leak detection dyes for HFC-134a (R-134a) and CFC-12 (R-12) 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.
쐌 The fluorescent properties of the dye will remain for over three (3) years unless a compressor failure
occurs.

PRECAUTIONS AUTO
CAUTION: GI
When replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components, observe the following.
쐌 When the compressor is removed, store it in the same position as it is when mounted on the car.
Malfunction to do so will cause lubricant to enter the low pressure chamber. MA
쐌 When connecting tubes, always use a torque wrench and a back-up wrench.
쐌 After disconnecting tubes, immediately plug all openings to prevent entry of dirt and moisture.
EM
쐌 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. LC
쐌 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.
쐌 Thoroughly remove moisture from the refrigeration system before charging the refrigerant. EC
쐌 Always replace used O-rings.
쐌 When connecting tube, apply lubricant to circle of the O-rings shown in illustration. Be careful not
to apply lubricant to threaded portion. FE
Lubricant name: Nissan A/C System Oil Type S
Part number: KLH00-PAGS0
CL
쐌 O-ring must be closely attached to dented portion of tube.
쐌 When replacing the O-ring, be careful not to damage O-ring and tube.
쐌 Connect tube until you hear it click, then tighten the nut or bolt by hand until snug. Make sure that MT
the O-ring is installed to tube correctly.
쐌 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 AT
connections of seal seat to the specified torque.

Precautions for Servicing Compressor NAHA0157
쐌 Plug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering.
쐌 When replacing or repairing compressor, follow “Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compres-
sor” exactly. Refer to HA-172. SC
쐌 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.
쐌 After compressor service operation, turn the compressor shaft by hand more than five turns in EL
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.
쐌 After replacing the compressor magnet clutch, apply voltage to the new one and check for usual IDX
operation.

RECOVERY/RECYCLING EQUIPMENT NAHA0158S01
Be certain to follow the manufacturers instructions for machine
operation and machine maintenance. Never introduce any refriger-
ant other than that specified into the machine.
ELECTRONIC LEAK DETECTOR NAHA0158S02
Be certain to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for tester opera-
tion and tester maintenance.
VACUUM PUMP NAHA0158S03

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.
쐌 Usually vacuum pumps have a manual isolator valve as part
of the pump. Close this valve to isolate the service hose from
the pump.
쐌 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.
쐌 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.

Separate and non-interchangeable service equipment must be used for handling each type of refrigerant/
lubricant.
Refrigerant container fittings, service hose fittings and service equipment fittings (equipment which handles
refrigerant and/or lubricant) are different between CFC-12 (R-12) and HFC-134a (R-134a). This is to avoid
mixed use of the refrigerants/lubricant.

DESCRIPTION AUTO
Refrigeration System
REFRIGERATION CYCLE NAHA0162
Refrigerant Flow NAHA0162S01
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 evaporator case.
Freeze Protection NAHA0162S02
Under usual operating conditions, when the a/c is switched on, the compressor runs continuously, and the
evaporator pressure, and therefore temperature, is controlled by the V-6 variable displacement compressor to
prevent freeze up.
Refrigerant System Protection NAHA0162S03
Refrigerant Pressure Sensor NAHA0162S0301
The refrigerant system is protected against excessively high or low pressures by the refrigerant pressure
sensor, located on the condenser. 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 (28 kg/cm2, 398 psi) or below about 177 kPa
(1.8 kg/cm2, 26 psi).
Pressure Relief Valve NAHA0162S0302
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 (38
kg/cm2, 540 psi)], the release port on the pressure relief valve automatically opens and releases refrigerant
into the atmosphere.

DESCRIPTION AUTO
V-6 Variable Displacement Compressor
V-6 Variable Displacement Compressor GI

GENERAL INFORMATION =NAHA0163
1. The V-6 variable compressor differs from previous units. The vent temperatures of the V-6 variable com-
press do not drop too far below 5°C (41°F) when:
MA
쐌 evaporator intake air temperature is less than 20°C (68°F)
쐌 engine is running at speeds less than 1,500 rpm. EM
This is because the V-6 compressor provides a means of “capacity” control.
2. The V-6 variable compressor provides refrigerant control under varying conditions. During cold winters, it
may not produce high refrigerant pressure discharge (compared to previous units) when used with air LC
conditioning systems.
3. A “clanking” sound may occasionally be heard during refrigerant charge. The sound indicates that the tilt EC
angle of the swash plate has changed and is not a problem.
4. For air conditioning systems with the V-6 compressor, the clutch remains engaged unless: the system main
switch, fan switch or ignition switch is turned OFF. When ambient (outside) temperatures are low or when FE
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
normally ranges from 147 to 177 kPa (1.5 to 1.8 kg/cm2, 21 to 26 psi) under varying conditions. CL
In previous compressors, however, suction pressure was reduced with increases in engine speed.

DESCRIPTION =NAHA0164
General NAHA0164S01
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 14.5 to 184 cm3 (0.885 to 11.228 cu in).
RHA037DD
HA-18
DESCRIPTION AUTO
Operation =NAHA0164S02
GI
1. Operation Control Valve NAHA0164S0201
Operation control valve is located in the suction port (low-pressure) side, and opens or closes in response to
changes in refrigerant suction pressure. MA
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
pressure. EM
2. Maximum Cooling NAHA0164S0202
Refrigerant pressure on the low-pressure side increases with an increase in heat loads. LC
When this occurs, the control valve’s bellows compress to open the low-pressure side valve and close the
high-pressure side valve.
This causes the following pressure changes: EC
쐌 the crankcase’s internal pressure to equal the pressure on the low-pressure side;
쐌 the cylinder’s internal pressure to be greater than the crankcase’s internal pressure.
Under this condition, the swash plate is set to the maximum stroke position. FE

DESCRIPTION AUTO
3. Capacity Control =NAHA0164S0203
쐌 Refrigerant pressure on suction side is low during high speed driving or when ambient or interior tempera-
ture is low.
쐌 The bellows expands when refrigerant pressure on the suction pressure side drops below approximately
177 kPa (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.
쐌 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.

The LAN system consists of auto amp., mode door motor and air mix door motor.
A configuration of these components is shown in the diagram below.

Features NAHA0168
CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION NAHA0168S10
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many
electronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with
other control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with
2 communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wir-
ing. Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
SYSTEM CONSTRUCTION (LAN) NAHA0168S01
A small network is constructed between the auto amplifier, mode door motor and air mix door motor. The auto
amplifier and motors are connected by data transmission lines and motor power supply lines. The LAN net-
work is built through the ground circuits of the two 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 and the air mix door motor.
쐌 Address
쐌 Motor opening angle signals
쐌 Data transmission
쐌 Motor stop and drive decision
쐌 Opening angle sensor (PBR function)
쐌 Comparison

RHA440GA
Operation NAHA0168S0101
The auto amplifier receives data from each of the sensors. The amplifier sends mode door and air mix door
opening angle data to the mode door motor LCU and air mix door motor LCU.
The mode door motor and air mix door motor read their respective signals according to the address signal.
HA-22
DESCRIPTION AUTO
Features (Cont’d)
Opening angle indication signals received from the auto amplifier and each of the motor position sensors are GI
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 NAHA0168S0102
Amplifier data is transmitted consecutively to each of the door motors following the form shown in figure below.
Start: Initial compulsory signal sent to each of the door motors. CL
Address: Data sent from the auto amplifier is selected according to data-based decisions made by the mode
door motor and air mix door motor.
If the addresses are identical, the opening angle data and error check signals are received by the door motor MT
LCUs. The LCUs then make the appropriate error decision. If the opening angle data is usual, door control
begins.
If an error exists, the received data is rejected and corrected data received. Finally, door control is based upon AT
the corrected opening angle data.
Opening angle: Data that shows the indicated door opening angle of each door motor.
Error check: Procedure by which sent and received data is checked for errors. Error data is then compiled. TF
The error check prevents corrupted data from being used by the mode door motor and air mix door motor.
Error data can be related to the following problems.
쐌 Unusual electrical frequency
PD
쐌 Poor electrical connections
쐌 Signal leakage from transmission lines AX
쐌 Signal level fluctuation
Stop signal: At the end of each transmission, a stop operation, in-operation, or internal problem message is
delivered to the auto amplifier. This completes one data transmission and control cycle. SU

Automatic Mode NAHA0197S03 SU

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
voltage ranges from approximately 5 volts (lowest speed) to 12 volts (highest speed). BR
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
motor. ST
Starting Fan Speed Control NAHA0197S04
Start Up From “COLD SOAK” Condition (Automatic mode) NAHA0197S0401
RS
In a cold start up condition where the engine coolant temperature is below 55°C (131°F), the blower will not
operate for a short period of time (up to 150 seconds). The exact start delay time varies depending on the
ambient and engine coolant temperature. BT
In the most extreme case (very low ambient) the blower starting delay will be 150 seconds as described above.
After this delay, the blower will operate at low speed until the engine coolant temperature rises above 55°C
(131°F), at which time the blower speed will increase to the objective speed.
Start Up From Normal or “HOT SOAK” Condition (Automatic mode) NAHA0197S0402
The blower will begin operation momentarily after the AUTO button is pushed. The blower speed will gradu- SC
ally rise to the objective speed over a time period of 3 seconds or less (actual time depends on the objective
blower speed).

HA-117
Blower Speed Compensation NAHA0197S05
Sunload NAHA0197S0501
When the in-vehicle temperature and the set temperature 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 “usual” low speed (approx. 6V). During low or no sunload conditions, the low speed will drop to “low”
low speed (approx. 5V).

Ambient Sensor Circuit
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION NAHA0214 BR
The ambient sensor is located on the hood lock stay. It detects
ambient temperature and converts it into a resistance value which
is then input into the auto amplifier. ST
RS
RHA050G BT
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE INPUT PROCESS NAHA0215
The automatic amplifier includes a “processing circuit” for the ambi-
ent sensor input. However, when the temperature detected by the
ambient sensor increases quickly, the processing circuit retards the
auto amp. function. It only allows the auto amp. to recognize an SC
ambient temperature increase of 0.33°C (0.6°F) per 100 seconds.
As an example, consider stopping for a cup of coffee after high
speed driving. Although the actual ambient temperature has not EL
changed, the temperature detected by the ambient sensor will
increase. This is because the heat from the engine compartment
can radiate to the front grille area, location of the ambient sensor. IDX

Sunload Sensor Circuit

The sunload sensor is located on the right defroster grille. It detects
sunload entering through windshield by means of a photo diode.
The sensor converts the sunload into a current value which is then
input into the auto amplifier.
RHA639F
SUNLOAD INPUT PROCESS NAHA0222

The auto amp. also includes a processing circuit which “average”
the variations in detected sunload over a period of time. This pre-
vents drastic swings in the A/C system operation due to small or
quick variations in detected sunload.
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-
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 A/C
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.

SYMPTOM: Sunload sensor circuit is open or shorted. ( or

diagnosis STEP 2.)

Checking for Refrigerant Leaks
Checking for Refrigerant Leaks =NAHA0236

PRELIMINARY CHECK NAHA0236S04
쐌 Perform a visual inspection of all refrigeration parts, fittings,
hoses and components for signs of A/C lubricant leakage,
damage and corrosion. A/C lubricant leakage may indicate an
area of refrigerant leakage. Allow extra inspection time in these
areas when using either an electronic refrigerant leak detector
or fluorescent dye leak detector.
쐌 If dye is observed, confirm the leak with an electronic refriger-
ant leak detector. It is possible a prior leak was repaired and
not properly cleaned.
쐌 When searching for leaks, do not stop when one leak is found
but continue to check for additional leaks at all system compo-
nents and connections.
쐌 When searching for refrigerant leaks using an electronic leak
detector, move the probe along the suspected leak area at 25
to 50 mm (1 to 2 in) per second and no further than 1/4 inch
from the component.
NOTE:
Moving the electronic leak detector probe slower and closer to
the suspected leak area will improve the chances of finding a
leak.
Electronic Refrigerant Leak Detector NAHA0250

PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING LEAK DETECTORNAHA0250S01
When performing a refrigerant leak check, use a J-41995 A/C leak
detector 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.
쐌 Other gases in the work area or substances on the A/C
components, for example, anti-freeze, windshield washer
SHA196FA fluid, solvents and lubricants, 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.
쐌 Do not allow the sensor tip of the detector to contact with
any substance. This can also cause false readings and
may damage the detector.
1. Position probe approximately 5 mm (3/16 in) away from point

to be checked.

CHECKING PROCEDURE NAHA0250S02
To prevent inaccurate or false readings, make sure there is no
refrigerant vapor, shop chemicals, or cigarette smoke in the TF
vicinity of the vehicle. Perform the leak test in calm area (low
air/wind movement) so that the leaking refrigerant is not dis-
persed. PD
1. Turn engine off.
2. Connect a suitable A/C manifold gauge set to the A/C service
ports.
AX
3. Check if the A/C refrigerant pressure is at least 345 kPa (3.52
kg/cm2, 50 psi) above 16°C (61°F). If less than specification, SU
recover/evacuate and recharge the system with the specified
amount of refrigerant.
NOTE: BR
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).
4. Conduct the leak test from the high side (compressor dis- ST
charge a to evaporator inlet f) to the low side (evaporator drain
hose g to shaft seal k). Refer to HA-179. Perform a leak check
for the following areas carefully. Clean the component to be RS
checked and move the leak detector probe completely around
the connection/component.
BT
쐌 Compressor
Check the fitting of high and low pressure hoses, relief valve
and shaft seal.
쐌 Liquid tank
Check the tube fitting.
쐌 Service valves SC
Check all around the service valves. Ensure service valve caps
are secured on the service valves (to prevent leaks).
NOTE: EL
After removing A/C manifold gauge set from service valves, wipe
any residue from valves to prevent any false readings by leak
detector. IDX
HA-181
쐌 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.
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.
Keep the probe inserted for at least ten seconds. Use caution
not to contaminate the probe tip with water or dirt that may be
in the drain hose.
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 switch ON
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.

are mixed and compressor malfunction is likely to occur, refer to “CONTAMINATED REFRIGER- PD
ANT” below. To determine the purity of HFC-134a (R-134a) in the vehicle and recovery tank, use
Refrigerant Recovery/Recycling Recharging equipment (ACR4) (J-39500-NI) and Refrigerant Iden-
tifier. AX
쐌 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.
SU
쐌 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 BR
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- ST
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. RS
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- BT
ing requirements of SAE J2210 HFC-134a (R-134a) recycling equipment, or J2209 HFC-134a
(R-134a) recovery equipment. If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before
resuming service. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and
lubricant manufacturers.
e) Do not allow lubricant (Nissan A/C System Oil Type S) to come in contact with styrofoam parts.
Damage may result. SC
CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT NAHA0061S01
If a refrigerant other than pure HFC-134a (R-134a) is identified in a vehicle, your options are: EL
쐌 Explain to the customer that environmental regulations prohibit the release of contaminated refrigerant into
the atmosphere.
쐌 Explain that recovery of the contaminated refrigerant could damage your service equipment and refriger- IDX
ant supply.
HA-187
PRECAUTIONS MANUAL
Precautions for Working with HFC-134a (R-134a) (Cont’d)
쐌 Suggest the customer return the vehicle to the location of previous service where the contamination may
have occurred.
쐌 If you choose to perform the repair, recover the refrigerant using only dedicated equipment and con-
tainers. Do not recover contaminated refrigerant into your existing service equipment. If your facil-
ity does not have dedicated recovery equipment, you may contact a local refrigerant product retailer for
available 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.
쐌 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 NAHA0062
WARNING:
쐌 Do not release refrigerant into the air. Use approved recovery/recycling equipment to capture the
refrigerant every time an air conditioning system is discharged.
쐌 Always wear eye and hand protection (goggles and gloves) when working with any refrigerant or
air conditioning system.
쐌 Do not store or heat refrigerant containers above 52°C (125°F).
쐌 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.
쐌 Do not intentionally drop, puncture, or incinerate refrigerant containers.
쐌 Keep refrigerant away from open flames: poisonous gas will be produced if refrigerant burns.
쐌 Refrigerant will displace oxygen, therefore be certain to work in well ventilated areas to prevent
suffocation.
쐌 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 NAHA0251
쐌 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.
쐌 Always wear fluorescence enhancing UV safety glasses to protect your eyes and enhance the visibility of
the fluorescent dye.
쐌 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).
쐌 Always remove any dye from the leak area after repairs are complete to avoid a misdiagnosis during a
future service.
쐌 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.
쐌 Do not spray the fluorescent dye cleaning agent on hot surfaces (engine exhaust manifold, etc.).
쐌 Do not use more than one refrigerant dye bottle (1/4 ounce / 7.4 cc) per A/C system.
쐌 Leak detection dyes for HFC-134a (R-134a) and CFC-12 (R-12) 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.
쐌 The fluorescent properties of the dye will remain for over three (3) years unless a compressor malfunction
occurs.

CAUTION: GI
When replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components, observe the following.
Failure to do so will cause lubricant to enter the low pressure chamber. MA
쐌 When connecting tubes, always use a torque wrench and a back-up wrench.
쐌 After disconnecting tubes, immediately plug all openings to prevent entry of dirt and moisture.
EM
쐌 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

that specified into the machine.
ELECTRONIC LEAK DETECTOR NAHA0065S02
Follow the manufacture’s instructions for tester operation and

VACUUM PUMP NAHA0065S03

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 situated near the
hose-to-pump connection, as follows.
쐌 Usually vacuum pumps have a manual isolator valve as part
of the pump. Close this valve to isolate the service hose from
the pump.
쐌 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.
쐌 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.

DESCRIPTION MANUAL
REFRIGERATION CYCLE NAHA0069
Refrigerant Flow NAHA0069S01
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 evaporator case.
Freeze Protection NAHA0069S02
Under usual operating conditions, when the A/C is switched on, the compressor runs continuously, and the
evaporator pressure, and therefore temperature, is controlled by the V-6 variable displacement compressor to
prevent freeze up.
Refrigerant System Protection NAHA0069S03
The refrigerant system is protected against excessively high or low pressures by the refrigerant pressure
sensor, located on the condenser. 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 (28 kg/cm2, 398 psi) or below about 177 kPa
(1.8 kg/cm2, 26 psi).
Pressure Relief Valve NAHA0069S0302
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 (38
kg/cm2, 540 psi)], the release port on the pressure relief valve automatically opens and releases refrigerant
into the atmosphere.

DESCRIPTION MANUAL
V-6 Variable Displacement Compressor
V-6 Variable Displacement Compressor GI

GENERAL INFORMATION =NAHA0070
1. The V-6 variable compressor differs from previous units. The vent temperatures of the V-6 variable com-
press do not drop too far below 5°C (41°F) when:
MA
쐌 evaporator intake air temperature is less than 20°C (68°F)
쐌 engine is running at speeds less than 1,500 rpm. EM
This is because the V-6 compressor provides a means of “capacity” control.
2. The V-6 variable compressor provides refrigerant control under varying conditions. During cold winters, it
may not produce high refrigerant pressure discharge (compared to previous units) when used with air LC
conditioning systems.
3. A “clanking” sound may occasionally be heard during refrigerant charge. The sound indicates that the tilt EC
angle of the swash plate has changed and is not a problem.
4. For air conditioning systems with the V-6 compressor, the clutch remains engaged unless: the system main
switch, fan switch or ignition switch is turned OFF. When ambient (outside) temperatures are low or when FE
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
normally ranges from 147 to 177 kPa (1.5 to 1.8 kg/cm2, 21 to 26 psi) under varying conditions. CL
In previous compressors, however, suction pressure was reduced with increases in engine speed.

DESCRIPTION =NAHA0132
General NAHA0132S01
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 14.5 to 184 cm3 (0.885 to 11.228 cu in).
RHA037DB
HA-202
DESCRIPTION MANUAL
Operation =NAHA0132S02
GI
1. Operation Control Valve NAHA0132S0201
Operation control valve is located in the suction port (low-pressure) side, and opens or closes in response to
changes in refrigerant suction pressure. MA
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
pressure. EM
2. Maximum Cooling NAHA0132S0202
Refrigerant pressure on the low-pressure side increases with an increase in heat loads. LC
When this occurs, the control valve’s bellows compress to open the low-pressure side valve and close the
high-pressure side valve.
This causes the following pressure changes: EC
쐌 the crankcase’s internal pressure to equal the pressure on the low-pressure side;
쐌 the cylinder’s internal pressure to be greater than the crankcase’s internal pressure.
Under this condition, the swash plate is set to the maximum stroke position. FE

DESCRIPTION MANUAL
3. Capacity Control =NAHA0132S0203
쐌 Refrigerant pressure on suction side is low during high speed driving or when ambient or interior tempera-
ture is low.
쐌 The bellows expands when refrigerant pressure on the suction pressure side drops below approximately
177 kPa (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.
쐌 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.

Intake Door (Cont’d)
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION NAHA0136
Intake Door Motor NAHA0136S01
The intake door motor is installed on the intake unit. Using a link it
opens and closes the intake door.
When RECIRCULATION switch is at REC (except DEF and D/F
modes), the ground line of the motor is switched from intake door
motor terminal 3 to 2. This starts the motor because the position
switch contacts built into it make current flow. When RECIRCULA-
TION switch is at FRE (except DEF and D/F modes), the ground
line is switched from intake door motor terminal 2 to 3. The con-
tacts turn along with the motor. When they reach the non-current
flow position, the motor will stop. The motor always turns in the
same direction.
RECIRCULATION switch is canceled by MODE switch in DEF and
D/F modes.

Whenever system’s high and/or low side pressure is unusual, diagnose using a manifold gauge. The marker
above the gauge scale in the following tables indicates the standard (usual) pressure range. Since the stan-
dard (usual) pressure, however, differs from vehicle to vehicle, refer to HA-236 (“Ambient air temperature-to-

PRELIMINARY CHECK NAHA0102S04
쐌 Perform a visual inspection of all refrigeration parts, fittings,
hoses and components for signs of A/C lubricant leakage,
MA
damage and corrosion. A/C lubricant leakage may indicate an
area of refrigerant leakage. Allow extra inspection time in these EM
areas when using either an electronic refrigerant leak detector
or fluorescent dye leak detector.
쐌 If dye is observed, confirm the leak with an electronic refriger- LC
ant leak detector. It is possible a prior leak was repaired and
not properly cleaned.
쐌 When searching for leaks, do not stop when one leak is found EC
but continue to check for additional leaks at all system compo-
nents and connections.
쐌 When searching for refrigerant leaks using an electronic leak FE
detector, move the probe along the suspected leak area at 25
to 50 mm (1 to 2 in) per second and no further than 1/4 inch
from the component. CL
NOTE:
Moving the electronic leak detector probe slower and closer to MT
the suspected leak area will improve the chances of finding a
leak.
AT
Electronic Refrigerant Leak Detector NAHA0254
PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING LEAK DETECTORNAHA0254S01
When performing a refrigerant leak check, use a J-41995 A/C leak
TF
detector 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
PD
detector properly, read the operating instructions and perform any
specified maintenance. AX
쐌 Other gases in the work area or substances on the A/C
components, for example, anti-freeze, windshield washer
SHA196FA fluid, solvents and lubricants, may falsely trigger the leak SU
detector. Make sure the surfaces to be checked are clean.
Clean with a dry cloth or blow off with shop air.
쐌 Do not allow the sensor tip of the detector to contact with BR
any substance. This can also cause false readings and
may damage the detector.

SHA708EA
CHECKING PROCEDURE NAHA0254S02

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 calm area (low
air/wind movement) so that the leaking refrigerant is not dis-
persed.
1. Turn engine off.
2. Connect a suitable A/C manifold gauge set to the A/C service
ports.
3. Check if the A/C refrigerant pressure is at least 345 kPa (3.52
kg/cm2, 50 psi) above 16°C (61°F). If less than specification,
recover/evacuate and recharge the system with the specified
amount of refrigerant.
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).
4. Conduct the leak test from the high side (compressor dis-
charge a to evaporator inlet f) to the low side (evaporator drain
hose g to shaft seal k). Refer to HA-262. Perform a leak check
for the following areas carefully. Clean the component to be
checked and move the leak detector probe completely around
the connection/component.
쐌 Compressor
Check the fitting of high and low pressure hoses, relief valve
and shaft seal.
쐌 Liquid tank
Check the tube fitting.
쐌 Service valves
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.
HA-264
쐌 Cooling unit (Evaporator) GI
With engine OFF, turn blower fan on “High” for at least 15
seconds to dissipate any refrigerant trace in the cooling unit.
Wait a minimum of 10 minutes accumulation time (refer to the MA
manufacturer’s recommended procedure for actual wait time)
before inserting the leak detector probe into the drain hose.
Keep the probe inserted for at least ten seconds. Use caution EM
not to contaminate the ptobe tip with water or dirt that may be
in the drain hose.
5. If a leak detector detects a leak, verify at least once by blow- LC
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 EC
additional leaks at all system components.
If no leaks are found, perform steps 7 - 10.
FE
7. Start engine.
8. Set the heater A/C control as follows:
1) A/C switch ON. CL
2) Face mode
3) Recirculation switch ON
4) Max cold temperature
MT
5) Fan speed high
9. Run engine at 1,500 rpm for at least 2 minutes. AT
10. Turn engine off and perform leak check again following steps
4 through 6 above.
TF

SU
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 BR
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 ST
pressure is high.

refrigerant pressure should be displayed. If pressure is
displayed, recover refrigerant from equipment lines and then
check refrigerant purity.
12. Confirm refrigerant purity in supply tank using ACR4 and refrig- SC
erant identifier.

15. Evacuate and recharge A/C system and perform the leak test
to confirm no refrigerant leaks.
16. Conduct A/C performance test to ensure system works
properly.
Fluorescent Dye Leak Detector

PRECAUTIONS FOR FLUORESCENT DYE LEAK
DETECTION NAHA0266
쐌 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 (J-41995) to pinpoint refrigerant leaks.
쐌 For your safety and your customer’s satisfaction, read and fol-
low all manufacturer’s operating instructions and precautions
prior to performing the work.
쐌 Refer to “Precautions for Leak Detection Dye”, HA-188.
CHECKING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS USING THE
FLUORESCENT LEAK DETECTOR NAHA0267
1. Check A/C system for leaks using the UV lamp and safety
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
leakage. Fluorescent dye observed at the evaporator drain
opening indicates an evaporator core assembly (tubes, core or
TXV) leak.
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.
3. Confirm any suspected leaks with an approved electronic
refrigerant leak detector.
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
with an approved electronic refrigerant leak detector.
DYE INJECTION NAHA0268
(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-188.
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
into the injector tool (J-41459).
3. Connect the injector tool to the A/C LOW PRESSURE side
service fitting.
4. Start engine and switch A/C ON.
5. With the A/C operating (compressor running), inject one bottle
(1/4 ounce / 7.4 cc) of fluorescent dye through the low-pres-
sure service valve using dye injector tool J-41459 (refer to the
manufacturer’s operating instructions).
HA-266
Fluorescent Dye Leak Detector (Cont’d)
6. With the engine still running, disconnect the injector tool from GI
the service fitting.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to allow dye to spray or drip when disconnect- MA
ing the injector from the system.
NOTE:
If repairing the A/C system or replacing a component, pour the EM
dye directly into the open system connection and proceed
with the service procedures.
LC
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- EC
utes to days for the dye to penetrate a leak and become visible.
