PRECAUTIONS
Revision: November 20092006 QX56
CAUTION:
The new and former refrigerant connections use different O-ring configurations. Do not confuse O-
rings since they are not interchangeable. If a wrong O-ring is installed, refrigerant will leak at or
around the connection.
O-Ring Part Numbers and Specifications
*: Always check with the Parts Department for the latest parts information.
WARNING:
Make sure all refrigerant is discharged into the recycling equipment and the pressure in the system is
less than atmospheric pressure. Then gradually loosen the discharge side hose fitting and remove it.
CAUTION:
When replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components, observe the following.
When the compressor is removed, store it in the same position as it is when mounted on the car.
Failure to do so will cause oil to enter the low pressure chamber.
When connecting tubes, always use a torque wrench and a back-up wrench.
After disconnecting tubes, immediately plug all openings to prevent entry of dirt and moisture.
When installing an air conditioner in the vehicle, connect the pipes as the final stage of the opera-
tion. Do not remove the seal caps of pipes and other components until just before required for
connection.
Allow components stored in cool areas to warm to working area temperature before removing seal
caps. This prevents condensation from forming inside A/C components.
Thoroughly remove moisture from the refrigeration system before charging the refrigerant.
Always replace used O-rings.
When connecting tube, apply oil to circle of the O-rings shown in illustration. Be careful not to
apply oil to threaded portion.
Oil name: NISSAN A/C System Oil Type S (DH-PS) or equivalent
Part number: KLH00-PAGS0
O-ring must be closely attached to dented portion of tube.
When replacing the O-ring, be careful not to damage O-ring and tube.
Connect tube until you hear it click, then tighten the nut or bolt by hand until snug. Make sure that
the O-ring is installed to tube correctly.
After connecting line, conduct leak test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections.
When the gas leaking point is found, disconnect that line and replace the O-ring. Then tighten con-
nections of seal seat to the specified torque.

Maintenance of Oil Quantity in CompressorEJS003X4
The oil in the compressor circulates through the system with the refrigerant. Add oil to compressor when
replacing any component or after a large refrigerant leakage has occurred. It is important to maintain the spec-
ified amount.
If oil quantity is not maintained properly, the following malfunctions may result:
Lack of oil: May lead to a seized compressor
Excessive oil: Inadequate cooling (thermal exchange interference)
OIL
Name: NISSAN A/C System Oil Type S (DH-PS) or equivalent
Part number: KLH00-PAGS0
CHECKING AND ADJUSTING
CAUTION:
If excessive oil leakage is noted, do not perform the oil return operation.
Start the engine and set the following conditions:
Test Condition
Engine speed: Idling to 1,200 rpm
A/C switch: On
Blower fan speed: MAX position
Temp. control: Optional [Set so that intake air temperature is 25° to 30 ° C (77 ° to 86 °F)]
Intake position: Recirculation ( )
Perform oil return operation for about ten minutes
Adjust the oil quantity according to the following table.
Oil Adjusting Procedure for Components Replacement Except Compressor
After replacing any of the following major components, add the correct amount of oil to the system.
Amount of oil to be added :
*1: If refrigerant leak is small, no addition of oil is needed.

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 cycleProbable causeCorrective 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 cycle
Reduce 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
Clean condenser.
Check and repair cooling fan
if necessary.
Low-pressure pipe is not
cold.
When 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 cycle
Evacuate and recharge sys-
tem.
Engine tends to overheat. Engine cooling systems mal-
function. Check and repair engine cool-
ing system.
An area of the low-pres-
sure pipe is colder than
areas near the evaporator
outlet.
Plates are sometimes cov-
ered with frost.
Excessive liquid refrigerant
on low-pressure side
Excessive refrigerant dis-
charge flow
Expansion valve is open a
little compared with the
specification.
↓
Improper expansion valve
adjustment Replace expansion valve.
