CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT
If a refrigerant other than pure HFC-134a (R-134a) is identified in a vehicle, take appropriate steps
shown below:
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 service equipment and refrigerant
supply.
Suggest the customer return the vehicle to the location of previous service where the contamination may
have occurred.
In case of repairing, recover the refrigerant using only dedicated equipment and containers. Never
recover contaminated refrigerant into the existing service equipment. If the facility does not have
dedicated recovery equipment, contact a local refrigerant product retailer for available service. This refrig-
erant 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 Nissan Cus-
tomer Affairs for further assistance.
General Refrigerant PrecautionsAJS001XJ
WARNING:
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 (125 °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
Revision: 2005 July 2005 FX
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 will leak at, or
around, the connection.
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.
CAUTION:
When replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components, observe the following.
When the compressor is removed, store it in the same way as it is when mounted on the car. Fail-
ure 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 at the final stage of the opera-
tion. Never remove the seal caps of pipes and other components until just before required for con-
nection.
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.
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 a click can be heard, then tighten the nut or bolt by hand until snug. Make sure
that the O-ring is installed to tube correctly.

After connecting line, perform leak test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections.
When the refrigerant leaking point is found, disconnect that line and replace the O-ring. Then
tighten connections of seal seat to the specified torque.
Precautions for Servicing CompressorAJS001XM
Plug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering.
When the compressor is removed, store it in the same way as it is when mounted on the car.
When replacing or repairing compressor, follow “Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compres-
sor” exactly. Refer to AT C - 2 7 , "
Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compressor" .
Keep friction surfaces between clutch and pulley clean. If the surface is contaminated with lubri-
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 five 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 one hour.
After replacing the compressor magnet clutch, apply voltage to the new one and check for normal
operation.
Precautions for Service EquipmentAJS001XN
RECOVERY/RECYCLING EQUIPMENT
Be certain to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for machine operation and machine maintenance. Never
introduce any refrigerant other than that specified into the machine.
ELECTRONIC LEAK DETECTOR
Be certain to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for tester operation and tester maintenance.

Revision: 2005 July 2005 FX
Precautions for Leak Detection DyeAJS001XO
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 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 (SST:
J-41995) to pin-point refrigerant leaks.
For your safety and your customer’s satisfaction, read and follow all manufacture ′s operating instructions
and precautions prior to performing the 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 (SST: J-
41995).
Always remove any remaining dye from the leak area after repairs are completed to avoid a misdiagnosis
during a future service.
Never 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.
Never spray the fluorescent dye cleaning agent on hot surfaces (engine exhaust manifold, etc.).
Never 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. Never use
HFC-134a (R-134a) leak detection dye in CFC-12 (R-12) A/C system or CFC-12 (R-12) leak detection
dye in HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system, or A/C system damage may result.
The fluorescent properties of the dye will remain for three years or little over unless a compressor mal-
function occurs.
IDENTIFICATION
NOTE:
Vehicles with factory installed fluorescent dye have a green label.
Vehicles without factory installed fluorescent dye have a blue label.
IDENTIFICATION LABEL FOR VEHICLE
Vehicles with factory installed fluorescent dye have this identification
label on the front side of hood.

HFC-134a (R-134a) Service Tools and EquipmentAJS00144
Never mix HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant and/or its specified lubricant with CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and/or
its lubricant.
Separate and non-interchangeable service equipment must be used for handling each type of refrigerant/lubri-
cant.
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.
Never use adapters that convert one size fitting to another: refrigerant/lubricant contamination will occur and
compressor malfunction will result.
