Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER” EJS004HI
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 per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
● 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 SRS section.
● Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or
harness connectors.
Precautions for Working with HFC-134a (R-134a) EJS004HJ
WARNING:
● 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 failure 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, do not remove the caps (unseal) until just
before connecting the components. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as possi-
ble to minimize the entry of moisture into system.
● 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.
● Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and
throat. Remove HFC-134a (R-134a) from the A/C system, using certified service equipment meet-
ing requirements of SAE J2210 HFC-134a (R-134a) recycling equipment, or J2209 HFC-134a (R-
134a) recovery equipment). If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before
resuming service. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and
lubricant manufacturers.
● Do not allow lubricant (Nissan A/C System Oil Type S or R) to come in contact with styrofoam
parts. Damage may result.
General Refrigerant Precautions EJS004HK
WARNING:
● Do not 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.
● Do not store or heat refrigerant containers above 52°C (125°F).
● 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.
● Do not 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
suffocation.
● 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 HFC-134a (R-134a)
ATC-4
PRECAUTIONS
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 refriger- A
ant manufacturers.
Lubricant Precautions EJS004HL
B
● Use only specified lubricant for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) components.
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 following
C
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.
D
● When installing refrigerant components to a vehicle, do not remove the caps (unseal) until just before con-
necting the components. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as possible to minimize the
entry of moisture into system.
● Only use the specified lubricant from a sealed container. Immediately reseal containers of lubricant. With- E
out 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.
Remove HFC-134a (R-134a) from the A/C system, using certified service equipment meeting require- F
ments of SAE J2210 HFC-134a (R-134a) recycling equipment, or J2209 HFC-134a (R-134a) recovery
equipment. If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service. Additional
health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers. G
● Do not allow lubricant (Nissan A/C System Oil Type R) to come in contact with styrofoam parts. Damage
may result.
Precautions for Refrigerant Connection EJS004HM
H
A new type refrigerant connection has been introduced to all refrigerant lines except the following location.
● Expansion valve to cooling unit
I
● Refrigerant pressure sensor to liquid tank
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- ATC
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. K
● The reaction force of the O-ring will not occur in the direction that causes the joint to pull out, thereby facil-
itating piping connections.

PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION:
When replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components, observe the following. A
● When the compressor is removed, store it in the same position as it is when mounted on the car.
Malfunction 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. B
● 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. Do not remove the seal caps of pipes and other components until just before required for C
connection.
● Allow components stored in cool areas to warm to working area temperature before removing seal
caps. This prevents condensation from forming inside A/C components. D
● 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 E
to apply lubricant to threaded portion.

● O-ring must be closely attached to dented portion of tube. G
● 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. H
● 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. I
ATC
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 Compres-
sor” exactly. Refer to ATC-15, "Adjustment of Compressor Lubricant Amount" .
● 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.
ATC-7
PRECAUTIONS
● 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 normal
operation.
Precautions for Service Equipment EJS004HO
RECOVERY/RECYCLING EQUIPMENT
Be certain to follow the manufacturers 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
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 man-
ual 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.

PRECAUTIONS
CHARGING CYLINDER
Using a charging cylinder is not recommended. Refrigerant may be vented into air from cylinder's top valve
when filling the cylinder with refrigerant. Also, the accuracy of the cylinder is generally less than that of an
electronic scale or of quality recycle/recharge equipment.
Precautions for Leak Detection Dye EJS004HP
● 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 to (J-
41995) 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 only be repaired after confirming the leak with an electronic refrigerant leak detector (J-41995).
● Always remove any remaining dye from the leak area after repairs are complete to avoid a misdiagnosis
during a future service.
● Do not 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.
● Do not spray the fluorescent dye cleaning agent on hot surfaces (engine exhaust manifold, etc.).
● Do not 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. Do not 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-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.
IDENTIFICATION
NOTE:
Vehicles with factory installed fluorescent dye have a green label.
Vehicles without factory installed fluorescent dye have a blue label.
IDENTIFICATION LABEL FOR VEHICLE
Vehicles with factory installed fluorescent dye have this identification

REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
REFRIGERANT FLOW
The refrigerant flows in the standard pattern, that is, through the compressor, the condenser with 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 at dash panel.
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 SD6V12 displacement compressor to
prevent freeze up.

LUBRICANT LEVEL ADJUSTMENT WHEN REPLACING COMPRESSOR
1. Drain the compressor lubricant from the removed compressor's high and low-pressure ports and measure
the amount of lubricant.
MJIB0133E
2. Drain the compressor lubricant from a new compressor according to the formula below. α indicates lubri-
cant amount that spouts with refrigerant when refrigerant is discharged.
Lubricant amount drained from new compressor (cm3 )
= Lubricant amount contained in the new compressor (80) - Lubricant amount discharged from the
removed compressor - Lubricant amount that adheres to inside of compressor (20) - α
= 60 - Lubricant amount discharged from the removed compressor - α
3. When adding lubricant, add the appropriate amount of compressor lubricant from the compressor's high-
pressure port.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
DESCRIPTION A
● If the temperature felt by the customer is different than the airflow temperature controlled by the set tem-
perature, A/C auto amp. control temperature can be adjusted to compensate for the set temperature (dis-
played temperature). B
HOW TO SET
1. Change to self-diagnosis mode. Refer to ATC-41, "Switching to Self-Diagnosis Mode" .
C
2. In self-diagnosis step 5, press the fan switch (Up: ).
3. A “0” is shown in the display.
4. Pressing the temperature adjustment switch increases or decreases the display temperature throughout a D
range of +3°C through -3°C (in increments of 1°C).At this time, if the setting difference is negative,
″AUTO″ is displayed.
NOTE:
E
When the set temperature (display temperature) is set to 25°C and -3°C, the temperature controlled by A/C
auto amp. is 25°C - 3°C = 22°C and the temperature becomes lower than set temperature.
CAUTION:
When the battery is disconnected or the battery voltage becomes 9V or less, the difference between F
the set temperature (display) and control temperature is cancelled.
