Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in CompressorEJS005FV
The lubricant in the compressor circulates through the system with the refrigerant. Add lubricant to compres-
sor 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:
lLack of lubricant: May lead to a seized compressor
lExcessive 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
lEngine speed: Idling to 1,200 rpm
lA/C switch: On
lBlower speed: Max. position
lTemp. control: Optional [Set so that intake air temperature is 25°to 30°C(77°to 86°F).]
lIntake position: Recirculation ( )
lPerform lubricant return operation for about ten minutes
Adjust the lubricant quantity according to the following table.
Lubricant Adjusting Procedure for Components Replacement Except Compressor
After replacing any of the following major components, add the correct amount of lubricant to the system.
Amount of lubricant to be added
l*1: If refrigerant leak is small, no addition of lubricant is needed.
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. 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 new 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 during discharging. 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 m (0.2 Imp fl oz) of lubricant at this time.
Do not add this 5 m (0.2 Imp fl oz) of lubricant if only replacing the compressor.

AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL
AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL
PFP:27500
DescriptionEJS005FW
The front air control provides regulation of the vehicle's interior temperature. The system is based on the posi-
tion of the front air controls temperature switch selected by the driver. This is done by utilizing a microcom-
puter, also referred to as the front air control, which receives input signals from the following three sensors:
lIntake sensor
lPBR (Position Balanced Resistor).
The front air control uses these signals (including the set position of the temperature switch) to control:
lOutlet air volume
lAir temperature
lAir distribution
The front air control is used to select:
lOutlet air volume
lAir temperature/distribution
OperationEJS005FX
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 counterclockwise, and decreases air flow volume each time the blower switch is turned coun-
terclockwise.
When engine coolant temperature is low, the blower motor operation is delayed to prevent cool air from flow-
ing.
INTAKE DOORS CONTROL
The intake doors are controlled by the recirculation switch setting, and the mode (defroster) switch setting.
MODE DOOR CONTROL
The mode door is controlled by the position of the mode switch.
DEFROSTER DOOR CONTROL
The defroster door is controlled by: Turning the defroster dial to front defroster.

MAGNET CLUTCH CONTROL
When the A/C switch is pressed, or the mode switch is turned to the defroster position, the front air control out-
puts a compressor ON signal to BCM.
The BCM then sends a compressor ON signal to ECM, via CAN communication line.
ECM judges whether compressor can be turned ON, based on each sensor status (refrigerant pressure sen-
sor 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 compressor ON signal from ECM, IPDM E/R turns air conditioner relay ON to operate com-
pressor.
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
The self-diagnostic system is built into the front air control to quickly locate the cause of symptoms. Refer to
MTC-51, "
A/C System Self-diagnosis Function".

TEMPERATURE SWITCH (TEMPERATURE CONTROL) (FRONT)
Increases or decreases the set temperature.
RECIRCULATION () SWITCH
lWhen REC switch is ON, REC switch indicator turns ON, and air inlet is set to REC.
lWhen REC switch is turned OFF, or when compressor is turned from ON to OFF, REC switch is automati-
cally turned OFF. REC mode can be re-entered by pressing REC switch again.
lREC switch is not operated when DEF switch is turned ON, or at the D/F position.
REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER SWITCH
When switch is ON, rear window is defogged.
OFF SWITCH (BLOWER SPEED SET TO 0)
The compressor and blower are OFF, the intake doors are set to the outside air position, and the air outlet
doors are set to the foot (75% foot and 25% defrost) position.
A/C SWITCH
The compressor is ON or OFF.
MODE SWITCH
Controls the air discharge outlets through control of the mode and defroster doors.
