Removal and Installation
INFOID:0000000003795857
REMOVAL
1. Use refrigerant collecting equipment (for HFC-134a) to discharge the refrigerant.
2. Remove mounting bolt (A), and then disconnect low-pressure
pipe (1) and high-pressure pipe (2) from expansion valve.
CAUTION:
Cap or wrap the joint of the A/C piping and expansion valve
with suitable material such as vinyl tape to avoid the entry
of air.
3. Remove mounting bolts (A), and then remove the expansion
valve (1).
CAUTION:
Cap or wrap the joint of the A/C piping and expansion valve
with suitable material such as vinyl tape to avoid the entry
of air.
INSTALLATION
Installation is basically the reverse order of removal.

BLOWER MOTOR
BLOWER MOTOR
DescriptionINFOID:0000000003846359
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Brush-less Motor
The blower motor utilizes a brush-less motor with a rotating magnet.
Quietness is improved over previous motors where the brush was
the point of contact and the coil rotated.
Blower Motor Circuit
Component Function CheckINFOID:0000000003846360
1.CHECK OPERATION
1. Warm up the engine.
2. Operate the fan control dial. Check that the fan speed and indicator are switched for all fan speeds.
Does it operate normally?
YES >> INSPECTION END
NO >> Perform trouble diagnosis for the blower motor. Refer to HAC-68, "
Diagnosis Procedure".
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000003846361
1.CHECK WITH SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION OF CONSULT-III
1. Using CONSULT-III, perform “SELF-DIAGNOSIS RESULTS” of HVAC.
2. Check if any DTC is displayed in the self-diagnosis results.
NOTE:
If DTC is displayed along with DTC U1000 or U1010, first diagnose the DTC U1000 or U1010. Refer to HAC-
42, "DTC Logic" or HAC-43, "DTC Logic".
Is any DTC displayed?
YES >> Perform the diagnosis that is applicable to the sensor and actuator. Refer to HAC-85, "DTC
Index".
NO >> GO TO 2.
2.CHECK WITH ACTIVE TEST OF CONSULT-III
1. Using CONSULT-III, perform “HVAC TEST” “ACTIVE TEST” of HVAC to check each output device. Refer
to HAC-38, "
CONSULT-III Function".
NOTE:
Perform the ACTIVE TEST after starting the engine because the compressor is operated.

When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.
Precautions For Xenon Headlamp ServiceINFOID:0000000003846398
WARNING:
Comply with the following warnings to prevent any serious accident.
Disconnect the battery cable (negative terminal) or the power supply fuse before installing, remov-
ing, or touching the xenon headlamp (bulb included). The xenon headlamp contains high-voltage
generated parts.
Never work with wet hands.
Check the xenon headlamp ON-OFF status after assembling it to the vehicle. Never turn the xenon
headlamp ON in other conditions. Connect the power supply to the vehicle-side connector.
(Turning it ON outside the lamp case may cause fire or visual impairments.)
Never touch the bulb glass immediately after turning it OFF. It is extremely hot.
CAUTION:
Comply with the following cautions to prevent any error and malfunction.
Install the xenon bulb securely. (Insufficient bulb socket installation may melt the bulb, the connec-
tor, the housing, etc. by high-voltage leakage or corona discharge.)
Never perform HID circuit inspection with a tester.
Never touch the xenon bulb glass with hands. Never put oil and grease on it.
Dispose of the used xenon bulb after packing it in thick vinyl without breaking it.
Never wipe out dirt and contamination with organic solvent (thinner, gasoline, etc.).
Working with HFC-134a (R-134a)INFOID:0000000003846399
CAUTION:
CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant are not compatible. Compressor mal-
function is likely to occur if the refrigerants are mixed, refer to “CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT”
below. To determine the purity of HFC-134a (R-134a) in the vehicle and recovery tank, use Refriger-
ant Recovery/Recycling Recharging equipment and Refrigerant Identifier.
Use only specified lubricant for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) compo-
nents. Compressor malfunction is likely to occur if lubricant other than that specified is used.
The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) lubricant rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The fol-
lowing handling precautions must be observed:
- Immediately cap (seal) the component to minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere when
removing refrigerant components from a vehicle.
- Never remove the caps (unseal) until just before connecting the components when installing refrig-
erant components to a vehicle. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as possible to
minimize the entry of moisture into system.
- Use only the specified lubricant from a sealed container. Immediately reseal containers of lubricant.
Lubricant becomes moisture saturated and should not be used without proper sealing.
- Never allow lubricant (NISSAN A/C System Oil Type S) to come in to contact with styrene foam parts.
Damage may result.
CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT
Take the appropriate steps shown below if a refrigerant other than pure HFC-134a (R-134a) is identified
in a vehicle:
Explain to the customer that environmental regulations prohibit the release of contaminated refrigerant into
the atmosphere.

WARNING:
Check that 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:
Observe the following when replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components.
Store it in the same way at it is when mounted on the car when the compressor is removed. Failure
to do so will cause lubricant to enter the low-pressure chamber.
Always use a torque wrench and a back-up wrench when connecting tubes.
Immediately plug all openings to prevent entry of dust and moisture after disconnecting tubes.
Connect the pipes at the final stage of the operation when installing an air conditioner in the vehicle.
Never 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.
Replace always used O-rings.
Apply lubricant to circle of the O-rings shown in illustration when connecting tube. Be careful not to
apply lubricant to threaded portion.
O-ring must be closely attached to the groove portion of tube.
Be careful not to damage O-ring and tube when replacing the O-ring.
Connect tube until a click can be heard. Then tighten the nut or bolt by hand. Check that the O-ring is
installed to tube correctly.
Perform leakage test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections after connecting line.
Disconnect the line and replace the O-ring when the refrigerant leaking point is found. Then tighten
the connections of seal seat to the specified torque.

Oil pans (lower and upper)
Oil pan drain plug
Oil pressure switch
Oil filter
Water pump cover
Oil cooler
Valve timing control covers (bank 1 and bank 2)
Mating surface between cylinder head and rocker cover
Mating surface between front timing chain case and rear timing chain case
Mating surface between rear timing chain case and cylinder head
Mating surface between rear timing chain case and cylinder block
Mating surface between rear timing chain case and oil pan (upper)
Mating surface between cylinder block and cylinder head
Crankshaft oil seals (front and rear)
Camshaft position sensor (PHASE)
