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).
Both High- and Low-pressure Sides are Too High
High-pressure Side is Too High and Low-pressure Side is Too Low
Gauge indication Refrigerant cycle Probable cause Corrective action
Both high- and low-pressure sides
are too high.Pressure is reduced soon
after water is splashed on
condenser.Excessive refrigerant charge
in refrigeration cycleReduce refrigerant until speci-
fied pressure is obtained.
Air suction by cooling fan is
insufficient.Insufficient condenser cooling
performance
¯
1. Condenser fins are clogged.
2. Improper fan rotation of
cooling fan
lClean condenser.
lCheck and repair cooling fan
if necessary.
lLow-pressure pipe is not
cold.
lWhen compressor is
stopped high-pressure
value quickly drops by
approximately 196 kPa (2
kg/cm
2, 28 psi). It then
decreases gradually there-
after.Poor heat exchange in con-
denser
(After compressor operation
stops, high-pressure
decreases too slowly.)
¯
Air in refrigeration cycleEvacuate repeatedly and
recharge system.
Engine tends to overheat.Engine cooling systems mal-
function.Check and repair engine cool-
ing system.
lAn area of the low-pres-
sure pipe is colder than
areas near the evaporator
outlet.
lPlates are sometimes cov-
ered with frost.
lExcessive liquid refrigerant
on low-pressure side
lExcessive refrigerant dis-
charge flow
lExpansion valve is open a
little compared with the
specification.
¯
Improper expansion valve
adjustmentReplace expansion valve.
AC359A
Gauge indication Refrigerant cycle Probable cause Corrective action
High-pressure side is too high and
low-pressure side is too low.
Upper side of condenser and
high-pressure side are hot,
however, liquid tank is not so
hot.High-pressure tube or parts
located between compressor
and condenser are clogged or
crushed.
lCheck and repair or replace
malfunctioning parts.
lCheck lubricant for contami-
nation.

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
