A
The Sup plemental Restraint Syste m such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER ”, used along
with a fron t seat be lt, hel ps to re duce th e risk or s everity of injur y to th e dr iver and fro nt pass enge r for cer tain
types of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt sw itches to d etermine the fron t air bag dep loyment, and may on ly d eploy one fr ont
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB sectio n of this Service Manual.
WARNING:
●To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death
in the eve nt of a collision whic h would result in air bag inflation, all mai ntenance must be performed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
●Improper mai ntenance, includin g incorrect removal an d installation of the SRS , can lead to per-
sonal injury caus ed by unin te ntional activati on of th e system . For rem oval of Spiral Cab le an d Air
Bag Module, see the SR S section.
●Do not use electrica l test equipm ent on any circ uit related to the S RS unless in structed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harn esses or
harness connectors .
Precautions f or Working with HFC-134a (R-134a)EJS004LP
WARNING:
●CFC-12 (R-1 2) refrigeran t and H FC-1 34a (R-134 a) re frigeran t are n ot co mpatible. If the re frigeran ts
are mixed compressor failure is likely to occur. Refer MTC-5, "
determine the p urity o f HFC -134a ( R-134 a) in t he veh icle a nd reco ve ry tank, use refrig erant recovery/recycling equipment and refrigerant identif ier.
●Use only sp ecified oil f or t he HFC -13 4a (R- 13 4a) A/ C syst em an d H FC-1 34a (R-1 34a) c om ponen ts.
If oil other than that specified is used, compressor failure is l ikely to occur.
●The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) oil rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The following
handling precautions must be observed:
–When remo ving refr igerant c omponents from a veh icle, imm ediately c ap (seal) the co mponent t o
minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere.
–When installing re frigerant components to a vehicle, do not remove t he caps (unseal) until just
before conn ectin g th e com pon ents. Co nnec t all ref rig erant l oop comp one nts as quick ly a s p os sible to minim ize the entry of moisture into system.
–Only use the specified oil from a se aled container. Immediately reseal co ntainers of oil. Without
proper sealing, oil will become moisture saturated and should not be used.
–Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and oil vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose a nd throat.
Remove HFC-134a (R-134a) from the A/C system using certified service equipment meeting
requirements of SAE J2210 [HFC-134a (R-134a) recycling equipment] or J2209 [HFC-134a ( R-134a)

General Refrig er ant Pre caut i onsEJS004LR
WARNING:
●Do not release ref rigerant into the air. Use approved recovery/rec ycling equ ipment to cap ture the
refrigerant every time an air conditioning system is discharged.
●Always w ear eye and hand prote ction (goggles and glov es) when wo rking with a ny 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 war m 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.
●Refrigeran t will displace oxygen , therefore be certain to work in w ell ventilated areas to prev ent
suffocation.
●Do not pre ssure test or leak test HFC-134a (R-134a) service equipment an d/or vehicle air cond i-
tioning systems with compres sed air during repair. Some mixtures of air and HFC-134a (R-134a )
have been shown to be combust ible at elevat ed pressure s. These mix tures, if ignited , may cause
injury o r pro pe rty da mage . Addi t io nal he a lth a nd saf et y info r mati on ma y b e obtained from refri g erant manufacturers.
Precautions fo r Lea k Det ect ion DyeEJS004LS
●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 glasses 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 detec tor should be used in conjunction with an electronic refriger ant leak detector (J-
41995).
●For your safe ty and t he custom er's satisf action, read a nd follow al l manufac turer's operati ng instruc tions
and precautions prior to performing work.
●A compressor shaft seal sh ould not be repaired because of dye seepage. The compressor shaft seal
should only be repaired after confirming the leak with an electronic refrigerant l eak detector (J-41995).
●Always rem ove any dye from the leak area after repairs are complete to avoid a misdiagnosi s during a
future service.
●Do not a llow dye to come into contact with painted bo dy panels or interior c omponents. 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 detec tion dyes for HFC-134a (R13 4a) and CFC-12 (R-12) A/C s ystems are different. Do not use
HFC-134a (R134a) leak detection dye in CFC-12 (R-12) A/C systems or CFC-12 (R-12) leak detection
dye in HFC-134a (R134a) A/C systems or A/C system damage may result.
●The fluorescent properties of the dye will remain fo r over three (3) years unless a compressor failure
occurs.
A/C Identification LabelEJS004LT
Vehicles with factory installed fluorescent dye have an identification label on the underside of hood.

FEATURES OF NEW TYPE REFRIGERANT CONNECTION
●The O-ring has been relocated. It has also been provided with a groove for proper installation. This
reduces the possibility 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.
●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.

WARNING:
Make sure all refrigerant is discharged into the recycling equ ipment and the pressure in the syste m is
less than atmospheric pressure. Then gradually loosen the discharge side hose fitting and remove it.
CAUTION:
When replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components, observe the following.
●When t he co m presso r is rem oved , store it in t he sa me po siti on a s i t is w hen mou nted on the car.
Failure to do so will cause oil 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 com ponents until just before required f or
connection.
●Allow components stored in cool areas to warm to working area temperature before removing seal
caps. This prevents condensation from forming in side A/C components.
●Thoroughly remove moisture from the refrigeration system before charging the refrigerant.
●Always replace used O-rings.
●When con necting tube, apply oil to circle of the O-rings shown in illustration. Be careful n ot to
apply oil to threaded portion.
●O-ring must be closely attached to dented portion of tube.
●When replacing the O-ring, be careful not to damage O-ring and tube.
●Connect tube until you hear it click, then tighten the nut or bolt by hand until snug. Make sure that
the O-ring is installed to tube correct ly.
●After conne cting line, cond uc t leak test and make su re that there is no leak ag e from con ne ctions.
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
VACUUM PUMP
The oil contained inside the vacuum pump is not compatible with the
specified oil for HFC -134a (R-134a) A/C s ystems. The vent side of
the vacuum pump is exposed to atmospher ic pressure so the vacuum pump oil 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 situated near the
hose-to-pump connection, as follows.
●Usually va cuum pumps have a manua l isolator valve as part of
the pump. C lose this valv e to isolate th e service hose fr om the
pump.
●For pumps without an isolator, use a hose equipped with a man-
ual shut-off valve near the pump end. Clos e the valve to isolate
the hose from the pump.
●If the hose has an automatic shu t off valve, disconnect the hose
from the pump : as long as the hose is conne cted, the valve is
open and lubricating oil may migrate.
Some one-way valves open when vacuum is applied and close
under a no vacuum cond ition. Such valves may restric t the pump's
ability to pull a deep vacuum and are not rec ommended.
MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
Be certain that the g auge face indicate s HFC-134a (R-13 4a) Make
sure the gauge set has 1/2″-16 ACME threaded connections for service hoses. Confirm the set has been used only with refrigerant
HFC-134a (R-134a) along with specified oil.
SERVICE HOSES
Be certain that the service hoses display the markings described
(colored hose with black stripe). All hoses must include positive shutoff devices (either manual or autom atic) near the end of the hoses
opposite the manifold gauge.

AIR COND ITIONER CONTROL
AIR CO NDITIONER CONT ROLPFP:27500
DescriptionEJS004M5
The front air control provides regulation of the vehicle's interior temperature. The system is based on the position of the front air controls tempe rature switch selected by the driver. This is done by utilizing a micro computer, also referred to as the front air control, which receives input signals from the following three sensors:
●Ambient sensor
●Intake sensor
●PBR (position balanced resistor).
The front air control uses these signals (including the set position of the temperature switch) to control:
●Outlet air volume
●Air temperature
●Air distribution
The front air control also provides separate regulation of the vehicle's interior temperature for the rear passenger area. The system is based on th e temperature and rear blower setting s selected from rear air control
(front) control dials located in the overhead console, or from the rear temperature and blower settings from the
rear air contro l (rear) contr ol dials, when the REA R CTRL sw itch is pres sed (indica tor light is on) on the rear
air control (front).

MAGNET CLUTCH CONTROL
AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL
WJIA2161E
When the A/C s witch is pres sed, or the defros ter mod e s witch is p ressed , the fro nt a ir contr ol ou tputs a com pressor ON signal to BCM.
The BCM then sends a compressor ON signal to ECM and front air control, via CAN communication line.
ECM judges wh ether compres sor can be turn ed ON, based on eac h sensor status (refr igerant pres sure sensor signal, throttle angle sensor, etc.). If it judges compressor can be turned ON, it sends compressor ON sig nal to IPDM E/R, via CAN communication line.
Upon receipt of com pressor ON si gnal from ECM, IP DM E/R turns air cond itioner relay O N to operate com pressor.
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
The self-d iagnostic system is built into the fr ont air control to quickly locate the cause of certain symptoms .
Refer to ATC-53, "
