CAUTION:
When replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components, observe the following.
lWhen the compressor is removed, store it in the same position as it is when mounted on the car.
Failure to do so will cause lubricant to enter the low pressure chamber.
lWhen connecting tubes, always use a torque wrench and a back-up wrench.
lAfter disconnecting tubes, immediately plug all openings to prevent entry of dirt and moisture.
lWhen 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.
lAllow components stored in cool areas to warm to working area temperature before removing seal
caps. This prevents condensation from forming inside A/C components.
lThoroughly remove moisture from the refrigeration system before charging the refrigerant.
lAlways replace used O-rings.
lWhen 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 S
Part number: KLH00-PAGS0
lO-ring must be closely attached to dented portion of tube.
lWhen replacing the O-ring, be careful not to damage O-ring and tube.
lConnect 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.
lAfter 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 con-
nections of seal seat to the specified torque.
Precautions for Servicing CompressorEJS000T5
lPlug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering.
lWhen the compressor is removed, store it in the same position as it is when mounted on the car.
lWhen replacing or repairing compressor, follow “Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compres-
sor” exactly. Refer toATC-21, "
Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compressor".
lKeep friction surfaces between clutch and pulley clean. If the surface is contaminated, with lubri-
cant, wipe it off by using a clean waste cloth moistened with thinner.
lAfter 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.

PREPARATION
HFC-134a (R-134a) Service Tools and Equipment
EJS000TB
Never mix HFC-134a refrigerant and/or its specified lubricant with CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and/or its lubri-
cant.
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 failure will result.

REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
PFP:KA990
Refrigerant CycleEJS000TD
REFRIGERANT FLOW
The refrigerant flows in the standard pattern, that is, through the compressor, the condenser with liquid tank,
through the 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 (WITH GASOLINE ENGINE: CWV-615M COMPRESSOR)
Under normal operating conditions, when the A/C is switched on, the compressor runs continuously, and the
evaporator pressure, and therefore, temperature is controlled by the V-6 variable displacement compressor to
prevent freeze up.
Refrigerant System ProtectionEJS000TE
REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR (WITH GASOLINE ENGINE: CWV-615M COMPRESSOR)
The refrigerant system is protected against excessively high or low pressures by the refrigerant pressure sen-
sor, located on the liquid tank. If the system pressure rises above, or falls below the specifications, the refriger-
ant pressure sensor detects the pressure inside the refrigerant line and sends the voltage signal to the ECM.
ECM makes the A/C relay go OFF and stops the compressor when pressure on the high pressure side
detected by refrigerant pressure sensor is over about 2,746 kPa (28 kg/cm
2, 398 psi), or below about 134 kPa
(1.4 kg/cm
2,20psi).
DUAL-PRESSURE SWITCH (WITH DIESEL ENGINE: DKV-11G COMPRESSOR)
The refrigerant system is protected against excessively high or low pressures by the dual-pressure switch,
located on the liquid tank. If the system pressure rises above or falls below the specifications, the dual-pres-
sure switch opens to interrupt the compressor operation.
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE (WITH GASOLINE ENGINE: CWV-615M COMPRESSOR)
The refrigerant system is also protected by a pressure relief valve, located in the rear head of the compressor.
When the pressure of refrigerant in the system increases to an abnormal level [more than 3,727 kPa (38 kg/
