ATC-172
REFRIGERANT LINES
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
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. Stop engine.
2. Connect a suitable A/C manifold gauge set (SST: J-39183)to the A/C service valves.
3. Check if the A/C refrigerant pressure is at least 345 kPa (3.52 kg/cm
2 , 50 psi) above 16C (61F). If less
than specification, recover/evacuate and recharge the system with the specified amount of refrigerant.
NOTE:
At temperatures below 16
C (61F), leaks may not be detected since the system may not reach 345 kPa
(3.52 kg/cm
2 , 50 psi).
4. Perform the leak test from the high-pressure side (compressor discharge a to evaporator inlet h) to the
low-pressure side [evaporator drain hose i to shaft seal m(VQ35DE) or n(VK45DE)]. Refer to ATC-153,
"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.
Condenser
Check the fitting of high-pressure flexible hose and pipe.
Liquid tank
Check the fitting of 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 the engine.
8. Set the A/C control as follows;
a. A/C switch: ON
b. MODE door position: VENT (Ventilation)
c. Intake door position: Recirculation
d. Temperature setting: Max. cold
e. Fan speed: High
9. Run engine at 1,500 rpm for at least 2 minutes.
10. Stop the engine 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.
11. Before connecting recovery/recycling recharging equipment to
vehicle, check recovery/recycling recharging equipment gauges.

DIAGNOSIS SYSTEMPFP:00000
Multifunction Switch Self-Diagnosis FunctionNKS0048T
It can check each switch ON/OFF (continuity) operation of centralized switches.
SELF-DIAGNOSIS MODE
Turn the ignition switch from OFF position to ACC position.
Within 10 seconds, press and hold BACK switch and switch
for 3 seconds or more. Then, when these switches are released,
the buzzer sounds, all indicators of multifunction switch turned
on, and self-diagnosis mode is started.
When each switch is pressed, the switch continuity can be
checked by sounding the buzzer.
CAUTION:
The hazard switch cannot be checked.
FINISHING SELF-DIAGNOSIS MODE
When the ignition switch is turned ON, self-diagnosis mode is canceled.
Multi AV System Diagnosis FunctionsNKS0048U
There are 2 diagnosis functions (On board diagnosis and diagnosis using CONSULT-II). It is necessary to
use them properly according to the condition. If the on board diagnosis starts, perform diagnosis with on
board diagnosis. If the on board diagnosis does not start (because the display is not displayed, the multi-
function switch operation is not activated, etc.), perform diagnosis using CONSULT-II.
At on board diagnosis, the AV (NAVI) control unit diagnosis function starts when multifunction switch oper-
ation and the AV (NAVI) control unit performs the diagnosis for each unit of system. Then, it displays the
results on the display.
At diagnosis using CONSULT-II, the AV (NAVI) control unit diagnosis function starts when the CAN com-
munication and the AV (NAVI) control unit perform the diagnosis for each unit of system.
On Board DiagnosisNKS0048V
DESCRIPTION
It has Self-Diagnosis mode for conducting trouble diagnosis automatically and a Confirmation/Adjustment
mode for operating manually.
Self-diagnosis mode diagnoses AV (NAVI) control unit and communication of each unit composing sys-
tem, and displays self-diagnosis results. NAVI control unit diagnoses communication with GPS antenna
simultaneously.
Confirmation/Adjustment mode is used to monitor the vehicle signals requiring operation and judgement
by a technician (malfunctions that cannot be automatically judged by the system), the confirmation/
change/adjustment of setting value, the error history of system, and the communication condition of sys-
tem.

NAVIGATION
Steering Angle Adjustment
The steering angle output value detected with the gyroscope can be
adjusted.
Speed Calibration
Usually the automatic distance correction function adjusts the mal-
function in distance caused by the tires wearing down or the tire
pressure change. If prompt adjustment is necessary when the tire
chains are installed etc., perform this procedure.
ERROR HISTORY
The diagnostic results of “Self-diagnosis” determine if any malfunction occurred between selecting “Self-diag-
nosis” and displaying “Self-diagnostic Results”.
If an error occurred before the ignition switch was turned ON and does not occur again until “Self-diagnosis” is
completed, the trouble diagnosis result will be judged normal. Therefore, errors in the past which cannot be
found by “Self-diagnosis”, must be found by checking the “Error record”.
The error history shows the error occurrence frequency in past. The frequency of occurrence is displayed by 2
types: the count down type and the count up type. Select either type according to the error item.
In “Error History” of models with NAVI, time and place that the selected error last occurred are displayed. Be
careful about the following.
If there is a malfunction with the GPS antenna circuit board in the NAVI control unit, the correct date of
occurrence may not be able to be displayed.
Place of the error occurrence is represented by the position of the current location mark at the time an
error occurred. If current location mark has deviated from the correct position, then the place of the error
occurrence cannot be located correctly.

1. Draw lines on rearward area of the vehicle passing through the
following points: 20 cm (7.87 in) from both sides of the vehicle,
and 0.5 m (1.64 ft), 1.0 m (3.28 ft) from the rear end of the
bumper.
2. Set into “Adjust offset of rear view camera” mode of Confirma-
tion/Adjustment mode.
3. Rotate the center dial, and then select the guiding line pattern so
that its angle is aligned with the correction line of the rear of the
vehicle.
4. Make fine adjustment to the correction line of the rear of the vehicle with up/down/left/right switches so
that its position is aligned with the guiding line. Press “OK” switch and record the adjusted guiding line
position to the camera control unit.

BASIC OPERATION
NOTE:
Locations stored in the Address Book and other memory functions may be lost if the vehicle's battery is disconnected or becomes dis-
charged. If this occurs, service the vehicle's battery as necessary and re-enter the information in the Address Book.
VEHICLE ICON
Symptom Possible cause Possible solution
No image is displayed.The brightness is at the lowest setting. Adjust the brightness of the display.
The display is turns off.
Push and hold to turn on the display.
No voice guidance is available.
The volume is too high or too low.The volume is not set correctly, or it is turned off. Adjust the volume of voice guidance.
Volume guidance is not provided for narrow streets
(roads displayed in gray).This is not a malfunction.
No map is displayed on the screen.The map DVD-ROM is not inserted, or it is inserted
upside down.Insert the map DVD-ROM correctly.
A screen other than map screen is displayed. Push “MAP”.
The screen is too dim.
The movement is slow.The temperature in the interior of the vehicle is low.Wait until the interior of the vehicle has
warmed up.
Some pixels in the display are
darker or brighter than others.This condition is an inherent characteristic of liquid
crystal displays.This is not a malfunction.
Some menu items cannot be
selected.Some menu items become unavailable while the
vehicle is driven.Park the vehicle in a safe location, and
then operate the navigation system.
Symptom Possible cause Possible solution
Names of roads and locations dif-
fer between Plan view and Bird-
view™.This is because the quantity of the displayed infor-
mation is reduced so that the screen does not
become too crowded. There is also a chance that
names of the roads or locations may be displayed
multiple times, and the names appearing on the
screen may be different because of a processing
procedure.This is not a malfunction.
The vehicle icon is not displayed in
the correct position.The vehicle was transported after the ignition switch
was turned off, for example, by a ferry or car trans-
porter.Drive the vehicle for a while on a road
where GPS can be received.
The position and direction of the vehicle may be
incorrect depending on the driving environments and
the levels of positioning accuracy of the navigation
system.This is not a malfunction. Drive the vehi-
cle for a while to automatically correct the
position and direction of the vehicle icon.
When the vehicle is travelling on a
new road, the vehicle icon is
located on another road nearby.Because the new road is not stored in the map data,
the system automatically places the vehicle ion on
the nearest road available. Updated road information will be included
in the next version of the map DVD-ROM.
The screen does not switch to the
night screen even after turning on
the headlights. The daytime screen was set the last time the head-
lights were turned on.Set the screen to the night screen mode
using when turning on the headlights.
The map does not scroll even
when the vehicle is moving.The current location map screen is not displayed. Push “MAP”.
The vehicle icon is not displayed. The current location map screen is not displayed. Push “MAP”.
The GPS indicator on the screen
remains gray.GPS signals cannot be received depending on the
vehicle location, such as in a parking garage, on a
road that has numerous tall buildings, etc.Drive on an open, straight road for a
while.
GPS signals cannot be received because objects
are placed on the rear parcel shelf.Remove the objects from the rear parcel
shelf.
A sufficient amount of GPS satellites are not avail-
able.Wait for the satellites to move locations
available for navigation system.
