CAUTION:
When replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components, observe the following.

When the compressor is removed, store it in the same way at it is when mounted on the car. Fail-
ure to do so will cause lubricant to enter the low-pressure chamber.

When connecting tubes, always use a torque wrench and a back-up wrench.

After disconnecting tubes, immediately plug all openings to prevent entry of dirt and moisture.

When installing an air conditioner in the vehicle, connect the pipes at the final stage of the opera-
tion. Never remove the seal caps of pipes and other components until just before required for con-
nection.

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 tubes, apply lubricant to circle of the O-rings shown in illustration. Be careful
not to apply lubricant to threaded portion.

O-ring must be closely attached to the groove of tube.

When replacing the O-ring, be careful not to damage O-ring and tube.

Connect tube until a click can be heard, then tighten the nut or bolt by hand until snug. Make sure
that the O-ring is installed to tube correctly.

After connecting line, perform leak test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections.
When the refrigerant 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 CompressorBJS000F8

Plug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering.

When the compressor is removed, store it in the same position at it is when mounted on the car.

When replacing or repairing compressor, follow “Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compres-
sor” exactly. Refer to AT C - 2 1 , "
Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compressor" .

Keep friction surfaces between clutch and pulley clean. If the surface is contaminated, with lubri-
cant, 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.Lubricant name : Nissan A/C System Oil Type S

REFRIGERATION SYSTEMPFP:KA990
Refrigerant CycleBJS000FF
REFRIGERANT FLOW
The refrigerant flows form the compressor through the condenser with liquid tank, through the evaporator, and
back to the compressor. The refrigerant evaporation in the evaporator is controlled by an externally equalized
expansion valve, located inside the evaporator case.
FREEZE PROTECTION
To prevent evaporator frozen up, the evaporator air temperature is monitored, and the voltage signal to the
unified meter and A/C amp. will make the A/C relay go OFF and stop the compressor.
Refrigerant System ProtectionBJS000FG
REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR
The refrigerant system is protected against excessively high- or low-pressure by the refrigerant pressure sen-
sor, located on the condenser. If the system pressure rises above, or falls below the specifications, the refrig-
erant pressure sensor detects the pressure inside the refrigerant line and sends the voltage signal to the ECM.
ECM makes the A/C relay go OFF and stops the compressor when pressure on the high-pressure side
detected by refrigerant pressure sensor is over about 2,746 kPa (27.46 bar, 28 kg/cm
2 , 398 psi), or below
about 134 kPa (1.34 bar, 1.4 kg/cm
2 , 20 psi).
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
The refrigerant system is also protected by a pressure relief valve, located in the rear head of the compressor.
When the pressure of refrigerant in the system increases to an unusual level [more than 3,727 kPa (37.27 bar,
38 kg/cm
2 , 540 psi)], the release port on the pressure relief valve automatically opens and releases refriger-
ant into the atmosphere.

LUBRICANTPFP:KLG00
Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in CompressorBJS000FI
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 occurred. It is important to maintain the
specified amount.
If lubricant quantity is not maintained properly, the following malfunctions may result:

Lack of lubricant: May lead to a seized compressor

Excessive lubricant: Inadequate cooling (thermal exchange interference)

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS

Self-diagnosis FunctionBJS000FX
DESCRIPTION
The self-diagnosis system diagnoses sensors, door motors, blower motor, etc. by system line. Refer to appli-
cable sections (items) for details. Shifting from usual control to the self-diagnosis system is accomplished by
starting the engine (turning the ignition switch ON) and pressing A/C switch for at least 5 seconds. The A/C
switch must be pressed within 10 seconds 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 to the next step is
accomplished by means of pressing temperature control switch (driver side), as required.
Additionally sifting from STEP-5 to AUXILIARY MECHANISM is accomplished by means of pressing (fan)
control switch (UP).
