Precautions for Refrigerant ConnectionNJS000DA
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.

REMOVAL
1. Clean piping connection point, and set a disconnector.
2. Slide disconnector in axial direction of piping, and stretch garter spring with tapered point of disconnector.
3. Slide disconnector farther so that inside diameter of garter spring becomes larger than outside diameter of female-side piping flare. Then male-side piping can be disconnected.
INSTALLATION
1. Clean piping connection points, and insert male-side piping into female-side piping.
2. Push inserted male-side piping harder so that female-side piping flare stretches garter spring.
3. If inside diameter of garter spring becomes larger than outside diameter of female-side piping flare, garter spring seats on flare. Then, it fits in between male-side piping cage and female-side piping flare to anchor
piping connection point.
NOTE:
When garter spring seats on flare, and fits in between male-side piping cage and female-side piping flare,
it clicks.
CAUTION:
Female-side piping connection is thin and easy to deform. slowly insert the male-side piping
straight in axial direction.
Insert piping securely until a click is heard.

After piping connection is completed, pull male-side piping by hand to make sure that connec-
tion does not come loose.
NOTE:
One-touch joint connection is used in points below.
Low-pressure pipe 1 to low-pressure pipe 2 (O-ring size: 16)
High-pressure pipe 1 to high-pressure pipe 2 (O-ring size: 8)
High-pressure pipe 2 to high-pressure pipe 3 (O-ring size: 8)
Low-pressure flexible hose to low-pressure pipe 1 (O-ring size: 16)
Condenser to high-pressure flexible hose (O-ring size: 12)
Condenser to high-pressure pipe 1 (O-ring size: 8)
FEATURES OF NEW TYPE REFRIGERANT CONNECTION
The O-ring has been relocated. It has also been provided with a groove for proper installation. This elimi-
nates 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.

PRECAUTIONS
Revision: 2006 December 2006 FX35/FX45
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.
CAUTION:
When replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components, observe the following.
When the compressor is removed, store it in the same way at 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 tubes, 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 the groove 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.

Precautions for Leak Detection DyeNJS000DD
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 electrical leak detector. The fluorescent dye
leak detector should be used in conjunction with an electrical leak detector (SST: J-41995) to pin-point
refrigerant leaks.
For the purpose of safety and customer’s satisfaction, read and follow all manufacture’s operating instruc-
tions and precautions prior to performing the work.
A compressor shaft seal should not necessarily be repaired because of dye seepage. The compressor
shaft seal should only be repaired after confirming the leak with an electrical 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 a 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 the identification label on the front side of hood.

REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
Revision: 2006 December 2006 FX35/FX45
Operation
1. Control Valve
–By changing high-pressure valve lift amount, built-in electronic control valve executes the following:
Controls high-pressure valve discharge amount.
Changes crankcase pressure in compressor.
Changes angle of wobble (swash) plate.
–Amount of high-pressure valve lift is determined by factors below.
Low-pressure applied to diaphragm
Spring load of set spring
Balance of magnetic force generated in magnet coil
–Electronic control valve (ECV) magnet coil receives electric signal (duty control) from unified meter and A/
C amp. Then, magnetic force generated by electric current is changed to control high-pressure valve lift
amount.
2. Maximum Cooling High-pressure valve is closed by magnetic force generated by electric signal sent from unified meter and
A/C amp. At this time, cylinder moves full stroke due to pressure balance between inside crankcase (Pc)
and suction line (Ps).
Under this condition, the wobble (swash) plate is set to the maximum stroke position.
3. Capacity Control When no electric signal is sent from unified meter and A/C amp. (current: OFF), high-pressure valve is
opened by spring force.
Since suction pressure is low, it makes the suction port close and the discharge port open. Thus, crank-
case pressure becomes high as high-pressure enters the crankcase.
–The force acts around the journal pin near the wobble (swash) plate, and is generated by the pressure dif-
ference before and behind the piston.
–The drive lug and journal pin are located where the piston generates the highest pressure. Piston pres-
sure is between suction pressure Ps and discharge pressure Pd, which is close to suction pressure Ps. If
crankcase pressure Pc rises due to capacity control, the force around the journal pin makes the wobble
(swash) plate angle decrease and also the piston stroke decrease. In other words, crankcase pressure

Ambient Sensor CircuitNJS000EF
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Ambient Sensor
The ambient sensor is attached on the hood lock stay. It detects
ambient temperature and converts it into a resistance value which is
then input into the unified meter and A/C amp.
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE INPUT PROCESS
The unified meter and A/C amp. includes a processing circuit for the ambient sensor input. However, when the
temperature detected by the ambient sensor increases quickly, the processing circuit retards the unified meter
and A/C amp. function. It only allows the unified meter and A/C amp. to recognize an ambient temperature
increase of 0.33 °C (0.6 °F) per 100 seconds.
As an example, consider stopping for a few minutes after high speed driving. Although the actual ambient tem-
perature has not changed, the temperature detected by the ambient sensor will increase. This is because the
heat from the engine compartment can radiate to the front grille area, location of the ambient sensor.
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE FOR AMBIENT SENSOR
SYMPTOM: Ambient sensor circuit is open or shorted. (21 or −21 is
indicated on unified meter and A/C amp. as a result of performing
self-diagnosis STEP-2.)
1. CHECK VOLTAGE BETWEEN AMBIENT SENSOR AND GROUND
1. Disconnect ambient sensor connector.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Check voltage between ambient sensor harness connector E34 terminal 1 and ground.
