Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BEL T PRE-TENSIONER”
The Supplemental Restraint System such as "AIR BAG" an d "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER" , us ed along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driv er 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 t he risk of personal injury or deat h
in the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflati on, all maintenance must be performed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
●Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury cau sed 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 w iring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or ora nge harness connectors.
Precautions for Working with HFC-134a (R-134a)
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 moistu re 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 jus t
before connecting the components. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as possibletominimizetheentryofmoistureintosystem.
–Only use the specified lubricant from a sealed container. Immediately reseal containers of lubri-
cant. Without proper sealing, lubricant will become m oisture saturated and should not be used.
–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 requirements of SA E J2210 (R-134a recycling equipment), or J2209 (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) to come in contact with styrofoam parts.
Damage may result.

General Refrigerant Precautions
EJS001HI
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 e ye and hand protection (goggles and gloves) w hen 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 compr essed air during repair. Some mixtures of air and R-134a have been

Lubricant Precautions
●Use only sp ecified lubricant for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) components.
EJS001HJ
If lubricant other than that speci fied is us ed, compressor failure is likely to occur.
●The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) lubricant rapidly absorbs moisture from the atm osphere. The following
handling precautions must be observed:
–When removing refrigerant components from a vehicle, immediatel y cap (seal) the component to minimize
the entry of moisture from the atm osphere.
–When installing refrigerant components to a vehic le, 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 sp ecified lubricant from a sealed container. Immediately reseal containers of lubricant. With-
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 R-134a from the A/C system, using certified service equipment meeting requirements of SAE
J2210 (R-134a recycling e quipment), or J2209 (R-134a recovery equipment). If accidental system discharge occurs, v entilate work area before resuming service. Additional health and safety information ma y
be obtained from refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
●Do not allow lubricant (Nissan A/C System Oil Type S) to come in contact with styrofoam parts. Damage
may result.

FEATURES OF NEW TYPE REFRIGERANT CONNECTION
●The O-ring has been relocated. It has also been provided with a groove for proper installation. This e limi-
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
characterist ics.
●The reaction force of t he O-ring will not occur in the direction that causes the joint to pull out, thereby facil-
itating piping connections.

PRECAUTIONS
●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. Do not remove the seal caps of pipes and other components until just before required for
connection.
●Allow components stored in cool areas to warm to working area temperature before removing seal
caps. This prevents condensation from forming inside A/C components.
●Thoroughly remove moisture from the refrigeration system before chargingthe refrigerant.
●Always repl ace used O -rings.
●When conn ecting tube, apply lubricant to circle of the O-rings show n in illust ration. Be careful not
to apply lubricant to threaded portion.
Lubricant name: Nissan A/C System Oil Type S

●O-ring must be closely attached to dented portion of tub e.
●When replacing the O-ring, be careful not to dam age O-ring and tube.
●Conn ect tu be until you hear it click, then tighten the nut or bolt by hand until snug. Make sure that
the O-ring is installed to t ube correctly.
●After con necting 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.

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 normal
operation.

Precautions for Service Equipment
EJS001HM
RECOVERY/RECYCLING EQUIPMENT
Be certain to follow the manufact urers instructions for machine operation and machine maintenance. Never
introduce any refrigerant other than that specified into the machine.
ELECTRO NIC LEAK DETEC TOR
Be certain to follow the manufacturer's instructions for tester operation and tester maintenance.
VACUUM PUMP
The lubricant containe d inside the vacuum pump is not compatible
with the specified lub ricant for HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system s.
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 (vac uuming) and hose is connected to it.
To prevent this migration, use a manual valve placed near the hoseto-pump connec tion, 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 a n 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 migr ate.
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.
MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
Be certain that the gauge face indicates R-134a or 134a. Be sure the
gauge set has 1/2″-16 ACME threaded connections for service
hoses. Confirm the set has been used only with refrigerant HFC134a (R-134a) and specified lubricants.
SERVICE HOSES
Be certain that the service hoses display the markings described
(colored hose with black stripe). All hoses must include positive shut
off devices (either manual or automatic) near the end of the hoses
opposite the manifold gauge.

Precautions for Leak Detection Dye
●The A/C system contains a fluorescent leak detection dye used for locating refrigerantleaks. A n ultraviolet
EJS001HN
(UV) lamp is required to illuminate the dye when inspecting for leaks.
●Always wear fluorescence enhancing UV safety glasses to protect your eyes and enhance the visibility of
the fluorescent dye.
●The fluorescent dye leak detector is n ot a replacement for an electronic refrigerant leak detector. The fluo-
rescent dye leak detector shoul d be used in conjunction with an electronic refrigerant leak detector to (J-
41995) pin-point refrigerant leaks.
ATC-9
PRECAUTIONS
●For your safety and your Customer's satisfaction, read and follow al l 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 l eak 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 i nto contact with painted body panels or interi or components. If dye is spilled,
clean immediately wi th the approved dye clea ner. Fluorescent dye left on a surface for an extended period
of time cannot be removed.
●Do not s pray the fluorescent dye cle aning 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 R-134a and R12 A/C systems are different. Do not use R-134a leak detection dye
in R-12 A/C system or R-12 leak de tector dye in R-134a A/C systems or A/C system damage may result.
●The fluorescent pr operties of the dye will rem ain for over three (3) years unless a compressor f ailure
occurs.

Refrigerant Cycle
REFRIGERA NT 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 inside the evaporator case.
EJS001HR
A

FREEZE PROTECT ION
Under normal operating condi tions, 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.
Refrigerant System Protection
EJS001HS
REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSO R (WITH GASOLINE ENGINE)
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

DUAL-PRESSURE SWITCH (WITH DIESEL ENGINE)
The refrigerant system is protected against excessively high or low pressures by the dual-pressure switch,
located on the liquid tank. If the system pressure rises above or falls below the specifications, the dual-pressure switch opens to interrupt the compressor operation.
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
The refrigerant system is also protected by a pressure relief valve, located in the rear head of the compressor.
When the pres sure of refrige rant in the system increases to an abnormal level [more than 3,727 kPa (37.3 bar,

EJS001HT
GENERAL INFORMATION
1.The V-6 variable compressor differs from previous units. The vent temperatures of the V-6 variable compressor do not drop too far below 5°C(41°F) wh en:
Evaporator intake air tempera ture is less than 20°C(68°F).
Engine is running at speeds less than 1,500 rpm.
This is because the V-6 compressor provides a means of "capacity" control.
2.The V-6 variable compressor provides refrig erant control under varying conditions. During cold winters, it
may not produce high r efrigerant pr essure discharge (compared to previous units) when used with air
conditioning systems.
3.A "clanking" sound may occasionally be heard during refrigerant charg e. The sound indicates that the tilt
angle of the swash pla te has changed and is not a problem.
4.For air conditioning systems with the V-6 compressor, the clutch remains engaged unless: the system
main switch, fan switch or ignition switch is turned OFF. W hen 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 c ertain value. It
2
normally ranges fr om 147 to 177 kPa (1.47 to 1.77 bar, 1.5 to 1.8 kg/cm

Operation
1.Operation Control Valve
Operation control valve is located in the suctio n port (low-pressure) side, and opens or closes in response
to changes in refrigerant suction pressure.
Operation of the valve controls the inter nal pressure of the crankcase.
The angle of the swash plate is controlled between the crankcase's internal pressur e and the piston cyl inder pressure.
2.Maximum Co oling
Refrigerant pressure on the low-pressure side increases with an increase in heat loads.
When this occurs, the control v alve's bellows compress to open the low-pressure side valve and close the
high-pressure side valve.
This causes the following pressure changes:
ATC-18
REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
● The crankcase's internal pressure to equal the pressure on the low-pressure side;
● The cyl inder's internal pressure to be greater than the crankcase's inte rnal pressure.
Under this condition, the swash plate is set to the maximum str oke position.
A
B
C
D
E
F
RHA473C
3.CapacityControl
● Refrigerant pressure on suction side is l ow during high speed driving or when ambient or interior temperature is low.
● The bellows expands when refrig erant pressure on the suctio n pressure side drops below app roxi-
2
mately 177 kPa (1.77 bar, 1.8 kg/c m
,26psi).
Since suction pressure is low, it makes the suction port close and the discharge port open. Thus, crankcase pressure becomes high as high pressure e nters the crankcase.
● 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 pr essure is between suction pressure Ps a nd 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 pr essure difference between the piston and the crankcase. The pressure difference changes the
angle of the swash plate.

Remarks
LUBRICANT ADJUSTING PROCEDURE FOR COMPRESSOR REP LACEMENT
1.Before connecting ACR4 to vehicle, check ACR4 gauges. No refrigerant pressure should be displa yed. If
NG, recover refrigerant from equipment lines.
2.Discharge refrigerant into the refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment. Measure lubricant discharged into
the recovery/recycling equipment.
3.Drain the lubricant from the old (removed) compressor into a graduated container and recover the amount
of lubricant drained.
4.Drain the lubricant from the new compressor into a separate, clean container.
5.Measure an amount of n ew lubricant installed equal to amount drained from old compressor. Add this
lubricant to new compressor through the suction port opening.
6.Measure an amount of new lubricant equal to the amount recovered d uring dis charging. Add this lubricant
to new compressor through the suction port opening.
7.If the liquid tank also needs to be replaced, add an additional 5 ml [Litre] (0.2 Imp fl oz ) of lubr icant at this
time.
Do not add this 5 ml (0.2 Imp fl oz) of lubricant if only replacing the compressor.

AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL
AIR CONDITIONER CONTROLPFP:27500
Overview Air Conditioner LAN Control System
The LAN system consists of auto amp., m ode door motor, air mix door motor and intake door motor.
A configuration of these c omponents is shown in the diagram belo w.

System Construction
EJS001HX
A small network is constructed between the auto amplifier, air mix door motor and mode door motor. The auto
amplifier and motors are connected by data transmission lines and moto r power supply lines. The LAN network is built through the groun d ci rcuits o f the two motors.
Addresses, motor opening angle signals, motor stop signals and error checking messages are al l transmitted
through the data transmissi on lines connecting the auto amplifier and two motors.
The following functions are contained in LCUs built into the air mix door motor and the mode door motor.
●Address
●Motor open ing angle signals
●Data transmission
●Motor stop and dri ve dec ision
●Openin g angle sensor (PBR function)
●Comparison
●Decision (Auto amplifier indicated value and motor opening angle comparison)

OPERATION
The auto amplifier receives data from each of the sensors. The amplifier sends mode door, air mix door and
intake door opening ang le data to the mo de door motor LCU, a ir mix door motor LC U 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 position sensors are compare d by the LCUs in each motor with the existing decision and opening angles. Subsequently, HOT/COLD, DE FROST/VENT or FRESH/RECIRCULATION operation is selected. T he n ew selection
data is returnedto the auto amplifier.
ATC-23
AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL
RHA351H
TRANSMISSION DATA AND TRANSMISSION ORDER
Amplifier data is transmitted consecutively to each of the door motors follow ing the form shown in figure below.
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 air mix
door motor, mode do or motor and intake door motor.
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.
If an error exists, the received data is rejected and corrected data re ceived. 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.
Error check:
Procedure by which sent and received data is checked for er rors. Error data is then compiled. The error check
prevents corrupted data from being used by the air mix door motor, mode door motor and intake door motor.
Error data can be related to the following problems.
●Abnormal electrical fre quency
●Poor electrical connections
●Signal leakage from transmission li nes
●Signal level fluctuation
Stop signal:
At the end of each transmission, a stop operation, in-operation, or internal problem message is del ivered to
the auto amplifier. This completes one data transmission and control cycle.

AIR MIX DOOR CONTROL (AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL)
The air mix door is automatically controlled so that in-vehicle temperature is maintained at a predetermined
value by: The temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle temperature and amount of sunload.
ATC-24
AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL
FAN SPEED CONTROL
Blower speed is automatically controlled based on tempera ture setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle temperature, intake temperature, amount of sunload and air mix door position.
With FAN switch set to AUTO, the blower motor starts to gradually increase air flow volume.
When engine coolant temperature is low, the blower motor operation is delayed to prevent cool air from flowing.
INTAKE DOOR CONTROL
The intake doors are automatically controlled by: The temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehic le
temperature, intake temperature, amount of sunload and ON-OFF operation of the co mpressor.
