HA-29
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.

formed?

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.

SERVICE PROCEDURES
HA-50
3. Move probe along component approximately 25 to 50 mm
(1 to 2 in)/sec.
CHECKING PROCEDURE
To prevent inaccurate or false readings, make sure there is
no refrigerant vapor or tobacco smoke in the vicinity of the
vehicle. Perform the leak test in calm area (low air/wind
movement) so that the leaking refrigerant is not dispersed.
1. Turn engine off.
2. Connect a suitable A/C manifold gauge set to the A/C ser-
vice ports.
3. Check if the A/C refrigerant pressure is at least 345 kPa
(3.452 bar, 3.52 kg/cm
2, 50 psi) above 16ÉC (61ÉF). If less
than specification, evacuate and recharge the system with
the specified amount of refrigerant.
NOTE: At temperatures below 16ÉC (61ÉF), leaks may not be
detected since the system may not reach 345 kPa
(3.452 bar, 3.52 kg/cm
2, 50 psi).
4. Conduct the leak test from the high side to the low side at
points
VathroughVn. Refer to HA-52.
Perform a leak check for the following areas carefully. Clean
the component to be checked and move the leak detector
probe completely around the connection/component.
lCompressor
Check the fitting of high and low pressure hoses, relief valve
and shaft seal.
lLiquid tank
Check the pressure switch, tube fitting, weld seams and the
fusible plug mounts.
lService valves
Check all around the service valves. Ensure service valve
caps are secured on the service valves (to prevent leaks).
NOTE: After removing A/C manifold gauge set from service
valves, wipe any residue from valves to prevent any
false readings by leak detector.
lCooling unit (Evaporator)
Turn blower fan on ``High'' for at least 15 seconds to dissi-
pate any refrigerant trace in the cooling unit. Insert the leak
detector probe into the drain hose immediately after stopping
the engine. (Keep the probe inserted for at least ten sec-
onds.)
5. If a leak detector detects a leak, verify at least once by
blowing compressed air into area of suspected leak, then
repeat check.
6. Do not stop when one leak is found. Continue to check for
additional leaks at all system components.
7. Start engine.

HA-57
Checking Fluid Leakage (For power steering)
Check lines for improper attachment, leaks, cracks, damage,
chafing or deterioration.
1. Run engine between idle speed and 1,000 rpm.
lMake sure temperature of fluid in reservoir tank rises to
60 to 80ÉC (140 to 176ÉF).
2. Turn steering wheel right-to-left several times.
3. Hold steering wheel at each ``lock'' position for five seconds
and carefully check for fluid leakage.
CAUTION:
Do not hold steering wheel at lock position for more than 15
seconds.
4. If fluid leakage from any line is noticed, loosen flare nut and
then retighten.
Do not overtighten connector as this can damage O-ring,
washer and connector.
5. If fluid leakage from power steering pump is noticed, check
power steering pump. Refer to ST-34.
6. If fluid leakage from power steering gear is noticed, check
power steering gear. Refer to ST-19 (PB48S), or ST-27
(PB59K).
Bleeding Hydraulic System (For power
steering)
1. Raise front end of vehicle until wheels are clear of the
ground.
2. Add fluid to reservoir tank to specified level. Then quickly turn
steering wheel fully to right and left and lightly touch steer-
ing stoppers.
Repeat steering wheel operation until fluid level no longer
decreases.
3. Start engine.
Repeat step 2 above.
lIncomplete air bleeding will cause the following to occur:
a. Air bubbles in reservoir tank
b. Clicking noise in power steering pump
c. Excessive buzzing in power steering pump
When this happens, bleed air again.
Fluid noise may occur in the valve or power steering pump. This
is common when the vehicle is stationary or while turning the
steering wheel slowly. This does not affect the performance or
durability of the system.

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.
