PRECAUTION
PRECAUTIONS
FOR USA AND CANADA
FOR USA AND CANADA : Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR
BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000005517090

The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
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
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 AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT” of this
Service Manual.
WARNING:
• 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/INFINITI dealer.
• Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the “SRS AIR BAG”.
• 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 har-
ness connectors.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
WARNING:
• When working near the Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Air Bag System sensors with the
ignition ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electric power tools or strike near the sensor(s)
with a hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor(s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly
causing serious injury.
• When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always switch the ignition OFF, disconnect the
battery, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service.

Precautions For Xenon Headlamp Service INFOID:0000000005517094

O
WARNING:
Comply with the following warnings to prevent any serious accident.
• Disconnect the battery cable (negative terminal) or the power supply fuse before installing, remov- P
ing, or touching the xenon headlamp (bulb included). The xenon headlamp contains high-voltage
generated parts.
• Never work with wet hands.
• Check the xenon headlamp ON-OFF status after assembling it to the vehicle. Never turn the xenon
headlamp ON in other conditions. Connect the power supply to the vehicle-side connector.
(Turning it ON outside the lamp case may cause fire or visual impairments.)
• Never touch the bulb glass immediately after turning it OFF. It is extremely hot.
CAUTION:

Revision: 2009 September VTL-9 2010 Murano


PRECAUTIONS
< PRECAUTION > [WITHOUT 7 INCH DISPLAY]
Comply with the following cautions to prevent any error and malfunction.
• Install the xenon bulb securely. (Insufficient bulb socket installation may melt the bulb, the connec-
tor, the housing, etc. by high-voltage leakage or corona discharge.)
• Never perform HID circuit inspection with a tester.
• Never touch the xenon bulb glass with hands. Never put oil and grease on it.
• Dispose of the used xenon bulb after packing it in thick vinyl without breaking it.
• Never wipe out dirt and contamination with organic solvent (thinner, gasoline, etc.).
Working with HFC-134a (R-134a) INFOID:0000000005517095

CAUTION:
• CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant are not compatible. Compressor mal-
function is likely to occur if the refrigerants are mixed, refer to “CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT”
below. To determine the purity of HFC-134a (R-134a) in the vehicle and recovery tank, use Refriger-
ant Recovery/Recycling Recharging equipment and Refrigerant Identifier.
• Use only specified lubricant for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) compo-
nents. Compressor malfunction is likely to occur if lubricant other than that specified is used.
• The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) lubricant rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The fol-
lowing handling precautions must be observed:
- Immediately cap (seal) immediately the component to minimize the entry of moisture from the atmo-
sphere when removing refrigerant components from a vehicle.
- Never remove the caps (unseal) until just before connecting the components when installing refrig-
erant components to a vehicle. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as possible to
minimize the entry of moisture into system.
- Use only the specified lubricant from a sealed container. Immediately reseal containers of lubricant.
Lubricant becomes saturated with moisture and should not be used without proper sealing.
- Never allow lubricant (NISSAN A/C System Oil Type S) to come in to contact with styrene foam parts.
Damage may result.
CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT
Take the appropriate steps shown below if a refrigerant other than pure HFC-134a (R-134a) is identified
in a vehicle:
• 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 service equipment and refrigerant sup-
ply.
• Suggest the customer return the vehicle to the location of previous service where the contamination may
have occurred.
• If repairing, recover the refrigerant using only dedicated equipment and containers. Never reintroduce
contaminated refrigerant into the existing service equipment. Contact a local refrigerant product retailer
for available service if the facility does not have dedicated recovery equipment. This refrigerant must be dis-
posed of in accordance with all federal and local regulations. In addition, replacement of all refrigerant sys-
tem components on the vehicle is recommended.
• The air conditioner warranty is void if the vehicle is within the warranty period. Please contact Nissan Cus-
tomer Affairs for further assistance.
General Refrigerant Precaution INFOID:0000000005517096

WARNING:
• Never breathe A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose or throat.
Remove HFC-134a (R-134a) from the A/C system, using certified service equipment meeting require-
ments of SAE J-2210 [HFC-134a (R-134a) recycling equipment], or J-2209 [HFC-134a (R-134a) recov-
ery equipment]. Ventilate the work area before resuming service if accidental system discharge
occurs. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and lubricant
manufacturers.
• Never release refrigerant into the air. Use approved recovery/recycling equipment to capture the
refrigerant each 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.
• Never store or heat refrigerant containers above 52°C (126°F).
• Never heat a refrigerant container with an open flame. Place the bottom of the container in a warm
pail of water if container warming is required.

Revision: 2009 September VTL-10 2010 Murano


PRECAUTIONS
< PRECAUTION > [WITHOUT 7 INCH DISPLAY]
• Never intentionally drop, puncture, or incinerate refrigerant containers.
• Keep refrigerant away from open flames. Poisonous gas is produced if refrigerant burns. A
• Refrigerant displaces oxygen, therefore be certain to work in well ventilated areas to prevent suffo-
cation.
• Never pressure test or leakage test HFC-134a (R-134a) service equipment and/or vehicle air condi-
B
tioning systems with compressed air during repair. Some mixtures of air and HFC-134a (R-134a)
have proven 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 refrigerant manu-
facturers. C

WARNING:
Check that all refrigerant is discharged into the recycling equipment and the pressure in the system is
less than the atmospheric pressure. Then gradually loosen the discharge side hose fitting and remove
it.
CAUTION:
Observe the following items when replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components.
• Store it in the same way as it is when mounted on the car when the compressor is removed. Failure
to do so will cause lubricant to enter the low-pressure chamber.
• Always use a torque wrench and a back-up wrench when connecting tubes.
• Immediately plug all openings to prevent entry of dust and moisture after disconnecting tubes.
• Connect the pipes at the final stage of the operation when installing an air conditioner in the vehicle.
Never remove the seal caps of pipes and other components until just before they are 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.
• Apply lubricant to the circle of the O-rings shown in illustration when a connecting tube. Never apply
lubricant to threaded portion.

Name : NISSAN A/C System Oil Type S


• O-ring must be closely attached to the groove portion of tube.
• Never damage O-ring and tube when replacing the O-ring.
• Connect tube until a click can be heard. Then tighten the nut or bolt by hand. Check that the O-ring is
installed to the tube correctly.

Revision: 2009 September VTL-12 2010 Murano


PRECAUTIONS
< PRECAUTION > [WITHOUT 7 INCH DISPLAY]
• Perform leakage test and check that there is no leakage from connections after connecting the line.
Disconnect the line and replace the O-ring when the refrigerant leakage point is found. Then tighten A
the connections of seal seat to the specified torque.

Service Equipment INFOID:0000000005517098 G

RECOVERY/RECYCLING EQUIPMENT
Be certain to follow the manufacturer instructions for machine operation and machine maintenance. Never H
introduce any refrigerant other than that specified into the machine.
ELECTRICAL LEAK DETECTOR
Be certain to follow the manufacturer instructions for tester operation and tester maintenance. VTL

VACUUM PUMP
The lubricant contained inside the vacuum pump is not compatible J
with the specified lubricant for HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C systems.
The vent side of the vacuum pump is exposed to atmospheric pres-
sure. So the vacuum pump lubricant may migrate out of the pump
into the service hose. This is possible when the pump is switched K
OFF after evacuation (vacuuming) and the hose is connected to it.
To prevent this migration, use a manual valve placed near the hose-
to-pump connection, as per the following procedure. L
• Vacuum pumps usually have a manual isolator valve as part of the
pump. Close this valve to isolate the service hose from the pump.
• Use a hose equipped with a manual shut-off valve near the pump
end for pumps without an isolator. Close the valve to isolate the M
hose from the pump.
• Disconnect the hose from the pump if the hose has an automatic
shut-off valve. As long as the hose is connected, the valve is open N
and lubricating oil may migrate.
Some one-way valves open when vacuum is applied and close
under the no vacuum condition. Such valves may restrict the ability
of the pump to create a deep vacuum and are not recommended. O

MANIFOLD GAUGE SET

Revision: 2009 September VTL-13 2010 Murano


PRECAUTIONS
< PRECAUTION > [WITHOUT 7 INCH DISPLAY]
Be certain that the gauge face indicates HFC-134a or R-134a. Be
sure the gauge set has 1/2″-16 ACME threaded connections for ser-
vice hoses. Confirm the set has been used only with refrigerant
HFC-134a (R-134a) and specified lubricants.

SHA533D

SERVICE HOSES
Be certain that the service hoses display the markings described
(colored hose with a black stripe). All hoses must equip positive
shut-off devices (either manual or automatic) near the end of the
hoses opposite to the manifold gauge.

RHA272D

SERVICE COUPLERS
Never attempt to connect HFC-134a (R-134a) service couplers to a
CFC-12 (R-12) A/C system. The HFC-134a (R-134a) couplers do
not properly connect to the CFC-12 (R-12) system. However, if an
improper connection is attempted, discharging and contamination
may occur.

REFRIGERANT WEIGHT SCALE


Verify that no refrigerant other than HFC-134a (R-134a) and speci-
fied lubricants have been used with the scale. The hose fitting must
be 1/2″-16 ACME if the scale controls refrigerant flow electronically.

RHA274D

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

General Precautions INFOID:0000000005517099

CAUTION: B
• Plug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign material from entering.
• Store it in the same way as it is when mounted on the car when the compressor is removed.
• Follow “Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compressor” exactly when replacing or repairing
compressor. Refer to HA-25, "Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity". C
• Keep friction surfaces between clutch and pulley clean. Wipe it off by using a waste moistened with
thinner if the surface is contaminated with lubricant.
• Turn the compressor shaft by hand more than five turns in both directions after compressor service D
operation. This equally distributes lubricant inside the compressor. Let the engine idle and operate
the compressor for one hour after the compressor is installed.
• Apply voltage to the new compressor and check for normal operation after replacing the compressor
magnet clutch. E

FLUORESCENT LEAK DETECTOR
< PRECAUTION > [WITHOUT 7 INCH DISPLAY]
FLUORESCENT LEAK DETECTOR
General Precautions INFOID:0000000005517100

CAUTION:

• The A/C system contains a fluorescent leak detection dye used for locating refrigerant leakages. An
ultraviolet (UV) lamp is required to illuminate the dye when inspecting for leakages.
• Always wear fluorescence enhancing UV safety goggles to protect eyes and enhance the visibility of
the fluorescent dye.
• The fluorescent dye leak detector is not a replacement for an electrical leak detector (SST: J-41995).
The fluorescent dye leak detector should be used in conjunction with an electrical leak detector
(SST: J-41995) to pin-point refrigerant leakages.
• Read and follow all manufacturer operating instructions and precautions prior to performing work
for safety and customer satisfaction.
• A compressor shaft seal should not necessarily be repaired because of dye seepage. The compres-
sor shaft seal should only be repaired after confirming the leakage with an electrical leak detector
(SST: J-41995).
• Always remove any remaining dye from the leakage area after repairs are completed to avoid a mis-
diagnosis during future service.
• Never allow dye to come into contact with painted body panels or interior components. Immediately
clean with the approved dye cleaner if dye is spilled. Fluorescent dye left on a surface for an
extended period of time cannot be removed.
• Never spray fluorescent dye cleaning agent on hot surfaces (engine exhaust manifold, etc.).
• Never use more than one refrigerant dye bottle [1/4 ounce (7.4 cc)] per A/C system.
• Leak detection dyes for HFC-134a (R-134a) and CFC-12 (R-12) A/C systems are different. Never 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 system, otherwise A/C system damage may result.
• The fluorescent properties of the dye remains for three or more years unless a compressor malfunc-
tion occurs.
IDENTIFICATION
NOTE:
Vehicles with factory installed fluorescent dye have a green label.
Vehicles without factory installed fluorescent dye have a blue label.
IDENTIFICATION LABEL FOR VEHICLE
Vehicles with factory installed fluorescent dye have an identification label on the front side of hood.

PRECAUTIONS
FOR USA AND CANADA
FOR USA AND CANADA : Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR
BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000005517171

The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
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
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 AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT” of this
Service Manual.
WARNING:
• 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/INFINITI dealer.
• Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the “SRS AIR BAG”.
• 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 har-
ness connectors.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
WARNING:
• When working near the Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Air Bag System sensors with the
ignition ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electric power tools or strike near the sensor(s)
with a hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor(s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly
causing serious injury.

• Never wipe out dirt and contamination with organic solvent (thinner, gasoline, etc.).
Working with HFC-134a (R-134a) INFOID:0000000005517176

CAUTION:
• CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant are not compatible. Compressor mal-
function is likely to occur if the refrigerants are mixed, refer to “CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT”
below. To determine the purity of HFC-134a (R-134a) in the vehicle and recovery tank, use Refriger-
ant Recovery/Recycling Recharging equipment and Refrigerant Identifier.
• Use only specified lubricant for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) compo-
nents. Compressor malfunction is likely to occur if lubricant other than that specified is used.
• The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) lubricant rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The fol-
lowing handling precautions must be observed:
- Immediately cap (seal) immediately the component to minimize the entry of moisture from the atmo-
sphere when removing refrigerant components from a vehicle.
- Never remove the caps (unseal) until just before connecting the components when installing refrig-
erant components to a vehicle. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as possible to
minimize the entry of moisture into system.
- Use only the specified lubricant from a sealed container. Immediately reseal containers of lubricant.
Lubricant becomes saturated with moisture and should not be used without proper sealing.
- Never allow lubricant (NISSAN A/C System Oil Type S) to come in to contact with styrene foam parts.
Damage may result.
CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT
Take the appropriate steps shown below if a refrigerant other than pure HFC-134a (R-134a) is identified
in a vehicle:
• 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 service equipment and refrigerant sup-
ply.
• Suggest the customer return the vehicle to the location of previous service where the contamination may
have occurred.
• If repairing, recover the refrigerant using only dedicated equipment and containers. Never reintroduce
contaminated refrigerant into the existing service equipment. Contact a local refrigerant product retailer
for available service if the facility does not have dedicated recovery equipment. This refrigerant must be dis-
posed of in accordance with all federal and local regulations. In addition, replacement of all refrigerant sys-
tem components on the vehicle is recommended.
• The air conditioner warranty is void if the vehicle is within the warranty period. Please contact Nissan Cus-
tomer Affairs for further assistance.
General Refrigerant Precaution INFOID:0000000005517177

WARNING:
• Never breathe A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose or throat.
Remove HFC-134a (R-134a) from the A/C system, using certified service equipment meeting require-
ments of SAE J-2210 [HFC-134a (R-134a) recycling equipment], or J-2209 [HFC-134a (R-134a) recov-
ery equipment]. Ventilate the work area before resuming service if accidental system discharge
occurs. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and lubricant
manufacturers.
• Never release refrigerant into the air. Use approved recovery/recycling equipment to capture the
refrigerant each 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.
• Never store or heat refrigerant containers above 52°C (126°F).
• Never heat a refrigerant container with an open flame. Place the bottom of the container in a warm
pail of water if container warming is required.

Revision: 2009 September VTL-74 2010 Murano


PRECAUTIONS
< PRECAUTION > [WITH 7 INCH DISPLAY]
• Never intentionally drop, puncture, or incinerate refrigerant containers.
• Keep refrigerant away from open flames. Poisonous gas is produced if refrigerant burns. A
• Refrigerant displaces oxygen, therefore be certain to work in well ventilated areas to prevent suffo-
cation.
• Never pressure test or leakage test HFC-134a (R-134a) service equipment and/or vehicle air condi-
B
tioning systems with compressed air during repair. Some mixtures of air and HFC-134a (R-134a)
have proven 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 refrigerant manu-
facturers. C

WARNING:
Check that all refrigerant is discharged into the recycling equipment and the pressure in the system is
less than the atmospheric pressure. Then gradually loosen the discharge side hose fitting and remove
it.
CAUTION:
Observe the following items when replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components.
• Store it in the same way as it is when mounted on the car when the compressor is removed. Failure
to do so will cause lubricant to enter the low-pressure chamber.
• Always use a torque wrench and a back-up wrench when connecting tubes.
• Immediately plug all openings to prevent entry of dust and moisture after disconnecting tubes.
• Connect the pipes at the final stage of the operation when installing an air conditioner in the vehicle.
Never remove the seal caps of pipes and other components until just before they are 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.
• Apply lubricant to the circle of the O-rings shown in illustration when a connecting tube. Never apply
lubricant to threaded portion.

Name : NISSAN A/C System Oil Type S


• O-ring must be closely attached to the groove portion of tube.
• Never damage O-ring and tube when replacing the O-ring.
• Connect tube until a click can be heard. Then tighten the nut or bolt by hand. Check that the O-ring is
installed to the tube correctly.

Revision: 2009 September VTL-76 2010 Murano


PRECAUTIONS
< PRECAUTION > [WITH 7 INCH DISPLAY]
• Perform leakage test and check that there is no leakage from connections after connecting the line.
Disconnect the line and replace the O-ring when the refrigerant leakage point is found. Then tighten A
the connections of seal seat to the specified torque.

RECOVERY/RECYCLING EQUIPMENT
Be certain to follow the manufacturer instructions for machine operation and machine maintenance. Never H
introduce any refrigerant other than that specified into the machine.
ELECTRICAL LEAK DETECTOR
Be certain to follow the manufacturer instructions for tester operation and tester maintenance. VTL

VACUUM PUMP
The lubricant contained inside the vacuum pump is not compatible J
with the specified lubricant for HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C systems.
The vent side of the vacuum pump is exposed to atmospheric pres-
sure. So the vacuum pump lubricant may migrate out of the pump
into the service hose. This is possible when the pump is switched K
OFF after evacuation (vacuuming) and the hose is connected to it.
To prevent this migration, use a manual valve placed near the hose-
to-pump connection, as per the following procedure. L
• Vacuum pumps usually have a manual isolator valve as part of the
pump. Close this valve to isolate the service hose from the pump.
• Use a hose equipped with a manual shut-off valve near the pump
end for pumps without an isolator. Close the valve to isolate the M
hose from the pump.
• Disconnect the hose from the pump if the hose has an automatic
shut-off valve. As long as the hose is connected, the valve is open N
and lubricating oil may migrate.
Some one-way valves open when vacuum is applied and close
under the no vacuum condition. Such valves may restrict the ability
of the pump to create a deep vacuum and are not recommended. O

REFRIGERANT WEIGHT SCALE


Verify that no refrigerant other than HFC-134a (R-134a) and speci-
fied lubricants have been used with the scale. The hose fitting must
be 1/2″-16 ACME if the scale controls refrigerant flow electronically.

RHA274D

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

COMPRESSOR
A
General Precautions INFOID:0000000005517180

CAUTION: B
• Plug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign material from entering.
• Store it in the same way as it is when mounted on the car when the compressor is removed.
• Follow “Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compressor” exactly when replacing or repairing
compressor. Refer to HA-25, "Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity". C
• Keep friction surfaces between clutch and pulley clean. Wipe it off by using a waste moistened with
thinner if the surface is contaminated with lubricant.
• Turn the compressor shaft by hand more than five turns in both directions after compressor service D
operation. This equally distributes lubricant inside the compressor. Let the engine idle and operate
the compressor for one hour after the compressor is installed.
• Apply voltage to the new compressor and check for normal operation after replacing the compressor
magnet clutch. E

FLUORESCENT LEAK DETECTOR
< PRECAUTION > [WITH 7 INCH DISPLAY]
FLUORESCENT LEAK DETECTOR
General Precautions INFOID:0000000005517181

CAUTION:

• The A/C system contains a fluorescent leak detection dye used for locating refrigerant leakages. An
ultraviolet (UV) lamp is required to illuminate the dye when inspecting for leakages.
• Always wear fluorescence enhancing UV safety goggles to protect eyes and enhance the visibility of
the fluorescent dye.
• The fluorescent dye leak detector is not a replacement for an electrical leak detector (SST: J-41995).
The fluorescent dye leak detector should be used in conjunction with an electrical leak detector
(SST: J-41995) to pin-point refrigerant leakages.
• Read and follow all manufacturer operating instructions and precautions prior to performing work
for safety and customer satisfaction.
• A compressor shaft seal should not necessarily be repaired because of dye seepage. The compres-
sor shaft seal should only be repaired after confirming the leakage with an electrical leak detector
(SST: J-41995).
• Always remove any remaining dye from the leakage area after repairs are completed to avoid a mis-
diagnosis during future service.
• Never allow dye to come into contact with painted body panels or interior components. Immediately
clean with the approved dye cleaner if dye is spilled. Fluorescent dye left on a surface for an
extended period of time cannot be removed.
• Never spray fluorescent dye cleaning agent on hot surfaces (engine exhaust manifold, etc.).
• Never use more than one refrigerant dye bottle [1/4 ounce (7.4 cc)] per A/C system.
• Leak detection dyes for HFC-134a (R-134a) and CFC-12 (R-12) A/C systems are different. Never 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 system, otherwise A/C system damage may result.
• The fluorescent properties of the dye remains for three or more years unless a compressor malfunc-
tion occurs.
IDENTIFICATION
NOTE:
Vehicles with factory installed fluorescent dye have a green label.
Vehicles without factory installed fluorescent dye have a blue label.
IDENTIFICATION LABEL FOR VEHICLE
Vehicles with factory installed fluorescent dye have an identification label on the front side of hood.
