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 S
Part number: KLH00-PAGS0
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 When replacing or repairing compressor, follow “Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compres- AT
sor” exactly. Refer to HA-110.
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. AX
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. SU

VACUUM PUMP NFHA0158S03
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.

REFRIGERATION CYCLE NFHA0162
GI
Refrigerant Flow NFHA0162S01
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 MA
is controlled by an externally equalized expansion valve, located inside the evaporator case.
Freeze Protection NFHA0162S02 EM
Under normal 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. LC
Refrigerant System Protection NFHA0162S03
Refrigerant Pressure Sensor NFHA0162S0301 EC
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 FE
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). CL
Pressure Relief Valve NFHA0162S0302
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 abnormal level [more than 3,727 kPa (37.3 MT
bar, 38 kg/cm2, 540 psi)], the release port on the pressure relief valve automatically opens and releases
refrigerant into the atmosphere.

DESCRIPTION =NFHA0164
General NFHA0164S01
The variable compressor is basically a swash plate type that changes piston stroke in response to the required GI
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). MA

Operation =NFHA0164S02
1. Operation Control Valve NFHA0164S0201
Operation control valve is located in the suction port (low-pressure) side, and opens or closes in response to
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
pressure.
2. Maximum Cooling NFHA0164S0202
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.
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.
Under this condition, the swash plate is set to the maximum stroke position.
RHA473C
HA-16
DESCRIPTION AUTO
V-6 Variable Displacement Compressor (Cont’d)
3. Capacity Control =NFHA0164S0203
I Refrigerant pressure on suction side is low during high speed driving or when ambient or interior tempera-
ture is low. GI
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- MA
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.
EM
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
LC
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 EC
angle of the swash plate.

IACV-AAC CONTROL SYSTEM =NFHA0165
Operation NFHA0165S02
When the air conditioner is OFF, the ECM detects the load applied to the engine, and controls the IACV-AAC
valve to adjust the engine idling speed to the appropriate rpm by supplying additional air from the IACV-AAC
valve.
When the air conditioner is ON (A/C relay is ON), refrigerant-pressure sensor converts refrigeration-pressure
on the high pressure side into the voltage value, which is output to ECM which protects refrigeration cycle and
control idle speed by the output voltage data, and additional air is supplied to the engine. If the appropriate
engine speed is not reached, the IACV-AAC valve supplies the additional air required to increase the engine
rpm.

AIR CONDITIONER LAN SYSTEM OVERVIEW CONTROL SYSTEM NFHA0167S01
The LAN system consists of auto amp., mode door motor, air mix door motor and intake door motor.
A configuration of these components is shown in the diagram below.
RHA439GB
Features NFHA0168
SYSTEM CONSTRUCTION (LAN) NFHA0168S01
A small network is constructed between the auto amplifier, mode door motor, air mix door motor and intake
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 three motors.
The following functions are contained in LCUs built into the mode door motor, air mix door motor and the intake
door motor.

I Motor opening angle signals
I Data transmission
I Motor stop and drive decision
I Opening angle sensor (PBR function)
I Comparison

RHA350H
Operation NFHA0168S0101
The auto amplifier receives data from each of the sensors. The amplifier sends mode door, air mix door and
intake door opening angle data to the mode door motor LCU, air mix door 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, FRESH/RECIRCULATION or DEFROST/VENT operation is selected. The new
selection data is returned to the auto amplifier.

Transmission Data and Transmission Order NFHA0168S0102
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 Abnormal 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.

Automatic Mode NFHA0197S03
In the automatic mode, the blower motor speed is calculated by the ST
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 RS
(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 BT
on this voltage, the fan control amplifier controls the voltage sup-
plied to the blower motor.
Starting Fan Speed Control NFHA0197S04
Start Up From “COLD SOAK” Condition (Automatic mode) NFHA0197S0401
In a cold start up condition where the engine coolant temperature SC
is below 50°C (122°F), the blower will not operate for a short period
of time (up to 126 seconds). The exact start delay time varies
depending on the ambient and engine coolant temperature. EL
In the most extreme case (very low ambient) the blower starting
delay will be 126 seconds as described above. After this delay, the
blower will operate at low speed until the engine coolant tempera- IDX
ture rises above 55°C (131°F), at which time the blower speed will
increase to the objective speed.
HA-69
TROUBLE DIAGNOSES AUTO
Blower Motor (Cont’d)
Start Up From Normal or “HOT SOAK” Condition (Automatic
mode) NFHA0197S0402
The blower will begin operation momentarily after the AUTO but-
ton is pushed. The blower speed will gradually rise to the objective
speed over a time period of 3 seconds or less (actual time depends
on the objective blower speed).
Blower Speed Compensation NFHA0197S05
Sunload NFHA0197S0501
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 “normal” low speed (approx. 6V). During
low or no sunload conditions, the low speed will drop to “low” low
speed (approx. 5V).
Ambient NFHA0197S0502
When the ambient temperature is in the “moderate” range [10 -
15°C (50 - 59°F)], the computed blower voltage will be compen-
sated (reduced) by up to 3.5V (depending on the blower speed).
In the “extreme” ambient ranges [below 0°C (32°F) and above 20°C
(68°F)] the computed objective blower voltage is not compensated
at all. In the ambient temperature ranges between “moderate” and
“extreme” [0 - 10°C (32 - 50°F) and 15 - 20°C (59 - 68°F)], the
amount of compensation (for a given blower speed) varies depend-
ing on the ambient temperature.

Ambient Sensor Circuit (Cont’d)
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE INPUT PROCESS NFHA0215
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.

detector properly, read the operating instructions and perform any
specified maintenance.
Other gases in the work area or substances on the A/C CL
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. MT

CAUTION:
When replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components, observe the following. MT
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. AT
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 AX
connection.
I Allow components stored in cool areas to warm to working area temperature before removing seal SU
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. BR
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 S ST
Part number: KLH00-PAGS0
I O-ring must be closely attached to dented portion of tube.
RS
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. BT
I After connecting line, conduct leak test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections.

VACUUM PUMP NFHA0065S03
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 System
Refrigeration System
REFRIGERATION CYCLE NFHA0069
Refrigerant Flow NFHA0069S01
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 NFHA0069S02
Under normal 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 NFHA0069S03
Refrigerant Pressure Sensor NFHA0069S0301
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).
Pressure Relief Valve NFHA0069S0302
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 abnormal 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.

V-6 Variable Displacement Compressor (Cont’d)
DESCRIPTION =NFHA0132
General NFHA0132S01
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-138
DESCRIPTION MANUAL
V-6 Variable Displacement Compressor (Cont’d)
Operation =NFHA0132S02
1. Operation Control Valve NFHA0132S0201
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 NFHA0132S0202 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
V-6 Variable Displacement Compressor (Cont’d)
3. Capacity Control =NFHA0132S0203
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.

IACV-AAC CONTROL SYSTEM =NFHA0133
Operation NFHA0133S02
When the air conditioner is OFF, the ECM detects the load applied to the engine, and controls the IACV-AAC GI
valve to adjust the engine idling speed to the appropriate rpm by supplying additional air from the IACV-AAC
valve.
When the air conditioner is ON (A/C relay is ON), refrigerant-pressure sensor converts refrigeration-pressure MA
on the high pressure side into the voltage value, which is output to ECM which protects refrigeration cycle and
control idle speed by the output voltage data, and additional air is supplied to the engine. If the appropriate
engine speed is not reached, the IACV-AAC valve supplies the additional air required to increase the engine

CHECKING REFRIGERANT LEAKS =NFHA0102
Preliminary Check NFHA0102S01
Perform a visual inspection of all refrigeration parts, fittings, hoses, GI
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. MA

Precautions for Handling Leak Detector NFHA0102S02
When performing a refrigerant leak check, use an A/C leak detec- EC
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 FE
detector properly, read the operating instructions and perform any
specified maintenance.
Other gases in the work area or substances on the A/C CL
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. MT
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- AT
tor.

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. GI
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. MA
7. Start engine.
8. Set the heater A/C control as follows:
EM
1) A/C switch ON.
2) Face mode
3) Recirculation switch ON LC
4) Max cold temperature
5) Fan speed high
EC
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. FE
CL
MT
Refrigerant leaks should be checked immediately after
stopping the engine. Begin with the leak detector at the AT
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 AX
in the graph. Some leaks are more easily detected when
pressure is high.
