Precautions for Working with HFC-134a (R-134a) (Cont’d)
쐌 Suggest the customer return the vehicle to the location of previous service where the contamination may
have occurred.
쐌 If you choose to perform the repair, recover the refrigerant using only dedicated equipment and con- GI
tainers. Do not recover contaminated refrigerant into your existing service equipment. If your facil-
ity does not have dedicated recovery equipment, you may contact a local refrigerant product retailer for
available service. This refrigerant must be disposed of in accordance with all federal and local regulations. MA
In addition, replacement of all refrigerant system components on the vehicle is recommended.
쐌 If the vehicle is within the warranty period, the air conditioner warranty is void. Please contact Nissan
Customer Affairs for further assistance. EM
Precautions for Leak Detection Dye
쐌 The A/C system contains a fluorescent leak detection dye used for locating refrigerant leaks. An ultravio-
NIHA0091
LC
let (UV) lamp is required to illuminate the dye when inspecting for leaks.
쐌 Always wear fluorescence enhancing UV safety glasses to protect your eyes and enhance the visibility of EC
the fluorescent dye.
쐌 A compressor shaft seal should not be repaired because of dye seepage. The compressor shaft seal
should only be repaired after confirming the leak with an electronic refrigerant leak detector (J-41995). FE
쐌 Always remove any dye from the leak area after repairs are complete to avoid a misdiagnosis during a
future service.
쐌 Do not allow dye to come into contact with painted body panels or interior components. If dye is spilled, CL
clean immediately with the approved dye cleaner. Fluorescent dye left on a surface for an extended period
of time cannot be removed.
쐌 Do not spray the fluorescent dye cleaning agent on hot surfaces (engine exhaust manifold, etc.). MT
쐌 Do not use more than one refrigerant dye bottle (1/4 ounce / 7.4 cc) per A/C system.
쐌 Leak detection dyes for R-134a and R-12 A/C systems are different. Do not use R-134a leak detection AT
dye in R-12 A/C systems or R-12 leak detection dye in R-134a A/C systems or A/C system damage may
result.
쐌 The fluorescent properties of the dye will remain for over three (3) years unless a compressor failure AX
occurs.
General Refrigerant Precautions NIHA0003
SU
WARNING:
쐌 Do not release refrigerant into the air. Use approved recovery/recycling equipment to capture the
refrigerant every time an air conditioning system is discharged. BR
쐌 Always wear eye and hand protection (goggles and gloves) when working with any refrigerant or
air conditioning system.
쐌 Do not store or heat refrigerant containers above 52°C (125°F).
ST
쐌 Do not heat a refrigerant container with an open flame; if container warming is required, place the
bottom of the container in a warm pail of water. RS
쐌 Do not intentionally drop, puncture, or incinerate refrigerant containers.
쐌 Keep refrigerant away from open flames: poisonous gas will be produced if refrigerant burns.
쐌 Refrigerant will displace oxygen, therefore be certain to work in well ventilated areas to prevent BT
suffocation.
쐌 Do not pressure test or leak test HFC-134a (R-134a) service equipment and/or vehicle air condi-
tioning systems with compressed air during repair. Some mixtures of air and 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- SC
facturers.
Precautions for Refrigerant Connection NIHA0004 EL

쐌 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.

PRECAUTIONS
Precautions for Refrigerant Connection (Cont’d)
쐌 The reaction force of the O-ring will not occur in the direction that causes the joint to pull out, thereby
facilitating piping connections.

CAUTION:
The new and former refrigerant connections in some systems use different O-ring configurations. Do
not confuse O-rings since they are not interchangeable. If a wrong O-ring is installed, refrigerant will
leak at, or around, the connection.

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 FE
it.
CAUTION:
When replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components, observe the following. CL
쐌 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.
MT
쐌 When connecting tubes, always use a torque wrench and a back-up wrench.
쐌 After disconnecting tubes, immediately plug all openings to prevent entry of dirt and moisture.
쐌 When installing an air conditioner in the vehicle, connect the pipes as the final stage of the opera- AT
tion. Do not remove the seal caps of pipes and other components until just before required for
connection.
쐌 Allow components stored in cool areas to warm to working area temperature before removing seal AX
caps. This prevents condensation from forming inside A/C components.
쐌 Thoroughly remove moisture from the refrigeration system before charging the refrigerant. SU
쐌 Always replace used O-rings.
쐌 When connecting tube, apply lubricant to circle of the O-rings shown in illustration. Be careful not
to apply lubricant to threaded portion. BR
Lubricant name: Nissan A/C System Oil Type R
Part number: KLH00-PAGR0
쐌 O-ring must be closely attached to dented portion of tube. ST
쐌 When replacing the O-ring, be careful not to damage O-ring and tube.
쐌 Connect tube until you hear it click, then tighten the nut or bolt by hand until snug. Make sure that RS
the O-ring is installed to tube correctly.
쐌 After connecting line, conduct leak test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections.
When the gas leaking point is found, disconnect that line and replace the O-ring. Then tighten BT
connections of seal seat to the specified torque.

VACUUM PUMP NIHA0006S03
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.
쐌 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.
쐌 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.
쐌 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

DESCRIPTION
Refrigeration System
Refrigeration System
REFRIGERATION CYCLE NIHA0010
Refrigerant Flow NIHA0010S01
The refrigerant flows in the standard pattern, that is, through the compressor, the condenser, the liquid tank,
through the evaporator, and back to the compressor. The refrigerant evaporation through the evaporator coil
is controlled by an externally equalized expansion valve, located inside the evaporator case.
Freeze Protection NIHA0010S02
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 NIHA0010S03
Refrigerant Pressure Sensor NIHA0010S0301
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/PCM. ECM/PCM makes the A/C relay go OFF and stops the compressor when pressure on the high
pressure side detected by refrigerant pressure sensor is over about 2,746 kPa (28 kg/cm2, 398 psi) or below
about 177 kPa (1.8 kg/cm2, 26 psi).
Pressure Relief Valve NIHA0010S0302
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 (38
kg/cm2, 540 psi)], the release port on the pressure relief valve automatically opens and releases refrigerant
into the atmosphere.

CHECKING PROCEDURE NIHA0093S02
To prevent inaccurate or false readings, make sure there is no AT
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- AX
persed.
1. Turn engine off.
2. Connect a suitable A/C manifold gauge set to the A/C service
SU
ports.
3. Check if the A/C refrigerant pressure is at least 345 kPa (3.52 BR
kg/cm2, 50 psi) above 16°C (61°F). If less than specification,
recover/evacuate and recharge the system with the specified
amount of refrigerant. ST
NOTE:
At temperatures below 16°C (61°F), leaks may not be detected
since the system may not reach 345 kPa (3.52 kg/cm2, 50 psi). RS
4. Conduct the leak test from the high side (compressor dis-
charge a to evaporator inlet g) to the low side (evaporator drain
hose g to shaft seal l). Refer to “Refrigerant Lines”, HA-75. BT
Perform a leak check for the following areas carefully. Clean
the component to be checked and move the leak detector
probe completely around the connection/component.
쐌 Compressor
Check the fitting of high and low pressure hoses, relief valve SC
and shaft seal.
쐌 Liquid tank
Check the pressure switch, tube fitting, weld seams and the EL
fusible plug mount.
쐌 Service valves
Check all around the service valves. Ensure service valve caps IDX
are secured on the service valves (to prevent leaks).
HA-77
SERVICE PROCEDURE
Electronic Refrigerant Leak Detector (Cont’d)
NOTE:
After removing A/C manifold gauge set from service valves,
wipe any residue from valves to prevent any false readings by
leak detector.
쐌 Cooling unit (Evaporator)
With engine OFF, turn blower fan on “High” for at least 15
seconds to dissipate any refrigerant trace in the cooling unit.
Wait a minimum of 10 minutes accumulation time (refer to the
manufacturer’s recommended procedure for actual wait time)
before inserting the leak detector probe into the drain hose.
Keep the probe inserted for at least ten seconds. Use caution
not to contaminate the probe tip with water or dirt that may be
in the drain hose.
5. If a leak detector detects a leak, verify at least once by blow-
ing compressed air into area of suspected leak, then repeat
check as outlined above.
6. Do not stop when one leak is found. Continue to check for
additional leaks at all system components.
If no leaks are found, perform steps 7 - 10.
7. Start engine.
8. Set the heater A/C control as follows:
1) A/C switch ON.
2) Face mode
3) Recirculation switch ON
4) Max cold temperature
5) Fan speed high
9. Run engine at 1,500 rpm for at least 2 minutes.

DETECTION NIHA0094S01
쐌 The fluorescent dye leak detector is not a replacement for an
electronic refrigerant leak detector. The fluorescent dye leak FE
detector should be used in conjunction with an electronic
refrigerant leak detector (J-41995) to pinpoint refrigerant leaks.
쐌 For your safety and your customer’s satisfaction, read and fol- CL
low all manufacturer’s operating instructions and precautions
prior to performing the work.
MT
쐌 Refer to “Precautions for Leak Detection Dye”, HA-3.
CHECKING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS USING THE
FLUORESCENT LEAK DETECTOR AT
NIHA0094S02
1. Check A/C system for leaks using the UV lamp and safety
glasses (J-42220) in a low sunlight area (area without windows AX
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 SU
opening indicates an evaporator core assembly (tubes, core or
TXV) leak.
2. If the suspected area is difficult to see, use an adjustable mir- BR
ror or wipe the area with a clean shop rag or cloth, then check
the cloth with the UV lamp for dye residue.
3. Confirm any suspected leaks with an approved electronic ST
refrigerant leak detector.
4. After the leak is repaired, remove any residual dye using dye
cleaner (J-43872) to prevent future misdiagnosis. RS
5. Perform a system performance check and verify the leak repair
with an approved electronic refrigerant leak detector. BT
DYE INJECTION NIHA0094S03
(This procedure is only necessary when re-charging the system or
when the compressor has seized and was replaced.)
Refer to “Precautions for Leak Detection Dye”, HA-3.
1. Check A/C system static (at rest) pressure. Pressure must be SC
at least 345 kPa (50 psi).
2. Pour one bottle (1/4 ounce / 7.4 cc) of the A/C refrigerant dye
into the injector tool (J-41459). EL
3. Connect the injector tool to the A/C LOW PRESSURE side
service fitting.
4. Start engine and switch A/C ON. IDX
5. With the A/C operating (compressor running), inject one bottle
(1/4 ounce / 7.4 cc) of fluorescent dye through the low-pres-
sure service valve using dye injector tool J-41459 (refer to the
manufacturer’s operating instructions).
HA-79
SERVICE PROCEDURE
Fluorescent Dye Leak Detector (Cont’d)
6. With the engine still running, disconnect the injector tool from
the service fitting.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to allow dye to spray or drip when disconnect-
ing the injector from the system.
NOTE:
If repairing the A/C system or replacing a component, pour the
dye directly into the open system connection and proceed
with the service procedures.
7. Operate the A/C system for a minimum of 20 minutes to mix
the dye with the system oil. Depending on the leak size, oper-
ating conditions and location of the leak, it may take from min-
utes to days for the dye to penetrate a leak and become visible.
