Crankshaft position sensor (POS) Engine speed
Fuel pump
controlFuel pump relay Camshaft position sensor (PHASE) Engine speed and cylinder number
Ignition switch Ignition signal and start signal
The ECM activates the fuel pump for several seconds after the ignition switch is turned on to improve engine
startability. If the ECM receives a 180É signal from the camshaft position sensor, it knows that the engine is
rotating, and causes the pump to perform. If the 180É signal is not received when the ignition switch is on, the
engine stalls. The ECM stops pump operation and prevents battery discharging, thereby improving safety. The
ECM does not directly drive the fuel pump. It controls the ON/OFF fuel pump relay, which in turn controls the
fuel pump.

Checking A/T FluidNJAT02281. Warm up engine.
2. Check for fluid leakage.
3. Before driving, fluid level can be checked at fluid temperatures
of 30 to 50ÉC (86 to 122ÉF) using ªCOLDº range on dipstick.
a. Park vehicle on level surface and set parking brake.
b. Start engine and move selector lever through each gear posi-
tion. Leave selector lever in ªPº position.
c. Check fluid level with engine idling.
d. Remove dipstick and note reading. If level is at low side of
either range, and fluid to the charging pipe.
e. Re-insert dipstick into charging pipe as far as it will go.
f. Remove dipstick and note reading. If reading is at low side of
range, add fluid to the charging pipe.
Do not overfill.
4. Drive vehicle for approximately 5 minutes in urban areas.
5. Re-check fluid level at fluid temperatures of 50 to 80ÉC (122
to 176ÉF) using ªHOTº range on dipstick.
SMA853B
6. Check fluid condition.
+If fluid is very dark or smells burned, refer to AT section for
checking operation of A/T. Flush cooling system after repair of
A/T.
+If A/T fluid contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.),
replace radiator and flush cooler line using cleaning solvent
and compressed air after repair of A/T. Refer to LC-16, ªRadia-
torº.

+When installing an air conditioner in the vehicle, connect the pipes as the final stage of the opera-
tion. Do not remove the seal caps of pipes and other components until just before required for
connection.
+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.
Lubricant name: Nissan A/C System Oil Type R for DKV-11G compressor
Part number: KLH00-PAGR0
Lubricant name: Nissan A/C System Oil Type S for CSV613 compressor
Part number: KLH00-PAGS0
+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 you hear it click, then tighten the nut or bolt by hand until snug. Make sure that
the O-ring is installed to tube correctly.
+After connecting line, conduct leak test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections.
When the gas 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 CompressorNJHA0116+Plug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering.
+When the compressor is removed, store it in the same position as it is when mounted on the car.
+When replacing or repairing compressor, follow ªMaintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compres-
sorº exactly. Refer to HA-86.
+Keep friction surfaces between clutch and pulley clean. If the surface is contaminated, with
lubricant, 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.

SERVICE COUPLERSNJHA0117S06Never attempt to connect HFC-134a (R-134a) service couplers to
an 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 contamina-
tion may occur.

REFRIGERANT WEIGHT SCALENJHA0117S07Verify that no refrigerant other than HFC-134a (R-134a) and speci-
fied lubricants have been used with the scale. If the scale controls
refrigerant flow electronically, the hose fitting must be 1/2²-16
ACME.
CALIBRATING ACR4 WEIGHT SCALENJHA0117S09Calibrate the scale every three months.
To calibrate the weight scale on the ACR4:
1. PressShift/ResetandEnterat the same time.
2. Press8787.ªA1º will be displayed.
3. Remove all weight from the scale.
4. Press0, then pressEnter.ª0.00º will be displayed and change
to ªA2º.
5. Place a known weight (dumbbell or similar weight), between
4.5 and 36.3 kg (10 and 80 lb) on the center of the weight
scale.
6. Enter the known weight using four digits. (Example 10 lb =
ª10.00º, 10.5 lb = ª10.50º)
7. PressEnterÐ the display returns to the vacuum mode.
8. PressShift/ResetandEnterat the same time.
9. Press6Ð the known weight on the scale is displayed.
10. Remove the known weight from the scale. ª0.00º will be dis-
played.
11. PressShift/Resetto return the ACR4 to the program mode.
CHARGING CYLINDERNJHA0117S08Using a charging cylinder is not recommended. Refrigerant may be
vented into air from cylinder's top valve when filling the cylinder
with refrigerant. Also, the accuracy of the cylinder is generally less
than that of an electronic scale or of quality recycle/recharge
equipment.

HFC-134a (R-134a) Service Tools and
Equipment
=NJHA0120Never mix HFC-134a refrigerant and/or its specified lubricant with CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and/or its lubri-
cant.
Separate and non-interchangeable service equipment must be used for handling each type of refrigerant/
lubricant.
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.
Adapters that convert one size fitting to another must never be used: refrigerant/lubricant contamination will
occur and compressor failure will result.
