Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in CompressorEJS005FV
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)
LUBRICANT
Name: NISSAN A/C System Lubricant Type S (DH-PS)
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. Discharge refrigerant into the refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment. Measure lubricant discharged into
the recovery/recycling equipment.
3. Drain the lubricant from the “old” (removed) compressor into a graduated container and recover the
amount of lubricant drained.
4. Drain the lubricant from the “new” compressor into a separate, clean container.
5. 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.
6. Measure an amount of new lubricant equal to the amount recovered during discharging. Add this lubricant
to “new” compressor through the suction port opening.
7. If the liquid tank also needs to be replaced, add an additional 5 m (0.2 Imp fl oz) of lubricant at this time.
Do not add this 5 m (0.2 Imp fl oz) of lubricant if only replacing the compressor.

AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL
AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL
PFP:27500
DescriptionEJS005FW
The front air control provides regulation of the vehicle's interior temperature. The system is based on the posi-
tion of the front air controls temperature switch selected by the driver. This is done by utilizing a microcom-
puter, also referred to as the front air control, which receives input signals from the following three sensors:
lIntake sensor
lPBR (Position Balanced Resistor).
The front air control uses these signals (including the set position of the temperature switch) to control:
lOutlet air volume
lAir temperature
lAir distribution
The front air control is used to select:
lOutlet air volume
lAir temperature/distribution
OperationEJS005FX
AIR MIX DOOR CONTROL
The air mix door is controlled so that in-vehicle temperature changed based on the position of the temperature
switch.
BLOWER SPEED CONTROL
Blower speed is controlled based on front blower switch settings.
When blower switch is turned, the blower motor starts and increases air flow volume each time the blower
switch is turned counterclockwise, and decreases air flow volume each time the blower switch is turned coun-
terclockwise.
When engine coolant temperature is low, the blower motor operation is delayed to prevent cool air from flow-
ing.
INTAKE DOORS CONTROL
The intake doors are controlled by the recirculation switch setting, and the mode (defroster) switch setting.
MODE DOOR CONTROL
The mode door is controlled by the position of the mode switch.
DEFROSTER DOOR CONTROL
The defroster door is controlled by: Turning the defroster dial to front defroster.

Operational CheckEJS005GB
The purpose of the operational check is to confirm that the system operates properly.
CHECKING BLOWER
1. Turn blower control switch clockwise. Blower should operate on
low speed. The blower symbol should have one blade lit (on dis-
play).
2. Turn the blower control switch again, and continue checking
blower speed and blower symbol until all speeds are checked.
3. Leave blower on MAX speed.
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for
If OK, continue with next check.
CHECKING DISCHARGE AIR
1. Turn the mode switch.
2. Each position indicator should change shape (on display, if
equipped).
3. Confirm that discharge air comes out according to the air distri-
bution table.
Mode door position is checked in the next step.
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure forMTC-58, "
Mode Door
Motor Circuit".
If OK, continue with 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 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 forMTC-68, "
Intake Door
Motor Circuit".
If OK, continue with 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.Conditions : Engine running and at normal operating temperature

CHECKING PROCEDURE
To prevent inaccurate or false readings, make sure there is no refrigerant vapor, shop chemicals, or cigarette
smoke in the vicinity of the vehicle. Perform the leak test in calm area (low air/wind movement) so that the
leaking refrigerant is not dispersed.
1. Turn engine OFF.
2. Connect a suitable A/C manifold gauge set (SST) to the A/C service valves.
3. Check if the A/C refrigerant pressure is at least 345 kPa (3.45 bar, 3.52 kg/cm
2, 50 psi) above 16°C. If
less than specification, recover/evacuate and recharge the system with the specified amount of refriger-
ant.
NOTE:
At temperatures below 16°C, leaks may not be detected since the system may not reach 345 kPa (3.45
bar, 3.52 kg/cm
2,50psi).
4. Perform the leak test from the high-pressure side (compressor discharge a to evaporator inlet g) to the
low-pressure side (evaporator drain hose h to shaft seal l). Refer toMTC-120, "
Components". Perform a
leak check for the following areas carefully. Clean the component to be checked and move the leak
detected probe completely around the connection/component.
Compressor
Check the fitting of high- and low-pressure flexible hoses, relief valve and shaft seal.
Liquid tank
Check the refrigerant pressure sensor.
Service valves
Check all around the service valves. Ensure service valve caps are secured on the service valves (to pre-
vent leaks).
NOTE:
After removing A/C manifold gauge set from service valves, wipe any residue from valves to prevent any
false readings by leak detector.
Cooling unit (Evaporator)
With engine OFF, turn blower fan on “High” for at least 15 seconds to dissipate any refrigerant trace in the
cooling unit. Wait a minimum of 10 minutes accumulation time (refer to the manufacturer’s recommended
procedure for actual wait time) before inserting the leak detector probe into the drain hose.
Keep the probe inserted for at least 10 seconds. Use caution not to contaminate the probe tip with water
or dirt that may be in the drain hose.
5. If a leak detector detects a leak, verify at least once by blowing compressed air into area of suspected
leak, then repeat check as outlined above.
6. Do not stop when one leak is found. Continue to check for additional leaks at all system components.
If no leaks are found, perform steps 7 - 10.
7. Start engine.
8. Set the heater A/C control as follows;
a. A/C switch: ON
b. MODE control dial: VENT (Ventilation)
c. Intake door position: Recirculation
d. Max. cold temperature
e. Fan speed: High
9. Run engine at 1,500 rpm for at least 2 minutes.
10. Turn engine off and perform leak check again following steps 4 through 6 above.
Refrigerant leaks should be checked immediately after stopping
the engine. Begin with the leak detector at the compressor. The
pressure on the high-pressure side will gradually drop after
refrigerant circulation stops and pressure on the low-pressure
side will gradually rise, as shown in the graph. Some leaks are
more easily detected when pressure is high.
