< PRECAUTION >
PRECAUTIONS
• The air conditioner warranty is void if the vehicle is within the warranty period. Please contact Nissan Cus-tomer Affairs for further assistance.
COMPRESSOR
CAUTION:
• Cap or plug all openings to prevent moisture and fo reign matter from entering.
• Store it in the same way as it is when moun ted on the car when the compressor is removed.
• Follow “Maintenance of Oil Level” exactly when replacing or repairing compressor. Refer to HA-22,
"Description".
• Keep friction surfaces between clut ch and pulley clean. Wipe it off by using a clean waste cloth
moistened with thinner if the su rface is contaminated with oil.
• Turn the compressor shaft by hand more than five turns in both directions after compressor service
operation. This distributes oil e qually inside the compressor. Let the engine idle and operate the
compressor for one hour after the compressor is installed.
• Apply voltage to the new one and check for norma l operation after replacing the compressor magnet
clutch.
LEAK DETECTION DYE
CAUTION:
• The A/C system contains a fluorescent leak detect ion dye used for locating refrigerant leaks. An
ultraviolet (UV) lamp is required to il luminate the dye when inspecting for leaks.
• Always wear fluorescence enhancing UV safety goggles to protect eyes and enhance the visibility of the fluorescent dye.
• The fluorescent dye leak detector is not a replacement for an electrical l eak detector (SST: J-41995).
The fluorescent dye leak detector sh ould be used in conjunction with an electrical leak detector
(SST: J-41995) to pin-point refrigerant leaks.
• Read and follow all manufacture’s operating inst ructions and precautions prior to performing the
work for the purpose of safet y and customer’s satisfaction.
• A compressor shaft seal should not necessarily be repaired becau se of dye seepage. The compres-
sor shaft seal should only be repaired after confi rming 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 misdiag-
nosis during a future service.
• Do not allow dye to come into contact with painted body panels or interior components. Clean imme- diately with the approved dye cl eaner if dye is spilled. Fluorescent dye left on a surface for an
extended period of time cannot be removed.
• Do not spray the fluorescent dye cleaning agent on hot surfaces (engine exhaust manifold, etc.).
• Do not 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. Do not 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 remains fo r three or more years unless a compressor malfunc-
tion occurs.
NOTE: Identification
• Vehicles with factory installed fluorescent dye have a green label.
• Vehicles without factory installed fluorescent dye have a blue label.

CAUTION:
Be careful of the following items so that in accurate checks or misidentifications are avoided.
• Do not allow refrigerant vapor, shop chemical vapors, cigarette smoke or other contaminates around the vehicle.
• Always check refrigerant leaks in a low air flow en vironment so that refrigerant may not disperse.
1. Stop the engine.
2. Connect recovery/recycling/recharging equipment or manifold gauge set to the A/C service valves.
3. Check that A/C refrigerant pressure is 345 kPa (3.52 kg/cm
2, 50 psi) or more when temperature is 16 °C
(61 °F) or more. When pressure is lower than the specified value, recycle refrigerant completely and
recharge refrigerant to the specified level.
NOTE:
Leaks may not be detected if A/C refriger ant pressure is 345 kPa (3.52 kg/cm
2, 50 psi) or less when tem-
perature is less than 16° C (61°F).
4. Clean the area where the refrigerant leak check is performed and check for refrigerant leaks along all sur- faces of pipe connections and A/C system co mponents using electronic leak detector probe.
CAUTION:
• Continue checking once leaks are found. Always co ntinue and complete checking along all pipe
connections and A/C system comp onents for additional leaks.
• When leaks are detected, clean leak ar ea using compressed air and re-check.
• When checking the evaporator for leaks, always clean inside of drain hose so that the probe sur-
face may not be exposed to water or dirt.
NOTE:
• Always check for leaks starting from the high-pressure side and continue to the low-pressure side.
• When checking the evaporator for leaks, operate blower motor for 15 minut\
es or more at the maximum speed while the engine is stopped. Insert electronic leak detector probe into drain hose and hold for 10
minutes or more.
