PRECAUTIONS
Revision: 2006 November2007 350Z
Precautions for Servicing CompressorNJS00007

Plug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering.

When the compressor is removed, store it in the same way at it is when mounted on the car.

When replacing or repairing compressor, follow “Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compres-
sor” exactly. Refer to AT C - 2 1 , "
Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compressor" .

Keep friction surfaces between clutch and pulley clean. If the surface is contaminated with lubri-
cant, wipe it off by using a clean waste cloth moistened with thinner.

After compressor service operation, turn the compressor shaft by hand more than five turns in
both directions. This will equally distribute lubricant inside the compressor. After the compressor
is installed, let the engine idle and operate the compressor for one hour.

After replacing the compressor magnet clutch, apply voltage to the new one and check for normal
operation.
Precautions for Service EquipmentNJS00008
RECOVERY/RECYCLING EQUIPMENT
Be certain to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for machine operation and machine maintenance. Never
introduce any refrigerant other than that specified into the machine.
ELECTRICAL LEAK DETECTOR
Be certain to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for tester operation and tester maintenance.
VACUUM PUMP
The lubricant contained inside the vacuum pump is not compatible
with the specified lubricant for HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C systems.
The vent side of the vacuum pump is exposed to atmospheric pres-
sure. So the vacuum pump lubricant may migrate out of the pump
into the service hose. This is possible when the pump is switched off
after evacuation (vacuuming) and hose is connected to it.
To prevent this migration, use a manual valve placed near the hose-
to-pump connection, as follows.

Usually vacuum pumps have a manual isolator valve as part of
the pump. Close this valve to isolate the service hose from the
pump.

For pumps without an isolator, use a hose equipped with a man-
ual shut-off valve near the pump end. Close the valve to isolate
the hose from the pump.

If the hose has an automatic shut-off valve, disconnect the hose
from the pump. As long as the hose is connected, the valve is
open and lubricating oil may migrate.
Some one-way valves open when vacuum is applied and close
under no vacuum condition. Such valves may restrict the pump’s
ability to pull a deep vacuum and are not recommended.
MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
Be certain that the gauge face indicates HFC-134a or R-134a. Be
sure the gauge set has 1/2″-16 ACME threaded connections for ser-
vice hoses. Confirm the set has been used only with refrigerant
HFC-134a (R-134a) and specified lubricants.

PRECAUTIONS
Revision: 2006 November2007 350Z
Precautions for Leak Detection DyeNJS00009

The A/C system contains a fluorescent leak detection dye used for locating refrigerant leaks. An ultraviolet
(UV) lamp is required to illuminate the dye when inspecting for leaks.

Always wear fluorescence enhancing UV safety goggles to protect your eyes and enhance the visibility of
the fluorescent dye.

The fluorescent dye leak detector is not a replacement for an electrical leak detector (SST: J-41995). The
fluorescent dye leak detector should be used in conjunction with an electrical leak detector (SST: J-41995)
to pin-point refrigerant leaks.

For the purpose of safety and customer’s satisfaction, read and follow all manufacture’s operating instruc-
tions and precautions prior to performing the work.

A compressor shaft seal should not necessarily be repaired because of dye seepage. The compressor
shaft seal should only be repaired after confirming the leak with an electrical leak detector (SST: J-41995).

Always remove any remaining dye from the leak area after repairs are completed to avoid a misdiagnosis
during a future service.

Never allow dye to come into contact with painted body panels or interior components. If dye is spilled,
clean immediately with the approved dye cleaner. Fluorescent dye left on a surface for an extended period
of time cannot be removed.

Never spray the fluorescent dye cleaning agent on hot surfaces (engine exhaust manifold, etc.).

Never use more than one refrigerant dye bottle (1/4 ounce /7.4 cc) per A/C system.

Leak detection dyes for HFC-134a (R-134a) and CFC-12 (R-12) A/C systems are different. Never use
HFC-134a (R-134a) leak detection dye in CFC-12 (R-12) A/C system or CFC-12 (R-12) leak detection
dye in HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system, or A/C system damage may result.

The fluorescent properties of the dye will remain for three years or a little over unless a compressor mal-
function occurs.
IDENTIFICATION
NOTE:
Vehicles with factory installed fluorescent dye have a green label.
Vehicles without factory installed fluorescent dye have a blue label.
IDENTIFICATION LABEL FOR VEHICLE
Vehicles with factory installed fluorescent dye have the identification label on the front side of hood.

Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in CompressorNJS0000I
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 occurred. It is important to maintain the
specified amount.
If lubricant quantity is not maintained properly, the following malfunctions may result:

Lack of lubricant: May lead to a seized compressor.

Excessive lubricant: Inadequate cooling (thermal exchange interference)
LUBRICANT
LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION
Adjust the lubricant quantity according to the test group shown below.
1. CHECK LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION
Can lubricant return operation be performed?

A/C system works properly.

There is no evidence of a large amount of lubricant leakage.
CAUTION:
If excessive lubricant leakage is noted, never perform the lubricant return operation.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> GO TO 3.
2. PERFORM LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION, PROCEEDING AS FOLLOWS
1. Start the engine, and set to the following conditions:
–Engine speed: Idling to 1,200 rpm
–A/C switch: ON
–Blower speed: Max. position
–Temp. control: Optional [Set so that intake air temperature is 25 to 30°C (77 to 86°F).]
–Intake position: Recirculation (REC)
2. Perform lubricant return operation for about 10 minutes.
3. Stop the engine.
>> GO TO 3.
3. CHECK REPLACEMENT PART
Should the compressor be replaced?
YES >> GO TO AT C - 2 3 , "LUBRICANT ADJUSTING PROCEDURE FOR COMPRESSOR REPLACE-
MENT" .
NO >> GO TO AT C - 2 2 , "

AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL
Revision: 2006 November2007 350Z
Stop Signal:
At the end of each transmission, a stop operation, in-operation, or internal malfunction message is delivered to
the unified meter and A/C amp. This completes one data transmission and control cycle.
AIR MIX DOOR CONTROL (AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL)
The air mix door is automatically controlled so that in-vehicle temperature is maintained at a predetermined
value by the temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle temperature and amount of sunload.
FAN SPEED CONTROL
Blower speed is automatically controlled by the temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle tempera-
ture, intake temperature, amount of sunload and air mix door position.
With FAN control dial set to AUTO, the blower motor starts to gradually increase air flow volume.
When engine coolant temperature is low, the blower motor operation is delayed to prevent cool air from flow-
ing.
INTAKE DOOR CONTROL
The intake doors are automatically controlled by the temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle tem-
perature, intake temperature, amount of sunload and ON/OFF operation of the compressor.
MODE DOOR CONTROL
The mode door is automatically controlled by the temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle temper-
ature, intake temperature and amount of sunload.
