Checking CVT FluidNLAT02431. Check for fluid leakage.

2. Check fluid level.
Fluid level should be check using ªHOTº range on A/T fluid
level gauge at fluid temperatures of 50 to 80ÉC (122 to 176ÉF)
after vehicle has been driven approximately 10 minutes in
urban areas after engine is warmed up. But it can be checked
at fluid temperatures of 30 to 50ÉC (86 to 122ÉF) using ªCOLDº
range on A/T fluid level gauge for reference after engine is
warmed up and before driving. However, fluid level must be
rechecked using ªHOTº range.
a. Park vehicle on level surface and set parking brake.
b. Start engine and then move selector lever through reach gear
range, ending in ªPº.
c. Check fluid level with engine idling.
d. Remove A/T fluid level gauge and wipe it clean with lint-free
paper.
e. Re-insert A/T fluid level gauge into charging pipe as far as it
will go.
f. Remove A/T fluid level gauge and note reading. If level is at
low side of either range, add fluid through the speedometer
cable hole.
Use genuine NISSAN CVT fluid (NS-1) or exact equivalent.
CAUTION:
Do not overfill.
CAUTION:
SMA051D
Firmly fix the A/T fluid level gauge using a lip attached to the
fluid charging pipe.

3. Check fluid condition.
Check fluid for contamination. If fluid is very dark, smells
burned or contains frictional material check operation of CVT.
Refer to section AT for checking operation of CVT.

Changing CVT FluidNLAT02441. Warm up CVT fluid by driving the vehicle for 10 minutes.
2. Drain CVT fluid from radiator cooler hose (return side) and refill
with new CVT fluid at charging pipe with the engine running at
idle speed.
3. Refill until new CVT fluid comes out from radiator cooler hose
(return side).
About 30 to 50% extra fluid will be required for this procedure.

Sensor Input Signal to ECMECM func-
tionActuator
Crankshaft position sensor (POS) Engine speed
Fuel pump
controlFuel pump relay Camshaft position sensor (PHASE) Engine speed and cylinder number
Ignition switch Ignition signal and start signal
The ECM activates the fuel pump for several seconds after the ignition switch is turned on to improve engine
startability. If the ECM receives a 180É signal from the camshaft position sensor, it knows that the engine is
rotating, and causes the pump to perform. If the 180É signal is not received when the ignition switch is on, the
engine stalls. The ECM stops pump operation and prevents battery discharging, thereby improving safety. The
ECM does not directly drive the fuel pump. It controls the ON/OFF fuel pump relay, which in turn controls the
fuel pump.

+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 Oil Type R for DKV-11G compressor
Part number: KLH00-PAGR0
Lubricant name: Nissan A/C System Oil Type S for CSV613 compressor
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.
+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
connections of seal seat to the specified torque.
RHA861F
Precautions for Servicing CompressorNLHA0116+Plug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering.
+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 HA-87.
+Keep friction surfaces between clutch and pulley clean. If the surface is contaminated, with
lubricant, wipe it off by using a clean waste cloth moistened with thinner.
+After compressor service operation, turn the compressor shaft by hand more than five 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 one hour.
+After replacing the compressor magnet clutch, apply voltage to the new one and check for normal
operation.

SERVICE COUPLERSNLHA0117S06Never attempt to connect HFC-134a (R-134a) service couplers to
an CFC-12 (R-12) A/C system. The HFC-134a (R-134a) couplers
will not properly connect to the CFC-12 (R-12) system. However, if
an improper connection is attempted, discharging and contamina-
tion may occur.

REFRIGERANT WEIGHT SCALENLHA0117S07Verify that no refrigerant other than HFC-134a (R-134a) and speci-
fied lubricants have been used with the scale. If the scale controls
refrigerant flow electronically, the hose fitting must be 1/2″-16
ACME.
CALIBRATING ACR4 WEIGHT SCALENLHA0117S09Calibrate the scale every three months.
To calibrate the weight scale on the ACR4:
1. PressShift/ResetandEnterat the same time.
2. Press8787.“A1”will be displayed.
3. Remove all weight from the scale.
4. Press0, then pressEnter.“0.00”will be displayed and change
to“A2”.
5. Place a known weight (dumbbell or similar weight), between
4.5 and 36.3 kg (10 and 80 lb) on the center of the weight
scale.
6. Enter the known weight using four digits. (Example 10 lb =
“10.00”, 10.5 lb =“10.50”)
7. PressEnter—the display returns to the vacuum mode.
8. PressShift/ResetandEnterat the same time.
9. Press6—the known weight on the scale is displayed.
10. Remove the known weight from the scale.“0.00”will be dis-
played.
11. PressShift/Resetto return the ACR4 to the program mode.
CHARGING CYLINDERNLHA0117S08Using a charging cylinder is not recommended. Refrigerant may be
vented into air from cylinder’s top valve when filling the cylinder
with refrigerant. Also, the accuracy of the cylinder is generally less
than that of an electronic scale or of quality recycle/recharge
equipment.
