2001 INFINITI QX4 check engine

5. If a leak detector detects a leak, verify at least once by blow-
ing compressed air into area of suspected leak, then repeat
check as outlined above.
6. Do not stop when one leak is found. Continue to check for
additional leaks at all system components.
If no leaks are found, perform steps7-10.
7. Start engine.
8. Set the heater A/C control as follows:
1) A/C switch ON.
2) Face mode
3) Recirculation switch ON
4) Max cold temperature
5) Fan speed high
9. Run engine at 1,500 rpm for at least 2 minutes.
10. Turn engine off and perform leak check again following steps
4 through 6 above.
SHA839E
Refrigerant leaks should be checked immediately after
stopping the engine. Begin with the leak detector at the
compressor. The pressure on the high pressure side will
gradually drop after refrigerant circulation stops and pres-
sure on the low pressure side will gradually rise, as shown
in the graph. Some leaks are more easily detected when
pressure is high.
11. Before connecting ACR4 to vehicle, check ACR4 gauges. No
refrigerant pressure should be displayed. If pressure is
displayed, recover refrigerant from equipment lines and then
check refrigerant purity.
12. Confirm refrigerant purity in supply tank using ACR4 and refrig-
erant identifier.
13. Confirm refrigerant purity in vehicle A/C system using ACR4
and refrigerant identifier.
14. Discharge A/C system using approved refrigerant recovery
equipment. Repair the leaking fitting or component as neces-
sary.
15. Evacuate and recharge A/C system and perform the leak test
to confirm no refrigerant leaks.
16. Conduct A/C performance test to ensure system works
properly.

Oil Pressure CheckNBLC0004WARNING:
IBe careful not to burn yourself, as the engine and oil may
be hot.
IOil pressure check should be done in ªParking positionº.
1. Check oil level.
2. Disconnect oil pressure switch harness connector.
3. Remove oil pressure switch using a deep socket. (Commercial
service tool)
4. Install pressure gauge.
5. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
6. Check oil pressure with engine running under no-load.
Engine speed
rpmApproximate discharge pressure
kPa (kg/cm2, psi)
Idle speed
2,000More than 98 (1.0, 14)
294 (3.0, 43)
If difference is extreme, check oil passage and oil pump
for oil leaks.
7. After the inspections, install the oil pressure switch as follows.
a. Remove the old sealant adhering to switch and engine.
