HFC-134a (R-134a) Service Tools and EquipmentEJS00286
Never mix HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant and/or its specified lubricant with CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and/or
its lubricant.
Separate and non-interchangeable service equipment must be used for handling each type of refrigerant/lubri-
cant.
Refrigerant container fittings, service hose fittings and service equipment fittings (equipment which handles
refrigerant and/or lubricant) are different between CFC-12 (R-12) and HFC-134a (R-134a). This is to avoid
mixed use of the refrigerants/lubricant.
Adapters that convert one size fitting to another must never be used: refrigerant/lubricant contamination will
occur and compressor malfunction will result.

Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in CompressorEJS000TH
The lubricant in the compressor circulates through the system with the refrigerant. Add lubricant to compres-
sor when replacing any component or after a large gas leakage occurred. It is important to maintain the speci-
fied amount.
If lubricant quantity is not maintained properly, the following malfunctions may result:
●Lack of lubricant: May lead to a seized compressor
●Excessive lubricant: Inadequate cooling (thermal exchange interference)
LUBRICANT
LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION
Adjust the lubricant quantity according to the test group shown below.
1. CHECK LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION
Can lubricant return operation be performed?
●A/C system works properly.
●There is no evidence of a large amount of lubricant leakage.
YES or NO
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> GO TO 3.
2. PERFORM LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION, PROCEEDING AS FOLLOWS:
1. Start engine, and set the following conditions:
–Test 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 30°C (77 to 86°F).]
Intake position: Recirculation (REC)
2. Perform lubricant return operation for about 10 minutes.
3. Stop engine.
CAUTION:
If excessive lubricant leakage is noted, do not perform the lubricant return operation.
>> GO TO 3.
3. CHECK COMPRESSOR
Should the compressor be replaced?
YES or NO
YES >> Go to AT C - 2 5 , "LUBRICANT ADJUSTING PROCEDURE FOR COMPRESSOR REPLACE-
MENT" .
NO >> GO TO 4.With gasoline engine

Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EKS0079M
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING:
●To 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/INFINITI dealer.
●Improper 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 SRS section.
●Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harness connec-
tors.
Precaution EKS003KS
●Do not touch the glass of bulb directly by hand. Keep grease and other oily matters away from it. Do not
touch bulb by hand while it is lit or right after being turned off. Burning may result.
●Do not leave bulb out of headlamp reflector for a long time because dust, moisture smoke, etc. may affect
the performance of the headlamp. When replacing the bulb, be sure to replace it with a new one.
●Adjust aiming by tightening aiming screw. (To adjust it toward loosening side, first loosen adjusting screw,
and then make adjustment by tightening.)
●To remove soil or sealant of bulbs, do not use organic solvent (thinner, gasoline, etc.)
●When replacing bulb, be sure to hold bulb socket and pull it out straight. If wiring harness of the bulb is
pulled at an angle, the bulb may be caught in the lamp, making it difficult to take out.
Wiring Diagrams and Trouble Diagnosis EKS003KT
When you read wiring diagrams, refer to the followings:
●Refer to GI-13, "How to Read Wiring Diagrams" in GI section
●Refer to PG-2, "POWER SUPPLY ROUTING" for power distribution circuit in PG section
When you perform trouble diagnosis, refer to the followings:
●Refer to GI-10, "HOW TO FOLLOW TEST GROUPS IN TROUBLE DIAGNOSES" in GI section
●Refer toGI-23, "How to Perform Efficient Diagnosis for an Electrical Incident" in GI section

WARNING LAMPS
Electrical Components Inspection
EKS002HK
FUEL WARNING LAMP OPERATION CHECK
1. Turn ignition switch “OFF”.
2. Disconnect sub fuel level sensor unit harness connector B125
(LHD models) or B21 (RHD models).
3. Connect a resistor (80Ω) between sub fuel level sensor unit har-
ness connector terminal 1(G) and ground.
4. Turn ignition switch “ON”.
The fuel warning lamp should come on.
OIL PRESSURE SWITCH CHECK
Check the continuity between the terminals of oil pressure switch
and body ground.
DIODE CHECK
●Check continuity using an ohmmeter.
●Diode is functioning properly if test results are as shown in the
figure at left.
●Check diodes at the combination meter harness connector
instead of on the combination meter assembly. Refer toDI-44,
"Wiring Diagram — WARN —/ LHD Models" orDI-50, "Wiring
Diagram — WARN — / RHD Models" .
NOTE:
Specification may vary depending on the type of tester. Before
performing this inspection, be sure to refer to the instruction
manual for the tester to be used.

The following tables show the normal maintenance schedule. Depending upon weather and atmospheric con-
ditions, varying road surfaces, individual driving habits and vehicle usage, additional or more frequent mainte-
nance may be required.
Periodic maintenance beyond the last period shown on the tables requires similar maintenance.
ENGINE AND EMISSION CONTROL MAINTENANCE (QR20DE AND QR25DE PETROL ENGINE)
(Annual Mileage <30,000 Km/year)
Abbreviations: I = Inspect and correct or replace as necessary,R = Replace,.
NOTE:
● Maintenance items with “ ” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving
Conditions”.
●(1)Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increases, check valve clearance.
●(2) Replace the drive belts if found damaged or if the auto belt tensioner reading reaches the maximum limit.
●(3) First replace at 90,000 Km (54,000 miles)/60 months, then every 60,000 km (36,000 miles)/48 months. Perform "I"
(Checking the mixture ratio and correcting the mixture ratio if necessary) at the middle of replacement interval.
●(4) Fuel filter is maintenance-free. For service procedures, refer to FL section.
●(5) Perform only according to "Maintenance Under Severe Driving conditions" for models without Euro-OBD system. For
models with Euro-OBD system, periodic maintenance is not required.
