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

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR


BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER” used along with
NJHA0181
GI
a seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain types of
collision. The SRS system composition which is available to NISSAN MODEL N16 is as follows (The compo- MA
sition varies according to the destination and optional equipment.):
I For a frontal collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of driver air bag module (located in the center of the steer- EM
ing wheel), front passenger air bag module (located on the instrument panel on passenger side), front seat
belt pre-tensioners, a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring harness and spiral cable.
I For a side collision LC
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of front side air bag module (located in the outer side of front
seat), side air bag (satellite) sensor, diagnosis sensor unit (one of components of air bags for a frontal
collision), wiring harness, warning lamp (one of components of air bags for a frontal collision). EC
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the RS section of this Service Manual.
WARNING: FE
I 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 should be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN dealer. CL
I Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the RS section. MT
I Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. Spiral cable and wiring harnesses covered with yellow insulation tape either just
before the harness connectors or for the complete harness are related to the SRS. AT
Precautions for Working with HFC-134a
(R-134a) AX
NJHA0002
WARNING:
I CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant are not compatible. These refrigerants SU
must never be mixed, even in the smallest amounts. If the refrigerants are mixed, compressor fail-
ure is likely to occur.
I Use only specified lubricant for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) compo- BR
nents. If lubricant other than that specified is used, compressor failure is likely to occur.
I The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) lubricant rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The fol-
lowing handling precautions must be observed: ST
a) When removing refrigerant components from a vehicle, immediately cap (seal) the component to
minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere.
b) When installing refrigerant components to a vehicle, do not remove the caps (unseal) until just RS
before connecting the components. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as pos-
sible to minimize the entry of moisture into system.
BT
c) Only use the specified lubricant from a sealed container. Immediately reseal containers of lubri-
cant. Without proper sealing, lubricant will become moisture saturated and should not be used.
d) Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and
throat. Remove R-134a from the A/C system, using certified service equipment meeting require-
ments of R-134a recycling equipment, or R-134a recovery equipment. If accidental system dis-
charge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service. Additional health and safety informa- SC
tion may be obtained from refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
e) Do not allow lubricant (Nissan A/C System Oil Type S) to come in contact with styrofoam parts.
Damage may result. EL
General Refrigerant Precautions NJHA0003
WARNING: IDX
I Do not release refrigerant into the air. Use approved recovery/recycling equipment to capture the
refrigerant every time an air conditioning system is discharged.
I Always wear eye and hand protection (goggles and gloves) when working with any refrigerant or
air conditioning system.

HA-3
PRECAUTIONS AUTO
General Refrigerant Precautions (Cont’d)
I Do not store or heat refrigerant containers above 52°C (125°F).
I Do not heat a refrigerant container with an open flame; if container warming is required, place the
bottom of the container in a warm pail of water.
I Do not intentionally drop, puncture, or incinerate refrigerant containers.
I Keep refrigerant away from open flames: poisonous gas will be produced if refrigerant burns.
I Refrigerant will displace oxygen, therefore be certain to work in well ventilated areas to prevent
suffocation.
I Do not pressure test or leak test HFC-134a (R-134a) service equipment and/or vehicle air condi-
tioning systems with compressed air during repair. Some mixtures of air and R-134a have been
shown to be combustible at elevated pressures. These mixtures, if ignited, may cause injury or
property damage. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant manu-
facturers.
Precautions for Refrigerant Connection NJHA0004
A new type refrigerant connection has been introduced to all refrigerant lines except the following location.
I Expansion valve to cooling unit
FEATURES OF NEW TYPE REFRIGERANT CONNECTION NJHA0004S01
I 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
characteristics.
I The reaction force of the O-ring will not occur in the direction that causes the joint to pull out, thereby
facilitating piping connections.

WARNING:
Make sure all refrigerant is discharged into the recycling equipment and the pressure in the system BT
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. SC
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. EL
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. IDX
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.

HA-5
PRECAUTIONS AUTO
Precautions for Refrigerant Connection (Cont’d)
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 R

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.

Precautions for Servicing Compressor NJHA0005


I Plug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering.
I When the compressor is removed, store it in the same position as it is when mounted on the car.
I When replacing or repairing compressor, follow “Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compres-
sor” exactly. Refer to HA-93.
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.
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.
I After replacing the compressor magnet clutch, apply voltage to the new one and check for normal
operation.

Precautions for Service Equipment NJHA0006


RECOVERY/RECYCLING EQUIPMENT NJHA0006S01

PRECAUTIONS AUTO
Precautions for Service Equipment (Cont’d)
VACUUM PUMP NJHA0006S03
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 placed 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.

Refrigeration System
REFRIGERATION CYCLE NJHA0010
Refrigerant Flow NJHA0010S01
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 heater & cooling unit.
Freeze Protection NJHA0010S02
The compressor cycles go on and off to maintain the evaporator temperature within a specified range. When
the evaporator coil temperature falls below a specified point, the thermo control amplifier interrupts the com-
pressor operation. When the evaporator coil temperature rises above the specification, the thermo control
amplifier allows compressor operation.
Refrigerant System Protection NJHA0010S03
Refrigerant Pressure Sensor NJHA0010S0303
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
177 kPa (1.77 bar, 1.8 kg/cm2, 26 psi).
Pressure Relief Valve NJHA0010S0302
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.

Introduction NJHA0013
AIR CONDITIONER LAN SYSTEM OVERVIEW CONTROL SYSTEM NJHA0013S01
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.

RHA439G

Features NJHA0014
SYSTEM CONSTRUCTION (LAN) NJHA0014S08
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 two motors.
The following functions are contained in LCUs built into the mode door motor, air mix door motor and intake
door motor.
I Address
I Motor opening angle signals
I Data transmission
I Motor stop and drive decision
I Opening angle sensor (PBR function)
I Comparison
I Decision (Auto amplifier indicated value and motor opening angle comparison)

RHA350H

Operation NJHA0014S0801
The auto amplifier receives data from each of the sensors. The amplifier sends mode door motor, air mix door
motor and intake door motor opening angle data to the mode door motor LCU, air mix door motor 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 or DEFROST/VENT operation is selected. The new selection data is returned to
the auto amplifier.

LC
Transmission Data and Transmission Order NJHA0014S0802
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.

INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION NJHA0021S01
The self-diagnostic system diagnoses sensors, door motors, blower motor, etc. by system line. Refer to appli-
GI
cable sections (items) for details. Shifting from normal control to the self-diagnostic system is accomplished
by starting the engine (turning the ignition switch from “OFF” to “ON”) and pressing “REC/FRE” switch for at MA
least 5 seconds. The “REC/FRE” switch must be pressed within 10 seconds after starting the engine (ignition
switch is turned “ON”). This system will be canceled by either pressing A/C switch or turning the ignition switch
“OFF”. Shifting from one step to another is accomplished by means of setting the blower speed, as required. EM

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 motor LCU and intake door motor
LCU. EC
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.

System Operation NJHA0062S02

SHA006FE

Automatic Mode NJHA0062S03


In the automatic mode, the blower motor speed is calculated by the automatic amplifier based on inputs from
the PBR, in-vehicle sensor, sunload sensor, intake sensor and ambient sensor. The blower motor applied
voltage ranges from approximately 5 volts (lowest speed) to 12 volts (highest speed).
The control blower speed (in the range of 5 to 12V), the automatic amplifier supplies a gate voltage to the fan
control amplifier. Based on this voltage, the fan control amplifier controls the voltage supplied to the blower
motor.
Starting Fan Speed Control NJHA0062S04
Start Up From “COLD SOAK” Condition (Automatic mode) NJHA0062S0401
In a cold start up condition where the engine coolant temperature is below 55°C (131°F), the blower will oper-
ate at restricted speed (in the range of 3V) for a short period of time (up to 150 seconds). The exact start delay
time varies depending on the ambient and engine coolant temperature.
In the most extreme case (very low ambient) the blower starting delay will be 150 seconds as described above.
After this delay, the engine coolant temperature rises above 55°C (131°F), at which time the blower speed will
increase to the objective speed.
Start Up From Normal or “HOT SOAK” Condition (Automatic mode) NJHA0062S0402
The blower will begin operation momentarily after the AUTO button is pushed. The blower speed will gradu-
ally 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 NJHA0062S05
Sunload NJHA0062S0501
When the in-vehicle temperature and the set temperature when mode door position is VENT or B/L are very GI
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 “high” low speed (approx. 7.5V). During low or no sunload
conditions, the low speed will drop to “normal” low speed (approx. 5V). MA

Ambient Sensor Circuit


COMPONENT DESCRIPTION NJHA0039
The ambient sensor is attached to the radiator core support. It
detects ambient temperature and converts it into a resistance value
which is then input into the auto amplifier.

RHA644H

HA-78
TROUBLE DIAGNOSES AUTO
Ambient Sensor Circuit (Cont’d)
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE INPUT PROCESS NJHA0040
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.

Sunload Sensor Circuit
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION NJHA0046
EC
The sunload sensor is located on the assist side defroster grille. It
detects sunload entering through windshield by means of a photo
diode. The sensor converts the sunload into a current value which FE
is then input into the auto amplifier.

CL

RHA655H
MT
SUNLOAD INPUT PROCESS NJHA0047
The auto amp. also includes a processing circuit which “average” AT
the variations in detected sunload over a period of time. This pre-
vents drastic swings in the ATC system operation due to small or
quick variations in detected sunload. AX
For example, consider driving along a road bordered by an occa-
sional group of large trees. The sunload detected by the sunload
sensor will vary whenever the trees obstruct the sunlight. The pro- SU
cessing circuit averages the detected sunload over a period of
time, so that the (insignificant) effect of the trees momentarily
obstructing the sunlight does not cause any change in the ATC BR
system operation. On the other hand, shortly after entering a long
tunnel, the system will recognize the change in sunload, and the
system will react accordingly. ST

CHECKING REFRIGERANT LEAKS =NJHA0078
Preliminary Check NJHA0078S01
Perform a visual inspection of all refrigeration parts, fittings, hoses,
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.

Precautions for Handling Leak Detector NJHA0078S02


When performing a refrigerant leak check, use an A/C leak detec-
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
detector properly, read the operating instructions and perform any
specified maintenance.
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.
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-
tor.

1. Position probe approximately 5 mm (3/16 in) away from point


to be checked.

SHA707EA

2. When testing, circle each fitting completely with probe.

Checking Procedure NJHA0078S03
To prevent inaccurate or false readings, make sure there is no EC
refrigerant vapor, shop chemicals, or cigarette smoke in the
vicinity of the vehicle. Perform the leak test in calm area (low
air/wind movement) so that the leaking refrigerant is not dis- FE
persed.
1. Turn engine off.
2. Connect a suitable A/C manifold gauge set to the A/C service CL
ports.
3. Check if the A/C refrigerant pressure is at least 345.2 kPa (3.45
bar, 3.52 kg/cm2, 50.1 psi) above 16°C (61°F). If less than MT
specification, recover/evacuate and recharge the system with
the specified amount of refrigerant.
AT
NOTE:
At temperatures below 16°C (61°F), leaks may not be detected
since the system may not reach 345.2 kPa (3.45 bar, 3.52 kg/cm2, AX
50.1 psi).
4. Conduct the leak test from the high side (compressor dis-
charge a to evaporator inlet g) to the low side (evaporator drain SU
hose h to shaft seal k). Refer to HA-103. Perform a leak check
for the following areas carefully. Clean the component to be
checked and move the leak detector probe completely around BR
the connection/component.
I Compressor
Check the fitting of high and low pressure hoses, relief valve ST
and shaft seal.
I Liquid tank
Check the refrigerant pressure sensor, tube fitting, weld seams RS
and the fusible plug mount.
I Service valves BT
Check all around the service valves. Ensure service valve caps
are secured on the service valves (to prevent leaks).
NOTE:
After removing A/C manifold gauge set from service valves, wipe
any residue from valves to prevent any false readings by leak
detector. SC
I 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. EL
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. IDX
Keep the probe inserted for at least ten seconds. Use caution
not to contaminate the ptobe tip with water or dirt that may be
in the drain hose.

5. If a leak detector detects a leak, verify at least once by blow-
ing compressed air into area of suspected leak, then repeat
check as outlined above.
6. Do not stop when one leak is found. Continue to check for
additional leaks at all system components.
If no leaks are found, perform steps 7 - 10.
7. Start engine.
8. Set the heater A/C control as follows:
1) A/C switch ON.
2) Face mode
3) Recirculation position
4) Max cold temperature
5) Fan speed high
9. Run engine at 1,500 rpm for at least 2 minutes.
10. Turn engine off and perform leak check again following steps
4 through 6 above.

Refrigerant leaks should be checked immediately after


stopping the engine. Begin with the leak detector at the
compressor. The pressure on the high pressure side will
gradually drop after refrigerant circulation stops and pres-
sure on the low pressure side will gradually rise, as shown
in the graph. Some leaks are more easily detected when
pressure is high.

SHA839E

11. Discharge A/C system using approved refrigerant recovery


equipment. Repair the leaking fitting or component as neces-
sary.

a seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain types of
collision. The SRS system composition which is available to NISSAN MODEL N16 is as follows (The compo- MA
sition varies according to the destination and optional equipment.):
I For a frontal collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of driver air bag module (located in the center of the steer- EM
ing wheel), front passenger air bag module (located on the instrument panel on passenger side), front seat
belt pre-tensioners, a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring harness and spiral cable.
I For a side collision LC
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of front side air bag module (located in the outer side of front
seat), side air bag (satellite) sensor, diagnosis sensor unit (one of components of air bags for a frontal
collision), wiring harness, warning lamp (one of components of air bags for a frontal collision). EC
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the RS section of this Service Manual.
WARNING: FE
I 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 should be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN dealer. CL
I Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the RS section. MT
I Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. Spiral cable and wiring harnesses covered with yellow insulation tape either just

Precautions for Working with HFC-134a
(R-134a) AX
NJHA0113
WARNING:
I CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant are not compatible. These refrigerants SU
must never be mixed, even in the smallest amounts. If the refrigerants are mixed, compressor fail-
ure is likely to occur.
I Use only specified lubricant for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) compo- BR
nents. If lubricant other than that specified is used, compressor failure is likely to occur.
I The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) lubricant rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The fol-
lowing handling precautions must be observed: ST
a) When removing refrigerant components from a vehicle, immediately cap (seal) the component to
minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere.
b) When installing refrigerant components to a vehicle, do not remove the caps (unseal) until just RS
before connecting the components. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as pos-
sible to minimize the entry of moisture into system.
BT
c) Only use the specified lubricant from a sealed container. Immediately reseal containers of lubri-
cant. Without proper sealing, lubricant will become moisture saturated and should not be used.
d) Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and
throat. Remove R-134a from the A/C system, using certified service equipment meeting require-
ments of R-134a recycling equipment, or R-134a recovery equipment. If accidental system dis-
charge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service. Additional health and safety informa- SC
tion may be obtained from refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
e) Do not allow lubricant (Nissan A/C System Oil Type S) to come in contact with styrofoam parts.
Damage may result. EL
General Refrigerant Precautions NJHA0114
WARNING: IDX
I Do not release refrigerant into the air. Use approved recovery/recycling equipment to capture the
refrigerant every time an air conditioning system is discharged.
I Always wear eye and hand protection (goggles and gloves) when working with any refrigerant or
air conditioning system.

HA-109
PRECAUTIONS MANUAL
General Refrigerant Precautions (Cont’d)
I Do not store or heat refrigerant containers above 52°C (125°F).
I Do not heat a refrigerant container with an open flame; if container warming is required, place the
bottom of the container in a warm pail of water.
I Do not intentionally drop, puncture, or incinerate refrigerant containers.
I Keep refrigerant away from open flames: poisonous gas will be produced if refrigerant burns.
I Refrigerant will displace oxygen, therefore be certain to work in well ventilated areas to prevent
suffocation.
I Do not pressure test or leak test HFC-134a (R-134a) service equipment and/or vehicle air condi-
tioning systems with compressed air during repair. Some mixtures of air and R-134a have been
shown to be combustible at elevated pressures. These mixtures, if ignited, may cause injury or
property damage. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant manu-
facturers.
Precautions for Refrigerant Connection NJHA0115

VACUUM PUMP NJHA0117S03
The lubricant contained inside the vacuum pump is not compatible EC
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 FE
pump into the service hose. This is possible when the pump is
switched off after evacuation (vacuuming) and hose is connected
to it. CL
To prevent this migration, use a manual valve situated near the
hose-to-pump connection, as follows.
I Usually vacuum pumps have a manual isolator valve as part MT
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 AT
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 AX
hose from the pump: as long as the hose is connected, the
valve is open and lubricating oil may migrate.
SU
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. BR

Never mix HFC-134a refrigerant and/or its specified lubricant with CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and/or its lubri-
cant.
Separate and non-interchangeable service equipment must be used for handling each type of refrigerant/
lubricant.
Refrigerant container fittings, service hose fittings and service equipment fittings (equipment which handles
refrigerant and/or lubricant) are different between CFC-12 (R-12) and HFC-134a (R-134a). This is to avoid
mixed use of the refrigerants/lubricant.

DESCRIPTION MANUAL
Refrigeration System

Refrigeration System
REFRIGERATION CYCLE NJHA0121
Refrigerant Flow NJHA0121S01
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 heater & cooling unit.
Freeze Protection NJHA0121S02
The compressor cycles go on and off to maintain the evaporator temperature within a specified range. When
the evaporator coil temperature falls below a specified point, the thermo control amplifier interrupts the com-
pressor operation. When the evaporator coil temperature rises above the specification, the thermo control
amplifier allows compressor operation.
Refrigerant System Protection NJHA0121S03
Refrigerant Pressure Sensor NJHA0121S0303
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).
Dual-pressure Switch NJHA0121S0304
The refrigerant system is protected against excessively high or low pressures by the dual-pressure switch,
located on the liquid tank. If the pressure falls out of specifications, the switch opens to interrupt compressor
operation.
Pressure Relief Valve NJHA0121S0302
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.

DESCRIPTION MANUAL
CSV613 Variable Displacement Compressor

CSV613 Variable Displacement Compressor


GENERAL INFORMATION
1. The CSV613 compressor differs from previous units. The vent temperatures of the CSV613 compressor
NJHA0206
GI
do not drop too far below 5°C (41°F) when:
I evaporator intake air temperature is less than 20°C (68°F) MA
I engine is running at speeds less than 1,500 rpm.
This is because the CSV613 compressor provides a means of “capacity” control.
2. The CSV613 compressor provides refrigerant control under varying conditions. During cold winters, it may EM
not produce high refrigerant pressure discharge (compared to previous units) when used with air condi-
tioning systems.
LC
3. A “clanking” sound may occasionally be heard during refrigerant charge. The sound indicates that the tilt
angle of the swash plate has changed and is not a problem.
4. For air conditioning systems with the CSV613 compressor, the clutch remains engaged unless: the sys- EC
tem main switch, fan switch or ignition switch is turned OFF. When ambient (outside) temperatures are
low or when the amount of refrigerant is insufficient, the clutch is disengaged to protect the compressor.
5. A constant range of suction pressure is maintained when engine speed is greater than a certain value. It FE
normally ranges from 147 to 177 kPa (1.47 to 1.77 bar, 1.5 to 1.8 kg/cm2, 21 to 26 psi) under varying con-
ditions.
In previous compressors, however, suction pressure was reduced with increases in engine speed. CL

DESCRIPTION MANUAL
CSV613 Variable Displacement Compressor (Cont’d)
DESCRIPTION =NJHA0207
General NJHA0207S01
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 6.0 to 125 cm3 (0.366 to 7.628 cu in).

RHA854HA

HA-122
DESCRIPTION MANUAL
CSV613 Variable Displacement Compressor (Cont’d)
Operation =NJHA0207S02
1. Operation Control Valve NJHA0207S0201
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 NJHA0207S0202 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
CSV613 Variable Displacement Compressor (Cont’d)
3. Capacity Control =NJHA0207S0203
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.

Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in


Compressor NJHA0160
The lubricant in the compressor circulates through the system with
the refrigerant. Add lubricant to compressor when replacing any
component or after a large gas leakage occurred. It is important to
maintain the specified amount.
If lubricant quantity is not maintained properly, the following mal-
functions may result:
I Lack of lubricant: May lead to a seized compressor
I Excessive lubricant: Inadequate cooling (thermal exchange
interference)

Lubricant Adjustment Procedure for Compressor


Replacement NJHA0160S0202
1. Discharge refrigerant into the refrigerant recovery/recycling
equipment. Measure lubricant discharged into the recovery/
recycling equipment.
2. Drain the lubricant from the “old” (removed) compressor into a
graduated container and recover the amount of lubricant
drained.
3. Drain the lubricant from the “new” compressor into a separate,
clean container.
4. Measure an amount of new lubricant installed equal to amount
drained from “old” compressor. Add this lubricant to “new” com-
pressor through the suction port opening.
5. Measure an amount of new lubricant equal to the amount
recovered during discharging. Add this lubricant to “new” com-
pressor through the suction port opening.
6. If the liquid tank also needs to be replaced, add an additional
5 m (0.2 Imp fl oz) of lubricant at this time.
Do not add this 5 m (0.2 Imp fl oz) of lubricant if only
replacing the compressor.

CHECKING REFRIGERANT LEAKS =NJHA0168
Preliminary Check NJHA0168S01
Perform a visual inspection of all refrigeration parts, fittings, hoses,
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.

Precautions for Handling Leak Detector NJHA0168S02


When performing a refrigerant leak check, use an A/C leak detec-
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
detector properly, read the operating instructions and perform any
specified maintenance.
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.
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-
tor.

1. Position probe approximately 5 mm (3/16 in) away from point


to be checked.

SHA707EA

2. When testing, circle each fitting completely with probe.

SHA706E

3. Move probe along component approximately 25 to 50 mm (1
to 2 in)/sec.

SHA708EA LC
Checking Procedure NJHA0168S03
To prevent inaccurate or false readings, make sure there is no EC
refrigerant vapor, shop chemicals, or cigarette smoke in the
vicinity of the vehicle. Perform the leak test in calm area (low
air/wind movement) so that the leaking refrigerant is not dis- FE
persed.
1. Turn engine off.
2. Connect a suitable A/C manifold gauge set to the A/C service CL
ports.
3. Check if the A/C refrigerant pressure is at least 345.2 kPa (3.45
bar, 3.52 kg/cm2, 50.1 psi) above 16°C (61°F). If less than MT
specification, recover/evacuate and recharge the system with
the specified amount of refrigerant.
AT
NOTE:
At temperatures below 16°C (61°F), leaks may not be detected
since the system may not reach 345.2 kPa (3.45 bar, 3.52 kg/cm2, AX
50.1 psi).
4. Conduct the leak test from the high side (compressor dis-
charge a to evaporator inlet g) to the low side (evaporator drain SU
hose h to shaft seal k). Refer to HA-220. Perform a leak check
for the following areas carefully. Clean the component to be
checked and move the leak detector probe completely around BR
the connection/component.
I Compressor
Check the fitting of high and low pressure hoses, relief valve ST
and shaft seal.
I Liquid tank
Check the pressure switch, refrigerant pressure sensor, tube RS
fitting, weld seams and the fusible plug mount.
I Service valves BT
Check all around the service valves. Ensure service valve caps
are secured on the service valves (to prevent leaks).
NOTE:
After removing A/C manifold gauge set from service valves, wipe
any residue from valves to prevent any false readings by leak
detector. SC
I 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. EL
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. IDX
Keep the probe inserted for at least ten seconds. Use caution
not to contaminate the ptobe tip with water or dirt that may be
in the drain hose.

HA-223
SERVICE PROCEDURE MANUAL
Refrigerant Lines (Cont’d)
5. If a leak detector detects a leak, verify at least once by blow-
ing compressed air into area of suspected leak, then repeat
check as outlined above.
6. Do not stop when one leak is found. Continue to check for
additional leaks at all system components.
If no leaks are found, perform steps 7 - 10.
7. Start engine.
8. Set the heater A/C control as follows:
1) A/C switch ON.
2) Face mode
3) Recirculation position
4) Max cold temperature
5) Fan speed high
9. Run engine at 1,500 rpm for at least 2 minutes.
10. Turn engine off and perform leak check again following steps
4 through 6 above.

Refrigerant leaks should be checked immediately after


stopping the engine. Begin with the leak detector at the
compressor. The pressure on the high pressure side will
gradually drop after refrigerant circulation stops and pres-
sure on the low pressure side will gradually rise, as shown
in the graph. Some leaks are more easily detected when
pressure is high.

SHA839E

11. Discharge A/C system using approved refrigerant recovery


equipment. Repair the leaking fitting or component as neces-
sary.
12. Evacuate and recharge A/C system and perform the leak test
to confirm no refrigerant leaks.
13. Conduct A/C performance test to ensure system works
properly.
