IN-VEHICLE SENSOR
Component DescriptionINFOID:0000000003775377
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
In-vehicle Sensor
The in-vehicle sensor (1) is located on the lower instrument panel
LH. It converts variations in
temperature of passenger compartment
air (drawn in through the integrated fan) into a resistance value. It is
then input into the A/C auto amp.
In-Vehicle Sensor Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000003775378
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR IN-VEHICLE SENSOR
SYMPTOM: In-vehicle sensor circuit is open or shorted. Using the
CONSULT-III, DTC B2578 or B2579 is displayed. Without a CON-
SULT-III, code 30, 31, 44 or 46 is indicated on A/C auto amp. as a
result of conducting self-diagnosis.
1.CHECK IN-VEHICLE SENSOR CIRCUIT
Is self-diagnosis DTC B2578 or B2579 (with CONSULT-III) or code 30, 31 44 or 46 (without CONSULT-III)
present?
YES or NO?
YES >> GO TO 6.
NO >> GO TO 2.
2.CHECK VOLTAGE BETWEEN IN-V EHICLE SENSOR AND GROUND

OPTICAL SENSOR
Component DescriptionINFOID:0000000003775380
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
The optical sensor (1) is located in the center of the defroster grille. It
detects sunload entering through windshield by means of a photo
diode. The sensor converts the sunload into a current value which is
then input into the A/C auto amp.
OPTICAL INPUT PROCESS
The A/C auto amp. includes a processing circuit which averages the variations in detected sunload over a
period of time. This prevents adjustments in the ATC system operation due to small or quick variations in
detected sunload.
For example, consider driving along a road bordered by an occasional group of large trees. The sunload
detected by the optical sensor will vary whenever the tr ees obstruct the sunlight. The processing circuit aver-
ages the detected sunload over a period of time, so that the (insignificant) effect of the trees momentarily
obstructing the sunlight does not cause any change in t he ATC system operation. On the other hand, shortly
after entering a long tunnel, the system will recognize the change in sunload, and the system will react accord-
ingly.
Optical Sensor Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000003775381
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR OPTICAL SENSOR
SYMPTOM: Optical sensor circuit is open or shorted. Using the
CONSULT-III, DTC B257F or B2580 is displayed. Without a CON-
SULT-III, code 50 or 52 is indicated on A/C auto amp. as a result of
conducting self-diagnosis.
1.CHECK CIRCUIT CONTINUITY BETWEEN OP TICAL SENSOR AND A/C AUTO AMP.
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect A/C auto amp. connector and optical sensor connec- tor.
3. Check continuity between optical sensor harness connector M302 (B) terminals 1 and 2 and A/C auto amp. harness connec-
tor M50 (C) terminal 42 and M49 (A) terminal 1.
4. Check continuity between optical sensor harness connector M302 (B) terminal 1 and 2 and ground.

POWER SUPPLY AND GROUND CIRCUIT FOR CONTROLLER
Component DescriptionINFOID:0000000003775385
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
A/C auto amp.
The A/C auto amp. has a built-in microcomputer which processes
information sent from various sensors needed for air conditioner
operation. The air mix door motors, mode door motor, intake door
motor, defroster door motor, blower motor and compressor are then
controlled.
The A/C auto amp. is unitized with control mechanisms. When the
various switches and temperature dials are operated, data is input to
the A/C auto amp.
Self-diagnostic functions are also bu ilt into the A/C auto amp. to pro-
vide quick check of malfunctions in the auto air conditioner system.
Potentio Temperature Control (PTC)
There are two PTCs (driver and passenger) built into the A/C auto
amp. They can be set at an interval of 0.5 °C (1.0 °F) in the 18° C
(60 °F) to 32 °C (90° F) temperature range by rotating the temperature
dial. The set temperature is displayed.

HAC-124
< PRECAUTION >[AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONER]
PRECAUTIONS
If a refrigerant other than pure HFC-134a (R-134a)
is identified in a vehicle, your options are:
• Explain to the customer that environmental regulations prohibit the release of contaminated refrigerant into
the atmosphere.
• Explain that recovery of the contaminated refri gerant could damage your service equipment and refrigerant
supply.
• Suggest the customer return the vehicle to the location of previous service where the contamination may
have occurred.
• If you choose to perform the repair, recover the refrigerant using only dedicated equipment and contain- ers. Do not recover contamin ated refrigerant into your existing service equipment. If your facility does
not have dedicated recovery equipment, you may contact a local refrigerant product retailer for available ser-
vice. This refrigerant must be disposed of in acco rdance with all federal and local regulations. In addition,
replacement of all refrigerant system components on the vehicle is recommended.
• If the vehicle is within the warranty period, the air conditioner warranty is void. Please contact NISSAN Cus-
tomer Affairs for further assistance.
Precaution for Service EquipmentINFOID:0000000003775401
MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
Be certain that the gauge face indicates R-134a or 134a. Make sure
the gauge set has 1/2 ″-16 ACME threaded connections for service
hoses. Confirm the set has been used only with refrigerant HFC-
134a (R-134a) along with specified oil.
SERVICE HOSES
Be certain that the service hoses display the markings described
(colored hose with black stripe). All hoses must include positive shut-
off devices (either manual or aut omatic) near the end of the hoses
opposite the manifold gauge.
SERVICE COUPLERS
Never attempt to connect HFC-134a (R-134a) service couplers to a
CFC-12 (R-12) A/C system. The HFC-134a (R-134a) couplers will
not properly connect to the CFC-12 (R-12) system. However, if an
improper connection is attempted, discharging and contamination
may occur.
