A/C SYSTEM SELF-DI AGNOSIS FUNCTION
The self-diagnosis function is built into the A/C auto amp. to quickly locate the cause of malfunctions.
DESCRIPTION
The self-diagnostic system diagnoses sensors, CAN system, and battery voltage on A/C auto amp. Refer to
applicable sections (items) for details. Fault codes (if any are present) will be displayed in the ambient temper-
ature display area. Refer to HAC-24, "
A/C System Self-Diagnosis Code Chart".
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC MODE
NOTE:
Radio must be off.
1. On the A/C and AV switch assembly, press the "SETTING" but- ton and twist the volume knob clockwise and counterclockwise
until the Self-Diagnosis screen shows on the display.
2. Scroll down to "Confirmation/Adjustment" and press the "ENTER" button.
3. Scroll down to "Climate Control" and press the "ENTER" button.
4. The fan bars will flash on the display during the self-test, and then the fault codes will display in the ambient temperature area.
They will continue scrolling until diagnostic mode is exited.
5. Exit by pressing the "BACK" button on A/C and AV switch assembly until display returns to its normal operation screen.
HVAC system will be OFF.
The self-diagnostic system diagnoses sensors, CAN system, and battery voltage on A/C auto amp. Refer to

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Air Mix Door Motors (front)
The driver (1) and passenger (2) air mix door motors are attached to
the front heater & cooling unit assembly. These motors rotate so that
the air mix door is opened or closed to a position set by the A/C auto
amp. Motor rotation is then conveyed through a shaft and the air mix
door position is then fed back to t
he A/C auto amp. by the PBR built
into the air mix door motors.
Air Mix Door Motor (rear)
The air mix door motor (rear) (1) is attached to the rear heater &
cooling unit assembly. These motors rotate so that the air mix door is
opened or closed to a position set by the front (or rear) air control.
Motor rotation is then conveyed through a shaft and the air mix door
position is then fed back to the A/C auto amp. by the PBR built into
the air mix door motors.

HAC-122
< PRECAUTION >[AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONER]
PRECAUTIONS
If a refrigerant other than pure HFC-134a (R-134a)
is identified in a vehicle, your options are:
• Explain to the customer that environmental regulations prohibit the release of contaminated refrigerant into
the atmosphere.
• Explain that recovery of the contaminated refri gerant could damage your service equipment and refrigerant
supply.
• Suggest the customer return the vehicle to the location of previous service where the contamination may
have occurred.
• If you choose to perform the repair, recover the refrigerant using only dedicated equipment and contain- ers. Do not recover contamin ated refrigerant into your existing service equipment. If your facility does
not have dedicated recovery equipment, you may contact a local refrigerant product retailer for available ser-
vice. This refrigerant must be disposed of in acco rdance 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.

MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
Be certain that the gauge face indicates R-134a or 134a. Make sure
the gauge set has 1/2 ″-16 ACME threaded connections for service
hoses. Confirm the set has been used only with refrigerant HFC-
134a (R-134a) along with specified oil.
SERVICE HOSES
Be certain that the service hoses display the markings described
(colored hose with black stripe). All hoses must include positive shut-
off devices (either manual or aut omatic) near the end of the hoses
opposite the manifold gauge.
SERVICE COUPLERS
Never attempt to connect HFC-134a (R-134a) service couplers to a
CFC-12 (R-12) A/C system. The HFC-134a (R-134a) couplers will
not properly connect to the CFC-12 (R-12) system. However, if an
improper connection is attempted, discharging and contamination
may occur.
