Revision: August 20072004 QX56
INSTALLATION
Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of
the removal, while paying attention to the following work.

If removed, install drive plate.
–Align dowel pin of crankshaft rear end with pin holes of each
parts to install.
–Install drive plate, reinforcement plate and pilot converter as
shown.
–Face chamfered or rounded edge side to crankshaft.
CAUTION:

When replacing an engine or transmission you must make
sure the dowels are installed correctly during re-assembly.

Improper alignment caused by missing dowels may cause
vibration, oil leaks or breakage of drivetrain components.

When installing transmission to the engine, attach the bolts in
accordance with the following standard.
*: No.2 bolt also secures air breather vent.
–Align the positions of tightening bolts for drive plate with those of
the torque converter, and temporarily tighten the bolts. Then,
tighten the bolts with the specified torque.
CAUTION:

When turning crankshaft, turn it clockwise as viewed from the front of the engine.

After converter is installed to drive plate, rotate crankshaft several turns and check to be sure that
transmission rotates freely without binding.

After completing installation, check fluid leakage, fluid level, and the positions of A/T. Refer to AT-13,
"Checking A/T Fluid" , AT-234, "Checking of A/T Position" , AT-234, "Adjustment of A/T Position" .

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 con-
nections of seal seat to the specified torque.
Precautions for Servicing CompressorEJS002BM

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 ATC-22, "
Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compressor" .

Keep 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.

After compressor service operation, turn the compressor shaft by hand more than 5 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 1 hour.

After replacing the compressor magnet clutch, apply voltage to the new one and check for normal
operation. Refer to ATC-167, "
Removal and Installation for Compressor Clutch"
Precautions for Service EquipmentEJS002BN
RECOVERY/RECYCLING EQUIPMENT
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for machine operation and machine maintenance. Never introduce any
refrigerant other than that specified into the machine.
ELECTRONIC LEAK DETECTOR
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for tester operation and tester maintenance.

LUBRICANT
Revision: August 20072004 QX56
LUBRICANTPFP:KLG00
Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in CompressorEJS002BV
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 refrigerant leakage has occurred. It is important to maintain
the specified 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
Name: NISSAN A/C System Lubricant Type S (DH-PS)
Part number: KLH00-PAGS0
CHECKING AND ADJUSTING
CAUTION:
If excessive lubricant leakage is noted, do not perform the lubricant return operation.
Start the engine and set the following conditions:
test condition

Engine speed: Idling to 1,200 rpm

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).]

Intake position: Recirculation ( )

Perform lubricant return operation for about ten minutes
Adjust the lubricant quantity according to the following table.
Lubricant Adjusting Procedure for Components Replacement Except Compressor
After replacing any of the following major components, add the correct amount of lubricant to the system.
Amount of Lubricant to be Added
*1: If refrigerant leak is small, no addition of lubricant is needed.
Lubricant Adjustment Procedure for Compressor Replacement
1. Before connecting recovery/recycling equipment to vehicle, check recovery/recycling equipment gauges.
No refrigerant pressure should be displayed. If NG, recover refrigerant from equipment lines.
2. Connect recovery/recycling equipment to vehicle. Confirm refrigerant purity in supply tank using recovery/
recycling equipment and refrigerant identifier. If NG, refer to AT C - 5 , "
Contaminated Refrigerant" .
3. Confirm refrigerant purity in vehicle A/C system using recovery/recycling equipment and refrigerant identi-
fier. If NG, refer to AT C - 5 , "
Contaminated Refrigerant" .
4. Discharge refrigerant into the refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment. Measure lubricant discharged into
the recovery/recycling equipment.
5. Drain the lubricant from the “old” (removed) compressor into a graduated container and recover the
amount of lubricant drained.
6. Drain the lubricant from the “new” compressor into a separate, clean container.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Revision: August 20072004 QX56
Using Confirmation/Adjustment Mode (NAVI)
NOTE:
Ambient temperature must be at least 10° C (50° F) to run self-diagnosis.
1. Start engine.
2. Turn the audio system off.
3. While pressing the "PAUSE/MUTE" button, turn the volume con-
trol dial clockwise or counterclockwise for 30 clicks or more.
(When the self diagnosis mode is started, a short beep will be
heard.)

Shifting from current screen to previous screen is performed
by pressing "PREV" button.
4. The initial self-diagnosis screen will be shown, and items "Self-
Diagnosis (DCU)", "Self-Diagnosis (NAVI)", "Confirmation/
Adjustment" and "CAN DIAG SUPPORT MONITOR" will
become selective.
5. When "Confirmation/Adjustment" is selected on the initial self-
diagnosis screen, the operation will enter CONFIRMATION/
ADJUSTMENT mode. In this mode, check and adjustment of
each item will become possible.
6. The initial trouble diagnosis screen will be shown, and items
"display Diagnosis", "Vehicle Signals", "Auto Climate Control"
and "Navigation" will become selective.
7. Select the "Auto Climate Control" switch on "CONFIRMATION/
ADJUSTMENT" screen to display the "Auto Climate Control"
diagnosis screen to begin diagnosis The front blower speed indi-
cation bars will flash and the ambient temperature display will
indicate 0° during the self-diagnosis. Fault codes (if any are
present) will be displayed in the ambient temperature display area. Refer to ATC-55, "
