• The captions WARNING and CAUTION warn you of steps that must be followed to prevent personal injury
and/or damage to some part of the vehicle.
WARNING indicates the possibility of personal injury if instructions are not followed.
CAUTION indicates the possibility of component damage if instructions are not followed.
BOLD TYPED STATEMENTS except WARNING and CAUTION give you helpful information.
Standard value: Tolerance at inspection and adjustment.
Limit value: The maximum or minimum limit val ue that should not be exceeded at inspection and adjust-
ment.
UnitsINFOID:0000000005149569
• The UNITS given in this manual are primarily expressed as the SI UNIT (International System of Unit), and
alternatively expressed in the metric system and in the yard/pound system.
Also with regard to tightening torque of bolts and nuts, there are descriptions both about range and about the
standard tightening torque.

HOW TO FOLLOW TROUBLE DIAGNOSES
DescriptionINFOID:0000000005149573
NOTICE:
Trouble diagnoses indicate work procedures required to diagnose problems effectively. Observe the following
instructions before diagnosing.
• Before performing trouble diagnoses, read the “Work Flow” in each section.
• After repairs, re-check that the problem has been completely eliminated.
• Refer to Component Parts and Harness Connector Location for the Systems described in each section for
identification/location of components and harness connectors.
• When checking circuit continuity, ignition switch should be OFF.
• Refer to the Circuit Diagram for quick pinpoint check. If you need to check circuit continui ty between harness connectors in more detail, such as when a sub-har-
ness is used, refer to Wiring Diagram in each individual section and Harness Layout in PG section for identi-
fication of harness connectors.
• Before checking voltage at connectors, check battery voltage.
• After accomplishing the Diagnosis Procedures and Elec trical Components Inspection, make sure that all
harness connectors are reconnected as they were.

• Do not apply excessive shock to the control unit by dropping or hit- ting it.
• Be careful to prevent condensation in the control unit due to rapid
temperature changes and do not let water or rain get on it. If water
is found in the control unit, dry it fully and then install it in the vehi-
cle.
• Be careful not to let oil to get on the control unit connector.
• Avoid cleaning the control unit with volatile oil.
• Do not disassemble the control unit, and do not remove the upper and lower covers.
• When using a DMM, be careful not to let test probes get close to each other to prevent the power transistor in the control unit from
damaging battery voltage because of short circuiting.
• When checking input and output signals of the control unit, use the specified check adapter.
How to Check TerminalINFOID:0000000005149606
CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT
• Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed below when replacing connectors or terminals.
• The connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI connectors
and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin r eplacement procedures, refer to the latest NISSAN/
INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.

Removal
1. Remove the rear door finisher. Refer to INT-11, "Removal and Installation".
2. Position aside the vapor shield.
3. Temporarily reconnect the power window switch.
4. Operate the power window switch to raise/lower the door win- dow until the glass bolts can be seen.
5. Partially remove the inside seal.
6. Remove the glass run from the partition glass.
7. Remove the partition sash bolt (lower) and screw (upper) to remove the sash.
8. Remove the glass bolts and glass.
Installation
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
Fitting Inspection
• Check that the glass is securely fit into the glass run groove.
• Lower the glass slightly [approximately 10 to 20 mm (0.39 to 0.79 in)], and check that the clearance to the
sash is parallel. If the clearance between the glass and sash is not parallel, loosen the regulator bolts, guide
rail bolts, and glass and carrier plate bolts to correct the glass position.

High-pressure Side is Too Low and Low-pressure Side is Too High
Gauge indication Refrigerant cycleProbable causeCorrective action
Both high- and low-pressure sides
are too high. Pressure is reduced soon af-
ter water is splashed on con-
denser.
Excessive refrigerant charge in
refrigeration cycle
Reduce refrigerant until speci-
fied pressure is obtained.
Air suction by cooling fan is in-
sufficient. Insufficient condenser cooling

↓
1. Condenser fins are
clogged.
2. Improper fan rotation of
cooling fan • Clean condenser.
• Check and repair cooling fan
if necessary.
• Low-pressure pipe is not cold.
• When compressor is
stopped high-pressure val-
ue quickly drops by approx-
imately 196 kPa (2 kg/cm
2 ,
28 psi). It then decreases
gradually thereafter. Poor heat exchange in con-
denser
(After compressor operation
stops, high-pressure decreas-
es too slowly.)

Engine tends to overheat. Engine cooling systems mal-
function. Check and repair engine cool-
ing system.
• An area of the low-pressure pipe is colder than areas
near the evaporator outlet.
• Plates are sometimes cov- ered with frost. • Excessive liquid refrigerant
on low-pressure side
• Excessive refrigerant dis-
charge flow
• Expansion valve is open a lit- tle compared with the speci-
fication.
