CONTROL VALVE WITH TCM REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Removal
1. Disconnect negative battery terminal
2. Drain ATF through drain plug.
3. Disconnect A/T assembly harness connector.
4. Remove snap ring from A/T assembly harness connector.
5. Push A/T assembly harness connector.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage connector.
6. Remove oil pan and oil pan gasket.
7. Check foreign materials in oil pan to help determine causes of
malfunction. If the A/T fluid is very dark, smells burned, or con-
tains foreign particles, frictional material (clutches, band) may
need replacement. A tacky film that will not wipe clean indicates
varnish build up. Varnish can cause valves, servo, and clutches
to stick and can inhibit pump pressure.
If frictional material is detected, perform A/T fluid cooler
cleaning. Refer to AT- 1 5 , "
A/T Fluid Cooler Cleaning" .

3. Remove oil pan and oil pan gasket.
4. Check foreign materials in oil pan to help determine causes of
malfunction. If the A/T fluid is very dark, smells burned, or con-
tains foreign particles, frictional material (clutches, band) may
need replacement. A tacky film that will not wipe clean indicates

PRECAUTIONS
Revision: August 20072004 QX56
CAUTION:
The new and former refrigerant connections use different O-ring configurations. Do not confuse O-
rings since they are not interchangeable. If a wrong O-ring is installed, refrigerant will leak at or
around the connection.
O-Ring Part Numbers and Specifications
*: Always check with the Parts Department for the latest parts information.
WAR NIN G:
Make sure all refrigerant is discharged into the recycling equipment and the pressure in the system is
less than atmospheric pressure. Then gradually loosen the discharge side hose fitting and remove it.
CAUTION:
When replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components, observe the following.
When 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.
When connecting tubes, always use a torque wrench and a back-up wrench.
After disconnecting tubes, immediately plug all openings to prevent entry of dirt and moisture.
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 DH-PS
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.

REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
Revision: August 20072004 QX56
REFRIGERATION SYSTEMPFP:KA990
Refrigerant CycleEJS002BS
REFRIGERANT FLOW
The refrigerant flows in the standard pattern, that is, through the compressor, the condenser with liquid tank,
through the front and rear evaporators, and back to the compressor. The refrigerant evaporation through the
evaporator coils are controlled by front and rear externally equalized expansion valves, located inside the front
and rear evaporator cases.
Refrigerant System ProtectionEJS002BT
REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR
The refrigerant system is protected against excessively high or low pressures by the refrigerant pressure sen-
sor, located on the condenser. 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 a voltage signal to the ECM.
The ECM deenergizes the A/C relay to disengage the magnetic compressor clutch 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 120 kPa (1.22 kg/cm
2 , 17.4 psi).
