CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT
If a refrigerant other than pure HFC-134a (R-134a) is identified in a vehicle, take appropriate steps
shown below:

Explain to the customer that environmental regulations prohibit the release of contaminated refrigerant
into the atmosphere.

Explain that recovery of the contaminated refrigerant could damage service equipment and refrigerant
supply.

Suggest the customer return the vehicle to the location of previous service where the contamination may
have occurred.

In case of repairing, recover the refrigerant using only dedicated equipment and containers. Never
recover contaminated refrigerant into the existing service equipment. If the facility does not have
dedicated recovery equipment, contact a local refrigerant product retailer for available service. This refrig-
erant must be disposed of in accordance with all federal and local regulations. In addition, replacement of
all refrigerant system components on the vehicle is recommended.

If the vehicle is within the warranty period, the air conditioner warranty is void. Please contact Nissan Cus-
tomer Affairs for further assistance.
General Refrigerant PrecautionsAJS001XJ
WARNING:

Never release refrigerant into the air. Use approved recovery/recycling equipment to capture the
refrigerant every time an air conditioning system is discharged.

Always wear eye and hand protection (goggles and gloves) when working with any refrigerant or
air conditioning system.

Never store or heat refrigerant containers above 52 °C (125 °F).

Never 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.

Never intentionally drop, puncture, or incinerate refrigerant containers.

Keep refrigerant away from open flames: poisonous gas will be produced if refrigerant burns.

Refrigerant will displace oxygen, therefore be certain to work in well ventilated areas to prevent
suffocation.

Never pressure test or leak test HFC-134a (R-134a) service equipment and/or vehicle air condition-
ing systems with compressed air during repair. Some mixtures of air and HFC-134a (R-134a) have
been shown to be combustible at elevated pressures. These mixtures, if ignited, may cause injury
or property damage. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant
manufacturers.

REFRIGERATION SYSTEM

V-6 Variable Displacement CompressorAJS001BE
GENERAL INFORMATION
1. The V-6 variable compressor differs from previous units. The vent temperatures of the V-6 variable com-
pressor do not drop too far below 5 °C (41 °F) when:
Evaporator intake air temperature is less than 20 °C (68 °F).
Engine is running at speeds less than 1,500 rpm.
This is because the V-6 compressor provides a means of “capacity” control.
2. The V-6 variable compressor provides refrigerant control under varying conditions. During cold winters, it may not produce high refrigerant pressure discharge (compared to previous units) when used with air
conditioning systems.
3. A “clanking” sound may occasionally be heard during refrigerant charge. The sound indicates that the tilt angle of the wobble (swash) plate has changed and is not a malfunction.
4. For air conditioning systems with the V-6 compressor, the clutch remains engaged unless: the system main switch, fan switch or ignition switch is turned OFF. When ambient (outside) temperatures are low or
when the amount of refrigerant is insufficient, the clutch is disengaged to protect the compressor.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Revision: 2005 July 2005 FX
Low-pressure Side Sometimes Becomes Negative
Low-pressure Side Becomes Negative
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE FOR INSUFFICIENT COOLING
SYMPTOM: Insufficient cooling
1. CHECK POWER SUPPLY FOR ECV (ELECTRONIC CONTROL VALVE)
1. Disconnect compressor (ECV) connector.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Check voltage between compressor (ECV) harness connector F6 terminal 2 (G) and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> Check power supply circuit and 10 A fuse [No. 12, located in the fuse block (J/B)]. Refer to PG-82, "
FUSE
BLOCK - JUNCTION BOX (J/B)" .

If fuse is OK, check harness for open circuit. Repair or replace if necessary.

If fuse is NG, replace fuse and check harness for short circuit. Repair or replace if necessary.
Gauge indication Refrigerant cycle Probable cause Corrective action
Low-pressure side sometimes
becomes negative.

Air conditioning system
does not function and does
not cyclically cool the com-
partment air.

The system constantly func-
tions for a certain period of
time after compressor is
stopped and restarted. Refrigerant does not dis-
charge cyclically.
↓
Moisture is frozen at expan-
sion valve outlet and inlet.
↓
Water is mixed with refriger-
ant.

Drain water from refrigerant
or replace refrigerant.

Replace liquid tank.
AC354A
Gauge indication Refrigerant cycle Probable cause Corrective action
Low-pressure side becomes nega-
tive.
Liquid tank or front/rear side of
expansion valve’s pipe is
frosted or dewed. High-pressure side is closed
and refrigerant does not flow.
↓
Expansion valve or liquid tank
is frosted. Leave the system at rest until
no frost is present. Start it
again to check whether or not
the malfunction is caused by
water or foreign particles.

If water is the cause, initially
cooling is okay. Then the
water freezes causing a
blockage. Drain water from
refrigerant or replace refrig-
erant.

If due to foreign particles,
remove expansion valve
and remove the particles
with dry and compressed air
(not shop air).

If either of the above meth-
ods cannot correct the mal-
function, replace expansion
valve.

Replace liquid tank.

Check lubricant for contami-
nation.
