INFOID:0000000009951773
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “A IR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severi ty of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. Information necessary to service t he system safely is included in the SR and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inoper ative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in
the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
• Improper maintenance, including in correct removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional act ivation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
• Do not use electrical test equipm ent on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identi fied by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.

PRECAUTIONS
• Use only specified oil for the HFC-134a (R-134a)
A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) components. If
oil other than that specified is used , compressor failure is likely to occur.
• The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) oi l rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The following
handling precautions must be observed:
- When removing refrigerant components from a vehicle, immediately cap (seal) the component to
minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere.
- When installing refrigerant co mponents to a vehicle, do not remove the caps (unseal) until just
before connecting the components . Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as possible
to minimize the entry of moisture into system.
- Only use the specified oil from a sealed container. Immediately reseal containers of oil. Without
proper sealing, oil will become moisture saturat ed and should not be used.
- Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and oil vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and throat.
Remove HFC-134a (R-134a) from the A/C system usin g certified service equipment meeting require-
ments of SAE J2210 [HFC-134a (R-134a) recycling equipment], or J2209 [HFC-134a (R-134a) recy-
cling equipment], If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming
service. Additional health and safety information may be obtain ed from refrigerant and oil manufac-
turers.
- Do not allow A/C oil to come in contact with styrofoam parts. Damage may result.
CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT
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 locati on 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.
Precaution for Service EquipmentINFOID:0000000009463088
MANIFOLD GAUGE SET

Component Description
A/C auto amp. A/C auto amp. controls front automatic air conditioning system by inputting and calculating signals
from each sensor and each switch.
A/C Compressor Vaporized refrigerant is drawn into the A/C compressor from the evaporator, where it is compressed
to a high pressure, high temperature vapor. The hot, compressed vapor is then discharged to the con-
denser.
A/C switch assembly The A/C switch assembly controls the operation of the A/C and heating system based on inputs from
the temperature control knob, the mode switches, the blower control dial, the ambient temperature
sensor, the intake sensor, and inputs received from the ECM across the CAN. Diagnosis of the A/C
switch assembly can be performed using the CONSULT. There is no self-diagnostic feature available.
Air mix door motor LH The air mix door controls the mix of hot or cold air that enters the ventilation system. It is controlled
by the A/C auto amp. based on the position of the temperature dial. The air mix door motor LH re-
ceives position commands from the A/C auto amp. and reports actual door position back via an LCU
(Local Control Unit) installed inside the motor. Commands and responses are sent across the LIN (Lo-
cal Interconnect Network) to each motor simultaneously, with each motor having its own unique ad-
dress, thereby only responding to requests sent to its specific address. The LCU reads the door
position from a Position Balanced Resistor (PBR), also part of the motor, and returns that information
to the A/C auto amp. The LCU switches the polarity of the circuits connected to the DC motor to drive
the motor forward or backward as requested by the A/C auto amp. If the air mix door moves to a po-
sition less than 5% or more than 95% of its expected or allowed positions, the A/C auto amp. will set
a DTC.

Ambient sensor The ambient sensor measures the temperature of the air surrounding the vehicle. The sensor uses a
thermistor which is sensitive to the change in temperature. The electrical resistance of the thermistor
decreases as temperature increases.
BCM The BCM receives the fan ON and A/C ON signals from the A/C auto amp. and sends a compressor
ON request to the ECM.
Blower motor The blower motor varies the speed at which the air flows through the ventilation system.
ECM The ECM sends a compressor ON request to the IPDM E/R based on the status of engine operation
and load as well as refrigerant pressure information. If all the conditions are met for A/C operation,
the ECM transmits the compressor ON request to the IPDM E/R. The ECM shares the refrigerant
pressure sensor signal, engine RPM, and engine coolant temperature with the A/C auto amp. via
CAN communication line.
Front blower motor relay The front blower motor relay controls the flow of current to fuse 17 and 27 in the Fuse Block (J/B).
The relay is connected directly to ground, and is energized when the ignition switch is in the ON or
START position.
Fuse Block (J/B) Located in the passenger compartment, behind the left lower IP, the Fuse Block (J/B) contains the
front blower motor relay and several fuses required for the air conditioner control system.
Intake door motor The intake door motor controls the position of the intake door. Fresh air is allowed to enter the cabin
in one position, and recirculated inside air is allowed to enter in the other position. At times the A/C
auto amp. may command partial fresh or recirculation based on evaporator or coolant temperatures.
The intake door motor receives position commands from the A/C auto amp. and reports actual door
position back via an LCU (Local Control Unit) installed inside the motor. Commands and responses
are sent across the LIN (Local Interconnect Network) to each motor simultaneously, with each motor
having its own unique address, thereby only responding to requests sent to its specific address. The
LCU reads the door position from a Position Balanced Resistor (PBR), also part of the motor, and re-
turns that information to the A/C auto amp. The LCU switches the polarity of the circuits connected to
the DC motor to drive the motor forward or backward as requested by the A/C auto amp. If the recir-
culation door moves to a position less than 5% or more than 95% of its expected or allowed positions,
the A/C auto amp. will set a DTC.
Intake sensor The intake sensor measures the temperature of the front evaporator fins. The sensor uses a ther-
mistor which is sensitive to the change in temperature. The electrical resistance of the thermistor de-
creases as temperature increases.
In-vehicle sensor In-vehicle sensor measures temperature of intake air that flows through aspirator to passenger room.
The sensor uses a thermistor which is sensitive to the change in temperature. The electrical resis-
tance of the thermistor decreases as temperature increases.
IPDM E/R Refer to PCS-6, "RELAY CONTROL SYSTEM : System Description"
.
Mode door motor The mode door controls the direction the conditioned air passes through the ventilation system.
Through a series of levers and gears, the mode door controls the defrost door, the foot door, and the
vent door. There are 5 preset positions: VENT, B/L, FOOT, D/F, and DEF. The FOOT position can be
set to allow some airflow through to the defroster vent, or to completely block the defroster vent using
the CONSULT. The mode door motor receives position commands from the A/C auto amp. and re-
ports actual door position back via an LCU (Local Control Unit) installed inside the motor. Commands
and responses are sent across the LIN (Local Interconnect Network) to each motor simultaneously,
with each motor having its own unique address, thereby only responding to requests sent to its spe-
cific address. The LCU reads the door position from a Position Balanced Resistor (PBR), also part of
the motor, and returns that information to the A/C auto amp. The LCU switches the polarity of the cir-
cuits connected to the DC motor to drive the motor forward or backward as requested by the A/C auto
amp. The mode door has 5 expected positions and, therefore, can set up to 5 DTCs if the expected
position is not reported back to the A/C auto amp.
