Temperature Control
INFOID:0000000009463100
• When ignition switch is in the ON position, A/C auto amp. always automatically controls temperatur e regardless of front air condi-
tioning operational state.
• A/C auto amp. calculates the target air mix door opening angle depending on set temperature, in-vehicle temperature, ambient
temperature, and sunload.
• Air mix door is controlled depending on the comparison of current
air mix door opening angle and target air mix door opening angle.
• Regardless of in-vehicle temperature, ambient temperature, and
sunload, air mix door is fixed at the fully cold position when set
temperature is 18.0 °C (60 °F), and at the fully hot position when set
temperature is 32.0 °C (90 °F).

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint Syst
em (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000009951776
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “A IR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severi ty of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SR and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inopera tive, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in
the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by
an authorized NISS AN/INFINITI dealer.
• Improper maintenance, including in correct removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintent ional activation of the system. For re moval of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
• Do not use electrical test equipmen t on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harn esses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
WARNING:
• When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-
tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electri c power tools or strike near the sensor(s) with a
hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor( s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly causing
serious injury.
• When using air or electric power tools or hammers , always switch the Ignition OFF, disconnect the
battery and wait at least three minutes before performing any service.
Precaution for WorkINFOID:0000000009463187
• When removing or disassembling each component, be careful not to damage or deform it. If a component may be subject to interference, be sure to protect it with a shop cloth.
• When removing (disengaging) components with a screwdriver or similar tool, be sure to wrap the component with a shop cloth or vinyl tape to protect it.
• Protect the removed parts with a s hop cloth and prevent them from being dropped.
• Replace a deformed or damaged clip.
• If a part is specified as a non-reusable part, always replace it with a new one.
• Be sure to tighten bolts and nuts securely to the specified torque.
• After installation is complete, be sure to check that each part works properly.
• Follow the steps below to clean components:
- Water soluble dirt:
• Dip a soft cloth into lukewarm water, wring the water out of the cloth and wipe the dirty area.
• Then rub with a soft, dry cloth.
- Oily dirt:
• Dip a soft cloth into lukewarm water with mild detergent (concentration: within 2 to 3%) and wipe the dirty area.
• Then dip a cloth into fresh water, wring the water out of the cloth and wipe the detergent off.
• Then rub with a soft, dry cloth.
- Do not use organic solvent such as thinner, benzene, alcohol or gasoline.
- For genuine leather seats, use a genuine leather seat cleaner.
Working with HFC-134a (R-134a)INFOID:0000000009463188
WARNING:
• CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refr igerant are not compatible. If the refrigerants
are mixed compressor failure is likely to occur. Refer to HA-25, "Inspection"
. To determine the purity
of HFC-134a (R-134a) in the vehicle and recovery tank, use Refrigerant Recovery/Recycling Recharg-
ing equipment and Refrigerant Identifier.

Component Description
A/C Compressor Vaporized refrigerant is drawn into the A/C compressor from the evaporator, where it is compressed
to a high pressure, high temperature vapor. The hot, compressed vapor is then discharged to the con-
denser.
Air mix door motor The air mix door controls the mix of hot or cold air that enters the ventilation system. It is controlled
by the front air control based on the position of the temperature dial. The air mix door motor receives
position commands from the front air control and reports actual door position back via an LCU (Local
Control Unit) installed inside the motor. Commands and responses are sent across the LIN (Local In-
terconnect Network) to each motor simultaneously, with each motor having its own unique address,
thereby only responding to requests sent to its specific address. The LCU reads the door position from
a Position Balanced Resistor (PBR), also part of the motor, and returns that information to the front
air control. The LCU switches the polarity of the circuits connected to the DC motor to drive the motor
forward or backward as requested by the front air control.
BCM The BCM receives the fan ON and A/C ON signals from the front air control and sends a compressor
ON request to the ECM.
Blower motor The blower motor varies the speed at which the air flows through the ventilation system.
ECM The ECM sends a compressor ON request to the IPDM E/R based on the status of engine operation
and load as well as refrigerant pressure information. If all the conditions are met for A/C operation,
the ECM transmits the compressor ON request to the IPDM E/R. The ECM shares the refrigerant
pressure sensor signal, engine RPM, and engine coolant temperature with the front air control via
CAN communication line.
Front air control The front air control controls the operation of the A/C and heating system based on inputs from the
temperature control knob, the mode switches, the blower control dial, and inputs received from the
ECM and combination meter across the CAN.
Front blower motor relay The front blower motor relay controls the flow of current to fuses 17 and 27 in the Fuse Block (J/B).
The relay is connected directly to ground, and is energized when the ignition switch is in the ON or
START position.
Fuse Block (J/B) Located in the passenger compartment, behind the left lower IP, the Fuse Block (J/B) contains the
front blower motor relay and several fuses required for the air conditioner control system.
Intake door motor The intake door motor controls the position of the intake door. Fresh air is allowed to enter the cabin
in one position, and recirculated inside air is allowed to enter in the other position. At times the front
air control may command partial fresh or recirculation based on evaporator or coolant temperatures.
The intake door motor receives position commands from the front air control and reports actual door
position back via an LCU (Local Control Unit) installed inside the motor. Commands and responses
are sent across the LIN (Local Interconnect Network) to each motor simultaneously, with each motor
having its own unique address, thereby only responding to requests sent to its specific address. The
LCU reads the door position from a Position Balanced Resistor (PBR), also part of the motor, and re-
turns that information to the front air control. The LCU switches the polarity of the circuits connected
to the DC motor to drive the motor forward or backward as requested by the front air control.
