PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTIONS PFP:00001
A
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER” EJS001UG
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along B
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front C
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
WARNING: D
● To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, 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 per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer. E
● Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the SRS section. F
● Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or
harness connectors.
G
Precautions for Working with HFC-134a (R-134a) EJS001UH
WARNING:
● CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant are not compatible. If the refrigerants H
are mixed compressor failure is likely to occur. Refer ATC-5, "Contaminated Refrigerant" . To
determine the purity of HFC-134a (R-134a) in the vehicle and recovery tank, use Refrigerant
Recovery/Recycling Recharging equipment and Refrigerant Identifier. I
● Use only specified lubricant for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) compo-
nents. If lubricant other than that specified is used, compressor failure is likely to occur.
● The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) lubricant rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The fol- ATC
lowing 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. K
– When installing refrigerant components to a vehicle, do not remove the caps (unseal) until just
before connecting the components. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as possi-
ble to minimize the entry of moisture into system. L
– Only use the specified lubricant from a sealed container. Immediately reseal containers of lubri-
cant. Without proper sealing, lubricant will become moisture saturated and should not be used.
– Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and M
throat. Remove HFC-134a (R-134a) from the A/C system using certified service equipment meeting
requirements of SAE J2210 [HFC-134a (R-134a) recycling equipment], or J2209 [HFC-134a (R-134a)
recovery equipment]. If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming
service. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and lubricant
manufacturers.
– Do not allow lubricant, NISSAN A/C System Lubricant Type S (DH-PS) or equivalent, to come in
contact with styrofoam parts. Damage may result.
Contaminated Refrigerant EJS001UI
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 refrigerant could damage your service equipment and refriger-
ant supply.
● Suggest the customer return the vehicle to the location of previous service where the contamination may
have occurred.

PRECAUTIONS
● If you choose to perform the repair, recover the refrigerant using only dedicated equipment and contain-
ers. Do not recover contaminated refrigerant into your existing service equipment. If your facility
does not have dedicated recovery equipment, you may contact a local refrigerant product retailer for avail-
able service. This refrigerant 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.
● If the vehicle is within the warranty period, the air conditioner warranty is void. Please contact NISSAN
Customer Affairs for further assistance.
General Refrigerant Precautions EJS001UJ
WARNING:
● Do not release refrigerant into the air. Use approved recovery/recycling equipment to capture the
refrigerant every time an air conditioning system is discharged.
● Always wear eye and hand protection (goggles and gloves) when working with any refrigerant or
air conditioning system.
● Do not store or heat refrigerant containers above 52°C (125°F).
● Do 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.
● Do not intentionally drop, puncture, or incinerate refrigerant containers.
● Keep refrigerant away from open flames: poisonous gas will be produced if refrigerant burns.
● Refrigerant will displace oxygen, therefore be certain to work in well ventilated areas to prevent
suffocation.
● Do 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 Leak Detection Dye EJS001UK
● The A/C system contains a fluorescent leak detection dye used for locating refrigerant leaks. An ultraviolet
(UV) lamp is required to illuminate the dye when inspecting for leaks.
● Always wear fluorescence enhancing UV safety goggles to protect your eyes and enhance the visibility of
the fluorescent dye.
● The fluorescent dye leak detector is not a replacement for an electronic refrigerant leak detector. The fluo-
rescent dye leak detector should be used in conjunction with an electronic refrigerant leak detector (J-
41995).
● For your safety and the customer's satisfaction, read and follow all manufacturer's operating instructions
and precautions prior to performing work.
● A compressor shaft seal should not be repaired because of dye seepage. The compressor shaft seal
should only be repaired after confirming the leak with an electronic refrigerant leak detector (J-41995).
● Always remove any dye from the leak area after repairs are complete to avoid a misdiagnosis during a
future service.
● Do not allow dye to come into contact with painted body panels or interior components. If dye is spilled,
clean immediately with the approved dye cleaner. Fluorescent dye left on a surface for an extended period
of time cannot be removed .
● Do not spray the fluorescent dye cleaning agent on hot surfaces (engine exhaust manifold, etc.).
● Do not 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. Do not use
HFC-134a (R-134a) leak detection dye in CFC-12 (R-12) A/C systems or CFC-12 (R-12) leak detection
dye in HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C systems or A/C system damage may result.
● The fluorescent properties of the dye will remain for over three (3) years unless a compressor failure
occurs.

PRECAUTIONS
A/C Identification Label EJS001UL
A
Vehicles with factory installed fluorescent dye have this identification
label on the underside of hood.

Precautions for Refrigerant Connection EJS001UM
A new type refrigerant connection has been introduced to all refrigerant lines except the following locations. E
● Expansion valve to cooling unit
● Evaporator pipes to evaporator (inside cooling unit)
F
● Refrigerant pressure sensor
FEATURES OF NEW TYPE REFRIGERANT CONNECTION
● The O-ring has been relocated. It has also been provided with a groove for proper installation. This G
reduces the possibility of the O-ring being caught in, or damaged by, the mating part. The sealing direction
of the O-ring is now set vertically in relation to the contacting surface of the mating part to improve sealing
characteristics. H
● The reaction force of the O-ring will not occur in the direction that causes the joint to pull out, thereby facil-
itating piping connections.

*: 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.
● When 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.
● 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 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.
● 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 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
● O-ring must be closely attached to dented portion of tube.
● When replacing the O-ring, be careful not to damage O-ring and tube.
● Connect 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.

PRECAUTIONS
● After connecting line, conduct leak test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections.
When the gas leaking point is found, disconnect that line and replace the O-ring. Then tighten con- A
nections of seal seat to the specified torque.

RHA861F
Precautions for Servicing Compressor EJS001UN
● Plug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering. H
● When the compressor is removed, store it in the same position as it is when mounted on the car.
● When replacing or repairing compressor, follow “Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compres-
sor” exactly. Refer to ATC-22, "Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compressor" . I
● 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.
ATC
● After compressor service operation, turn the compressor shaft by hand more than 5 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 1 hour.
● After replacing the compressor magnet clutch, apply voltage to the new one and check for normal K
operation. Refer to ATC-165, "Removal and Installation for Compressor Clutch"
Precautions for Service Equipment EJS001UO
L
RECOVERY/RECYCLING EQUIPMENT
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for machine operation and machine maintenance. Never introduce any
refrigerant other than that specified into the machine.
M
ELECTRONIC LEAK DETECTOR
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for tester operation and tester maintenance.

PRECAUTIONS
VACUUM PUMP
The lubricant contained inside the vacuum pump is not compatible
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 off
after evacuation (vacuuming) and hose is connected to it.
To prevent this migration, use a manual valve situated near the
hose-to-pump connection, as follows.
● Usually vacuum pumps have a manual isolator valve as part of
the pump. Close this valve to isolate the service hose from the
pump.
● For pumps without an isolator, use a hose equipped with a man-
ual shut-off valve near the pump end. Close the valve to isolate
the hose from the pump.
● If the hose has an automatic shut off valve, disconnect the hose
from the pump: as long as the hose is connected, the valve is
open and lubricating oil may migrate.
Some one-way valves open when vacuum is applied and close
under a no vacuum condition. Such valves may restrict the pump's
ability to pull a deep vacuum and are not recommended.
RHA270D
MANIFOLD GAUGE SET

Be certain that the gauge face indicates HFC-134a (R-134a or
134a). Make sure the gauge set has 1/2″-16 ACME threaded con-
nections for service hoses. Confirm the set has been used only with
refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) along with specified lubricant.
SHA533D
SERVICE HOSES
Be certain that the service hoses display the markings described
(colored hose with black stripe). All hoses must include positive shut-
off devices (either manual or automatic) near the end of the hoses
opposite the manifold gauge.

Never mix HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant and/or its specified lubricant with CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and/or
its lubricant.
Separate and non-interchangeable service equipment must be used for handling each type of refrigerant/lubri-
cant.
Refrigerant container fittings, service hose fittings and service equipment fittings (equipment which handles
refrigerant and/or lubricant) are different between CFC-12 (R-12) and HFC-134a (R-134a). This is to avoid
mixed use of the refrigerants/lubricant.
Adapters that convert one size fitting to another must never be used refrigerant/lubricant contamination will
occur and compressor failure will result.

REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
REFRIGERATION SYSTEM PFP:KA990
Refrigerant Cycle EJS001UT
REFRIGERANT FLOW
The refrigerant flows in the standard pattern, that is, through the compressor, the condenser with liquid tank,
through the front and rear evaporators, and back to the compressor. The refrigerant evaporation through the
evaporator coils are controlled by front and rear externally equalized expansion valves, located inside the front
and rear evaporator cases.
Refrigerant System Protection EJS001UU
REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR

The refrigerant system is protected against excessively high or low pressures by the refrigerant pressure sen-
sor, located on the condenser. If the system pressure rises above or falls below the specifications, the refriger-
ant pressure sensor detects the pressure inside the refrigerant line and sends a voltage signal to the ECM.
The ECM de-energizes the A/C relay to disengage the magnetic compressor clutch when pressure on the high
pressure side detected by refrigerant pressure sensor is over about 2,746 kPa (28 kg/cm2 , 398 psi), or below
about 120 kPa (1.22 kg/cm2 , 17.4 psi).

PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE

The refrigerant system is also protected by a pressure relief valve, located in the rear head of the compressor. A
When the pressure of refrigerant in the system increases to an abnormal level [more than 2,990 kPa (30.5 kg/
cm2 , 433.6 psi)], the release port on the pressure relief valve automatically opens and releases refrigerant
into the atmosphere. B

LUBRICANT
LUBRICANT PFP:KLG00
Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compressor EJS001UW
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:
● Lack of lubricant: May lead to a seized compressor
● Excessive lubricant: Inadequate cooling (thermal exchange interference)
LUBRICANT
Name: NISSAN A/C System Lubricant Type S (DH-PS) or equivalent

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
● Engine speed: Idling to 1,200 rpm
● A/C switch: On
● Blower speed: Max. position
● Temp. control: Optional [Set so that intake air temperature is 25° to 30° C (77° to 86°F)]
● Intake position: Recirculation ( )
● Perform 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:

30 (1.0, 1.1) Large leak
In case of refrigerant leak
— Small leak *1
● *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. Connect recovery/recycling equipment to vehicle. Confirm refrigerant purity in supply tank using recovery/
recycling equipment and refrigerant identifier. If NG, refer to ATC-5, "Contaminated Refrigerant" .
3. Confirm refrigerant purity in vehicle A/C system using recovery/recycling equipment and refrigerant identi-
fier. If NG, refer to ATC-5, "Contaminated Refrigerant" .
4. Discharge refrigerant into the refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment. Measure lubricant discharged into
the recovery/recycling equipment.
5. Drain the lubricant from the “old” (removed) compressor into a graduated container and recover the
amount of lubricant drained.
6. Drain the lubricant from the “new” compressor into a separate, clean container.

LUBRICANT
7. 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. A
8. Measure an amount of new lubricant equal to the amount recovered during discharging. Add this lubricant
to “new” compressor through the suction port opening.
9. If the liquid tank also needs to be replaced, add an additional 5 m (0.2 US fl oz, 0.2 Imp fl oz) of lubricant B
at this time.
Do not add this 5 m (0.2 US fl oz, 0.2 Imp fl oz) of lubricant if only replacing the compressor.

AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL
AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL PFP:27500
Description EJS001UX
The front air control provides automatic regulation of the vehicle's interior temperature. The system is based
on the driver's and passenger's selected "set temperature", regardless of the outside temperature changes.
This is done by utilizing a microcomputer, also referred to as the front air control, which receives input signals
from the following six sensors:
● Ambient sensor
● In-vehicle sensor
● Intake sensor
● Optical sensor (one sensor for driver and passenger side)
● PBR (Position Balanced Resistor).
● Vehicle speed sensor
The front air control uses these signals (including the set temperature) to automatically control:
● Outlet air volume
● Air temperature
● Air distribution
The front air control also provides separate regulation of the vehicle's interior temperature for the rear passen-
ger area. The system is based on the temperature and rear blower settings selected from rear control
switches located on the front air control, or from the temperature and rear blower settings selected from rear
control switches on the rear air control, when the front air control switches are set to the rear position.
The front air control is used to select:
● Outlet air volume
● Air temperature/distribution
Operation EJS001UY
AIR MIX DOORS CONTROL

The air mix doors are automatically controlled so that in-vehicle temperature is maintained at a predetermined
value by: The temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle temperature and amount of sunload.
BLOWER SPEED CONTROL
Blower speed is automatically controlled based on temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle tem-
perature, intake temperature, amount of sunload and air mix door position.
When AUTO switch is pressed, the blower motor starts to gradually increase air flow volume (if required).
When engine coolant temperature is low, the blower motor operation is delayed to prevent cool air from flow-
ing.
INTAKE DOOR CONTROL
The intake door is automatically controlled by: The temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle tem-
perature, intake temperature, amount of sunload and ON-OFF operation of the compressor.
MODE DOOR CONTROL
The mode door is automatically controlled by: The temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle tem-
perature, intake temperature and amount of sunload.
DEFROSTER DOOR CONTROL
The defroster door is controlled by: Turning the defroster dial to front defroster.

MAGNET CLUTCH CONTROL

A
LJIA0023E
G
When A/C switch or DEF switch is pressed, front air control inputs compressor ON signal to BCM.
BCM sends 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- H
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. I

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Front Air Control
The front air control has a built-in microcomputer which processes
information sent from various sensors needed for air conditioner
operation. The air mix door motors, mode door motor, intake door
motor, defroster door motor, blower motor and compressor are then
controlled.
The front air control is unitized with control mechanisms. When the
various switches and temperature dials are operated, data is input to
the front air control.
Self-diagnostic functions are also built into the front air control to pro-
vide quick check of malfunctions in the auto air conditioner system.
WJIA0544E
Potentio Temperature Control (PTC)

There are two PTCs (passenger and driver) built into the front air
control. They can be set at an interval of 0.5°C (1.0°F) in the 18°C

● Mode door motor
● PBR (built into mode door motor)
● In-vehicle sensor C
● Ambient sensor
● Optical sensor
● Intake sensor D
System Operation
The mode door position (vent, B/L, foot, and defrost) is set by the front air control by means of the mode door
motor. When a mode door position is selected on the front air control, voltage is applied to one circuit of the E
mode door motor while ground is applied to the other circuit, causing the mode door motor to rotate. The direc-
tion of rotation is determined by which circuit has voltage applied to it, and which one has ground applied to it.
The front air control monitors the mode door position by measuring the voltage signal on the PBR circuit. F
In AUTO mode the mode door position is set by the front air control which determines the proper position
based on inputs from the in-vehicle sensor, ambient sensor, optical sensor, intake sensor, and the temperature
selected by the driver or passenger.

● Air mix door motors (Driver, Passenger, and rear)
● PBR (built-into air mix door motors)
● In-vehicle sensor C
● Ambient sensor

System Operation
The front air control receives data from the temperature selected by the driver side, passenger side, and rear.
The front air control then applies a voltage to one circuit of the appropriate air mix door motor, while ground is E
applied to the other circuit, causing the appropriate air mix door motor to rotate. The direction of rotation is
determined by which circuit has voltage applied to it, and which one has ground applied to it. The front air con-
trol monitors the air mix door positions by measuring the voltage signal on the PBR circuits of each door. F
In AUTO mode the air mix, intake, mode door, and defrost door positions are set by the front air control which
determines the proper position based on inputs from the in-vehicle sensor, ambient sensor, optical sensor,
intake sensor, and the temperature selected by the driver and front and rear passengers.

System Operation
The front air control determines defroster door position based on the position of the defroster switch. When the
defroster switch is depressed, the defroster door motor rotates directing air to the defroster ducts. When any
mode other than defroster is selected, the defroster motor rotates in the opposite direction closing off air flow
to the defroster ducts.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Component Parts
Blower speed control system components are:
● Ambient sensor
● Optical sensor
● Intake sensor
System Operation
WJIA0440E
Automatic Mode
In the automatic mode, the blower motor speed is calculated by the front air control and variable blower control
based on input from the in-vehicle sensor, optical sensor, intake sensor and ambient sensor, and potentio tem-
perature control (PTC).
When the air flow is increased, the duty ratio of the blower motor′s drive signal is changed at 8%/sec. to pre-
vent a sudden increase in air flow.
In addition to manual air flow control and the usual automatic air flow control, starting air flow control, low
water temperature starting control and high passenger compartment temperature starting control are avail-
able.
Starting Blower Speed Control
Start up from cold soak condition (Automatic mode).
In a cold start up condition where the engine coolant temperature is below 50°C (122°F), the blower will not
operate at blower speed 1 for a short period of time (up to 210 seconds). The exact start delay time varies
depending on the ambient and engine coolant temperatures.
In the most extreme case (very low ambient temperature) the blower starting delay will be 210 seconds as
described above. After the coolant temperature reaches 50°C (122°F), or the 210 seconds has elapsed, the
blower speed will increase to the objective blower speed.
Start up from normal operating or hot soak condition (Automatic mode).

The blower will begin operation momentarily after the AUTO switch is pushed. The blower speed will gradually
rise to the objective speed over a time period of 3 seconds or less (actual time depends on the objective
blower speed).

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Blower Speed Compensation - Sunload

When the in-vehicle temperature and the set temperature are very close, the blower will be operating at low A
speed. The speed will vary depending on the sunload. During conditions of low or no sunload, the blower
operates at low speed. During high sunload conditions, the front air control causes the blower speed to
increase. B

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION F
Variable Blower Control
The variable blower control is located on the cooling unit. The vari-
able blower control receives a gate voltage from the front air control G
to steplessly maintain the blower motor voltage in the 0 to 5 volt
range (approx.).

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Ambient Sensor Circuit EJS001VQ
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION A
Ambient Sensor
The ambient sensor is attached on the radiator core support (left
side). It detects ambient temperature and converts it into a resis- B
tance value which is then input into the front air control.
WJIA0562E
E
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE INPUT PROCESS
The front air control includes a processing circuit for the ambient sensor input. However, when the tempera-
ture detected by the ambient sensor increases quickly, the processing circuit retards the front air control func- F
tion. It only allows the front air control to recognize an ambient temperature increase of 0.33°C (0.6°F) per 100
seconds.
This prevents constant adjustments due to momentary conditions, such as stopping after high speed driving.
Although the actual ambient temperature has not changed, the temperature detected by the ambient sensor G
will increase. This is because the heat from the engine compartment can radiate to the front grille area, loca-
tion of the ambient sensor.

Optical Sensor Circuit EJS001VS
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION I
The optical sensor is located on the passenger side defroster grille. It

detects sunload entering through windshield by means of a photo ATC
diode. The sensor converts the sunload into a current value which is
then input into the front air control.
K
WJIA0569E
OPTICAL INPUT PROCESS M

The front air control includes a processing circuit which averages the variations in detected sunload over a
period of time. This prevents adjustments in the ATC system operation due to small or quick variations in
detected sunload.
For example, consider driving along a road bordered by an occasional group of large trees. The sunload
detected by the optical sensor will vary whenever the trees obstruct the sunlight. The processing circuit aver-
ages the detected sunload over a period of time, so that the (insignificant) effect of the trees momentarily
obstructing the sunlight does not cause any change in the ATC system operation. On the other hand, shortly
after entering a long tunnel, the system will recognize the change in sunload, and the system will react accord-
ingly.

IN-CABIN MICROFILTER
IN-CABIN MICROFILTER PFP:27277
FUNCTION
The air inside the passenger compartment is filtered by the in-cabin
microfilters when the heater or A/C controls are set on either the
recirculation or fresh mode. The two in-cabin microfilters are located
in the front heater and cooling unit assembly. The rear heater and
cooling unit assembly only draws in air from the passenger compart-
ment to recirculate into the passenger compartment, so the rear
heater and cooling unit assembly is not equipped with in-cabin
microfilters.
LJIA0012E
REPLACEMENT TIMING
Replacement of the two in-cabin microfilters is recommended on a regular interval depending on the driving
conditions. Refer to MA-7, "PERIODIC MAINTENANCE" . It may also be necessary to replace the two in-cabin
microfilters as part of a component replacement if the in-cabin microfilters are damaged.

Expansion valve bolts : 4 N·m (0.41 kg-m, 35 in-lb)
A/C refrigerant pipe to expansion valve bolt : Refer to ATC-162, "Components"
.
CAUTION:
● Replace the O-rings on the A/C refrigerant pipes with new ones, then apply compressor oil to them
when installing them.
Checking for Refrigerant Leaks EJS001WV
Perform a visual inspection of all refrigeration parts, fittings, hoses and components for signs of A/C lubricant
leakage, damage, and corrosion. Any A/C lubricant leakage may indicate an area of refrigerant leakage. Allow
extra inspection time in these areas when using either an electronic refrigerant leak detector (J-41995) or fluo-
rescent dye leak detector (J-42220).
If any dye is observed using a fluorescent dye leak detector (J-42220), confirm the leak using a electronic
refrigerant leak detector (J-41995). It is possible that the dye is from a prior leak that was repaired and not
properly cleaned.
When searching for leaks, do not stop when one leak is found but continue to check for additional leaks at all
system components and connections.
When searching for refrigerant leaks using an electronic refrigerant leak detector (J-41995), move the probe
along the suspected leak area at 25 - 50 mm (1 - 2 in) per second and no further than 6 mm (1/4 in) from the
component.
CAUTION:
Moving the electronic refrigerant leak detector probe slower and closer to the suspected leak area will
improve the chances of finding a leak.
Checking System for Leaks Using the Fluorescent Dye Leak Detector EJS001WW
1. Check the A/C system for leaks using the fluorescent dye leak detector (and safety goggles) (J-42220) in
a low sunlight area (area without windows preferable). Illuminate all components, fittings and lines. The
dye will appear as a bright green/yellow area at the point of leakage. Fluorescent dye observed at the
evaporator drain opening indicates an evaporator core assembly leak (tubes, core or expansion valve).
2. If the suspected area is difficult to see, use an adjustable mirror or wipe the area with a clean shop rag or
cloth, then inspect the shop rag or cloth with the fluorescent dye leak detector (J-42220) for dye residue.
3. After the leak is repaired, remove any residual dye using dye cleaner (J-43872) to prevent future misdiag-
nosis.
4. Perform a system performance check and then verify the leak repair using a electronic refrigerant leak
detector (J-41995).
NOTE:
● Other gases in the work area or substances on the A/C components, for example, anti-freeze, wind-
shield washer fluid, solvents and lubricants, may falsely trigger the leak detector. Make sure the sur-
faces to be checked are clean.
● Clean with a dry cloth or blow off with shop air.
● Do not allow the sensor tip of the electronic refrigerant leak detector (J-41995) to contact with any sub-
stance. This can also cause false readings and may damage the detector.
Dye Injection EJS001WX
NOTE:
This procedure is only necessary when recharging the system or when the compressor has seized and must
be replaced.
1. Check the A/C system static (at rest) pressure. Pressure must be at least 345 kPa (3.52 kg/cm2 , 50 psi).

REFRIGERANT LINES
2. Pour one bottle 7.4 cc (1/4 ounce) of the HFC-134a (R-134a) fluorescent leak detection dye (J-41447) into
the HFC-134a (R-134a) dye injector (J-41459). A
CAUTION:
If repairing the A/C system or replacing a component, pour the HFC-134a (R-134a) fluorescent leak
detection dye (J-41447) directly into the open system connection and proceed with the service B
procedures.
3. Connect the injector tool (J-41459) to the low-pressure service valve.
4. Start the engine and switch the A/C system ON. C
5. When the A/C system is operating (compressor running), inject one bottle 7.4 cc (1/4 ounce) of HFC-134a
(R-134a) fluorescent leak detection dye (J-41447) through the low-pressure service valve using HFC-
134a (R-134a) dye injector (J-41459). Refer to the manufacturer's operating instructions. D
6. With the engine still running, disconnect the HFC-134a (R-134a) dye injector (J-41459) from the low-pres-
sure service valve.
7. Operate the A/C system for a minimum of 20 minutes to mix the HFC-134a (R-134a) fluorescent leak E
detection dye (J-41447) with the A/C system oil. Depending on the leak size, operating conditions and
location of the leak, it may take from minutes to days for the HFC-134a (R-134a) fluorescent leak detec-
tion dye to penetrate an A/C system leak and become visible.

PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING LEAK DETECTOR

NOTE: G
When performing a refrigerant leak check, use a electronic refrigerant leak detector (J-41995) or equivalent.
Ensure that the electronic refrigerant leak detector (J-41995) is calibrated and set properly according to the
manufacturer's operating instructions.
The electronic refrigerant leak detector (J-41995) is a delicate H
device. To use the leak detector properly, read the manufacturer's
operating instructions and perform any specified maintenance.

SHA708EA
CHECKING PROCEDURE
NOTE:
To prevent inaccurate or false readings, make sure there is no refrigerant vapor, shop chemicals, or cigarette
smoke in the vicinity of the vehicle. Perform the leak test in a calm area (low air/wind movement) so that the
leaking refrigerant is not dispersed.
1. Turn the engine OFF.
2. Connect the manifold gauge set (J-39183-C) to the A/C service ports. Refer to ATC-160, "SETTING OF
SERVICE TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT" .
3. Check if the A/C refrigerant pressure is at least 345 kPa (3.52 kg/cm2 , 50 psi) above a temperature of
16°C (61°F). If less than specification, recover/evacuate and recharge the system with the specified
amount of refrigerant. Refer to ATC-160, "HFC-134a (R-134a) Service Procedure" .
NOTE:
At temperatures below 16°C (61°F), leaks may not be detected since the system may not reach 345 kPa
(3.52 kg/cm2 , 50 psi) pressure.
4. Perform the leak test from the high-pressure side (front A/C compressor discharge “a” to evaporator inlet
“f” or rear piping connection “l”) to the low-pressure side (front A/C evaporator drain hose “g” to shaft seal
“k” and rear A/C evaporator drain hose “o” to piping connection “r”). Refer to ATC-162, "Components" .
Clean the component to be checked and carefully move the electronic refrigerant leak detector probe
completely around the following connections and components.
● Check the compressor shaft seal
● Check the high and low-pressure pipe and hose fittings, relief valve, and compressor shaft seal
● Check the liquid tank
● Check the refrigerant pressure sensor
● Check all around the service valves. Check that the service valve caps are screwed tightly on the ser-
vice valves (to prevent leaks).
NOTE:
After removing manifold gauge set (J-39183-C) from the service valves, wipe any residue from the ser-
vice valves to prevent any false readings by the electronic refrigerant leak detector (J-41995).
● Evaporator
With engine OFF, turn blower fan on “High” for at least 15 seconds to dissipate any refrigerant trace in
the heater and cooling unit assembly. Wait a minimum of 10 minutes accumulation time (refer to the
manufacturer's recommended procedure for actual wait time) before inserting the electronic refrigerant
leak detector probe into the heater and cooling unit assembly drain hose.
REFRIGERANT LINES
NOTE:
Keep the probe inserted for at least 10 seconds. Use caution not to contaminate the probe tip with A
water or dirt that may be in the drain hose.
5. If a leak is detected, verify at least once by blowing compressed air into the area of the suspected leak,
then repeat the leak check. B
6. Do not stop when one leak is found. Continue to check for additional leaks at all system components and
connections.
7. If no leaks are found, perform steps 8 - 11. C
8. Start the engine.
9. Set the heater A/C controls as follows:
NOTE: D
For the automatic system, turn OFF the automatic controls and set the heater A/C controls manually.
a. A/C switch to ON
b. Air flow to VENT mode E
c. Intake position to RECIRCULATION mode
d. Temperature to MAX cold
F
e. Blower speed to HIGH
10. Run the engine at 1,500 rpm for at least 2 minutes.

11. Turn the engine OFF and perform the leak check again following G
steps 4 through 6 above.
Refrigerant leaks should be checked immediately after turning
the engine OFF. Begin with the leak detector at the compressor. H
The pressure on the high pressure side will gradually drop after
the refrigerant circulation stops and pressure on the low pres-
sure side will gradually rise, as shown in the graph. Some leaks
are more easily detected when the pressure is high. I
SHA839E
ATC
12. Before connecting the recovery/recycling equipment to the vehicle, check the recovery/recycling equip-
ment gauges. No refrigerant pressure should be displayed. If pressure is displayed, recover the refriger- K
ant from the equipment lines and then check the refrigerant purity.
13. Confirm refrigerant purity in supply tank using recovery/recycling equipment and refrigerant identifier
equipment (J-41810-NI). L
14. Confirm the refrigerant purity in the vehicle's A/C system using recovery/recycling equipment and refriger-
ant identifier equipment (J-41810-NI).
15. Discharge the A/C system using recovery/recycling equipment. Repair the leaking fitting or component as M
necessary.
16. Evacuate and recharge the A/C system and perform the leak test to confirm that there are no refrigerant
leaks.
17. Conduct the Operational Check to ensure system works properly. Refer to ATC-55, "Operational Check
(Front)" .
