PRECAUTIONS

PRECAUTIONS PFP:00001 Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
The Supplemental Restraint System such as AIR BAGand SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER,usedalong 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. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front 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 section of this Service Man­ual.
WARNING:
To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal i njury or death
in the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, 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 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)

EJS0031N
WARNING:
CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant are not compatible. If the refrigerants
are mixed compressor failure is likely to occur. Refer MTC-4, "
Contaminated Refrigerant" .To
determine the purity of HFC-134a (R-134a) in the vehicle and recovery tank, use Refrigerant Recovery/Recycling Recharging equipment and Refrigerant Identifier.
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 possi­bletominimizetheentryofmoistureintosystem.
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 meeting requirements of SAE J2210 [HFC-134a(R-134a) recyclingequipment], 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 Lubricant Type S (DH-PS) or equivalent, to come in
contact with styrofoam parts. Damage may result.

Contaminated Refrigerant

EJS0031O
If a refrigerant other than pure HFC-134a (R-134a) is identified in a vehicle, your options are:
Explain to the customer that environmental regulations prohibit the release of contaminated refrigerant
into the atmosphere.
Explain that recovery of the contaminated refrigerant could damage your service equipment and refriger-
ant supply.
Suggest the customer return the vehicle to the location of previous service where the contamination may
have occurred.
Revision: October 2004 2005 Titan
MTC-4
PRECAUTIONS
If you choose to perform the repair, recover the refrigerantusing only dedicated equipment and contain-
ers. Do not recover contaminated refrigerant into your existing service equipment. If your facility
does not have dedicated recoveryequipment, 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. In addition, replacement of all refrigerant system components on the vehicle is recommended.
If the vehicle is within the warranty period, the air conditioner warranty is void. Please contact N ISSAN
Customer Affairs for further assistance.

General Refrigerant Precautions

EJS0031P
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) 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 manufacturers.

Precautions for Leak Detection Dye

The A/C system contains a fluorescentleak detection dye used for locatingrefrigerant leaks. An ultraviolet
EJS0031Q
(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 (J-
41995).
For your safety and the customer's satisfaction, read and follow all manufacturer's operating instructions
and precautions prior to performing 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).
Alwaysremoveanydyefromtheleakareaafterrepairsarecompletetoavoidamisdiagnosisduringa
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 systems or CFC-12 (R-12) leak detection 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 failure
occurs.

Precautions for Refrigerant Connection

EJS0031S
A new type refrigerant connection has been introduced to all refrigerant lines except the following locations.
Expansion valve to cooling unit
Evaporator pipes to evaporator (inside cooling unit)
Refrigerant pressure sensor
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 equipment and the pressure in the system 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 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 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
to apply lubricant to threaded portion. Lubricant name: NISSAN A/C System Lubricant Type S (DH-PS) Part number: KLH00-PAGS0
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

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 5 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 1 hour.
After replacing the compressor magnet clutch, apply voltage to the new one and check for normal
operation. Refer to MTC-116, "

PRECAUTIONS
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 pres­sure 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 situated 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.
MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
Be certain that the gauge face indicates HFC-134a (R-134a or 134a). 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 lubricant.
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 automatic) near the end of the hoses opposite the manifold gauge.

PRECAUTIONS
SERVICE COUPLERS
Never attempt to connect HFC-134a (R-134a) service couplers to a CFC-12 (R-12) A/C system. The HFC-134a (R-134a) couplers will not properly connect to the CFC-12 (R-12) system. If an improper connection is attempted, discharging and contamination may occur.

REFRIGERANT WEIGHT SCALE
Verify that no refrigerant other than HFC134a(R-134a) and specified lubricants have been used with the scale. If the scale controls refrig­erant flow electronically, the hose fitting must be 1/2"-16 ACME.
RHA274D
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.

Separateand non-interchangeableservice equipment must be used for handlingeach 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. Adapters that convert one size fitting to another must never be used refrigerant/lubricant contamination will occur and compressor failure will result.

REFRIGERATION SYSTEM

REFRIGERATION SYSTEM PFP:KA990 Refrigerant Cycle

EJS0031Z
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 coils are controlled by externally equalized expansion valve, located inside the evaporator case.

Refrigerant System Protection

EJS00320
REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR
The refrigerant system is protected against excessively high or low pressures by the refrigerant pressure sen­sor, located on the condenser. If the system pressure rises above or falls below the specifications, the refriger­ant pressure sensor detects the pressure inside the refrigerant line and sends a voltage signal to the ECM. The ECM de-energizesthe A/C relay to disengage the magnetic compressor clutch when pressure on the high
pressure side detected by refrigerant pressure sensor is over about 2,746 kPa (28 kg/cm about 120 kPa (1.22 kg/cm
2
,17.4psi).

, 398 psi), or below
Revision: October 2004 2005 Titan

REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
The refrigerant system is also protected by a pressure relief valve, located in the rear head of the compressor. When the pressure of refrigerant in the system increases to an abnormal level [more than 2,990 kPa (30.5 kg/
2
cm
, 433.6 psi)], the release port on the pressure relief valve automatically opens and releases refrigerant
into the atmosphere.

LUBRICANT

LUBRICANT PFP:KLG00 Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compressor

EJS00322
The lubricant in the compressor circulates through the system with the refrigerant. Add lubricant to compres­sor when replacing any component or after a large refrigerant leakage has occurred. It is important to maintain the specified amount. If lubricant quantity is not maintained properly, the following malfunctions may result:
Lack of lubricant: May lead to a seized compressor
Excessive lubricant: Inadequate cooling (thermal exchange interference)
LUBRICANT
Name: NISSAN A/C System Lubricant Type S (DH-PS) Part number: KLH00-PAGS0
CHECKING AND ADJUSTING
CAUTION:
If excessive lubricant leakage is noted, do not perform the lubricant return operation.
Start the engine and set the following conditions:
test condition
Engine speed: Idling to 1,200 rpm
A/C switch: On
Blower speed: Max. position
Temperature control: Optional [set so that intake air temperature is 25° to 30° C(77° to 86°F).]

Remarks
Lubricant Adjustment Procedure for Compressor Replacement
1. Before connecting recovery/recycling equipment to vehicle, check recovery/recycling equipment gauges. No refrigerant pressure should be displayed. If NG, recover refrigerant from equipment lines.
2. Connect recovery/recycling equipment to vehicle. Confirm refrigerantpurity in supply tank using recovery/ recycling equipment and refrigerant identifier. If NG, refer to MTC-4, "
3. Confirm refrigerantpurity in vehicle A/C system using recovery/recyclingequipment and refrigerant identi­fier. If NG, refer to MTC-4, "
Contaminated Refrigerant" .
4. Discharge refrigerantinto the refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment. Measure lubricant dischargedinto the recovery/recycling equipment.
5. Drain the lubricant from the old(removed) compressor into a graduated container and recover the amount of lubricant drained.
6. Drain the lubricant from the newcompressor into a separate, clean container.
7. Measure an amount of new lubricant installed equal to amount drained from old” compressor. Add this lubricant to newcompressor through the suction port opening.

AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL

AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL PFP:27500 Description

EJS003TN
The front air control provides regulation of the vehicle's interior temperature. The system is based on the posi­tion of the front air controls temperature switch selected by the driver. This is done by utilizing a microcom­puter, also referred to as the front air control, which receives input signals from the following two sensors:
Intake sensor
PBR (Position Balanced Resistor).
The front air control uses these signals (includingthe set position of the temperature switch) to control:
Outlet air volume
Air temperature
Air distribution

Operation

EJS003TO
AIR MIX DOOR CONTROL
The air mix door is controlled so that in-vehicle temperature changed based on the position of the temperature switch.
BLOWER SPEED CONTROL
Blower speed is controlled based on front blower switch settings. When blower switch is turned, the blower motor starts and increases air flow volume each time the blower switch is turned clockwise, and decreases air flow volume each time the blower switch is turned counterclock­wise. When engine coolant temperature is low, the blower motor operation is delayed to prevent cool air from flow­ing.
INTAKE DOORS CONTROL
The intake doors are controlled by the recirculation switch setting, and the mode (recirculation is not allowed in floor, floor/defrost or defrost modes) control dial setting.
MODE DOOR CONTROL
The mode door is controlled by the position of the mode control dial.
DEFROSTER DOOR CONTROL
The defroster door is controlled by turning the defroster dial to front defroster.
MAGNET CLUTCH CONTROL
WJIA1379E
When A/C switch or DEF switch is pressed, front air control inputs compressor ON signal to BCM. BCM sends compressor ON signal to ECM, via CAN communication line.
Revision: October 2004 2005 Titan
MTC-22
AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL
ECM judges whether compressor can be turned ON, based on each sensor status (refrigerant pressure sen­sor signal, throttle angle sensor, etc.). If it judges compressor can be turned ON, it sends compressor ON sig­nal to IPDM E/R, via CAN communication line. Upon receipt of compressor ON signal from ECM, IPDM E/R turns air conditioner relay ON to operate com­pressor.
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
The self-diagnostic system is built into the front air control to quickly locate the cause of symptoms. Refer to
