lIf the vehicle is within the warranty period, the air conditioner warranty is void. Please contact NISSAN
Customer Affairs for further assistance.
General Refrigerant PrecautionsEJS00628
WARNING:
lDo not release refrigerant into the air. Use approved recovery/recycling equipment to capture the
refrigerant every time an air conditioning system is discharged.
lAlways wear eye and hand protection (goggles and gloves) when working with any refrigerant or
air conditioning system.
lDo not store or heat refrigerant containers above 52°C.
lDo not 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.
lDo not intentionally drop, puncture, or incinerate refrigerant containers.
lKeep refrigerant away from open flames: poisonous gas will be produced if refrigerant burns.
lRefrigerant will displace oxygen, therefore be certain to work in well ventilated areas to prevent
suffocation.
lDo not pressure test or leak test HFC-134a (R-134a) service equipment and/or vehicle air condi-
tioning 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 refriger-
ant manufacturers.
Precautions for Refrigerant ConnectionEJS005FL
A new type refrigerant connection has been introduced to all refrigerant lines except the following locations.
lExpansion valve to cooling unit
lEvaporator pipes to evaporator (inside cooling unit)
lRefrigerant pressure sensor
ABOUT ONE-TOUCH JOINT
Description
lOne-touch joints are pipe joints which do not require tools during piping connection.
lUnlike conventional connection methods using union nuts and flanges, controlling tightening torque at
connection point is not necessary.
lWhen removing a pipe joint, use a disconnector.

O-Ring Part Numbers and Specifications
*: Always check with the Parts Department for the latest parts information.
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.
lWhen the compressor is removed, store it in the same position as it is when mounted on the car.
Failure to do so will cause lubricant to enter the low pressure chamber.
lWhen connecting tubes, always use a torque wrench and a back-up wrench.
lAfter disconnecting tubes, immediately plug all openings to prevent entry of dirt and moisture.
lWhen 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.
lAllow components stored in cool areas to warm to working area temperature before removing seal
caps. This prevents condensation from forming inside A/C components.
lThoroughly remove moisture from the refrigeration system before charging the refrigerant.
lAlways replace used O-rings.
lWhen 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 Lubricant Type S (DH-PS) or equivalent
Part number: KLH00-PAGS0
lO-ring must be closely attached to dented portion of tube.
lWhen replacing the O-ring, be careful not to damage O-ring and tube.
lConnect 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.

Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in CompressorEJS005FV
The lubricant in the compressor circulates through the system with the refrigerant. Add lubricant to compres-
sor when replacing any component or after a large refrigerant leakage has occurred. It is important to maintain
the specified amount.
If lubricant quantity is not maintained properly, the following malfunctions may result:
lLack of lubricant: May lead to a seized compressor
lExcessive lubricant: Inadequate cooling (thermal exchange interference)
LUBRICANT
Name: NISSAN A/C System Lubricant Type S (DH-PS)
Part number: KLH00-PAGS0
CHECKING AND ADJUSTING
CAUTION:
If excessive lubricant leakage is noted, do not perform the lubricant return operation.
Start the engine and set the following conditions:
test condition
lEngine speed: Idling to 1,200 rpm
lA/C switch: On
lBlower speed: Max. position
lTemp. control: Optional [Set so that intake air temperature is 25°to 30°C(77°to 86°F).]
lIntake position: Recirculation ( )
lPerform lubricant return operation for about ten minutes
Adjust the lubricant quantity according to the following table.
Lubricant Adjusting Procedure for Components Replacement Except Compressor
After replacing any of the following major components, add the correct amount of lubricant to the system.
Amount of lubricant to be added
l*1: If refrigerant leak is small, no addition of lubricant is needed.
Lubricant Adjustment Procedure for Compressor Replacement
1. Before connecting recovery/recycling equipment to vehicle, check recovery/recycling equipment gauges.
No refrigerant pressure should be displayed. If NG, recover refrigerant from equipment lines.
2. Discharge refrigerant into the refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment. Measure lubricant discharged into
the recovery/recycling equipment.
3. Drain the lubricant from the “old” (removed) compressor into a graduated container and recover the
amount of lubricant drained.
4. Drain the lubricant from the “new” compressor into a separate, clean container.
5. Measure an amount of new lubricant installed equal to amount drained from “old” compressor. Add this
lubricant to “new” compressor through the suction port opening.
6. Measure an amount of new lubricant equal to the amount recovered during discharging. Add this lubricant
to “new” compressor through the suction port opening.
7. If the liquid tank also needs to be replaced, add an additional 5 m (0.2 Imp fl oz) of lubricant at this time.
Do not add this 5 m (0.2 Imp fl oz) of lubricant if only replacing the compressor.

AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL
AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL
PFP:27500
DescriptionEJS005FW
The front air control provides regulation of the vehicle's interior temperature. The system is based on the posi-
tion of the front air controls temperature switch selected by the driver. This is done by utilizing a microcom-
puter, also referred to as the front air control, which receives input signals from the following three sensors:
lIntake sensor
lPBR (Position Balanced Resistor).
The front air control uses these signals (including the set position of the temperature switch) to control:
lOutlet air volume
lAir temperature
lAir distribution
The front air control is used to select:
lOutlet air volume
lAir temperature/distribution
OperationEJS005FX
AIR MIX DOOR CONTROL
The air mix door is controlled so that in-vehicle temperature changed based on the position of the temperature
switch.
BLOWER SPEED CONTROL
Blower speed is controlled based on front blower switch settings.
When blower switch is turned, the blower motor starts and increases air flow volume each time the blower
switch is turned counterclockwise, and decreases air flow volume each time the blower switch is turned coun-
terclockwise.
When engine coolant temperature is low, the blower motor operation is delayed to prevent cool air from flow-
ing.
INTAKE DOORS CONTROL
The intake doors are controlled by the recirculation switch setting, and the mode (defroster) switch setting.
MODE DOOR CONTROL
The mode door is controlled by the position of the mode switch.
DEFROSTER DOOR CONTROL
The defroster door is controlled by: Turning the defroster dial to front defroster.

MAGNET CLUTCH CONTROL
When the A/C switch is pressed, or the mode switch is turned to the defroster position, the front air control out-
puts a compressor ON signal to BCM.
The BCM then sends a compressor ON signal to ECM, via CAN communication line.
ECM judges whether compressor can be turned ON, based on each sensor status (refrigerant pressure sen-
sor signal, throttle angle sensor, etc.). If it judges compressor can be turned ON, it sends compressor ON sig-
nal to IPDM E/R, via CAN communication line.
Upon receipt of compressor ON signal from ECM, IPDM E/R turns air conditioner relay ON to operate com-
pressor.
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
The self-diagnostic system is built into the front air control to quickly locate the cause of symptoms. Refer to
MTC-51, "
A/C System Self-diagnosis Function".

cally turned OFF. REC mode can be re-entered by pressing REC switch again.
lREC switch is not operated when DEF switch is turned ON, or at the D/F position.
REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER SWITCH
When switch is ON, rear window is defogged.
