HRA2DDT : 12 minutes ZD30DDTT : 60 seconds
K9K engine : 4 minutes
M9R engine : 4 minutes
R9M engine : 4 minutes
SEF289H
V9X engine : 4 minutes
YD25DDTi : 2 minutes
NOTE:
ECU may be active for several tens of seconds after the ignition switch is turned OFF. If the battery terminal
is removed before ECU stops, then a DTC detection error or ECU data corruption may occur.
• After high-load driving, if the vehicle is equipped with the V9X engine, turn the ignition switch OFF and wait
for at least 15 minutes to remove the battery terminal.
NOTE:
• Turbocharger cooling pump may operate in a few minutes after the ignition switch is turned OFF.
• Example of high-load driving
- Driving for 30 minutes or more at 140 km/h (86 MPH) or more.
- Driving for 30 minutes or more on a steep slope.
• For vehicles with the 2-batteries, be sure to connect the main battery and the sub battery before turning ON
the ignition switch.
NOTE:
If the ignition switch is turned ON with any one of the terminals of main battery and sub battery discon-
nected, then DTC may be detected.
• After installing the 12V battery, always check "Self Diagnosis Result" of all ECUs and erase DTC.
NOTE:
The removal of 12V battery may cause a DTC detection error.
Precautions For Refrigerant System Service INFOID:0000000010451955

GENERAL REFRIGERANT PRECAUTION


WARNING:

HA-8
PRECAUTIONS
< PRECAUTION > [TYPE 1]
• Never breathe A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and
throat. Remove HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) from the A/C system, using certified service equipment meet- A
ing requirements of SAE J-2843 [HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) Recovery/Recycling/Recharging Equipment
for Flammable Refrigerants for Mobile Air Conditioning Systems]. Ventilate work area before resum-
ing service if accidental system discharge occurs. Additional health and safety information may be
B
obtained from refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
• Never release refrigerant into the air. Use approved recovery/recycling recharging equipment to cap-
ture the refrigerant each time an air conditioning system is discharged.
• Wear always eye and hand protection (goggles and gloves) when working with any refrigerant or air C
conditioning system.
• Never store or heat refrigerant containers above 52°C (126°F).
• Never heat a refrigerant container with an open flame; Place the bottom of the container in a warm D
pail of water if container warming is required.
• Never intentionally drop, puncture, or incinerate refrigerant containers.
• Keep refrigerant away from open flames: poisonous gas is produced if refrigerant burns.
• Refrigerant displaces oxygen, therefore be certain to work in well ventilated areas to prevent suffo- E
cation.
• Never pressure test or leakage test HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) service equipment and/or vehicle air con-
ditioning systems with compressed air during repair. Some mixtures of air and HFO-1234yf (R- F
1234yf) 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
refrigerant manufacturers.
G
WORKING WITH HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf)
CAUTION:
• CFC-12 (R-12) or HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant and HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) refrigerant are not com-
H
patible. Compressor malfunction is likely to occur if the refrigerants are mixed, refer to “CONTAMI-
NATED REFRIGERANT” below. To determine the purity of HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) in the vehicle and
recovery tank, use Refrigerant recovery/recycling recharging equipment and Refrigerant Identifier.
• Use only specified lubricant for the HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) A/C system and HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) HA
components. Compressor malfunction is likely to occur if lubricant other than that specified is used.
• The specified HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) lubricant rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The
following handling precautions must be observed: J
- Cap (seal) immediately the component to minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere when
removing refrigerant components from a vehicle.
- Never remove the caps (unseal) until just before connecting the components when installing refrig-
erant components to a vehicle. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as possible to K
minimize the entry of moisture into system.
- Use only the specified lubricant from a sealed container. Reseal immediately containers of lubricant.
Lubricant becomes moisture saturated and should not be used without proper sealing. L
- Never allow lubricant (ND-OIL 12) to come in contact with styrene foam parts. Damage may result.
CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT
Take appropriate steps shown below if a refrigerant other than pure HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) is identi- M
fied in a vehicle:
• Explain to the customer that environmental regulations prohibit the release of contaminated refrigerant into
the atmosphere.
• Explain that recovery of the contaminated refrigerant could damage service equipment and refrigerant sup- N
ply.
• Suggest the customer return the vehicle to the location of previous service where the contamination may
have occurred. O
• In case of repairing, recover the refrigerant using only dedicated equipment and containers. Never
recover contaminated refrigerant into the existing service equipment. Contact a local refrigerant prod-
uct retailer for available service if the facility does not have dedicated recovery equipment. This refrigerant
P
must be disposed of in accordance with all federal and local regulations. In addition, replacement of all
refrigerant system components on the vehicle is recommended.
• The air conditioner warranty is void if the vehicle is within the warranty period. Please contact Nissan Cus-
tomer Affairs for further assistance.
REFRIGERANT CONNECTION
A new type refrigerant connection has been introduced to all refrigerant lines except the following location.
• Expansion valve to evaporator

HA-9
PRECAUTIONS
< PRECAUTION > [TYPE 1]
• Refrigerant pressure sensor to high-pressure pipe1
WARNING:
Check that 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:
Observe the following when replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components.
• Store it in the same way at it is when mounted on the car when the compressor is removed. Failure
to do so will cause lubricant to enter the low-pressure chamber.
• Use always a torque wrench and a back-up wrench when connecting tubes.
• Plug immediately all openings to prevent entry of dust and moisture after disconnecting tubes.
• Connect the pipes at the final stage of the operation when installing an air conditioner in the vehicle.
Never 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.
• Remove thoroughly moisture from the refrigeration system before charging the refrigerant.
• Replace always used O-rings.
• Apply lubricant to circle of the O-rings shown in illustration when connecting tube. Be careful not to
apply lubricant to threaded portion.

Name : ND-OIL12
• O-ring must be closely attached to the groove portion of tube.
• Be careful not to damage O-ring and tube when replacing the O-ring.
• Connect tube until a click can be heard. Then tighten the nut or bolt by hand. Check that the O-ring is
installed to tube correctly.
• Perform leakage test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections after connecting line.
Disconnect that line and replace the O-ring when the refrigerant leaking point is found. Then tighten
connections of seal seat to the specified torque.

COMPRESSOR
CAUTION:
• Plug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering.
• Store it in the same way at it is when mounted on the car when the compressor is removed.
• Follow “Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compressor” exactly when replacing or repairing
compressor. Refer to HA-23, "Description".
• Keep friction surfaces between clutch and pulley clean. Wipe it off by using a clean waste cloth
moistened with thinner if the surface is contaminated with lubricant.
• Turn the compressor shaft by hand more than five turns in both directions after compressor service
operation. This distributes equally lubricant inside the compressor. Let the engine idle and operate
the compressor for one hour after the compressor is installed.
• Apply voltage to the new one and check for normal operation after replacing the compressor magnet
clutch.

Service Equipment INFOID:0000000010451956

A
RECOVERY/RECYCLING RECHARGING EQUIPMENT
Be certain to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for machine operation and machine maintenance. Never
introduce any refrigerant other than that specified into the machine. B
ELECTRICAL LEAK DETECTOR
Be certain to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for tester operation and tester maintenance.
C
VACUUM PUMP
The lubricant contained inside the vacuum pump is not compatible
with the specified lubricant for HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) A/C systems.
D
The vent side of the vacuum pump is exposed to atmospheric pres-
sure. So the vacuum pump lubricant may migrate out of the pump
into the service hose. This is possible when the pump is switched
OFF after evacuation (vacuuming) and hose is connected to it. E
To prevent this migration, use a manual valve placed near the hose-
to-pump connection, as per the following.
• Vacuum pumps usually have a manual isolator valve as part of the F
pump. Close this valve to isolate the service hose from the pump.
• Use a hose equipped with a manual shut-off valve near the pump
end for pumps without an isolator. Close the valve to isolate the
hose from the pump. G
• Disconnect the hose from the pump if the hose has an automatic
shut-off valve. As long as the hose is connected, the valve is open
and lubricating oil may migrate. H
Some one-way valves open when vacuum is applied and close
under no vacuum condition. Such valves may restrict the pump’s
ability to pull a deep vacuum and are not recommended.

MANIFOLD GAUGE SET


Be certain that the gauge face indicates HFO-1234yf or R-1234yf. Be sure the gauge set has 1/2″-16 ACME K
threaded connections for service hoses. Confirm the set has been used only with refrigerant HFO-1234yf (R-
1234yf) and specified lubricants.
SERVICE HOSES L
Be certain that the service hoses display the markings described. All hoses must equip positive shut-off
devices (either manual or automatic) near the end of the hoses opposite to the manifold gauge.
SERVICE COUPLERS M
Never attempt to connect HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) service couplers
to the CFC-12 (R-12) and HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system. The
HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) couplers do not properly connect to the N
CFC-12 (R-12) and HFC-134a (R-134a) system. However, if an
improper connection is attempted, discharging and contamination

REFRIGERANT CYCLE
Refrigerant Flow
The refrigerant from the compressor, flows the condenser with liquid tank, the evaporator, and returns to the K
compressor. The refrigerant evaporation in the evaporator is controlled by an expansion valve.
Freeze Protection
When intake sensor detects that evaporator surface temperature is 2°C (36°F) or less, A/C auto amp. (Auto- L
matic air conditioning) or A/C amp. (Manual air conditioning) requests ECM to turn the compressor OFF, and
ECM makes A/C relay to OFF, and stops the compressor.
REFRIGERANT SYSTEM PROTECTION M

Refrigerant Pressure Sensor


• The refrigerant system is protected against excessively high- or low-pressures by the refrigerant pressure
N
sensor, installed at the high-pressure pipe 1. The refrigerant pressure sensor detects the pressure inside the
refrigerant line and sends the voltage signal to the ECM if the system pressure rises above, or falls below
the specifications.
• ECM turns the A/C relay to OFF and stops the compressor when the high-pressure side detected by refriger- O
ant pressure sensor is following conditions;
- Approximately 3,120 kPa (31.2 bar, 31.8 kg/cm2, 452 psi) or more (Engine speed is less than 1,500 rpm.)
- Approximately 2,740 kPa (27.4 bar, 27.9 kg/cm2, 397 psi) or more (Engine speed is 1,500 rpm or more.) P
- Approximately 140 kPa (1.4 bar, 1.4 kg/cm2, 20 psi) or less
Pressure Relief Valve
The refrigerant system is also protected by a pressure relief valve, located in the rear head of the compressor.
The release port on the pressure relief valve automatically opens and releases refrigerant into the atmosphere
when the pressure of refrigerant in the system increases to an unusual level [more than 3,800 kPa (38 bar,
38.8 kg/cm2, 551 psi)].

WARNING:
Never check refrigerant leakage while the engine is running.
CAUTION:
Be careful of the following items so that inaccurate checks or misidentifications are avoided.
• Never allow refrigerant vapor, shop chemical vapors, cigarette smoke, or others around the vehicle.
• Always check refrigerant leakage in a low air flow environment so that refrigerant may not disperse
when leakage occurs.
1. Stop the engine.
2. Connect recovery/recycling/recharging equipment or manifold gauge set to A/C service valve.
3. Check that A/C refrigerant pressure is 345 kPa (3.45 bar, 3.52 kg/cm2, 50 psi) or more when temperature
is 16°C (61°F) or more. When pressure is lower than the specified value, recycle refrigerant completely
and fill refrigerant to the specified level.
NOTE:
Leakages may not be detected if A/C refrigerant pressure is 345 kPa (3.45 bar, 3.52 kg/cm2, 50 psi) or
less when temperature is less than 16°C (61°F).
4. Clean area where refrigerant leakage check is performed, and check refrigerant leakage along all sur-
faces of pipe connections and A/C system components using electrical leak detector probe.
CAUTION:
• Continue checking when a leakage is found. Always continue and complete checking along all
pipe connections and A/C system components for additional leakage.
• When a leakage is detected, clean leakage area using compressed air and check again.
• When checking leakage of cooling unit inside, always clean inside of drain hose so that the
probe surface may not be exposed to water or dirt.
NOTE:

HA-20
REFRIGERANT
< BASIC INSPECTION > [TYPE 1]
• Always check leakage starting from high-pressure side and continue to low-pressure side.
• When checking leakage of cooling unit inside, operate blower fan motor for 15 minutes or more at the A
maximum fan speed while the engine is stopped, and then insert electrical leak detector probe into drain
hose and hold for 10 minutes or more.
• When disconnecting shut-off valve that is connected to A/C service valve, always evacuate remaining
B
refrigerant so that misidentification can be avoided.
5. Repair or replace parts where refrigerant leakage is detected. (Leakage is detected but leakage area is
unknown. GO TO 6.)

6. Start the engine and set A/C control in the following conditions.
• A/C switch ON
• Air flow: VENT (ventilation)
• Intake door position: Recirculation D
• Temperature setting: Full cold
• Fan speed: Maximum speed set
7. Run the engine at approximately 1,500 rpm for 2 minutes or more. E
8. Stop the engine. Check again for refrigerant leakage. GO TO 4.
WARNING:
Never get burned when the engine is hot. F
NOTE:
• Start refrigerant leakage check immediately after the engine is
stopped.
G
• When refrigerant circulation is stopped, pressure on the low-
pressure side rises gradually, and after this, pressure on the
high-pressure side falls gradually.
• The higher the pressure is, the easier it is to find the refriger- H
ant leakage.

Trouble Diagnosis For Unusual Pressure INFOID:0000000010451978

Diagnose using a manifold gauge whenever system’s high and/or low side pressure(s) is/are unusual. The
marker above the gauge scale in the following tables indicates the standard (usual) pressure range. Refer to
above table (Ambient air temperature-to-operating pressure table) since the standard (usual) pressure, how-
ever, differs from vehicle to vehicle.

Precautions For Refrigerant System Service INFOID:0000000010501582

GENERAL REFRIGERANT PRECAUTION


WARNING:
• Never breathe A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and
throat. Remove HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) from the A/C system, using certified service equipment meet-
ing requirements of SAE J-2843 [HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) Recovery/Recycling/Recharging Equipment
for Flammable Refrigerants for Mobile Air Conditioning Systems]. Ventilate work area before resum-
ing service if accidental system discharge occurs. Additional health and safety information may be
obtained from refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
• Never release refrigerant into the air. Use approved recovery/recycling recharging equipment to cap-
ture the refrigerant each time an air conditioning system is discharged.
• Wear always eye and hand protection (goggles and gloves) when working with any refrigerant or air
conditioning system.
• Never store or heat refrigerant containers above 52°C (126°F).
• Never heat a refrigerant container with an open flame; Place the bottom of the container in a warm
pail of water if container warming is required.
• Never intentionally drop, puncture, or incinerate refrigerant containers.
• Keep refrigerant away from open flames: poisonous gas is produced if refrigerant burns.
• Refrigerant displaces oxygen, therefore be certain to work in well ventilated areas to prevent suffo-
cation.
• Never pressure test or leakage test HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) service equipment and/or vehicle air con-
ditioning systems with compressed air during repair. Some mixtures of air and HFO-1234yf (R-
1234yf) 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
refrigerant manufacturers.
WORKING WITH HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf)
CAUTION:
• CFC-12 (R-12) or HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant and HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) refrigerant are not com-
patible. Compressor malfunction is likely to occur if the refrigerants are mixed, refer to “CONTAMI-
NATED REFRIGERANT” below. To determine the purity of HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) in the vehicle and
recovery tank, use Refrigerant recovery/recycling recharging equipment and Refrigerant Identifier.
• Use only specified lubricant for the HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) A/C system and HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf)
components. Compressor malfunction is likely to occur if lubricant other than that specified is used.
• The specified HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) lubricant rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The
following handling precautions must be observed:
- Cap (seal) immediately the component to minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere when
removing refrigerant components from a vehicle.

HA-52
PRECAUTIONS
< PRECAUTION > [TYPE 2]
- Never remove the caps (unseal) until just before connecting the components when installing refrig-
erant components to a vehicle. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as possible to A
minimize the entry of moisture into system.
- Use only the specified lubricant from a sealed container. Reseal immediately containers of lubricant.
Lubricant becomes moisture saturated and should not be used without proper sealing.
B
- Never allow lubricant (ND-OIL 12) to come in contact with styrene foam parts. Damage may result.
CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT
Take appropriate steps shown below if a refrigerant other than pure HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) is identi- C
fied in a vehicle:
• Explain to the customer that environmental regulations prohibit the release of contaminated refrigerant into
the atmosphere.
• Explain that recovery of the contaminated refrigerant could damage service equipment and refrigerant sup- D
ply.
• Suggest the customer return the vehicle to the location of previous service where the contamination may
have occurred. E
• In case of repairing, recover the refrigerant using only dedicated equipment and containers. Never
recover contaminated refrigerant into the existing service equipment. Contact a local refrigerant prod-
uct retailer for available service if the facility does not have dedicated recovery equipment. This refrigerant
must be disposed of in accordance with all federal and local regulations. In addition, replacement of all F
refrigerant system components on the vehicle is recommended.
• The air conditioner warranty is void if the vehicle is within the warranty period. Please contact Nissan Cus-
tomer Affairs for further assistance. G
REFRIGERANT CONNECTION
A new type refrigerant connection has been introduced to all refrigerant lines except the following location.
• Expansion valve to evaporator H
• Refrigerant pressure sensor to high-pressure pipe 1
WARNING:
Check that all refrigerant is discharged into the recycling equipment and the pressure in the system is HA
less than atmospheric pressure. Then gradually loosen the discharge side hose fitting and remove it.
CAUTION:
Observe the following when replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components.
J
• Store it in the same way at it is when mounted on the car when the compressor is removed. Failure
to do so will cause lubricant to enter the low-pressure chamber.
• Use always a torque wrench and a back-up wrench when connecting tubes.
• Plug immediately all openings to prevent entry of dust and moisture after disconnecting tubes. K
• Connect the pipes at the final stage of the operation when installing an air conditioner in the vehicle.
Never 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 L
caps. This prevents condensation from forming inside A/C components.
• Remove thoroughly moisture from the refrigeration system before charging the refrigerant.
• Replace always used O-rings.
• Apply lubricant to circle of the O-rings shown in illustration when connecting tube. Be careful not to M
apply lubricant to threaded portion.

Name : ND-OIL12 N
• O-ring must be closely attached to the groove portion of tube.
• Never damage O-ring and tube when replacing the O-ring.
• Connect tube until a click can be heard. Then tighten the nut or bolt by hand. Check that the O-ring is O
installed to tube correctly.

HA-53
PRECAUTIONS
< PRECAUTION > [TYPE 2]
• Perform leakage test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections after connecting line.
Disconnect that line and replace the O-ring when the refrigerant leaking point is found. Then tighten
connections of seal seat to the specified torque.

RHA861F

COMPRESSOR
CAUTION:
• Plug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering.
• Store it in the same way at it is when mounted on the car when the compressor is removed.
• Follow “Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compressor” exactly when replacing or repairing
compressor. Refer to HA-66, "Description".
• Keep friction surfaces between clutch and pulley clean. Wipe it off by using a clean waste cloth
moistened with thinner if the surface is contaminated with lubricant.
• Turn the compressor shaft by hand more than five turns in both directions after compressor service
operation. This distributes equally lubricant inside the compressor. Let the engine idle and operate
the compressor for one hour after the compressor is installed.
• Apply voltage to the new one and check for normal operation after replacing the compressor magnet
clutch.

RECOVERY/RECYCLING RECHARGING EQUIPMENT


Be certain to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for machine operation and machine maintenance. Never
introduce any refrigerant other than that specified into the machine.
ELECTRICAL LEAK DETECTOR
Be certain to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for tester operation and tester maintenance.
VACUUM PUMP

HA-54
PRECAUTIONS
< PRECAUTION > [TYPE 2]
The lubricant contained inside the vacuum pump is not compatible
with the specified lubricant for HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) A/C systems. A
The vent side of the vacuum pump is exposed to atmospheric pres-
sure. So the vacuum pump lubricant may migrate out of the pump
into the service hose. This is possible when the pump is switched
B
OFF after evacuation (vacuuming) and hose is connected to it.
To prevent this migration, use a manual valve placed near the hose-
to-pump connection, as per the following.
• Vacuum pumps usually have a manual isolator valve as part of the C
pump. Close this valve to isolate the service hose from the pump.
• Use a hose equipped with a manual shut-off valve near the pump
end for pumps without an isolator. Close the valve to isolate the D
hose from the pump.
• Disconnect the hose from the pump if the hose has an automatic
shut-off valve. As long as the hose is connected, the valve is open
and lubricating oil may migrate. E
Some one-way valves open when vacuum is applied and close
under no vacuum condition. Such valves may restrict the pump’s
ability to pull a deep vacuum and are not recommended. F

RHA270DA

MANIFOLD GAUGE SET


Be certain that the gauge face indicates HFO-1234yf or R-1234yf. Be sure the gauge set has 1/2″-16 ACME H
threaded connections for service hoses. Confirm the set has been used only with refrigerant HFO-1234yf (R-
1234yf) and specified lubricants.
SERVICE HOSES HA
Be certain that the service hoses display the markings described. All hoses must equip positive shut-off
devices (either manual or automatic) near the end of the hoses opposite to the manifold gauge.
SERVICE COUPLERS J
Never attempt to connect HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) service couplers
to the CFC-12 (R-12) and HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system. The
HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) couplers do not properly connect to the K
CFC-12 (R-12) and HFC-134a (R-134a) system. However, if an
improper connection is attempted, discharging and contamination
may occur. L

REFRIGERANT WEIGHT SCALE N


Verify that no refrigerant other than HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) and specified lubricants have been used with the
scale. The hose fitting must be 1/2″-16 ACME if the scale controls refrigerant flow electronically.
CHARGING CYLINDER O
Using 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. P

REFRIGERANT CYCLE
Refrigerant Flow
The refrigerant from the compressor, flows the condenser with liquid tank, the evaporator, and returns to the
compressor. The refrigerant evaporation in the evaporator is controlled by an expansion valve.
Freeze Protection
When intake sensor detects that evaporator surface temperature is 2°C (36°F) or less, A/C auto amp. (Auto-
matic air conditioning) or A/C amp. (Manual air conditioning) requests ECM to turn the compressor OFF, and
ECM makes A/C relay to OFF, and stops the compressor.
REFRIGERANT SYSTEM PROTECTION
Refrigerant Pressure Sensor
• The refrigerant system is protected against excessively high- or low-pressures by the refrigerant pressure
sensor, installed at the high-pressure pipe 1. The refrigerant pressure sensor detects the pressure inside the
refrigerant line and sends the voltage signal to the ECM if the system pressure rises above, or falls below
the specifications.
• ECM turns the A/C relay to OFF and stops the compressor when the high-pressure side detected by refriger-
ant pressure sensor is following conditions;
- Approximately 3,120 kPa (31.2 bar, 31.8 kg/cm2, 452 psi) or more (Engine speed is less than 1,500 rpm.)
- Approximately 2,740 kPa (27.4 bar, 27.9 kg/cm2, 397 psi) or more (Engine speed is 1,500 rpm or more.)
- Approximately 140 kPa (1.4 bar, 1.4 kg/cm2, 20 psi) or less
Pressure Relief Valve
The refrigerant system is also protected by a pressure relief valve, located in the rear head of the compressor.
The release port on the pressure relief valve automatically opens and releases refrigerant into the atmosphere
when the pressure of refrigerant in the system increases to an unusual level [more than 3,800 kPa (38 bar,
38.8 kg/cm2, 551 psi)].

CHECK REFRIGERANT LEAKAGE USING ELECTRICAL LEAK DETECTOR


WARNING: K
Never check refrigerant leakage while the engine is running.
CAUTION:
Be careful of the following items so that inaccurate checks or misidentifications are avoided. L
• Never allow refrigerant vapor, shop chemical vapors, cigarette smoke, or others around the vehicle.
• Always check refrigerant leakage in a low air flow environment so that refrigerant may not disperse
when leakage occurs.
M
1. Stop the engine.
2. Connect recovery/recycling/recharging equipment or manifold gauge set to A/C service valve.
3. Check that A/C refrigerant pressure is 345 kPa (3.45 bar, 3.52 kg/cm2, 50 psi) or more when temperature N
is 16°C (61°F) or more. When pressure is lower than the specified value, recycle refrigerant completely
and fill refrigerant to the specified level.
NOTE:
O
Leakages may not be detected if A/C refrigerant pressure is 345 kPa (3.45 bar, 3.52 kg/cm2, 50 psi) or
less when temperature is less than 16°C (61°F).
4. Clean area where refrigerant leakage check is performed, and check refrigerant leakage along all sur-
P
faces of pipe connections and A/C system components using electrical leak detector probe.
CAUTION:
• Continue checking when a leakage is found. Always continue and complete checking along all
pipe connections and A/C system components for additional leakage.
• When a leakage is detected, clean leakage area using compressed air and check again.
• When checking leakage of cooling unit inside, always clean inside of drain hose so that the
probe surface may not be exposed to water or dirt.
NOTE:

HA-63
REFRIGERANT
< BASIC INSPECTION > [TYPE 2]
• Always check leakage starting from high-pressure side and continue to low-pressure side.
• When checking leakage of cooling unit inside, operate blower fan motor for 15 minutes or more at the
maximum fan speed while the engine is stopped, and then insert electrical leak detector probe into drain
hose and hold for 10 minutes or more.
• When disconnecting shut-off valve that is connected to A/C service valve, always evacuate remaining
refrigerant so that misidentification can be avoided.
5. Repair or replace parts where refrigerant leakage is detected. (Leakage is detected but leakage area is
unknown. GO TO 6.)
6. Start the engine and set A/C control in the following conditions.
• A/C switch ON
• Air flow: VENT (ventilation)
• Intake door position: Recirculation
• Temperature setting: Full cold
• Fan speed: Maximum speed set
7. Run the engine at approximately 1,500 rpm for 2 minutes or more.
8. Stop the engine. Check again for refrigerant leakage. GO TO 4.
WARNING:
Never get burned when the engine is hot.
NOTE:
• Start refrigerant leakage check immediately after the engine is
stopped.
• When refrigerant circulation is stopped, pressure on the low-
pressure side rises gradually, and after this, pressure on the
high-pressure side falls gradually.
• The higher the pressure is, the easier it is to find the refriger-
ant leakage.

Recycle Refrigerant INFOID:0000000010501556

WARNING:
• Always use HFO-1234yf for A/C refrigerant. If CFC-12 or HFC-134a is accidentally charged, compres-
sor is damaged due to insufficient lubrication.
• Always observe and follow precautions described on refrigerant container. Incorrect handling may
result in an explosion of refrigerant container, frostbite, or the loss of eyesight.
• Never breathe A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose, or
throat.
• Never allow HFO-1234yf to be exposed to an open flame or others because it generates poisonous
gas when in contact with high temperature objects. Keep workshop well ventilated.
1. Perform lubricant return operation. Refer to HA-66, "Perform Lubricant Return Operation". (If refrigerant or
lubricant leakage is detected in a large amount, omit this step, and then GO TO 2.)
CAUTION:
Never perform lubricant return operation if a large amount of refrigerant or lubricant leakage is
detected.
2. Check gauge pressure readings of recovery/recycling/recharging equipment. When remaining pressure
exists, recycle refrigerant from high-pressure hose and low-pressure hose.
NOTE:
Follow manufacturer instructions for the handling or maintenance of the equipment. Never fill the equip-
ment with non-specified refrigerant.
3. Remove A/C service valve cap from the vehicle.
4. Connect recovery/recycling/recharging equipment to A/C service valve.
5. Operate recovery/recycling/recharging equipment, and recycle refrigerant from the vehicle.
6. Evacuate air for 10 minutes or more to remove any remaining refrigerant integrated to compressor lubri-
cant, etc.
7. Refrigerant recycle operation is complete.

Precautions For Refrigerant System Service INFOID:0000000010704928

GENERAL REFRIGERANT PRECAUTION


WARNING:
• Never breathe A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and
throat. Remove HFC-134a (R-134a) from the A/C system, using certified service equipment meeting
requirements of SAE J-2210 [HFC-134a (R-134a) recycling equipment], or J-2209 [HFC-134a (R-134a)
recovery equipment]. Ventilate work area before resuming service if accidental system discharge
occurs. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and lubricant
manufacturers.
• Never release refrigerant into the air. Use approved recovery/recycling recharging equipment to cap-
ture the refrigerant each time an air conditioning system is discharged.
• Wear always eye and hand protection (goggles and gloves) when working with any refrigerant or air
conditioning system.
• Never store or heat refrigerant containers above 52°C (126°F).
• Never heat a refrigerant container with an open flame; Place the bottom of the container in a warm
pail of water if container warming is required.
• Never intentionally drop, puncture, or incinerate refrigerant containers.
• Keep refrigerant away from open flames: poisonous gas is produced if refrigerant burns.
• Refrigerant displaces oxygen, therefore be certain to work in well ventilated areas to prevent suffo-
cation.
• Never pressure test or leakage 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.
WORKING WITH HFC-134a (R-134a)
CAUTION:
• CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant are not compatible. Compressor mal-
function is likely to occur if the refrigerants are mixed, refer to “CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT”
below. To determine the purity of HFC-134a (R-134a) in the vehicle and recovery tank, use Refriger-
ant recovery/recycling recharging equipment and Refrigerant Identifier.
HA-96
PRECAUTIONS
< PRECAUTION > [TYPE 3]
• Use only specified lubricant for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) compo-
nents. Compressor malfunction is likely to occur if lubricant other than that specified is used. A
• The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) lubricant rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The fol-
lowing handling precautions must be observed:
- Cap (seal) immediately the component to minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere when
B
removing refrigerant components from a vehicle.
- Never remove the caps (unseal) until just before connecting the components when installing refrig-
erant components to a vehicle. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as possible to
minimize the entry of moisture into system. C
- Use only the specified lubricant from a sealed container. Reseal immediately containers of lubricant.
Lubricant becomes moisture saturated and should not be used without proper sealing.
- Never allow lubricant to come in contact with styrene foam parts. Damage may result. D
CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT
Take appropriate steps shown below if a refrigerant other than pure HFC-134a (R-134a) is identified in
a vehicle: E
• Explain to the customer that environmental regulations prohibit the release of contaminated refrigerant into
the atmosphere.
• Explain that recovery of the contaminated refrigerant could damage service equipment and refrigerant sup-
ply. F
• Suggest the customer return the vehicle to the location of previous service where the contamination may
have occurred.
• In case of repairing, recover the refrigerant using only dedicated equipment and containers. Never G
recover contaminated refrigerant into the existing service equipment. Contact a local refrigerant prod-
uct retailer for available service if the facility does not have dedicated recovery equipment. This refrigerant
must be disposed of in accordance with all federal and local regulations. In addition, replacement of all
H
refrigerant system components on the vehicle is recommended.
• The air conditioner warranty is void if the vehicle is within the warranty period. Please contact Nissan Cus-
tomer Affairs for further assistance.
HA
REFRIGERANT CONNECTION
A new type refrigerant connection has been introduced to all refrigerant lines except the following location.
• Expansion valve to evaporator
• Refrigerant pressure sensor to high-pressure pipe 1 J
WARNING:
Check that 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. K
CAUTION:
Observe the following when replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components.
• Store it in the same way at it is when mounted on the car when the compressor is removed. Failure L
to do so will cause lubricant to enter the low-pressure chamber.
• Use always a torque wrench and a back-up wrench when connecting tubes.
• Plug immediately all openings to prevent entry of dust and moisture after disconnecting tubes.
• Connect the pipes at the final stage of the operation when installing an air conditioner in the vehicle. M
Never 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. N
• Remove thoroughly moisture from the refrigeration system before charging the refrigerant.
• Replace always used O-rings.
• Apply lubricant to circle of the O-rings shown in illustration when connecting tube. Be careful not to
apply lubricant to threaded portion. O
• O-ring must be closely attached to the groove portion of tube.
• Never damage O-ring and tube when replacing the O-ring.
• Connect tube until a click can be heard. Then tighten the nut or bolt by hand. Check that the O-ring is P
installed to tube correctly.

HA-97
PRECAUTIONS
< PRECAUTION > [TYPE 3]
• Perform leakage test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections after connecting line.
Disconnect that line and replace the O-ring when the refrigerant leaking point is found. Then tighten
connections of seal seat to the specified torque.

RHA861F

COMPRESSOR
CAUTION:
• Plug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering.
• Store it in the same way at it is when mounted on the car when the compressor is removed.
• Follow “Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compressor” exactly when replacing or repairing
compressor. Refer to HA-113, "Description".
• Keep friction surfaces between clutch and pulley clean. Wipe it off by using a clean waste cloth
moistened with thinner if the surface is contaminated with lubricant.
• Turn the compressor shaft by hand more than five turns in both directions after compressor service
operation. This distributes equally lubricant inside the compressor. Let the engine idle and operate
the compressor for one hour after the compressor is installed.
• Apply voltage to the new one and check for normal operation after replacing the compressor magnet
clutch.
LEAK DETECTION DYE
CAUTION:
• The A/C system contains a fluorescent leak detection dye used for locating refrigerant leakages. An
ultraviolet (UV) lamp is required to illuminate the dye when inspecting for leakages.
• Wear always fluorescence enhancing UV safety goggles to protect eyes and enhance the visibility of
the fluorescent dye.
• The fluorescent dye leak detector is not a replacement for an electrical leak detector (SST: J-41995).
The fluorescent dye leak detector should be used in conjunction with an electrical leak detector
(SST: J-41995) to pin-point refrigerant leakages.
• Read and follow all manufacture’s operating instructions and precautions prior to performing the
work for the purpose of safety and customer’s satisfaction.
• A compressor shaft seal should not necessarily be repaired because of dye seepage. The compres-
sor shaft seal should only be repaired after confirming the leakage with an electrical leak detector
(SST: J-41995).
• Remove always any remaining dye from the leakage area after repairs are completed to avoid a mis-
diagnosis during a future service.
• Never allow dye to come into contact with painted body panels or interior components. Clean imme-
diately with the approved dye cleaner if dye is spilled. Fluorescent dye left on a surface for an
extended period of time cannot be removed.
• Never spray the fluorescent dye cleaning agent on hot surfaces (engine exhaust manifold, etc.).
• Never use more than one refrigerant dye bottle [1/4 ounce (7.4 cc)] per A/C system.
• Leak detection dyes for HFC-134a (R-134a) and CFC-12 (R-12) A/C systems are different. Never use
HFC-134a (R-134a) leak detection dye in CFC-12 (R-12) A/C system, or CFC-12 (R-12) leak detection
dye in HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system, or A/C system damage may result.
• The fluorescent properties of the dye remains for three or more years unless a compressor malfunc-
tion occurs.

RECOVERY/RECYCLING RECHARGING EQUIPMENT


Be certain to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for machine operation and machine maintenance. Never C
introduce any refrigerant other than that specified into the machine.
ELECTRICAL LEAK DETECTOR
Be certain to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for tester operation and tester maintenance. D

VACUUM PUMP
The lubricant contained inside the vacuum pump is not compatible E
with the specified lubricant for HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C systems.
The vent side of the vacuum pump is exposed to atmospheric pres-
sure. So the vacuum pump lubricant may migrate out of the pump
into the service hose. This is possible when the pump is switched F
OFF after evacuation (vacuuming) and hose is connected to it.
To prevent this migration, use a manual valve placed near the hose-
to-pump connection, as per the following. G
• Vacuum pumps usually have a manual isolator valve as part of the
pump. Close this valve to isolate the service hose from the pump.
• Use a hose equipped with a manual shut-off valve near the pump
end for pumps without an isolator. Close the valve to isolate the H
hose from the pump.
• Disconnect the hose from the pump if the hose has an automatic
shut-off valve. As long as the hose is connected, the valve is open HA
and lubricating oil may migrate.
Some one-way valves open when vacuum is applied and close
under no vacuum condition. Such valves may restrict the pump’s
ability to pull a deep vacuum and are not recommended. J

REFRIGERANT CYCLE
Refrigerant Flow
The refrigerant from the compressor, flows the condenser with liquid tank, the evaporator, and returns to the
compressor. The refrigerant evaporation in the evaporator is controlled by an expansion valve.
Freeze Protection
To prevent evaporator from freezing up, the evaporator air temperature is monitored, and the voltage signal to
the A/C auto amp. makes the A/C relay go OFF and stop the compressor.
REFRIGERANT SYSTEM PROTECTION
Refrigerant Pressure Sensor
• The refrigerant system is protected against excessively high- or low-pressures by the refrigerant pressure
sensor, located on the high-pressure pipe 1. The refrigerant pressure sensor detects the pressure inside the
refrigerant line and sends the voltage signal to the ECM if the system pressure rises above, or falls below
the specifications.
• ECM turns the A/C relay to OFF and stops the compressor when the high-pressure side detected by refriger-
ant pressure sensor is following conditions;
- Approximately 3,120 kPa (31.2 bar, 31.8 kg/cm2, 452 psi) or more (Engine speed is 1,500 rpm or more.)
- Approximately 2,740 kPa (27.4 bar, 27.9 kg/cm2, 397 psi) or more (Engine speed is less than 1,500 rpm.)
- Approximately 140 kPa (1.4 bar, 1.2 kg/cm2, 17 psi) or less
Pressure Relief Valve
The refrigerant system is also protected by a pressure relief valve, located in the rear head of the compressor.
The release port on the pressure relief valve automatically opens and releases refrigerant into the atmosphere
when the pressure of refrigerant in the system increases to an unusual level [more than 3,800 kPa (38.0 bar,
38.8 kg/cm2, 551 psi)].

Precautions For Refrigerant System Service INFOID:0000000010704671

GENERAL REFRIGERANT PRECAUTION


WARNING:
• Never breathe A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and
throat. Remove HFC-134a (R-134a) from the A/C system, using certified service equipment meeting
requirements of SAE J-2210 [HFC-134a (R-134a) recycling equipment], or J-2209 [HFC-134a (R-134a)
recovery equipment]. Ventilate work area before resuming service if accidental system discharge
occurs. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and lubricant
manufacturers.
• Never release refrigerant into the air. Use approved recovery/recycling recharging equipment to cap-
ture the refrigerant each time an air conditioning system is discharged.
• Wear always eye and hand protection (goggles and gloves) when working with any refrigerant or air
conditioning system.
• Never store or heat refrigerant containers above 52°C (126°F).
• Never heat a refrigerant container with an open flame; Place the bottom of the container in a warm
pail of water if container warming is required.
• Never intentionally drop, puncture, or incinerate refrigerant containers.
• Keep refrigerant away from open flames: poisonous gas is produced if refrigerant burns.
• Refrigerant displaces oxygen, therefore be certain to work in well ventilated areas to prevent suffo-
cation.
• Never pressure test or leakage 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.
WORKING WITH HFC-134a (R-134a)
CAUTION:
• CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant are not compatible. Compressor mal-
function is likely to occur if the refrigerants are mixed, refer to “CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT”
below. To determine the purity of HFC-134a (R-134a) in the vehicle and recovery tank, use Refriger-
ant recovery/recycling recharging equipment and Refrigerant Identifier.
HA-144
PRECAUTIONS
< PRECAUTION > [TYPE 4]
• Use only specified lubricant for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) compo-
nents. Compressor malfunction is likely to occur if lubricant other than that specified is used. A
• The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) lubricant rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The fol-
lowing handling precautions must be observed:
- Cap (seal) immediately the component to minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere when
B
removing refrigerant components from a vehicle.
- Never remove the caps (unseal) until just before connecting the components when installing refrig-
erant components to a vehicle. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as possible to
minimize the entry of moisture into system. C
- Use only the specified lubricant from a sealed container. Reseal immediately containers of lubricant.
Lubricant becomes moisture saturated and should not be used without proper sealing.
- Never allow lubricant to come in contact with styrene foam parts. Damage may result. D
CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT
Take appropriate steps shown below if a refrigerant other than pure HFC-134a (R-134a) is identified in
a vehicle: E
• Explain to the customer that environmental regulations prohibit the release of contaminated refrigerant into
the atmosphere.
• Explain that recovery of the contaminated refrigerant could damage service equipment and refrigerant sup-
ply. F
• Suggest the customer return the vehicle to the location of previous service where the contamination may
have occurred.
• In case of repairing, recover the refrigerant using only dedicated equipment and containers. Never G
recover contaminated refrigerant into the existing service equipment. Contact a local refrigerant prod-
uct retailer for available service if the facility does not have dedicated recovery equipment. This refrigerant
must be disposed of in accordance with all federal and local regulations. In addition, replacement of all
H
refrigerant system components on the vehicle is recommended.
• The air conditioner warranty is void if the vehicle is within the warranty period. Please contact Nissan Cus-
tomer Affairs for further assistance.
HA
REFRIGERANT CONNECTION
A new type refrigerant connection has been introduced to all refrigerant lines except the following location.
• Expansion valve to evaporator
• Refrigerant pressure sensor to high-pressure pipe 1 J
WARNING:
Check that 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. K
CAUTION:
Observe the following when replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components.
• Store it in the same way at it is when mounted on the car when the compressor is removed. Failure L
to do so will cause lubricant to enter the low-pressure chamber.
• Use always a torque wrench and a back-up wrench when connecting tubes.
• Plug immediately all openings to prevent entry of dust and moisture after disconnecting tubes.
• Connect the pipes at the final stage of the operation when installing an air conditioner in the vehicle. M
Never 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. N
• Remove thoroughly moisture from the refrigeration system before charging the refrigerant.
• Replace always used O-rings.
• Apply lubricant to circle of the O-rings shown in illustration when connecting tube. Be careful not to
apply lubricant to threaded portion. O
• O-ring must be closely attached to the groove portion of tube.
• Never damage O-ring and tube when replacing the O-ring.
• Connect tube until a click can be heard. Then tighten the nut or bolt by hand. Check that the O-ring is P
installed to tube correctly.

HA-145
PRECAUTIONS
< PRECAUTION > [TYPE 4]
• Perform leakage test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections after connecting line.
Disconnect that line and replace the O-ring when the refrigerant leaking point is found. Then tighten
connections of seal seat to the specified torque.

RHA861F

COMPRESSOR
CAUTION:
• Plug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering.
• Store it in the same way at it is when mounted on the car when the compressor is removed.
• Follow “Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compressor” exactly when replacing or repairing
compressor. Refer to HA-113, "Description".
• Keep friction surfaces between clutch and pulley clean. Wipe it off by using a clean waste cloth
moistened with thinner if the surface is contaminated with lubricant.
• Turn the compressor shaft by hand more than five turns in both directions after compressor service
operation. This distributes equally lubricant inside the compressor. Let the engine idle and operate
the compressor for one hour after the compressor is installed.
• Apply voltage to the new one and check for normal operation after replacing the compressor magnet
clutch.
LEAK DETECTION DYE
CAUTION:
• The A/C system contains a fluorescent leak detection dye used for locating refrigerant leakages. An
ultraviolet (UV) lamp is required to illuminate the dye when inspecting for leakages.
• Wear always fluorescence enhancing UV safety goggles to protect eyes and enhance the visibility of
the fluorescent dye.
• The fluorescent dye leak detector is not a replacement for an electrical leak detector (SST: J-41995).
The fluorescent dye leak detector should be used in conjunction with an electrical leak detector
(SST: J-41995) to pin-point refrigerant leakages.
• Read and follow all manufacture’s operating instructions and precautions prior to performing the
work for the purpose of safety and customer’s satisfaction.
• A compressor shaft seal should not necessarily be repaired because of dye seepage. The compres-
sor shaft seal should only be repaired after confirming the leakage with an electrical leak detector
(SST: J-41995).
• Remove always any remaining dye from the leakage area after repairs are completed to avoid a mis-
diagnosis during a future service.
• Never allow dye to come into contact with painted body panels or interior components. Clean imme-
diately with the approved dye cleaner if dye is spilled. Fluorescent dye left on a surface for an
extended period of time cannot be removed.
• Never spray the fluorescent dye cleaning agent on hot surfaces (engine exhaust manifold, etc.).
• Never use more than one refrigerant dye bottle [1/4 ounce (7.4 cc)] per A/C system.

RECOVERY/RECYCLING RECHARGING EQUIPMENT


Be certain to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for machine operation and machine maintenance. Never C
introduce any refrigerant other than that specified into the machine.
ELECTRICAL LEAK DETECTOR
Be certain to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for tester operation and tester maintenance. D

VACUUM PUMP
The lubricant contained inside the vacuum pump is not compatible E
with the specified lubricant for HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C systems.
The vent side of the vacuum pump is exposed to atmospheric pres-
sure. So the vacuum pump lubricant may migrate out of the pump
into the service hose. This is possible when the pump is switched F
OFF after evacuation (vacuuming) and hose is connected to it.
To prevent this migration, use a manual valve placed near the hose-
to-pump connection, as per the following. G
• Vacuum pumps usually have a manual isolator valve as part of the
pump. Close this valve to isolate the service hose from the pump.
• Use a hose equipped with a manual shut-off valve near the pump
end for pumps without an isolator. Close the valve to isolate the H
hose from the pump.
• Disconnect the hose from the pump if the hose has an automatic
shut-off valve. As long as the hose is connected, the valve is open HA
and lubricating oil may migrate.
Some one-way valves open when vacuum is applied and close
under no vacuum condition. Such valves may restrict the pump’s
ability to pull a deep vacuum and are not recommended. J

CHARGING CYLINDER
Using 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.

REFRIGERANT CYCLE
Refrigerant Flow
The refrigerant from the compressor, flows the condenser with liquid tank, the evaporator, and returns to the
compressor. The refrigerant evaporation in the evaporator is controlled by an expansion valve.
Freeze Protection
To prevent evaporator from freezing up, the evaporator air temperature is monitored, and the voltage signal to
the A/C auto amp. makes the A/C relay go OFF and stop the compressor.
REFRIGERANT SYSTEM PROTECTION
Refrigerant Pressure Sensor
• The refrigerant system is protected against excessively high- or low-pressures by the refrigerant pressure
sensor, located on the condenser & liquid tank assembly. The refrigerant pressure sensor detects the pres-
sure inside the refrigerant line and sends the voltage signal to the ECM if the system pressure rises above,
or falls below the specifications.
• ECM turns the A/C relay to OFF and stops the compressor when the high-pressure side detected by refriger-
ant pressure sensor is following conditions;
- Approximately 3,120 kPa (31.2 bar, 31.8 kg/cm2, 452 psi) or more (Engine speed is 1,500 rpm or more.)
- Approximately 2,740 kPa (27.4 bar, 27.9 kg/cm2, 397 psi) or more (Engine speed is less than 1,500 rpm.)
- Approximately 140 kPa (1.4 bar, 1.2 kg/cm2, 17 psi) or less
Pressure Relief Valve
The refrigerant system is also protected by a pressure relief valve, located in the rear head of the compressor.
The release port on the pressure relief valve automatically opens and releases refrigerant into the atmosphere
when the pressure of refrigerant in the system increases to an unusual level [more than 3,800 kPa (38.0 bar,
38.8 kg/cm2, 551 psi)].

CHECK REFRIGERANT LEAKAGE USING ELECTRICAL LEAK DETECTOR
WARNING:
Never check refrigerant leakage while the engine is running.
CAUTION:
Be careful of the following items so that inaccurate checks or misidentifications are avoided.
• Never allow refrigerant vapor, shop chemical vapors, cigarette smoke, or others around the vehicle.
• Always check refrigerant leakage in a low air flow environment so that refrigerant may not disperse
when leakage occurs.
1. Stop the engine.
2. Connect recovery/recycling/recharging equipment or manifold gauge set to A/C service valve.
3. Check that A/C refrigerant pressure is 345 kPa (3.45 bar, 3.52 kg/cm2, 50 psi) or more when temperature
is 16°C (61°F) or more. When pressure is lower than the specified value, recycle refrigerant completely
and fill refrigerant to the specified level.
NOTE:
Leakages may not be detected if A/C refrigerant pressure is 345 kPa (3.45 bar, 3.52 kg/cm2, 50 psi) or
less when temperature is less than 16°C (61°F).
4. Clean area where refrigerant leakage check is performed, and check refrigerant leakage along all sur-
faces of pipe connections and A/C system components using electrical leak detector probe.
CAUTION:
• Continue checking when a leakage is found. Always continue and complete checking along all
pipe connections and A/C system components for additional leakage.
• When a leakage is detected, clean leakage area using compressed air and check again.
• When checking leakage of cooling unit inside, always clean inside of drain hose so that the
probe surface may not be exposed to water or dirt.
NOTE:
• Always check leakage starting from high-pressure side and continue to low-pressure side.
• When checking leakage of cooling unit inside, operate blower fan motor for 15 minutes or more at the
maximum fan speed while the engine is stopped, and then insert electrical leak detector probe into drain
hose and hold for 10 minutes or more.
• When disconnecting shut-off valve that is connected to A/C service valve, always evacuate remaining
refrigerant so that misidentification can be avoided.
5. Repair or replace parts where refrigerant leakage is detected. (Leakage is detected but leakage area is
unknown. GO TO 6.)

Trouble Diagnosis For Unusual Pressure INFOID:0000000010704922

Diagnose using a manifold gauge whenever system’s high and/or low side pressure(s) is/are unusual. The
marker above the gauge scale in the following tables indicates the standard (usual) pressure range. Refer to
above table (Ambient air temperature-to-operating pressure table) since the standard (usual) pressure, how-
ever, differs from vehicle to vehicle.
