AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL
AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL
PFP:27500
DescriptionEJS006B0
The front air control provides automatic regulation of the vehicle's interior temperature. The system is based
on the driver's and passenger's selected “set temperature”, regardless of the outside temperature changes.
This is done by utilizing a microcomputer, also referred to as the front air control, which receives input signals
from the following six sensors:
lAmbient sensor
lIn-vehicle sensor
lIntake sensor
lOptical sensor (one sensor for driver and passenger side)
lPBR (Position Balanced Resistor).
lVehicle speed sensor
The front air control uses these signals (including the set temperature) to automatically control:
lOutlet air volume
lAir temperature
lAir distribution
The front air control is used to select:
lOutlet air volume
lAir temperature/distribution
OperationEJS006B1
AIR MIX DOORS CONTROL
The air mix doors are automatically controlled so that in-vehicle temperature is maintained at a predetermined
value by the temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle temperature and amount of sunload.
BLOWER SPEED CONTROL
Blower speed is automatically controlled by the temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle tempera-
ture, intake temperature, amount of sunload and air mix door position.
When AUTO switch is pressed, the blower motor starts to gradually increase air flow volume (if required).
When engine coolant temperature is low, the blower motor operation is delayed to prevent cool air from flow-
ing.
INTAKE DOOR CONTROL
The intake door is automatically controlled by the temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle tem-
perature, intake temperature, amount of sunload and the ON-OFF operation of the compressor.
MODE DOOR CONTROL
The mode door is automatically controlled by the temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle temper-
ature, intake temperature and amount of sunload.
DEFROSTER DOOR CONTROL
The defroster door is controlled by: Turning the defroster dial to front defroster.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Component Parts
Blower speed control system components are:
lFront air control
lIn-vehicle sensor
lAmbient sensor
lOptical sensor
lIntake sensor
System Operation
Automatic Mode
In the automatic mode, the blower motor speed is calculated by the front air control and variable blower control
based on input from the in-vehicle sensor, optical sensor, intake sensor and ambient sensor, and potentio tem-
perature control (PTC).
When the air flow is increased, the blower motor speed is adjusted gradually. to prevent a sudden increase in
air flow.
In addition to manual air flow control and the usual automatic air flow control, starting air flow control, low
water temperature starting control and high passenger compartment temperature starting control are avail-
able.
Starting Blower Speed Control
Start up from cold soak condition (Automatic mode).
In a cold start up condition where the engine coolant temperature is below 50°C(122°F), the blower will not
operate at blower speed 1 for a short period of time (up to 210 seconds). The exact start delay time varies
depending on the ambient and engine coolant temperatures.
In the most extreme case (very low ambient temperature) the blower starting delay will be 210 seconds as
described above. After the coolant temperature reaches 50°C(122°F), or the 210 seconds has elapsed, the
blower speed will increase to the objective blower speed.
Start up from usual operating or hot soak condition (Automatic mode).
The blower will begin operation momentarily after the AUTO switch is pushed. The blower speed will gradually
rise to the objective speed over a time period of 3 seconds or less (actual time depends on the objective
blower speed).

3. Fill radiator and reservoir tank to the specified level.
lPour engine coolant through engine coolant filler neck
slowly of less than 2 (1-3/4 lmp qt) a minute to allow air
in system to escape.
lUse Genuine Nissan Anti-freeze Coolant (L250) or equiva-
lent in its quality. Refer toMA-14, "
RECOMMENDED FLU-
IDS AND LUBRICANTS".
lWhen engine coolant overflows air relief hole, install air relief
plug.
4. Warm up engine to normal operating temperature without radiator cap and reservoir tank cap installed.
lIf engine coolant overflows radiator filler hole and reservoir tank filler hole, install radiator cap
and reservoir tank cap.
5. Run engine at 3,000 rpm for 10 seconds and return to idle speed with radiator cap installed.
lRepeat two or three times.
CAUTION:
Watch engine coolant temperature gauge so as not to overheat the engine.
6. Stop engine and cool down to less than approximately 50°C(122°F).
lCool down using a fan to reduce the time.
lIf necessary, refill radiator up to filler neck with engine coolant.
7. Refill reservoir tank to MAX level line with engine coolant.
8. Repeat steps 3 through 6 two or more times with radiator cap installed until engine coolant level no longer
drops.
9. Check cooling system for leaks with engine running.
10. Warm up engine, and check for sound of engine coolant flow while running engine from idle up to 3,000
rpm with heater temperature controller set at several position between COOL and WARM.
lSound may be noticeable at heater unit.
11. Repeat step 10 three times.
12. If sound is heard, bleed air from cooling system by repeating steps 3 through 6 until engine coolant level
no longer drops.
FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM
1. Fill radiator with water until water spills from the air relief hole, then close air relief plug. Fill radiator and
reservoir tank with water and reinstall radiator cap and reservoir tank cap.
2. Run engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
3. Rev engine two or three times under no-load.
4. Stop engine and wait until it cools down.
5. Drain water from the system. Refer toCO-8, "
DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT". Engine coolant capacity

9. Remove oil level gauge guide mounting bolt, vacuum hoses (to turbocharger boost control solenoid valve)
and spill hose. Refer toEM-36, "
OIL PAN AND OIL STRAINER",EM-20, "INTAKE MANIFOLD"andEM-
44, "INJECTION TUBE AND FUEL INJECTOR".
10. Disconnect water hoses (to EGR cooler) (A/T models), vacuum hoses and heater feed hose at heater

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Thermostat
lPlace a string so that it is caught in the valves of the thermostat.
Immerse fully in a container filled with water. Heat while stirring.
lThe valve opening temperature is the temperature at which the
valve opens and falls from the thread.
lContinue heating. Check the full-open lift amount.
lAfter checking the full-open lift amount, lower the water temper-
ature and check the valve closing temperature.
Standard values
lIf out of the standard, replace thermostat.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
lSecurely insert each hose, and install clamp at a position where it does not interfere with the pipe bulge.
lWhen inserting heater feed pipe end into cylinder head, apply a neutral detergent to O-ring. Then insert it
immediately.
