2007 INFINITI FX35 evaporator

ATC-112
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Revision: 2006 July 2007 FX35/FX45
Intake Sensor CircuitNJS000EI
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Intake Sensor
The intake sensor is located on the heater & cooling unit assembly. It
converts temperature of air after it passes through the evaporator
into a resistance value which is then input to the unified meter and A/
C amp.
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE FOR INTAKE SENSOR
SYMPTOM: Intake sensor circuit is open or shorted. (24 or −24 is
indicated on unified meter and A/C amp. as a result of performing
self-diagnosis STEP-2.)
1. CHECK VOLTAGE BETWEEN INTAKE SENSOR AND GROUND
1. Disconnect intake sensor connector.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Check voltage between intake sensor harness connector M254 terminal 2 and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> GO TO 4.
2. CHECK CIRCUIT CONTINUITY BETWEEN INTAKE SENSOR AND UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP.
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect unified meter and A/C amp. connector.
3. Check continuity between intake sensor harness connector M254 terminal 1 and unified meter and A/C amp. harness con-
nector M57 terminal 49.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> Repair harness or connector.

Removal and InstallationNJS000EO
REMOVAL
1. Remove low-pressure pipe 2 and high-pressure pipe 3. Refer to ATC-150, "Removal and Installation of
Low-pressure Pipe 2 and High-pressure Pipe 3" .
CAUTION:
Cap or wrap the joint of evaporator, low-pressure pipe 1 and high-pressure pipe 2 with suitable
material such as vinyl tape to avoid the entry of air.
2. Slide evaporator to passenger side, and then remove intake sensor.
INSTALLATION
Installation is basically the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:

Replace O-rings of low-pressure pipe 1, 2 and high-pressure pipe 2, 3 with new ones, and then
apply compressor oil to it when installing it.

Mark the mounting position of intake sensor bracket prior to removal so that the reinstalled sen-
sor can be located in the same position.

Female-side piping connection is thin and easy to deform. Slowly insert the male-side piping
straight in axial direction.

Insert piping securely until a click is heard.

After piping connection is completed, pull male-side piping by hand to make sure that connection
does not come loose.

When recharging refrigerant, check for leaks.
