CHECKING SYSTEM FOR LEAKAGES USING THE FLUORESCENT LEAK DETECTOR
1. Check A/C system for leakages using the UV lamp and safety goggles (SST: J-42220) in a low sunlight
area (area without windows preferable). Illuminate all components, fittings and lines. The dye appears as
a bright green/yellow area at the point of leakage. Fluorescent dye observed at the evaporator drain open-
ing indicates an evaporator core assembly (tubes, core or expansion valve) leakage.
2. Use an adjustable mirror or wipe the area with a clean shop rag or cloth, with the UV lamp for dye residue
if the suspected area is difficult to see.
3. Remove any residual dye using dye cleaner (SST: J-43872) to prevent future misdiagnosis after the leak-
age is repaired.
4. Perform a system performance check and verify the leakage repair with an approved electrical leak detec-
tor.
NOTE:
Other gases in the work area or substances on the A/C components, for example, anti-freeze, windshield
washer fluid, solvents and lubricants, may falsely trigger the leak detector. Make sure the surfaces to be
checked are clean.
Clean with a dry cloth or blow off with shop air.
Do not allow the sensor tip of the detector to contact with any substance. This may also cause false readings
and may damage the detector.
DYE INJECTION
(This procedure is only necessary when recharging the system or when the compressor has seized and was
replaced.)
1. Check A/C system static (at rest) pressure. Pressure must be at least 345 kPa (3.45 bar, 3.52 kg/cm
2, 50
psi).
2. Pour one bottle (1/4 ounce / 7.4 cc) of the A/C refrigerant dye into the injector tool (SST: J-41459).
3. Connect the injector tool to the A/C low-pressure side service valve.
4. Start the engine. Then switch A/C ON.
5. Inject one bottle (1/4 ounce / 7.4 cc) of fluorescent dye through the low-pressure service valve using dye
injector tool (SST: J-41459) (refer to the manufacture’s operating instructions) when the A/C operating
(compressor running).
6. Disconnect the injector tool from the service valve with the engine still running.
CAUTION:
Be careful when replacing the A/C system or a component, pour the dye directly into the open sys-
tem connection and proceed with the service procedures.
7. Operate the A/C system for a minimum of 20 minutes to mix the dye with the system oil. Depending on the
leakage size, operating conditions and location of the leakage, it may take from minutes to days for the
dye to penetrate a leakage and become visible.
8. Attach a blue label if necessary.

9. Disconnect the connector (A) and remove the harness clip (B)
from compressor.
10. Remove mounting bolts (A), and then move oil cooler to a position where it dose not inhibit work.
11. Remove mounting bolts (B), and then remove compressor (1) from the lower side of the vehicle.
INSTALLATION
Installation is basically the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
 Replace O-rings with new ones. Then apply compressor oil to them when installing.
 Check for leakages when recharging refrigerant.
 Check tension of the drive belt after installing compressor. Refer to EM-12, "
Checking".
InspectionINFOID:0000000003839904
CHECK DISC TO PULLEY CLEARANCE
1. Check the clearance (B) between pulley assembly (1) and clutch
disc (2) along the entire periphery with a feeler gauge (A).
Replace compressor if specified clearance is not obtained.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL
NOTE:
Before starting engine, put vehicle horizontally and check the engine oil level. If engine is already started, stop
it and allow 10 minutes before checking.
1. Pull out oil level gauge and wipe it clean.
2. Insert oil level gauge and check the engine oil level is within the
range shown in the figure.
3. If it is out of range, adjust it.
ENGINE OIL APPEARANCE
 Check engine oil for white turbidity or heavy contamination.
 If engine oil becomes turbid and white, it is highly probable that it is contaminated with engine coolant.
Repair or replace damaged parts.
ENGINE OIL LEAKAGE
Check for engine oil leakage around the following areas:
 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)
OIL PRESSURE CHECK
WARNING:
• Be careful not to get burn yourself, as engine oil may be hot.
 Oil pressure check should be done in “Parking position”.
1. Check the engine oil level. Refer to LU-7, "
Inspection".
2. Remove splash guard (RH). Refer to EXT-22, "
FENDER PROTECTOR : Exploded View".

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Periodic MaintenanceINFOID:0000000003858222
The following tables show the normal maintenance schedule. Depending upon weather and atmospheric con-
ditions, varying road surfaces, individual driving habits and vehicle usage, additional or more frequent mainte-
nance may be required.
Periodic maintenance beyond the last period shown on the tables requires similar maintenance.
ENGINE AND EMISSION CONTROL MAINTENANCE
(Annual Mileage < 30,000 km/year)
Abbreviations: I = Inspect and correct or replace as necessary, R = Replace,[ ] = At the specified mileage only.
NOTE:
Maintenance items with “ ” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving Condi-
tions”.
(1) Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increases, check valve clearance.
(2) Replace the drive belt if found damaged or if the auto belt tensioner reading reaches the maximum limit.
(3) Use Genuine NISSAN Engine Coolant or equivalent in its quality, in order to avoid possible aluminum corrosion within
the engine cooling system caused by the use of non-genuine engine coolant.
First replace at 90,000 Km (54,000 miles)/60 months, then every 60,000 km (36,000 miles)/48 months. Perform "I" (Checking
the mixture ratio and correcting the mixture ratio if necessary) at the middle of replacement interval.
(4) Fuel filter is maintenance-free. For service procedures, refer to FL section. MAINTENANCE OPERATIONMAINTENANCE INTERVAL
