2004 NISSAN TERRANO refrigerant type

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) ªAIR
BAGº and ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº
The Supplemental Restraint System such as ªAIR BAGº and ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº used along with
a seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain types of
collision. The SRS composition which is available to NISSAN MODEL R20 is as follows (The composition
varies according to the destination and optional equipment.):
IFor a frontal collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of driver air bag module (located in the center of the steer-
ing wheel), front passenger air bag module (located on the instrument panel on passenger side), front seat
belt pre-tensioners, a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring harness and spiral cable.
I For a side collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of front side air bag module (located in the outer side of front
seat), side air bag (satellite) sensor, diagnosis sensor unit (one of components of air bags for a frontal
collision), wiring harness, warning lamp (one of components of air bags for a frontal collision).
WARNING:
I 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 should be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN dealer.
I Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system.
I Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. Spiral cable and wiring harnesses covered with yellow insulation tape either just
before the harness connectors or for the complete harness are related to the SRS.
Introduction
To prevent the ozone layer from being destroyed, the HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant has replaced the previ-
ously used CFC-12 (R-12).
The new and previous service tools, refrigerant, lubricant, etc. are not interchangeable due to differences in
their physical properties and characteristics.
Always service the HFC-134a (R-134a) air conditioning system using the specified tools, lubricant and
refrigerant, observing the following precautions:
PRECAUTIONS

Precautions for Working with HFC-134a
(R-134a)
WARNING:I CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant must never be mixed, even in the
smallest amounts, as they are incompatible with each other. If the refrigerants are mixed, com-
pressor failure is likely to occur.
I Use only specified lubrication oil for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a)
components. If lubrication oil other than that specified is used, compressor failure is likely to
occur.
I The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) lubrication oil absorbs moisture from the atmosphere at a rapid
rate, therefore the following handling precautions must be observed:
a: When removing refrigerant components from a vehicle, immediately cap (seal) the component to minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere.
b: When installing refrigerant components to a vehicle, do not remove the caps (unseal) until just before connecting the components. Also, complete the connection of all refrigerant loop
components as quickly as possible to minimize the entry of moisture into the system.
c: Use the specified lubrication oil from a sealed container only. Containers must be re-sealed immediately after dispensing the lubrication oil. Lubrication oil in containers which are not
properly sealed will become moisture saturated, and such lubrication oil is no longer suitable
for use and should be properly disposed of.
d: Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and throat. Use only approved recovery/recycling equipment to discharge HFC-134a (R-134a)
system. If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service.
Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and lubricant
manufacturers.
e: Do not allow lubrication oil (Nissan A/C System Oil Type S or Type R) to come in contact with styrofoam parts. Damage may result.
General Refrigerant Precautions
WARNING:
I Do not release refrigerant into the air. Use approved recovery/recycling equipment to capture the
refrigerant every time an air conditioning system is discharged.
I Always wear eye and hand protection (goggles and gloves) when working with any refrigerant or
air conditioning system.
I Do not store or heat refrigerant containers above 52ÉC (125ÉF).
I Do not heat a refrigerant container with an open flame; if container warming is required, place the
bottom of the container in a warm pail of water.
I Do not drop, puncture, or incinerate refrigerant containers.
I Keep refrigerant away from open flames: poisonous gas will be produced if refrigerant burns.
I Refrigerant will displace oxygen, therefore be certain to work in well ventilated areas to prevent
suffocation.
I Do not introduce compressed air to any refrigerant container or refrigerant component.

Precautions for Refrigerant Connection
WARNING:
Make sure all refrigerant is discharged into the recycling equipment and the pressure in the system
is less than atmospheric. Then gradually loosen the discharge side hose fitting and remove it.
CAUTION:
When replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components, observe the following.
IDo not leave compressor on its side or upside down for more than 10 minutes, as compressor oil
will enter low pressure chamber.
I When connecting tubes, always use a torque wrench and a back-up wrench.
I After disconnecting tubes, plug all openings immediately to prevent entrance of dirt and moisture.
I When installing an air conditioner in the vehicle, the pipes must be connected at the final stage of
the operation. The seal caps of the pipes and other components must not be removed until their
removal is required for connection.
I To prevent the condensation of moisture inside A/C components, components stored in cool areas
should be allowed to warm to the working area temperature before removing the seal caps.
I Thoroughly remove moisture from the refrigeration system before charging the refrigerant.
I Always replace used O-rings.
I When connecting tube, apply lubrication oil to portions shown in illustration. Be careful not to
apply oil to threaded portion.
Lubrication oil name: NISSAN A/C System Oil Type S
Part number: KLH00-PAGS0
I O-ring must be closely attached to inflated portion of tube.
I After inserting tube into union until O-ring is no longer visible, tighten nut to specified torque.
I 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
connections of seal seat to the specified torque.

HFC-134a (R-134a) Service Tools and
Equipment
It is important to understand that HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant, and the specified lubricant which must be
used with HFC-134a (R-134a), must never be mixed with CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and/or the CFC-12 (R-12)
lubricant.
This means that separate and non-interchangeable service equipment must be used for handling each type
of refrigerant/lubricant.
To prevent the mixing of refrigerants/lubricants, 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).
Adaptors to convert from one size of fitting to another must never be used: refrigerant/lubricant contamination
will occur and compressor failure will result.

Lubrication Oil
Name: Nissan A/C System Oil Type S
Part number: KLH00-PAGS0
Maintenance of Oil Quantity in Compressor
The oil used to lubricate the compressor circulates through the
system with the refrigerant. Whenever any component of the sys-
tem is replaced or a large amount of gas leakage occurs, add oil
to the compressor to maintain the specified amount.
If oil quantity is not maintained properly, the following malfunctions
may result:
ILack of oil: May lead to a seized compressor
I Excessive oil: Inadequate cooling (thermal exchange impeded)
Checking and Adjusting
Adjust the oil quantity according to the flowchart shown below.
