NOTICE
Trouble diagnoses indicates work procedures required to diag-
nose problems effectively. Observe the following instructions
before diagnosing.
1) Before performing trouble diagnoses, read the ªPrelimi-
nary Checkº, the ªSymptom Chartº or the ªWork Flowº.
2) After repairs, re-check that the problem has been com-
pletely eliminated.
3) Refer to Component Parts and Harness Connector Loca-
tion for the Systems described in each section for
identification/location of components and harness con-
nectors.
4) Refer to the Circuit Diagram for Quick Pinpoint Check.
If you need to check circuit continuity between harness
connectors in more detail, such as when a sub-harness
is used, refer to Wiring Diagram in each individual sec-
tion and Harness Layout in EL section for identification
of harness connectors.
5) When checking circuit continuity, ignition switch should
be in the ªLOCKº position.
6) Before checking voltage at connectors, check battery
voltage.
7) After accomplishing the Diagnostic Procedures and
Electrical Components Inspection, make sure that all
harness connectors are reconnected as they were.

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) ªAIR
BAGº and ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº
The Supplemental Restraint System such as ªAIR BAGº and ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº used along
with a seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. The SRS system composition which is available to NISSAN MODEL P11 is as follows (The
composition varies according to optional equipment):
lFor a frontal collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of driver's air bag module (located in the center of the
steering wheel), front passenger's air bag module (located on the instrument panel on passenger's side),
seat belt pre-tensioners, a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring harness and spiral cable.
lFor a side collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of front side air bag module (located in the outer side of
front seat), satellite sensor, diagnosis sensor unit (one of components of air bags for a frontal collision),
wiring harness, warning lamp (one of components of air bags for a frontal collision).
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in theRS sectionof this Service Manual.
WARNING:
lTo 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 dealer.
lImproper 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 RS section.
lDo not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. Spiral cable and wiring harnesses covered with yellow insulation or tape either
just before the harness connectors or for the complete harness are related to the SRS.
Precautions for Working with HFC-134a
(R-134a)
WARNING:
lCFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant are not compatible. These refriger-
ants must never be mixed, even in the smallest amounts. If the refrigerants are mixed, compres-
sor failure is likely to occur.
lUse only specified lubricant for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a)
components. If lubricant other than that specified is used, compressor failure is likely to occur.
lThe specified HFC-134a (R-134a) lubricant rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The
following handling precautions must be observed:
a: When removing refrigerant components from a vehicle, immediately cap (seal) the compo-
nent to minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere.
b: 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 possible to minimize the entry of moisture into system.
c: Only use the specified lubricant from a sealed container. Immediately reseal containers of
lubricant. Without proper sealing, lubricant will become moisture saturated and should not
be used.
d: Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose
and throat. Remove R-134a from the A/C system, using certified service equipment meeting
requirements of SAE J2210 (R-134a recycling equipment), or J2209 (R-134a recovery equip-
ment). If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service.
Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and lubricant
manufacturers.
e: Do not allow lubricant (Nissan A/C System Oil Type S or type R) to come in contact with sty-
rofoam parts. Damage may result.
PRECAUTIONS AND PREPARATION
HA-3

Refrigeration Cycle
REFRIGERANT FLOW
The refrigerant flow is in the standard pattern. Refrigerant flows through the compressor, condenser, liquid
tank, evaporator, and back to the compressor.
The refrigerant evaporation through the evaporator coil is controlled by an externally equalized expansion
valve, located inside the evaporator case.
FREEZE PROTECTION
Variable displacement (CSV613)
Under normal operating conditions, when the A/C is switched on, the compressor runs continuously, and the
evaporator pressure, therefore temperature, is controlled by the CSV613 variable displacement compressor
to prevent freeze up.
Vane rotary (CR-14)
The compressor cycles on and off to maintain the evaporator temperature within a specified range. When
the evaporator coil temperature falls below a specified point, the thermo control amplifier interrupts the
compressor operation. When the evaporator coil temperature rises above the specification, the thermo con-
trol amplifier allows compressor operation.
REFRIGERANT SYSTEM PROTECTION
Dual-pressure switch (System with CR-14 compressor)
The refrigerant system is protected against excessively high or low pressure by the dual-pressure switch,
located on the liquid tank. If the system pressure rises above, or falls below the specifications, the dual-
pressure switch opens to interrupt the compressor operation.
Pressure sensor (System with CSV613 compressor)
The pressure sensor is located on the liquid tank. It converts the system pressure into a voltage value witch
is then input into ECM.
If the system pressure rises above, or falls below the specifications, ECM interrupt the compressor opera-
tion.
Fusible plug
Open at temperatures above 105ÉC (221ÉF), thereby discharging refrigerant to the atmosphere. If this plug
is melted and opened, check the refrigerant line and replace liquid tank.
Pressure relief valve (CSV613 compressor)
The refrigerant system is also protected by a pressure relief valve, located in the rear head of the compres-
sor. When the pressure of refrigerant in the system increases to an abnormal level [more than 3,727 kPa
(38 kg/cm
2, 540 psi)], the release port on the pressure relief valve automatically opens and releases refrig-
erant into the atmosphere.
