Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in
Compressor
The lubricant used to lubricate the compressor circulates through
the system with the refrigerant. Add lubricant to compressor
when replacing any component or after a large gas leakage
occurred. It is important to maintain the specified amount.
If lubricant quantity is not maintained properly, the following mal-
functions may result:
lLack of lubricant: May lead to a seized compressor
lExcessive lubricant: Inadequate cooling (thermal exchange
interference)
LUBRICANT
Name: Nissan A/C System Oil Type R
Part number: KLH00-PAGR0
CHECKING AND ADJUSTING
Adjust the lubricant quantity according to the flowchart shown
below.
START
Can lubricant return operation be per-
formed?
lA/C system works properly.lThere is no evidence of a large amount of
lubricant leakage.
No
cYes
Perform lubricant return operation, proceeding as follows:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Start engine, and set the following conditions:
lTest condition
Engine speed: Idling to 1,200 rpm
A/C or AUTO switch: ON
Blower speed: Max. position
Temp. control: Optional [Set so that intake air temperature is
25 to 30ÉC (77 to 86ÉF).]
2. Next item is for V-5 or V-6 compressor. Connect the manifold
gauge, and check that the high pressure side pressure is 588 kPa
(5.9 bar, 6 kg/cm
2, 85 psi) or higher.
If less than the reference level, attach a cover to the front face of
the condenser to raise the pressure.
3. Perform lubricant return operation for about 10 minutes.
4. Stop engine.
CAUTION:
If excessive lubricant leakage is noted, do not perform the lubricant
return operation.
Should the compressor be replaced?
No Yes

VA(Go to next page.)
Is there any part to be replaced?
(Evaporator, condenser, liquid tank or in
case there is evidence of a large amount of
lubricant leakage.)
No
cYes
After replacing any of the following major components, add the correct
amount of lubricant to the system.
Amount of lubricant to be added
*1: If compressor is replaced, addition of lubricant is included in the flow
chart.
*2: If refrigerant leak is small, no addition of lubricant is needed.

Removal Ð Air Bag Module and Spiral Cable
CAUTION:
lBefore servicing SRS, turn the ignition switch off, dis-
connect both battery cables and wait for at least 3 min-
utes.
lAlways work from the side of air bag module.
1. Remove lower lid from steering wheel, and disconnect air
bag module connector.
2. Remove side lids. Using the TAMPER RESISTANT TORX
(Size T50), remove left and right special bolts. Air bag mod-
ule can then be removed.
CAUTION:
lAlways place air bag module with pad side facing
upward.
lDo not attempt to disassemble air bag module.
lThe special bolts are coated with bonding agent. Do not
use old bolts after removal; replace with new ones.
lReplace air bag module if it has been dropped or sus-
tained an impact.
lDo not expose the air bag module to temperatures
exceeding 90ÉC (194ÉF).
lDo not allow oil, grease or water to come in contact with
the air bag module.
3. Set steering wheel in the neutral position.
4. Disconnect horn connector (Dual Air Bag System)/spiral
cable steering connector (Single Air Bag System) and
remove nuts.
5. Using steering wheel puller, remove steering wheel. Be care-
ful not to over-tighten puller bolt on steering wheel.
CAUTION:
lDo not tap or bump the steering wheel.
6. Remove steering column cover.
7. Disconnect connectors and remove the four screws. The spi-
ral cable can then be removed.

Checking Neutral Position on Steering Wheel
lMake sure that wheel alignment is correct.
Wheel alignment:
Refer to FA section (``Inspection and Adjustment'',
``SERVICE DATA AND SPECIFICATIONS'').
lVerify that the steering gear is centered before removing the
steering wheel.
Checking
1. Check that the steering wheel is in the neutral position when
driving straight ahead.
2. If it is not in the neutral position, remove the steering wheel
and reinstall it correctly.
3. If the neutral position is still not correct:
a. Loosen tie-rod lock nuts.
b. Move tie-rods, in opposite direction, the same amount on
both left and right sides.
This will compensate for error in the neutral position.
Checking Front Wheel Turning Angle
1. Rotate steering wheel fully right, then left; measure turning
angle.
Turning angle of full turns:
Refer to FA section (``Inspection and Adjustment'',
``SERVICE DATA AND SPECIFICATIONS'').
2. If it is not within specification, check stopper bolt adjustment.
Refer to FA section (``FRONT WHEEL TURNING ANGLE'',
``Front Wheel Alignment'').
Checking Hydraulic System (For power
steering)
Before starting, check belt tension, driving pulley and tire pressure.
1. Set Tool. Open shut-off valve. Then bleed air. Refer to
``Bleeding Hydraulic System'', ST-5.
2. Run engine at idle speed or 1,000 rpm.
lMake sure temperature of fluid in reservoir tank rises to
60 to 80ÉC (140 to 176ÉF).
WARNING:
Warm up engine with shut-off valve fully opened. If engine
is started with shut-off valve closed, fluid pressure in power
steering pump increases to maximum. This will raise fluid
temperature abnormally.
3. Check pressure with steering wheel fully turned to left and
right positions while idling at 1,000 rpm.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel at full lock position for more
than 15 seconds.
Oil pump maximum pressure:
7,649 - 8,238 kPa (76.5 - 82.4 bar, 78 - 84 kg/cm
