Self-diagnosis
INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The self-diagnostic system diagnoses sensors, door motors,
blower motor, etc. by system line. Refer to applicable sections
(items) for details. Shifting from normal control to the self-diagnos-
tic system is accomplished by starting the engine (turning the igni-
tion switch from ``OFF'' to ``ON'') and pressing ``
'' switch for at
least 5 seconds. The ``
'' switch must be pressed within 5 sec-
onds after starting the engine (ignition switch is turned ``ON''). This
system will be canceled by either pressing
(AUTO) switch or
turning the ignition switch ``OFF''. Shifting from one step to another
is accomplished by means of turning temperature dial clockwise or
counterclockwise, as required.
Additionally shifting from STEP 4 to AUXILIARY MECHANISM is
accomplished by means of pushing
(fan) switch.

AUXILIARY MECHANISM: Temperature setting trimmer
The trimmer compensates for differences in range of  3ÉC between
temperature setting (displayed digitally) and temperature felt by
driver.
Operating procedures for this trimmer are as follows:
+Begin Self-diagnosis STEP 4 mode.
+Press
(fan) switch to set system in auxiliary mode.
+Turn temperature dial clockwise or counterclockwise as
desired. Temperature will change at a rate of 1ÉC each time a
switch is pressed.
When battery cable is disconnected, trimmer operation is can-
celed. Temperature set becomes that of initial condition, i.e.
0ÉC.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Component parts
Fan speed control system components are:
1) Auto amp.
2) Fan control amp.
3) A/C LAN system (PBR built in mode door motor and air mix door motor)
4) In-vehicle sensor
5) Ambient sensor
6) Sunload sensor
7) Intake sensor
System operation
Automatic mode
In the automatic mode, the blower motor speed is calculated by the automatic ampli®er based on inputs from
the PBR, in-vehicle sensor, sunload sensor, intake sensor and ambient sensor. The blower motor applied
voltage ranges from approximately 5 volts (lowest speed) to 12 volts (highest speed).
The control blower speed (in the range of 5 to 12V), the automatic ampli®er supplies a gate voltage to the fan
control ampli®er. Based on this voltage, the fan control ampli®er controls the voltage supplied to the blower
motor.
Starting fan speed control
Start up from ``COLD SOAK'' condition (Automatic mode)
In a cold start up condition where the engine coolant temperature is below 50ÉC, the blower will not operate
for a short period of time (up to 150 seconds). The exact start delay time varies depending on the ambient
and engine coolant temperature.
In the most extreme case (very low ambient) the blower starting delay will be 150 seconds as described above.
After this delay, the blower will operate at low speed until the engine coolant temperature rises above 55ÉC,
at which time the blower speed will increase to the objective speed.
Start up from normal or ``HOT SOAK'' condition (Automatic mode)
The blower will begin operation momentarily after the AUTO button is pushed. The blower speed will gradu-
ally rise to the objective speed over a time period of 3 seconds or less (actual time depends on the objective
blower speed).

3. Move probe along component approximately 25 to 50 mm (1 to
2 in)/sec.
CHECKING PROCEDURE
To prevent inaccurate or false readings, make sure there is no
refrigerant vapor or tobacco smoke in the vicinity of the
vehicle. Perform the leak test in calm area (low air/wind move-
ment) so that the leaking refrigerant is not dispersed.
1. Turn engine off.
2. Connect a suitable A/C manifold gauge set to the A/C service
ports.
3. Check if the A/C refrigerant pressure is at least 345 kPa (3.452
bar, 3.52 kg/cm
2, 50 psi) above 16ÉC (61ÉF). If less than
speci®cation, evacuate and recharge the system with the speci-
®ed amount of refrigerant.
NOTE: At temperatures below 16ÉC (61ÉF), leaks may not be
detected since the system may not reach 345 kPa
(3.452 bar, 3.52 kg/cm
2, 50 psi).
4. Conduct the leak test from the high side to the low side at points
in alphabetical order (j
a,jb......). Refer to HA-117.
Perform a leak check for the following areas carefully. Clean the
component to be checked and move the leak detector probe
completely around the connection/component.
+Compressor
Check the ®tting of high and low pressure hoses, relief valve
and shaft seal.
+Liquid tank
Check the pressure switch, tube ®tting, weld seams and the
fusible plug mounts.
+Service valves
Check all around the service valves. Ensure service valve caps
are secured on the service valves (to prevent leaks).
NOTE: After removing A/C manifold gauge set from service
valves, wipe any residue from valves to prevent any
false readings by leak detector.
+Cooling unit (Evaporator)
Turn blower fan on ``High'' for at least 15 seconds to dissipate
any refrigerant trace in the cooling unit. Insert the leak detector
probe into the drain hose immediately after stopping the
engine. (Keep the probe inserted for at least ten seconds.)
5. If a leak detector detects a leak, verify at least once by blowing
compressed air into area of suspected leak, then repeat check.
6. Do not stop when one leak is found. Continue to check for
additional leaks at all system components.
7. Start engine.
8. Set the heater A/C control as follows:
a. A/C switch ON
b. Face mode
c. Recirculation switch ON
d. Max cold temperature
e. Fan speed high

PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION ITEMS
MA-2

General maintenance includes those items which should be checked during the normal day-to-day operation
of the vehicle. They are essential if the vehicle is to continue operating properly. The owners can perform the
checks and inspections themselves or they can have their NISSAN dealers do them.
Item Reference pages
OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be performed from time to time, unless otherwise
speci®ed.
TiresCheck the pressure with a gauge periodically when at a service station, including the
spare, and adjust to the speci®ed pressure if necessary. Check carefully for damage, cuts or
excessive wear.Ð
Windshield wiper bladesCheck for cracks or wear if they do not wipe properly. Ð
Doors and engine hoodCheck that all doors, the engine hood, the trunk lid and back door
operate properly. Also ensure that all latches lock securely. Lubricate hinges, latches, rollers and
links if necessary. Make sure that the secondary latch keeps the hood from opening when the
primary latch is released.
When driving in areas using road salt or other corrosive materials, check for lubrication fre-
quently.MA-27
Tire rotationTires should be rotated every 5,000 km (3,000 miles) for 4WD models. MA-25
INSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked on a regular basis, such as when per-
forming periodic maintenance, cleaning the vehicle, etc.
LightsMake sure that the headlights, stop lights, tail lights, turn signal lights, and other lights
are all operating properly and installed securely. Also check headlight aim.Ð
Warning lights and chimesMake sure that all warning lights and chimes are operating prop-
erly.Ð
Steering wheelCheck for change in the steering conditions, such as excessive free play, hard
steering or strange noises.
Free play: Less than 35 mm (1.38 in)Ð
Seat beltsCheck that all parts of the seat belt system (e.g. buckles, anchors, adjusters and
retractors) operate properly and smoothly, and are installed securely. Check the belt webbing for
cuts, fraying, wear or damage.MA-27
UNDER THE HOOD AND VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked periodically e.g. each time you check the
engine oil or refuel.
