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 PrecautionsNJS000FR
WARNING:
Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and
throat. Remove HFC-134a (R-134a) from the A/C system, using certified service equipment meet-
ing requirements of SAE J-2210 [HFC-134a (R-134a) recycling equipment], or J-2209 [HFC-134a (R-
134a) recovery equipment]. If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before
resuming service. Additional 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 ConnectionNJS000FS
A new type refrigerant connection has been introduced to all refrigerant lines except the following location.
Expansion valve to evaporator
Refrigerant pressure sensor to liquid tank
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.

Variable Displacement CompressorNJS000G1
GENERAL INFORMATION
1. The variable compressor provides refrigerant control under varying conditions. During cold winters, it may
not produce high refrigerant pressure discharge (compared to previous units) when used with air condi-
tioning systems.
2. For air conditioning systems with the compressor, the clutch remains engaged unless: the system main
switch, fan switch or ignition switch is turned OFF. When ambient (outside) temperatures are low or when
the amount of refrigerant is insufficient, the clutch is disengaged to protect the compressor.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
Low-pressure Side Sometimes Becomes Negative
Low-pressure Side Becomes Negative
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE FOR INSUFFICIENT COOLING
SYMPTOM: Insufficient cooling
1. CHECK POWER SUPPLY FOR ECV (ELECTRONIC CONTROL VALVE)
1. Disconnect compressor (ECV) connector.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Check voltage between compressor (ECV) harness connector
F34 terminal 2 and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> Check power supply circuit and 10A fuse [No. 12,
located in the fuse block (J/B)]. Refer to PG-114, "
FUSE
BLOCK - JUNCTION BOX (J/B)" .
If fuse is OK, check harness for open circuit. Repair or replace if necessary.
If fuse is NG, check harness for short circuit and replace fuse.
Gauge indication Refrigerant cycle Probable cause Corrective action
Low-pressure side sometimes
becomes negative.
Air conditioning system
does not function and does
not cyclically cool the com-
partment air.
The system constantly func-
tions for a certain period of
time after compressor is
stopped and restarted.Refrigerant does not dis-
charge cyclically.
↓
Moisture is frozen at expan-
sion valve outlet and inlet.
↓
Water is mixed with refriger-
ant.
Drain water from refrigerant
or replace refrigerant.
Replace liquid tank.
AC354A
Gauge indication Refrigerant cycle Probable cause Corrective action
Low-pressure side becomes nega-
tive.
Liquid tank or front/rear side of
expansion valve’s pipe is
frosted or wet with dew.High-pressure side is closed
and refrigerant does not flow.
↓
Expansion valve or liquid tank
is frosted.Leave the system at rest until
no frost is present. Start it
again to check whether or not
the malfunction is caused by
water or foreign particles.
If water is the cause, initially
cooling is okay. Then the
water freezes causing a
blockage. Drain water from
refrigerant or replace refrig-
erant.
If due to foreign particles,
remove expansion valve
and remove the particles
with dry and compressed air
(not shop air).
If either of the above meth-
ods cannot correct the mal-
function, replace expansion
valve.
Replace liquid tank.
Check lubricant for contami-
nation.

COMPASS
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
Zone Variation Setting ProcedureNKS004F5
NOTE:
The zone setting is factory preset (“default” setting) to zone 8.
1. Press and hold the compass switch for 3 – 9 seconds.
2. The current zone setting appears on the compass display.
3. Find the current geographical location number in the Zone Varia-
tion Chart.
4. Select the new zone number. (Press the compass switch until
the new zone number appears on the compass display.)
5. After select the new zone number, the compass display will
automatically shows a direction within a few seconds.
6. Preform the following Calibration Procedure for more accurate
indications.
Calibration ProcedureNKS004F6
NOTE:
The compass calibrates itself under normal driving conditions. However, occasional circumstances may cause
the compass to operate inaccurately. Example: Driving from rural (wide open) areas to crowded city areas, or
if an aftermarket (i.e., non original equipment) antenna with a magnetic base is attached to the vehicle. Cali-
brate the mirror compass if the display shows only one direction or a limited number of directions.
NOTE:
If “magnetic hats” are used in the dealership for vehicle identification, remove the hat from the vehicle
before performing the following steps. Do NOT put the hat back on the vehicle after the procedure is com-
pleted.
Drive the vehicle to an open level area; away from large metallic objects, structures, and overhead power
lines.
Turn off “non-essential” electrical accessories (rear window defrost, heater/air conditioning, wipers) and
close the doors.
1. Verify the correct compass zone setting for the geographical location. Refer to DI-104, "
Zone Variation
Setting Procedure" .
2. Press and hold the compass switch for more than 9 seconds.
3. “C” is displayed on the compass display, when calibration starts.
4. Drive slowly [less than 8 km/h (5 mph)] in a circle until the “C / CAL” is replaced with primary headings (N,
NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, or NW).
NOTE:
This will require driving at least 2 complete 360 degree circles; 3 complete circles may be required.
5. The compass calibration procedure is now complete. The compass should operate normally.
NOTE:
If at any time the compass continually displays the incorrect direction or the reading is erratic or locked,
repeat the calibration procedure.
