Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in
Compressor
NJHA0160The lubricant in 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:
Lack of lubricant: May lead to a seized compressor
Excessive lubricant: Inadequate cooling (thermal exchange
interference)
LUBRICANTNJHA0160S01Name: Nissan A/C System Oil Type S
Part number: KLH00-PAGS0
CHECKING AND ADJUSTINGNJHA0160S02Adjust the lubricant quantity according to the test group shown
below.

A/C switch: ON
Blower speed: Max. position
Temp. control: Optional [Set so that intake air temperature is 25 to 30°C (77 to 86°F).]
2. Perform lubricant return operation for about 10 minutes.
3. Stop engine.
CAUTION:

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 steps 7 - 10.
7. Start engine.
8. Set the heater A/C control as follows:
1) A/C switch ON.
2) Face mode
3) Recirculation position
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. Discharge A/C system using approved refrigerant recovery
equipment. Repair the leaking fitting or component as neces-
sary.
12. Evacuate and recharge A/C system and perform the leak test
to confirm no refrigerant leaks.
13. Conduct A/C performance test to ensure system works
properly.

STARTING SYSTEM
System Description

System DescriptionNJSC0009The alternator provides DC voltage to operate the vehicle’s electrical system and to keep the battery charged.
The voltage output is controlled by the IC regulator.
Power is supplied at all times to alternator terminal 4 (S) through:
10A fuse (No. 39, located in the fuse and fusible link box).
Terminal B supplies power to charge the battery and operate the vehicle’s electrical system. Output voltage
is controlled by the IC regulator at terminal 4 (S) detecting the input voltage. The charging circuit is protected
by the 100A fusible link.
The alternator is grounded to the engine block.
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied
through 10A fuse [No. 30, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
to combination meter terminal 30
Ground is supplied to terminal 18 of the combination meter through terminal 3 (L) of the alternator. With power
and ground supplied, the charge warning lamp will illuminate. When the alternator is providing sufficient volt-
age with the engine running, the ground is opened and the charge warning lamp will go off.
If the charge warning lamp illuminates with the engine running, a fault is indicated.GI

Checking Hydraulic SystemNJST0016Before starting, check belt tension, driving pulley and tire pressure.
1. Set Tool. Open shut-off valve. Then bleed air. Refer to “Bleed-
ing Hydraulic System”, ST-8.
2. Run engine at idle speed or 1,000 rpm.
Make sure temperature of fluid in tank rises to 60 to 80°C (140
to 176°F).
WARNING:
Warm up engine with shut-off valve fully opened. If engine is
started with shut-off valve closed, fluid pressure in oil pump
increases to maximum. This will raise oil temperature abnor-
mally.
3. Check pressure with steering wheel fully turned to left and right
positions with engine idling at 1,000 rpm.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel in a locked position for more
than 15 seconds.
Oil pump maximum standard pressure:
QG15, 18 engine
8,600 - 9,200 kPa (86.0 - 92.0 bar, 88.7 - 93.8
kg/cm
2, 1,247 - 1,334 psi)
YD22 engine
8,800 - 9,400 kPa (88.0 - 94.0 bar, 88.7 - 95.8
kg/cm
2, 1,261 - 1,362 psi)
If pressure reaches maximum operating pressure, system is
OK.
If pressure increases above maximum operating pressure,
check power steering pump flow control valve. Refer to ST-25.
4. If power steering pressure is below the maximum operating
pressure, slowly close shut-off valve and check pressure
again.
CAUTION:
Do not close shut-off valve for more than 15 seconds.
If pressure increases to maximum operating pressure, gear is
damaged. Refer to “Removal and Installation”, ST-16.
If pressure remains below maximum operating pressure, pump
is damaged. Refer to “Disassembly”, ST-26.
5. After checking hydraulic system, remove Tool and add fluid as
necessary. Then completely bleed air out of system. Refer to
ST-8.
