Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in CompressorEJS006AZ
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:
lLack of lubricant: May lead to a seized compressor
lExcessive lubricant: Inadequate cooling (thermal exchange interference)

Name: NISSAN A/C System Lubricant Type S (DH-PS) or equivalent
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
lEngine speed: Idling to 1,200 rpm
lA/C switch: On
lBlower speed: Max. position
lTemp. control: Optional [Set so that intake air temperature is 25°to 30°C(77°to 86°F)]
lIntake position: Recirculation ( )
lPerform 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:
l*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 toAT C - 4 , "
Contaminated Refrigerant".
3. Confirm refrigerant purity in vehicle A/C system using recovery/recycling equipment and refrigerant identi-
fier. If NG, refer toAT C - 4 , "
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.
7. Measure an amount of new lubricant installed equal to amount drained from “old” compressor. Add this
lubricant to “new” compressor through the suction port opening.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
CHECKING DISCHARGE AIR
1. Press MODE switch four times and the DEF switch.
2. Each position indicator should change shape (on display).
3. Confirm that discharge air comes out according to the air distri-
bution table. Refer toAT C - 3 0 , "
Discharge Air Flow".
Mode door position is checked in the next step.
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure forAT C - 6 3 , "
Mode Door
Motor Circuit".
If OK, continue the check.
NOTE:
Confirm that the compressor clutch is engaged (sound or visual
inspection) and intake door position is at fresh when the DEF or D/F
is selected.
CHECKING RECIRCULATION
1. Press recirculation ( ) switch one time. Recirculation indica-
tor should illuminate.
2. Press recirculation ( ) switch one more time. Recirculation
indicator should go off.
3. Listen for intake door position change (blower sound should
change slightly).
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure forAT C - 7 7 , "
Intake Door
Motor Circuit".
If OK, continue next check.
NOTE:
Confirm that the compressor clutch is engaged (sound or visual
inspection) and intake door position is at fresh when the DEF or D/F is selected.
CHECKING TEMPERATURE DECREASE
1. Rotate temperature control dial (driver side) counterclockwise
until 18°C(60°F) is displayed.
2. Check for cold air at appropriate discharge air outlets.
If NG, listen for sound of air mix door motor operation. If OK, go to

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Mode Door Motor
The mode door motor is attached to the heater & cooling unit. It
rotates so that air is discharged from the outlet as indicated by the
front air control. Motor rotation is conveyed to a link which activates
themodedoor.

This illustration is for LHD models. The layout for RHD models is
symmetrically opposite.

connector.
3. Check continuity between front air control harness connector
M60 terminal 1 and mode door motor harness connector M46

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Air Mix Door Motors
The driver and passenger air mix door motors are attached to the
heater & cooling unit. These motors rotate so that the air mix door is
opened or closed to a position set by the front air control. Motor rota-
tion is then conveyed through a shaft and the air mix door position is
then fed back to the front air control by the PBR built into the air mix
door motors.
NOTE:
The illustrations for air mix door motors (driver and passenger) are
for LHD models. The layout for RHD models is symmetrically oppo-
site.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Blower Speed Compensation - Sunload
When the in-vehicle temperature and the set temperature are very close, the blower will be operating at low
speed. The speed will vary depending on the sunload. During conditions of low or no sunload, the blower
operates at low speed. During high sunload conditions, the front air control causes the blower speed to
increase.
Blower Speed Control Specification
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Variable Blower Control
The variable blower control is located on the cooling unit. The vari-
able blower control receives a gate voltage from the front air control
to steplessly maintain the blower motor voltage in the 0 to 5 volt
range (approx.).
NOTE:
This illustration is for LHD models. The layout for RHD models is
symmetrically opposite.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR BLOWER MOTOR
SYMPTOM: Blower motor operation is malfunctioning under starting
blower speed control.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSES FOR UNUSUAL PRESSURE
Whenever system¢s high and/or low side pressure is unusual, diagnose using a manifold gauge. The marker
above the gauge scale in the following tables indicates the standard (usual) pressure range. Since the stan-
dard (usual) pressure, however, differs from vehicle to vehicle, refer to above table (Ambient air temperature-
to-operating pressure table).
