SERVICE INFORMATION A
PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT B
PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000005952343
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along C
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. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING: D
• To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in
the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer. E
• 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 section.
F
• Never use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this Ser-
vice Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or harness
connectors.
G
Precaution for Working with HFC-134a (R-134a) INFOID:0000000005952344
WARNING: H
• CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant are not compatible. These refrigerants
must never be mixed, even in the smallest amounts. If the refrigerants are mixed and compressor
malfunction is likely occur.
• Use only specified lubricant for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) compo- I
nents. If lubricant other than that specified is used, compressor malfunction is likely to occur.
• The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) lubricant rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The fol-
lowing handling precautions must be observed: ATC
- When removing refrigerant components from a vehicle, immediately cap (seal) the component to
minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere.
- When installing refrigerant components to a vehicle, never remove the caps (unseal) until just before
connecting the components. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as possible to min- K
imize the entry of moisture into system.
- Only use the specified lubricant from a sealed container. Immediately reseal containers of lubricant.
Without proper sealing, lubricant will become moisture saturated and should not be used. L
- Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and
throat. Use only approved recovery/recycling equipment to discharge HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant.
If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service. Additional
health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers. M
- Never allow lubricant (Nissan A/C System Oil Type S) to come in contact with styrofoam parts. Dam-
age may result.
N
Contaminated Refrigerant INFOID:0000000005952345
If a refrigerant other than pure HFC-134a (R-134a) is identified in a vehicle, your options are:
• Explain to the customer that environmental regulations prohibit the release of contaminated refrigerant into O
the atmosphere.
• Explain that recovery of the contaminated refrigerant could damage your service equipment and refrigerant
supply.
P
• Suggest the customer return the vehicle to the location of previous service where the contamination may
have occurred.
• If you choose to perform the repair, recover the refrigerant using only dedicated equipment and contain-
ers. Never recover contaminated refrigerant into your existing service equipment. If your facility does
not have dedicated recovery equipment, you may contact a local refrigerant product retailer for available ser-
vice. 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.
ATC-5
PRECAUTIONS
< SERVICE INFORMATION > [WITH NAVIGATION SYSTEM]
• If the vehicle is within the warranty period, the air conditioner warranty is void. Please contact NISSAN Cus-
tomer Affairs for further assistance.
General Refrigerant Precaution INFOID:0000000005952346
WARNING:
• Never release refrigerant into the air. Use approved recovery/recycling equipment to capture the
refrigerant every time an air conditioning system is discharged.
• Always wear eye and hand protection (goggles and gloves) when working with any refrigerant or air
conditioning system.
• Never store or heat refrigerant containers above 52°C.
• Never 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.
• Never intentionally drop, puncture, or incinerate refrigerant containers.
• Keep refrigerant away from open flames: poisonous gas will be produced if refrigerant burns.
• Refrigerant will displace oxygen, therefore be certain to work in well ventilated areas to prevent suf-
focation.
• Never pressure test or leak test HFC-134a (R-134a) service equipment and/or vehicle air conditioning
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 prop-
erty damage. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant manufactur-
ers.
Precaution for Battery Service (for V9X Models) INFOID:0000000006302467
A new type refrigerant connection has been introduced to all refrigerant lines except the following locations.
• Expansion valve to cooling unit
• Evaporator pipes to evaporator (inside cooling unit)
• Refrigerant pressure sensor
ABOUT ONE-TOUCH JOINT
Description
• One-touch joints are pipe joints which never require tools during piping connection.
• Unlike conventional connection methods using union nuts and flanges, controlling tightening torque at con-
nection point is not necessary.
• When removing a pipe joint, use a disconnector.

PRECAUTIONS
< SERVICE INFORMATION > [WITH NAVIGATION SYSTEM]
INSTALLATION
SJIA0107E
1. Clean piping connection points, and insert male-side piping into female-side piping.
2. Push inserted male-side piping harder so that female-side piping flare stretches garter spring.
3. If inside diameter of garter spring becomes larger than outside diameter of female-side piping flare, garter
spring seats on flare. Then, it fits in between male-side piping cage and female-side piping flare to anchor
piping connection point.
NOTICE:
When garter spring seats on flare, and fits in between male-side piping cage and female-side piping flare,
it clicks.
CAUTION:
• Female-side piping connection point is thin. So, when inserting male-side piping, take care not
to deform female-side piping. Slowly insert it in axial direction.
• Insert piping securely until a click is heard.
• After piping connection is completed, pull male-side piping by hand to make sure connection
does not come loose.
NOTE:
One-touch joint connection is used in points below.
• Low-pressure flexible hose to evaporator (O-ring size: 16)
• High-pressure flexible hose to condenser (O-ring size: 12)
• High-pressure pipe 1 to high-pressure pipe 2 (O-ring size: 8)
• High-pressure pipe 1 to condenser (O-ring size: 8)
FEATURES OF NEW TYPE REFRIGERANT CONNECTION
• The O-ring has been relocated. It has also been provided with a groove for proper installation. This elimi-
nates the chance of the O-ring being caught in, or damaged by, the mating part. The sealing direction of the
O-ring is now set vertically in relation to the contacting surface of the mating part to improve sealing charac-
teristics.
ATC-8
PRECAUTIONS
< SERVICE INFORMATION > [WITH NAVIGATION SYSTEM]

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. F
CAUTION:
When replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components, observe the following.
• When the compressor is removed, store it in the same position as it is when mounted on the car. G
Failure to do so will cause lubricant to enter the low pressure chamber.
• When connecting tubes, always use a torque wrench and a back-up wrench.
• After disconnecting tubes, immediately plug all openings to prevent entry of dirt and moisture.
H
• When installing an air conditioner in the vehicle, connect the pipes as the final stage of the opera-
tion. Never remove the seal caps of pipes and other components until just before required for con-
nection.
• Allow components stored in cool areas to warm to working area temperature before removing seal I
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.
ATC
• 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: Genuine NISSAN A/C System Lubricant Type S (DH-PS) or equivalent
Part number: KLH00-PAGS0 K
• O-ring must be closely attached to dented portion of tube.
• When replacing the O-ring, be careful not to damage O-ring and tube.
• Connect tube until you hear it click, then tighten the nut or bolt by hand until snug. Make sure that L
the O-ring is installed to tube correctly.
ATC-13
PRECAUTIONS
< SERVICE INFORMATION > [WITH NAVIGATION SYSTEM]
• After connecting line, conduct leak test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections.
When the gas leaking point is found, disconnect that line and replace the O-ring. Then tighten con-
nections of seal seat to the specified torque.
RHA861F
• Plug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering.
• When the compressor is removed, store it in the same position as it is when mounted on the car.
• When replacing or repairing compressor, follow “Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compressor”
exactly. Refer to ATC-170.
• Keep friction surfaces between clutch and pulley clean. If the surface is contaminated, with lubri-
cant, wipe it off by using a clean waste cloth moistened with thinner.
• 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.
• After replacing the compressor magnet clutch, apply voltage to the new one and check for usual
operation.
Precaution for Service Equipment INFOID:0000000005952349
RECOVERY/RECYCLING EQUIPMENT
Be certain to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for machine operation and machine maintenance. Never
introduce any refrigerant other than that specified into the machine.
ELECTRONIC LEAK DETECTOR
Be certain to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for tester operation and tester maintenance.
VACUUM PUMP
ATC-14
PRECAUTIONS
< SERVICE INFORMATION > [WITH NAVIGATION SYSTEM]
The lubricant contained inside the vacuum pump is not compatible
with the specified lubricant for HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C systems. A
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 off
B
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.
• Usually vacuum pumps have a manual isolator valve as part of the C
pump. Close this valve to isolate the service hose from the pump.
• 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 D
hose from the pump.
• If the hose has an automatic shut-off valve, disconnect the hose
from the pump. As long as the hose is connected, the valve is open
and lubricating oil may migrate. E
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. F

SHA533D K
SERVICE HOSES
Be certain that the service hoses display the markings described
(colored hose with black stripe). All hoses must include positive shut- L
off devices (either manual or automatic) near the end of the hoses
opposite the manifold gauge.

PRECAUTIONS
< SERVICE INFORMATION > [WITH NAVIGATION SYSTEM]
Never attempt to connect HFC-134a (R-134a) service couplers to an
CFC-12 (R-12) A/C system. The HFC-134a (R-134a) couplers will
not properly connect to the CFC-12 (R-12) system. However, if an
improper connection is attempted, discharging and contamination
may occur.
RHA274D
• The A/C system contains a fluorescent leak detection dye used for locating refrigerant leaks. An ultraviolet
(UV) lamp is required to illuminate the dye when inspecting for leaks.
• Always wear fluorescence enhancing UV safety goggles to protect your eyes and enhance the visibility of
the fluorescent dye.
• The fluorescent dye leak detector is not a replacement for an electronic refrigerant leak detector. The fluo-
rescent dye leak detector should be used in conjunction with an electronic refrigerant leak detector (J-
41995) to pin-point refrigerant leaks.
• For your safety and your customer’s satisfaction, read and follow all manufacture’s operating instructions
and precautions prior to performing the work.
• A compressor shaft seal should not be repaired because of dye seepage. The compressor shaft seal should

PRECAUTIONS
< SERVICE INFORMATION > [WITH NAVIGATION SYSTEM]
• Always remove any remaining dye from the leak area after repairs are complete to avoid a misdiagnosis dur-
ing a future service. A
• Never 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.
B
• Never spray the 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 detector dye in HFC- C
134a (R-134a) A/C systems or A/C system damage may result.
• The fluorescent properties of the dye will remain for over three (3) years unless a compressor malfunction
occurs. D
IDENTIFICATION
NOTE:
Vehicles with factory installed fluorescent dye have a green label. E
Vehicles without factory installed fluorescent dye have a blue label.

HFC-134a (R-134a) Service Tool and Equipment INFOID:0000000005952351
Never mix HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant and/or its specified lubricant with CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and/or
its lubricant.
Separate and non-interchangeable service equipment must be used for handling each type of refrigerant/lubri-
cant.
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.
Adapters that convert one size fitting to another must never be used: refrigerant/lubricant contamination will
occur and compressor malfunction will result.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION K
System Operation
The mode door position (vent, B/L, foot, D/F, and defrost) is set by the A/C auto amp. by means of the mode
door motor. When a mode door position is selected on the A/C auto amp., voltage is applied to one circuit of L
the mode door motor while ground is applied to the other circuit, causing the mode door motor to rotate. The
direction of rotation is determined by which circuit has voltage applied to it, and which one has ground applied
to it. The A/C auto amp. monitors the mode door position by measuring the voltage signal on the PBR circuit. M
ATC-57
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
< SERVICE INFORMATION > [WITH NAVIGATION SYSTEM]
In AUTO mode the mode door position is set by the A/C auto amp. which determines the proper position
based on inputs from the in-vehicle sensor, ambient sensor, optical sensor, intake sensor, and the temperature
selected by the driver or passenger.
JMIIA0640GB
AWIIA0093GB
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
The mode door motor is attached to the heater & cooling unit assem-
bly. It rotates so that air is discharged from the outlet as indicated by
the A/C auto amp. Motor rotation is conveyed to a link which acti-

Air Mix Door Motor INFOID:0000000005952377
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION E
System Operation
The A/C auto amp. receives data from the temperature control dial selected by the driver, front and rear. The
A/C auto amp. then applies a voltage to one circuit of the appropriate air mix door motor, while ground is F
applied to the other circuit, causing the appropriate air mix door motor to rotate. The direction of rotation is
determined by which circuit has voltage applied to it, and which one has ground applied to it. The A/C auto
amp. monitors the air mix door positions by measuring the voltage signal on the PBR circuits of each door. G
In AUTO mode the air mix, intake, mode door, and defrost door positions are set by the A/C auto amp. which
determines the proper position based on inputs from the in-vehicle sensor, ambient sensor, sunload sensor,
intake sensor, and the temperature selected by the driver, front and rear passengers.
Subsequently, HOT/COLD or DEFROST/VENT or FRESH/RECIRCULATION operation is selected. The new H
door position data is returned to the A/C auto amp.

System Operation
A
JMIIA0639GB F
Automatic Mode
In the automatic mode, the blower motor speed is calculated by the A/C auto amp. and variable blower control
(front) based on input from the in-vehicle sensor, sunload sensor, intake sensor and ambient sensor, and G
potentio temperature control (PTC).
When the air flow is increased, the blower motor speed is adjusted gradually to prevent a sudden increase in
air flow. H
In addition to manual air flow control and the usual automatic air flow control, starting air flow control, low
water temperature starting control and high passenger compartment temperature starting control are avail-
able.
I
Starting Blower Speed Control
Start up from cold soak condition (Automatic mode).
In a cold start up condition where the engine coolant temperature is below 50°C (122°F), the blower will not
operate at blower speed 1 for a short period of time (up to 210 seconds). The exact start delay time varies ATC
depending on the ambient and engine coolant temperatures.
In the most extreme case (very low ambient temperature) the blower starting delay will be 210 seconds as
described above. After the coolant temperature reaches 50°C (122°F), or the 210 seconds has elapsed, the K
blower speed will increase to the objective blower speed.

Ambient Sensor INFOID:0000000005952388
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Ambient Sensor
Ambient sensor (1) is attached to the radiator core support (left side). It detects ambient temperature and con-
verts it into a value which is then input into the A/C auto amp.
ATC-98
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
< SERVICE INFORMATION > [WITH NAVIGATION SYSTEM]
• ⇐: Front

AWIIA0262ZZ
D
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE INPUT PROCESS
The A/C auto amp. includes a processing circuit for the ambient sensor input. However, when the temperature
detected by the ambient sensor increases quickly, the processing circuit retards the A/C auto amp. function. It
only allows the A/C auto amp. to recognize an ambient temperature increase of 0.33°C (0.6°F) per 100 sec- E
onds.
This prevents constant adjustments due to momentary conditions, such as stopping after high speed driving.
Although the actual ambient temperature has not changed, the temperature detected by the ambient sensor F
will increase. This is because the heat from the engine compartment can radiate to the front grille area, loca-
tion of the ambient sensor.

ATC-165
REFRIGERANT LINES
< SERVICE INFORMATION > [WITH NAVIGATION SYSTEM]
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.
If dye is observed, confirm the leak with an electronic refrigerant leak detector. It is possible a prior leak was
repaired and not properly cleaned.
When searching for leaks, do not stop when one leak is found but continue to check for additional leaks at all
system components and connections.
When searching for refrigerant leaks using an electronic leak detector, move the probe along the suspected
leak area at 1 to 2 inches per second and no further than 1/4 inch from the component.
CAUTION:
Moving the electronic leak detector probe slower and closer to the suspected leak area will improve
the chances of finding a leak.
Checking System for Leaks Using the Fluorescent Leak Detector INFOID:0000000005952429
1. Check A/C system for leaks using the UV lamp and safety goggles [SST: 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 open-
ing indicates an evaporator core assembly (tubes, core or expansion valve) leak.
2. If the suspected area is difficult to see, use an adjustable mirror or wipe the area with a clean shop rag or
cloth, with the UV lamp for dye residue.
3. After the leak is repaired, remove any residual dye using dye cleaner [SST: J-43872] to prevent future mis-
diagnosis.
4. Perform a system performance check and verify the leak repair with an approved electronic refrigerant
leak detector.
NOTE:
Other gases in the work area or substances on the A/C components, for example, anti-freeze, windshield
washer fluid, solvents and lubricants, may falsely trigger the leak detector. Make sure the surfaces to be
checked are clean.
Clean with a dry cloth or blow off with shop air.
Never allow the sensor tip of the detector to contact with any substance. This can also cause false readings
and may damage the detector.
Dye Injection INFOID:0000000005952430
(This procedure is only necessary when recharging the system or when the compressor has seized and was
replaced.)
1. Check A/C system static (at rest) pressure. Pressure must be at least 345 kPa (3.45 bar, 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 [SST: 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. When the A/C operating (compressor running), inject one bottle (1/4 ounce / 7.4 cc) of fluorescent dye
through the low-pressure service valve using dye injector tool J-41459 (refer to the manufacture’s operat-
ing instructions).
6. With the engine still running, disconnect the injector tool from the service fitting.
CAUTION:
Be careful the A/C system or replacing a component, pour the dye directly into the open system
connection and proceed with the service procedures.

ATC-167
REFRIGERANT LINES
< SERVICE INFORMATION > [WITH NAVIGATION SYSTEM]
1. Turn engine OFF.
2. Connect a suitable A/C manifold gauge set (SST) to the A/C service valves.
3. Check if the A/C refrigerant pressure is at least 345 kPa (3.45 bar, 3.52 kg/cm2, 50 psi) above 16°C. If less
than specification, recover/evacuate and recharge the system with the specified amount of refrigerant.
NOTE:
At temperatures below 16°C, leaks may not be detected since the system may not reach 345 kPa (3.45
bar, 3.52 kg/cm2, 50 psi).
4. Perform the leak test from the high-pressure side (compressor discharge a to evaporator inlet g) to the
low-pressure side (evaporator drain hose h to shaft seal l). Refer to ATC-151, "Component". Perform a
leak check for the following areas carefully. Clean the component to be checked and move the leak
detected probe completely around the connection/component.
Compressor
Check the fitting of high- and low-pressure flexible hoses, relief valve and shaft seal.
Liquid tank
Check the refrigerant pressure sensor.
Service valves
Check all around the service valves. Ensure service valve caps are secured on the service valves (to pre-
vent 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.
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 10 seconds. Use caution not to contaminate the probe tip with water
or dirt that may be in the drain hose.
5. If a leak detector detects a leak, verify at least once by blowing 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;
a. A/C switch: ON
b. MODE control dial: VENT (Ventilation)
c. Intake door position: Recirculation
d. Max. cold temperature
e. 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 pressure on the low-pressure
side will gradually rise, as shown in the graph. Some leaks are
more easily detected when pressure is high.
SHA839E
11. Discharge A/C system using approved refrigerant recovery equipment. Repair the leaking fitting or com-
ponent as necessary.
12. Evacuate and recharge A/C system and perform the leak test to confirm no refrigerant leaks.
13. Perform A/C performance test to ensure system works properly.

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000005418204
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. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section 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 section.
• Never use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this Ser-
vice Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or harness
connectors.
Precaution for Working with HFC-134a (R-134a) INFOID:0000000005418205
WARNING:
• CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant are not compatible. These refrigerants
must never be mixed, even in the smallest amounts. If the refrigerants are mixed and compressor
malfunction is likely occur.
• 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.
• The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) lubricant rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The fol-
lowing handling precautions must be observed:
- When removing refrigerant components from a vehicle, immediately cap (seal) the component to
minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere.
- When installing refrigerant components to a vehicle, never remove the caps (unseal) until just before
connecting the components. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as possible to min-
imize the entry of moisture into system.
- Only use the specified lubricant from a sealed container. Immediately reseal containers of lubricant.
Without proper sealing, lubricant will become moisture saturated and should not be used.
- Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and
throat. Use only approved recovery/recycling equipment to discharge HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant.
If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service. Additional
health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
- Never allow lubricant (Nissan A/C System Oil Type S) to come in contact with styrofoam parts. Dam-
age may result.
Contaminated Refrigerant INFOID:0000000005418206
If a refrigerant other than pure HFC-134a (R-134a) is identified in a vehicle, your options are:
• Explain to the customer that environmental regulations prohibit the release of contaminated refrigerant into
the atmosphere.
• Explain that recovery of the contaminated refrigerant could damage your service equipment and refrigerant
supply.
• Suggest the customer return the vehicle to the location of previous service where the contamination may
have occurred.
• If you choose to perform the repair, recover the refrigerant using only dedicated equipment and contain-
ers. Never recover contaminated refrigerant into your existing service equipment. If your facility does
not have dedicated recovery equipment, you may contact a local refrigerant product retailer for available ser-
vice. 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.

INSTALLATION
A
SJIA0107E F
1. Clean piping connection points, and insert male-side piping into female-side piping.
2. Push inserted male-side piping harder so that female-side piping flare stretches garter spring.
3. If inside diameter of garter spring becomes larger than outside diameter of female-side piping flare, garter
spring seats on flare. Then, it fits in between male-side piping cage and female-side piping flare to anchor G
piping connection point.
NOTICE:
When garter spring seats on flare, and fits in between male-side piping cage and female-side piping flare, H
it clicks.
CAUTION:
• Female-side piping connection point is thin. So, when inserting male-side piping, take care not
I
to deform female-side piping. Slowly insert it in axial direction.
• Insert piping securely until a click is heard.
• After piping connection is completed, pull male-side piping by hand to make sure connection
does not come loose. ATC
NOTE:
One-touch joint connection is used in points below.
• Low-pressure flexible hose to evaporator (O-ring size: 16) K
• High-pressure flexible hose to condenser (O-ring size: 12)

WARNING:
Make sure all refrigerant is discharged into the recycling equipment and the pressure in the system is
less than atmospheric pressure. Then gradually loosen the discharge side hose fitting and remove it.
CAUTION:
When replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components, observe the following.
• When the compressor is removed, store it in the same position as it is when mounted on the car.
Failure to do so will cause lubricant to enter the low pressure chamber.
• When connecting tubes, always use a torque wrench and a back-up wrench.
• After disconnecting tubes, immediately plug all openings to prevent entry of dirt and moisture.
• When installing an air conditioner in the vehicle, connect the pipes as the final stage of the opera-
tion. Never remove the seal caps of pipes and other components until just before required for con-
nection.
• Allow components stored in cool areas to warm to working area temperature before removing seal
caps. This prevents condensation from forming inside A/C components.
• Thoroughly remove moisture from the refrigeration system before charging the refrigerant.
• Always replace used O-rings.
• When connecting tube, apply lubricant to circle of the O-rings shown in illustration. Be careful not to
apply lubricant to threaded portion.
Lubricant name: Genuine NISSAN A/C System Lubricant Type S (DH-PS) or equivalent

• O-ring must be closely attached to dented portion of tube.
• When replacing the O-ring, be careful not to damage O-ring and tube.
• Connect tube until you hear it click, then tighten the nut or bolt by hand until snug. Make sure that
the O-ring is installed to tube correctly.
ATC-178
PRECAUTIONS
< SERVICE INFORMATION > [WITHOUT NAVIGATION SYSTEM]
• After connecting line, conduct leak test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections.
When the gas leaking point is found, disconnect that line and replace the O-ring. Then tighten con- A
nections of seal seat to the specified torque.
RHA861F
• Plug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering.
• When the compressor is removed, store it in the same position as it is when mounted on the car. H
• When replacing or repairing compressor, follow “Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compressor”
exactly. Refer to ATC-333.
• Keep friction surfaces between clutch and pulley clean. If the surface is contaminated, with lubri-
cant, wipe it off by using a clean waste cloth moistened with thinner. I
• After compressor service operation, turn the compressor shaft by hand more than five turns in both
directions. This will equally distribute lubricant inside the compressor. After the compressor is
installed, let the engine idle and operate the compressor for one hour. ATC
• After replacing the compressor magnet clutch, apply voltage to the new one and check for usual
operation.

VACUUM PUMP
N
ATC-179
PRECAUTIONS
< SERVICE INFORMATION > [WITHOUT NAVIGATION SYSTEM]
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 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 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.
• Usually vacuum pumps have a manual isolator valve as part of the
pump. Close this valve to isolate the service hose from the pump.
• For pumps without an isolator, use a hose equipped with a manual
shut-off valve near the pump end. Close the valve to isolate the
hose from the pump.
• If the hose has an automatic shut-off valve, disconnect the hose
from the pump. As long as the hose is connected, the valve is open
and lubricating oil may migrate.
Some one-way valves open when vacuum is applied and close
under a no vacuum condition. Such valves may restrict the pump’s
ability to pull a deep vacuum and are not recommended.

REFRIGERANT FLOW
The refrigerant flows in the standard pattern, that is, through the compressor, the condenser with liquid tank,
through the front and rear evaporator, and back to the compressor. The refrigerant evaporation through the
evaporator coils are controlled by front and rear externally equalized expansion valves, located inside the front
and rear evaporator case.
FREEZE PROTECTION
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.

AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL
< SERVICE INFORMATION > [WITHOUT NAVIGATION SYSTEM]
AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL
Description INFOID:0000000005418217
The front air control provides automatic regulation of the vehicle's interior temperature. The system is based
on the driver's and passenger's selected “set temperature”, regardless of the outside temperature changes.
This is done by utilizing a microcomputer, also referred to as the front air control, which receives input signals
from the following six sensors:
• Ambient sensor
• In-vehicle sensor
• Intake sensor
• Sunload sensor (one sensor for driver and passenger side)
• PBR (Position Balanced Resistor).
• Vehicle speed sensor
The front air control uses these signals (including the set temperature) to automatically control:
• Outlet air volume
• Air temperature
• Air distribution
The front air control also provides separate regulation of the vehicle's interior temperature for the rear passen-
ger area. The system is based on the temperature and rear blower settings selected from rear control
switches located on the front air control, or from the temperature and rear blower settings selected from rear
control switches on the rear air control, when the front air control switches are set to the rear position.
The front air control is used to select:
• Outlet air volume
• Air temperature/distribution

WJIA1163E F
When A/C switch or DEF switch is pressed, front air control inputs compressor ON signal to BCM.
BCM sends compressor ON signal to ECM, via CAN communication line. G
ECM judges whether compressor can be turned ON, based on each sensor status (refrigerant pressure sen-
sor signal, throttle angle sensor, etc.). If it judges compressor can be turned ON, it sends compressor ON sig-
nal to IPDM E/R, via CAN communication line.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
< SERVICE INFORMATION > [WITHOUT NAVIGATION SYSTEM]
The mode door position (vent, B/L, foot, and defrost) is set by the front air control by means of the mode door
motor. When a mode door position is selected on the front air control, voltage is applied to one circuit of the
mode door motor while ground is applied to the other circuit, causing the mode door motor to rotate. The direc-
tion of rotation is determined by which circuit has voltage applied to it, and which one has ground applied to it.
The front air control monitors the mode door position by measuring the voltage signal on the PBR circuit.
In AUTO mode the mode door position is set by the front air control which determines the proper position
based on inputs from the in-vehicle sensor, ambient sensor, sunload sensor, intake sensor, and the tempera-
ture selected by the driver or passenger.
JMIIA0045GB

The mode door motor is attached to the heater & cooling unit. It
rotates so that air is discharged from the outlet as indicated by the
front air control. Motor rotation is conveyed to a link which activates
the mode door.

• Intake sensor
System Operation
The front air control receives data from the temperature selected by the driver side, passenger side, and rear.
The front air control then applies a voltage to one circuit of the appropriate air mix door motor, while ground is
applied to the other circuit, causing the appropriate air mix door motor to rotate. The direction of rotation is
determined by which circuit has voltage applied to it, and which one has ground applied to it. The front air con-
trol monitors the air mix door positions by measuring the voltage signal on the PBR circuits of each door.
In AUTO mode the air mix, intake, mode door, and defrost door positions are set by the front air control which
determines the proper position based on inputs from the in-vehicle sensor, ambient sensor, sunload sensor,
intake sensor, and the temperature selected by the driver and front and rear passengers.
Subsequently, HOT/COLD or DEFROST/VENT or FRESH/RECIRCULATION operation is selected. The new
door position data is returned to the front air control.
JMIIA0052GB

The driver and front passenger air mix door motors are attached to
the front heater & cooling unit. The rear air mix door motor is
attached to the rear heater & cooling unit. These motors rotate so
that the air mix door is opened or closed to a position set by the front
(or rear) air control. Motor rotation is then conveyed through a shaft
and the air mix door position is then fed back to the front air control
by the PBR built into the air mix door motors.

Automatic Mode
In the automatic mode, the blower motor speed is calculated by the front air control and variable blower control
based on input from the in-vehicle sensor, sunload sensor, intake sensor and ambient sensor, and positive
temperature coefficient (PTC).
When the air flow is increased, the blower motor speed is adjusted gradually. to prevent a sudden increase in
air flow.
In addition to manual air flow control and the usual automatic air flow control, starting air flow control, low
water temperature starting control and high passenger compartment temperature starting control are avail-
able.
Starting Blower Speed Control
Start up from cold soak condition (Automatic mode).
In a cold start up condition where the engine coolant temperature is below 50°C (122°F), the blower will not
operate at blower speed 1 for a short period of time (up to 210 seconds). The exact start delay time varies
depending on the ambient and engine coolant temperatures.
In the most extreme case (very low ambient temperature) the blower starting delay will be 210 seconds as
described above. After the coolant temperature reaches 50°C (122°F), or the 210 seconds has elapsed, the
blower speed will increase to the objective blower speed.

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

Ambient Sensor Circuit INFOID:0000000005418249
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION L
Ambient Sensor
Ambient sensor is attached to the radiator core support (left side). It
detects ambient temperature and converts it into a resistance value M
which is then input into the front air control.
MJIB0168E
P
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE INPUT PROCESS
The front air control includes a processing circuit for ambient sensor input. However, when the temperature
detected by ambient sensor increases quickly, the processing circuit retards the front air control function. It
only allows the front air control to recognize an ambient temperature increase of 0.33°C (0.6°F) per 100 sec-
onds.
This prevents constant adjustments due to momentary conditions, such as stopping after high speed driving.
Although the actual ambient temperature has not changed, the temperature detected by ambient sensor will
ATC-271
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
< SERVICE INFORMATION > [WITHOUT NAVIGATION SYSTEM]
increase. This is because the heat from the engine compartment can radiate to the front grille area, location of
ambient sensor.

The air inside the passenger compartment is filtered by the air condi-
tioner filters when the heater or A/C controls are set on either the
recirculation or fresh mode. The two air conditioner filters are located
in the front heater and cooling unit assembly. The rear heater and
cooling unit assembly only draws in air from the passenger compart-
ment to recirculate into the passenger compartment, so the rear
heater and cooling unit assembly is not equipped with air conditioner
filters.

< SERVICE INFORMATION > [WITHOUT NAVIGATION SYSTEM]
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.
If dye is observed, confirm the leak with an electronic refrigerant leak detector. It is possible a prior leak was
repaired and not properly cleaned.
When searching for leaks, do not stop when one leak is found but continue to check for additional leaks at all
system components and connections.
When searching for refrigerant leaks using an electronic leak detector, move the probe along the suspected
leak area at 1 to 2 inches per second and no further than 1/4 inch from the component.
CAUTION:
Moving the electronic leak detector probe slower and closer to the suspected leak area will improve
the chances of finding a leak.
Checking System for Leaks Using the Fluorescent Leak Detector INFOID:0000000005418290
1. Check A/C system for leaks using the UV lamp and safety goggles [SST: 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 open-
ing indicates an evaporator core assembly (tubes, core or expansion valve) leak.
2. If the suspected area is difficult to see, use an adjustable mirror or wipe the area with a clean shop rag or
cloth, with the UV lamp for dye residue.
3. After the leak is repaired, remove any residual dye using dye cleaner [SST: J-43872] to prevent future mis-
diagnosis.
4. Perform a system performance check and verify the leak repair with an approved electronic refrigerant
leak detector.
NOTE:
Other gases in the work area or substances on the A/C components, for example, anti-freeze, windshield
washer fluid, solvents and lubricants, may falsely trigger the leak detector. Make sure the surfaces to be
checked are clean.
Clean with a dry cloth or blow off with shop air.
Never allow the sensor tip of the detector to contact with any substance. This can also cause false readings
and may damage the detector.
Dye Injection INFOID:0000000005418291
(This procedure is only necessary when recharging the system or when the compressor has seized and was
replaced.)
1. Check A/C system static (at rest) pressure. Pressure must be at least 345 kPa (3.45 bar, 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 [SST: 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. When the A/C operating (compressor running), inject one bottle (1/4 ounce / 7.4 cc) of fluorescent dye
through the low-pressure service valve using dye injector tool J-41459 (refer to the manufacture’s operat-
ing instructions).
6. With the engine still running, disconnect the injector tool from the service fitting.
CAUTION:
Be careful the A/C system or replacing a component, pour the dye directly into the open system
connection and proceed with the service procedures.

< SERVICE INFORMATION > [WITHOUT NAVIGATION SYSTEM]
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, operating conditions and location of the leak, it may take from minutes to days for the dye to A
penetrate a leak and become visible.

PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING LEAK DETECTOR
When performing a refrigerant leak check, use an A/C electrical leak
detector (SST) or equivalent. Ensure that the instrument is calibrated C
and set properly per the operating instructions.
The leak detector is a delicate device. In order to use the leak detec-
tor properly, read the operating instructions and perform any speci- D
fied maintenance.

CHECKING PROCEDURE
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 dispersed.
ATC-329
REFRIGERANT LINES
< SERVICE INFORMATION > [WITHOUT NAVIGATION SYSTEM]
1. Turn engine OFF.
2. Connect a suitable A/C manifold gauge set (SST) to the A/C service valves.
3. Check if the A/C refrigerant pressure is at least 345 kPa (3.45 bar, 3.52 kg/cm2, 50 psi) above 16°C. If less
than specification, recover/evacuate and recharge the system with the specified amount of refrigerant.
NOTE:
At temperatures below 16°C, leaks may not be detected since the system may not reach 345 kPa (3.45
bar, 3.52 kg/cm2, 50 psi).
4. Perform the leak test from the high-pressure side (compressor discharge a to evaporator inlet g) to the
low-pressure side (evaporator drain hose h to shaft seal l). Refer to ATC-314, "Component". Perform a
leak check for the following areas carefully. Clean the component to be checked and move the leak
detected probe completely around the connection/component.
Compressor
Check the fitting of high- and low-pressure flexible hoses, relief valve and shaft seal.
Liquid tank
Check the refrigerant pressure sensor.
Service valves
Check all around the service valves. Ensure service valve caps are secured on the service valves (to pre-
vent 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.
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 10 seconds. Use caution not to contaminate the probe tip with water
or dirt that may be in the drain hose.
5. If a leak detector detects a leak, verify at least once by blowing 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;
a. A/C switch: ON
b. MODE control dial: VENT (Ventilation)
c. Intake door position: Recirculation
d. Max. cold temperature
e. 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 pressure on the low-pressure
side will gradually rise, as shown in the graph. Some leaks are
more easily detected when pressure is high.
SHA839E
11. Discharge A/C system using approved refrigerant recovery equipment. Repair the leaking fitting or com-
ponent as necessary.
12. Evacuate and recharge A/C system and perform the leak test to confirm no refrigerant leaks.
13. Perform A/C performance test to ensure system works properly.
