PRECAUTIONS

–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, never 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.
–Never allow lubricant (Nissan A/C System Oil Type S) to come in contact with styrene foam parts.
Damage may result.
General Refrigerant PrecautionsBJS000F5
WARNING:

Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and
throat. Use only approved recovery/recycling equipment to discharge HFC-134a (R-134a) refriger-
ant. If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service. Addi-
tional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and lubricant
manufacturers.

Never 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.

Never store or heat refrigerant containers above 52°C (126°F).

Never 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.

Never 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.

Never pressure test or leak test HFC-134a (R-134a) service equipment and/or vehicle air condition-
ing 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 Refrigerant ConnectionBJS000F7
A new type refrigerant connection has been introduced to all refrigerant lines except the following location.

Expansion valve to evaporator

Refrigerant pressure sensor to condenser
ABOUT ONE-TOUCH JOINT
Description

One-touch joints are pipe joints which do not require tools during piping connection.

Unlike conventional connection methods using union nuts and flanges, controlling tightening torque at
connection point is not necessary.

When removing a pipe joint, use a disconnector.

ATC-10
PRECAUTIONS

VQ Engine
CAUTION:
The new and former refrigerant connections use different O-ring configurations. Never confuse O-
rings since they are not interchangeable. If a wrong O-ring is installed, refrigerant may leak at the con-
nection.
O-Ring Part Numbers and Specifications
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.

REFRIGERATION SYSTEMPFP:KA990
Refrigerant CycleBJS000FF
REFRIGERANT FLOW
The refrigerant flows form the compressor through the condenser with liquid tank, through the evaporator, and
back to the compressor. The refrigerant evaporation in the evaporator is controlled by an externally equalized
expansion valve, located inside the evaporator case.
FREEZE PROTECTION
To prevent evaporator frozen up, the evaporator air temperature is monitored, and the voltage signal to the
unified meter and A/C amp. will make the A/C relay go OFF and stop the compressor.
Refrigerant System ProtectionBJS000FG
REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR
The refrigerant system is protected against excessively high- or low-pressure by the refrigerant pressure sen-
sor, located on the condenser. If the system pressure rises above, or falls below the specifications, the refrig-
erant 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
detected by refrigerant pressure sensor is over about 2,746 kPa (27.46 bar, 28 kg/cm
2 , 398 psi), or below
about 134 kPa (1.34 bar, 1.4 kg/cm
2 , 20 psi).
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 unusual level [more than 3,727 kPa (37.27 bar,
38 kg/cm
2 , 540 psi)], the release port on the pressure relief valve automatically opens and releases refriger-
ant into the atmosphere.

AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL

AIR CONDITIONER CONTROLPFP:27500
Description of Air Conditioner LAN Control SystemBJS000FJ
The LAN (Local Area Network) system consists of unified meter and A/C amp., mode door motor, air mix door
motors and intake door motor.
A configuration of these components is shown in the figure below.
System ConstructionBJS000FK
A small network is constructed between the unified meter and A/C amp., air mix door motors, mode door
motor and intake door motor. The unified meter and A/C amp. and motors are connected by data transmission
lines and motor power supply lines. The LAN network is built through the ground circuits of each door motor.
Addresses, motor opening angle signals, motor stop signals and error checking messages are all transmitted
through the data transmission lines connecting the unified meter and A/C amp. and each door motor.
The following functions are contained in LCUs built into the air mix door motors, the mode door motor and the
intake door motor.

Address

Motor opening angle signals

Data transmission

Motor stop and drive decision

Opening angle sensor (PBR function)

Comparison

Decision (Unified meter and A/C amp. indicated value and motor opening angle comparison)
OPERATION
The unified meter and A/C amp. receives data from each of the sensors. The unified meter and A/C amp.
sends mode door, air mix door and intake door opening angle data to the mode door motor LCU, air mix door
motor LCU and intake door motor LCU.
The mode door motor, air mix door motors and intake door motor read their respective signals according to the
address signal. Opening angle indication signals received from the unified meter and A/C amp. and each of
the motor position sensors is compared by the LCUs in each door motor with the existing decision and open-
ing angles. Subsequently, HOT/COLD, DEF/VENT and FRE/REC operation is selected. The new selection
data is returned to the unified meter and A/C amp.

MAGNET CLUTCH CONTROL
When A/C switch is pressed (with FAN ON), press DEF switch, unified meter and A/C amp. transmits com-
pressor ON signal to BCM.
BCM sends compressor ON signal to ECM, via CAN communication.
ECM judges whether compressor can be turned ON, based on each sensor status (refrigerant pressure sen-
sor signal, throttle angle, etc.). If it judges compressor can be turned ON, it sends compressor ON signal to
IPDM E/R, via CAN communication.
Upon receipt of compressor ON signal from ECM, IPDM E/R turns air conditioner relay ON to operate com-
pressor.
SELF-DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
The self-diagnosis system is built into the unified meter and A/C amp. to quickly locate the cause of malfunc-
tions.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS

Self-diagnosis FunctionBJS000FX
DESCRIPTION
The self-diagnosis system diagnoses sensors, door motors, blower motor, etc. by system line. Refer to appli-
cable sections (items) for details. Shifting from usual control to the self-diagnosis system is accomplished by
starting the engine (turning the ignition switch ON) and pressing A/C switch for at least 5 seconds. The A/C
switch must be pressed within 10 seconds after starting the engine (ignition switch is turned ON). This system
will be canceled by either pressing AUTO switch or turning the ignition switch OFF. Shifting to the next step is
accomplished by means of pressing temperature control switch (driver side), as required.
Additionally sifting from STEP-5 to AUXILIARY MECHANISM is accomplished by means of pressing (fan)
control switch (UP).
