SERVICE INFORMATIONPRECAUTIONS

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000006135549

The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used alongwith a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certaintypes of collision. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the “SUPPLEMENTALRESTRAINT SYSTEM” and “SEAT BELTS” of this Service Manual.WARNING:• To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in

the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed byan authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.

• Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personalinjury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air BagModule, see the “SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM”.

• Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in thisService Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-ness connectors.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERSWARNING:• When working near the Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Air Bag System sensors with the

ignition ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electric power tools or strike near the sensor(s)with a hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor(s) and deploy the air bag(s), possiblycausing serious injury.

• When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always switch the ignition OFF, disconnect thebattery, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service.

Precaution for Working with HFC-134a (R-134a) INFOID:0000000006108158

WARNING:• CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant are not compatible. These refrigerants

must never be mixed, even in the smallest amounts. If the refrigerants are mixed and compressormalfunction is likely occur.

• Use only specified lubricant for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) compo-nents. If lubricant other than that specified is used, compressor malfunction is likely to occur.

• The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) lubricant rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The fol-lowing handling precautions must be observed:

- When removing refrigerant components from a vehicle, immediately cap (seal) the component tominimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere.

- When installing refrigerant components to a vehicle, never remove the caps (unseal) until just beforeconnecting the components. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as possible to min-imize the entry of moisture into system.

- Only use the specified lubricant from a sealed container. Immediately reseal containers of lubricant.Without proper sealing, lubricant will become moisture saturated and should not be used.

- Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose andthroat. Use only approved recovery/recycling equipment to discharge HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant.If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service. Additionalhealth and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.

- Never allow lubricant (Nissan A/C System Oil Type S) to come in contact with styrofoam parts. Dam-age may result.

Contaminated Refrigerant INFOID:0000000006108159

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.

MTC-3

PRECAUTIONS

< SERVICE INFORMATION >• Explain that recovery of the contaminated refrigerant 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. Never recover contaminated refrigerant into your existing service equipment. If your facility doesnot have dedicated recovery equipment, you may contact a local refrigerant product retailer for available ser-vice. This refrigerant must be disposed of in accordance 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.

General Refrigerant Precaution INFOID:0000000006108160

WARNING:• Never release refrigerant into the air. Use approved recovery/recycling equipment to capture the

refrigerant every time an air conditioning system is discharged.• Always wear eye and hand protection (goggles and gloves) when working with any refrigerant or air

conditioning system.• Never store or heat refrigerant containers above 52°C.• Never heat a refrigerant container with an open flame; if container warming is required, place the

bottom of the container in a warm pail of water.• Never intentionally drop, puncture, or incinerate refrigerant containers.• Keep refrigerant away from open flames: poisonous gas will be produced if refrigerant burns.• Refrigerant will displace oxygen, therefore be certain to work in well ventilated areas to prevent suf-

focation.• Never pressure test or leak test HFC-134a (R-134a) service equipment and/or vehicle air conditioning

systems with compressed air during repair. Some mixtures of air and HFC-134a (R-134a) have beenshown to be combustible at elevated pressures. These mixtures, if ignited, may cause injury or prop-erty damage. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant manufactur-ers.

Precaution for Refrigerant Connection INFOID:0000000006108161

A new type refrigerant connection has been introduced to all refrigerant lines except the following locations.• Expansion valve to cooling unit• Evaporator pipes to evaporator (inside cooling unit)• Refrigerant pressure sensor

ABOUT ONE-TOUCH JOINT

Description• One-touch joints are pipe joints which never require tools during piping connection.• Unlike conventional connection methods using union nuts and flanges, controlling tightening torque at con-

nection point is not necessary.• When removing a pipe joint, use a disconnector.

COMPONENT PARTS

FUNCTIONS OF COMPONENT PARTS

NOTE:• Garter spring cannot be removed from cage of male-side piping.• Indicator ring remains near piping connection point, however, this is not a malfunction. (This is to check pip-

ing connection during factory assembly.)REMOVAL

1. Clean piping connection point, and set a disconnector.2. Slide disconnector in axial direction of piping, and stretch garter spring with tapered point of disconnector.3. Slide disconnector farther so that inside diameter of garter spring becomes larger than outside diameter of

female-side piping flare. Then male-side piping can be disconnected.

RJIA0970E

Pipe (Male side)• Retains O-rings.• Retains garter spring in cage.

Garter spring Anchors female side piping.

Indicator ringWhen connection is made properly, this is ejected from male-side piping. (This part is no longer neces-sary after connection.)

O-ring Seals connection point. (Not reusable)

Pipe (Female side)• Seals connection by compressing O-rings.• Anchors piping connection using flare and garter spring.

SJIA0106E

MTC-5

PRECAUTIONS

< SERVICE INFORMATION >INSTALLATION

1. Clean piping connection points, and insert male-side piping into female-side piping.2. Push inserted male-side piping harder so that female-side piping flare stretches garter spring.3. If inside diameter of garter spring becomes larger than outside diameter of female-side piping flare, garter

spring seats on flare. Then, it fits in between male-side piping cage and female-side piping flare to anchorpiping connection point.NOTICE:When garter spring seats on flare, and fits in between male-side piping cage and female-side piping flare,it clicks.CAUTION:• Female-side piping connection point is thin. So, when inserting male-side piping, take care not

to deform female-side piping. Slowly insert it in axial direction.• Insert piping securely until a click is heard.• After piping connection is completed, pull male-side piping by hand to make sure connection

does not come loose.NOTE:

One-touch joint connection is used in points below.• Low-pressure flexible hose to evaporator (O-ring size: 16)• High-pressure flexible hose to condenser (O-ring size: 12)• High-pressure pipe 1 to high-pressure pipe 2 (O-ring size: 8)• High-pressure pipe 1 to condenser (O-ring size: 8)

FEATURES OF NEW TYPE REFRIGERANT CONNECTION• The O-ring has been relocated. It has also been provided with a groove for proper installation. This elimi-

nates the chance of the O-ring being caught in, or damaged by, the mating part. The sealing direction of theO-ring is now set vertically in relation to the contacting surface of the mating part to improve sealing charac-teristics.

PRECAUTIONS

< SERVICE INFORMATION >

*: Always check with the Parts Department for the latest parts information.

WARNING:Make sure all refrigerant is discharged into the recycling equipment and the pressure in the system isless than atmospheric pressure. Then gradually loosen the discharge side hose fitting and remove it.CAUTION:When replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components, observe the following.• When the compressor is removed, store it in the same position as it is when mounted on the car.

Failure to do so will cause lubricant to enter the low pressure chamber.• When connecting tubes, always use a torque wrench and a back-up wrench.• After disconnecting tubes, immediately plug all openings to prevent entry of dirt and moisture.• When installing an air conditioner in the vehicle, connect the pipes as the final stage of the opera-

tion. Never remove the seal caps of pipes and other components until just before required for con-nection.

• Allow components stored in cool areas to warm to working area temperature before removing sealcaps. This prevents condensation from forming inside A/C components.

• Thoroughly remove moisture from the refrigeration system before charging the refrigerant.• Always replace used O-rings.• When connecting tube, apply lubricant to circle of the O-rings shown in illustration. Be careful not to

apply lubricant to threaded portion.Lubricant name: NISSAN A/C System Lubricant Type S (DH-PS) or equivalentPart number: KLH00-PAGS0

• O-ring must be closely attached to dented portion of tube.• When replacing the O-ring, be careful not to damage O-ring and tube.• Connect tube until you hear it click, then tighten the nut or bolt by hand until snug. Make sure that

the O-ring is installed to tube correctly.

• After connecting line, conduct leak test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections.When the gas leaking point is found, disconnect that line and replace the O-ring. Then tighten con-nections of seal seat to the specified torque.

Precaution for Service of Compressor INFOID:0000000006108162

• Plug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering.• When the compressor is removed, store it in the same position as it is when mounted on the car.• When replacing or repairing compressor, follow “Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compressor”

exactly. Refer to MTC-22, "Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compressor".• Keep friction surfaces between clutch and pulley clean. If the surface is contaminated, with lubri-

cant, wipe it off by using a clean waste cloth moistened with thinner.• After compressor service operation, turn the compressor shaft by hand more than five turns in both

directions. This will equally distribute lubricant inside the compressor. After the compressor isinstalled, let the engine idle and operate the compressor for one hour.

• After replacing the compressor magnet clutch, apply voltage to the new one and check for usualoperation.

Precaution for Service Equipment INFOID:0000000006108163

RECOVERY/RECYCLING EQUIPMENTBe certain to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for machine operation and machine maintenance. Neverintroduce any refrigerant other than that specified into the machine.

ELECTRONIC LEAK DETECTORBe certain to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for tester operation and tester maintenance.

VACUUM PUMP

RHA861F

MTC-11

PRECAUTIONS

< SERVICE INFORMATION >The lubricant contained inside the vacuum pump is not compatiblewith the specified lubricant for HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C systems.The vent side of the vacuum pump is exposed to atmospheric pres-sure. So the vacuum pump lubricant may migrate out of the pumpinto the service hose. This is possible when the pump is switched offafter evacuation (vacuuming) and hose is connected to it.To prevent this migration, use a manual valve placed near the hose-to-pump connection, as follows.• Usually vacuum pumps have a manual isolator valve as part of the

pump. Close this valve to isolate the service hose from the pump.• For pumps without an isolator, use a hose equipped with a manual

shut-off valve near the pump end. Close the valve to isolate thehose from the pump.

• If the hose has an automatic shut-off valve, disconnect the hosefrom the pump. As long as the hose is connected, the valve is openand lubricating oil may migrate.

Some one-way valves open when vacuum is applied and closeunder a no vacuum condition. Such valves may restrict the pump’sability to pull a deep vacuum and are not recommended.

MANIFOLD GAUGE SETBe certain that the gauge face indicates HFC-134a or R-134a. Besure the gauge set has 1/2″-16 ACME threaded connections for ser-vice hoses. Confirm the set has been used only with refrigerantHFC-134a (R-134a) and specified lubricants.

SERVICE HOSESBe 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 automatic) near the end of the hosesopposite the manifold gauge.

Never attempt to connect HFC-134a (R-134a) service couplers to anCFC-12 (R-12) A/C system. The HFC-134a (R-134a) couplers willnot properly connect to the CFC-12 (R-12) system. However, if animproper connection is attempted, discharging and contaminationmay occur.

REFRIGERANT WEIGHT SCALEVerify that no refrigerant other than HFC-134a (R-134a) and speci-fied lubricants have been used with the scale. If the scale controlsrefrigerant flow electronically, the hose fitting must be 1/2″-16ACME.

CALIBRATING ACR4 WEIGHT SCALECalibrate the scale every three months.To calibrate the weight scale on the ACR4:1. Press “Shift/Reset” and “Enter” at the same time.2. Press “8787”. “A1” will be displayed.3. Remove all weight from the scale.4. Press “0”, then press “Enter”. “0.00” will be displayed and change to “A2”.5. Place a known weight (dumbbell or similar weight), between 4.5 and 8.6 kg (10 and 19 lb.) on the center

of the weight scale.6. Enter the known weight using four digits. (Example 10 lb. = 10.00, 10.5 lb. = 10.50)7. Press “Enter” — the display returns to the vacuum mode.8. Press “Shift/Reset” and “Enter” at the same time.9. Press “6” — the known weight on the scale is displayed.10. Remove the known weight from the scale. “0.00” will be displayed.11. Press “Shift/Reset” to return the ACR4 to the program mode.

CHARGING CYLINDERUsing a charging cylinder is not recommended. Refrigerant may be vented into air from cylinder’s top valvewhen filling the cylinder with refrigerant. Also, the accuracy of the cylinder is generally less than that of anelectronic scale or of quality recycle/recharge equipment.

Precaution for Leak Detection Dye INFOID:0000000006108164

• The A/C system contains a fluorescent leak detection dye used for locating refrigerant leaks. An ultraviolet(UV) lamp is required to illuminate the dye when inspecting for leaks.

• Always wear fluorescence enhancing UV safety goggles to protect your eyes and enhance the visibility ofthe fluorescent dye.

• The fluorescent dye leak detector is not a replacement for an electronic refrigerant leak detector. The fluo-rescent dye leak detector should be used in conjunction with an electronic refrigerant leak detector (J-41995) to pin-point refrigerant leaks.

• For your safety and your customer’s satisfaction, read and follow all manufacture’s operating instructionsand precautions prior to performing the work.

• A compressor shaft seal should not be repaired because of dye seepage. The compressor shaft seal shouldonly be repaired after confirming the leak with an electronic refrigerant leak detector (J-41995).

PRECAUTIONS

< SERVICE INFORMATION >• Always remove any remaining dye from the leak area after repairs are complete to avoid a misdiagnosis dur-

ing a future service.• Never allow dye to come into contact with painted body panels or interior components. If dye is spilled, clean

immediately with the approved dye cleaner. Fluorescent dye left on a surface for an extended period of timecannot be removed.

• Never spray the fluorescent dye cleaning agent on hot surfaces (engine exhaust manifold, etc.).• Never 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. Never use HFC-

134a (R-134a) leak detection dye in CFC-12 (R-12) A/C system or CFC-12 (R-12) leak detector dye in HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C systems or A/C system damage may result.

• The fluorescent properties of the dye will remain for over three (3) years unless a compressor malfunctionoccurs.

IDENTIFICATIONNOTE:Vehicles with factory installed fluorescent dye have a green label.Vehicles without factory installed fluorescent dye have a blue label.

IDENTIFICATION LABEL FOR VEHICLEVehicles with factory installed fluorescent dye have this identificationlabel on the front side of hood.

REFRIGERATION SYSTEM

Refrigerant Cycle INFOID:0000000006108168

REFRIGERANT FLOWThe refrigerant flows in the standard pattern, that is, through the compressor, the condenser with liquid tank,through the evaporator, and back to the compressor. The refrigerant evaporation through the evaporator iscontrolled by an externally equalized expansion valve, located inside the evaporator case.

FREEZE PROTECTIONUnder usual operating conditions, when the A/C is switched ON, the compressor runs continuously, and theevaporator pressure, and therefore, temperature is controlled by the V-6 variable displacement compressor toprevent freeze up.

Refrigerant System Protection INFOID:0000000006108169

REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSORThe refrigerant system is protected against excessively high or low pressures by the refrigerant pressure sen-sor, located on the condenser. If the system pressure rises above or falls below the specifications, the refriger-ant pressure sensor detects the pressure inside the refrigerant line and sends a voltage signal to the ECM.The ECM de-energizes the A/C relay to disengage the magnetic compressor clutch when pressure on the highpressure side detected by refrigerant pressure sensor is over about 2,746 kPa (28 kg/cm2, 398 psi), or belowabout 120 kPa (1.22 kg/cm2, 17.4 psi).

PRESSURE RELIEF VALVEThe refrigerant system is also protected by a pressure relief valve, located in the rear head of the compressor.When the pressure of refrigerant in the system increases to an abnormal level [more than 2,990 kPa (30.5 kg/

MTC-19

LUBRICANT

Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compressor INFOID:0000000006108171

The lubricant in the compressor circulates through the system with the refrigerant. Add lubricant to compres-sor when replacing any component or after a large refrigerant leakage has occurred. It is important to maintainthe specified amount.If lubricant quantity is not maintained properly, the following malfunctions may result:• Lack of lubricant: May lead to a seized compressor• Excessive lubricant: Inadequate cooling (thermal exchange interference)

LUBRICANTName: NISSAN A/C System Lubricant Type S (DH-PS)Part number: KLH00-PAGS0

CHECKING AND ADJUSTINGCAUTION:If excessive lubricant leakage is noted, never perform the lubricant return operation.Start the engine and set the following conditions:

test condition• Engine speed: Idling to 1,200 rpm• A/C switch: On• Blower speed: Max. position• Temp. control: Optional [Set so that intake air temperature is 25° to 30° C (77° to 86°F).]• Intake position: Recirculation ( )• Perform lubricant return operation for about ten minutesAdjust the lubricant quantity according to the following table.

Lubricant Adjusting Procedure for Components Replacement Except CompressorAfter replacing any of the following major components, add the correct amount of lubricant to the system.Amount of lubricant to be added

• *1: If refrigerant leak is small, no addition of lubricant is needed.

Lubricant Adjustment Procedure for Compressor Replacement

1. Before connecting recovery/recycling equipment to vehicle, check recovery/recycling equipment gauges.No refrigerant pressure should be displayed. If NG, recover refrigerant from equipment lines.

2. Discharge refrigerant into the refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment. Measure lubricant discharged intothe recovery/recycling equipment.

3. Drain the lubricant from the “old” (removed) compressor into a graduated container and recover theamount of lubricant drained.

4. Drain the lubricant from the “new” compressor into a separate, clean container.5. Measure an amount of new lubricant installed equal to amount drained from “old” compressor. Add this

lubricant to “new” compressor through the suction port opening.6. Measure an amount of new lubricant equal to the amount recovered during discharging. Add this lubricant

to “new” compressor through the suction port opening.

AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL

< SERVICE INFORMATION >

AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL

Description INFOID:0000000006108172

The front air control provides regulation of the vehicle's interior temperature. The system is based on the posi-tion of the front air controls temperature switch selected by the driver. This is done by utilizing a microcom-puter, also referred to as the front air control, which receives input signals from the following three sensors:• Intake sensor• PBR (Position Balanced Resistor).The front air control uses these signals (including the set position of the temperature switch) to control:• Outlet air volume• Air temperature• Air distribution

The front air control is used to select: • Outlet air volume• Air temperature/distribution

Operation INFOID:0000000006108173

AIR MIX DOOR CONTROLThe air mix door is controlled so that in-vehicle temperature changed based on the position of the temperatureswitch.

BLOWER SPEED CONTROLBlower speed is controlled based on front blower switch settings.When blower switch is turned, the blower motor starts and increases air flow volume each time the blowerswitch is turned clockwise, and decreases air flow volume each time the blower switch is turned counterclock-wise.When engine coolant temperature is low, the blower motor operation is delayed to prevent cool air from flow-ing.

INTAKE DOORS CONTROLThe intake doors are controlled by the recirculation switch setting, and the mode (defroster) switch setting.

MODE DOOR CONTROLThe mode door is controlled by the position of the mode switch.

DEFROSTER DOOR CONTROLThe defroster door is controlled by: Turning the defroster dial to front defroster.

When the A/C switch is pressed, or the mode switch is turned to the defroster position, the front air control out-puts a compressor ON signal to BCM.The BCM then sends a compressor ON signal to ECM, via CAN communication line.ECM judges whether compressor can be turned ON, based on each sensor status (refrigerant pressure sen-sor signal, throttle angle sensor, etc.). If it judges compressor can be turned ON, it sends compressor ON sig-nal to IPDM E/R, via CAN communication line.Upon receipt of compressor ON signal from ECM, IPDM E/R turns air conditioner relay ON to operate com-pressor.

SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEMThe self-diagnostic system is built into the front air control to quickly locate the cause of symptoms. Refer toMTC-37, "A/C System Self-Diagnosis Function".

Description of Control System INFOID:0000000006108174

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS

< SERVICE INFORMATION >System OperationThe mode door position (vent, B/L, foot, and defrost) is set by the front air control by means of the mode doormotor. When a mode door position is selected on the front air control, voltage is applied to one circuit of themode door motor while ground is applied to the other circuit, causing the mode door motor to rotate. The direc-tion of rotation is determined by which circuit has voltage applied to it, and which one has ground applied to it.The front air control monitors the mode door position by measuring the voltage signal on the PBR circuit.

The front air control receives data from the temperature selected by the driver. The front air control thenapplies a voltage to one circuit of the appropriate air mix door motor, while ground is applied to the other cir-cuit, causing the appropriate air mix door motor to rotate. The direction of rotation is determined by which cir-cuit has voltage applied to it, and which one has ground applied to it. The front air control monitors the air mixdoor positions by measuring the voltage signal on the PBR circuits of each door.

Air Mix Door Control Specification

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION

Air Mix Door MotorThe air mix door motor (front) is attached to the heater & cooling unit.This motor rotates so that the air mix door is opened or closed to aposition set by the front air control. Motor rotation is then conveyedthrough a shaft and the air mix door position is then fed back to thefront air control by the PBR built into the air mix door motor.NOTE:This illustration is for LHD models.The layout for RHD models is symmetrically opposite.

Checking of Refrigerant Leaks INFOID:0000000006108238

Perform a visual inspection of all refrigeration parts, fittings, hoses and components for signs of A/C lubricantleakage, damage and corrosion. A/C lubricant leakage may indicate an area of refrigerant leakage. Allowextra inspection time in these areas when using either an electronic refrigerant leak detector or fluorescentdye leak detector.If dye is observed, confirm the leak with an electronic refrigerant leak detector. It is possible a prior leak wasrepaired and not properly cleaned.When searching for leaks, do not stop when one leak is found but continue to check for additional leaks at allsystem components and connections.When searching for refrigerant leaks using an electronic leak detector, move the probe along the suspectedleak area at 1 to 2 inches per second and no further than 1/4 inch from the component.CAUTION:Moving the electronic leak detector probe slower and closer to the suspected leak area will improvethe chances of finding a leak.

Checking System for Leaks Using the Fluorescent Leak Detector INFOID:0000000006108239

1. Check A/C system for leaks using the UV lamp and safety goggles [SST: J-42220] in a less sunlight area(area without windows preferable). Illuminate all components, fittings and lines. The dye will appear as abright 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) leak.

2. If the suspected area is difficult to see, use an adjustable mirror or wipe the area with a clean shop rag orcloth, with the UV lamp for dye residue.

3. After the leak is repaired, remove any residual dye using dye cleaner [SST: J-43872] to prevent future mis-diagnosis.

4. Perform a system performance check and verify the leak repair with an approved electronic refrigerantleak detector.

NOTE:Other gases in the work area or substances on the A/C components, for example, anti-freeze, windshieldwasher fluid, solvents and lubricants, may falsely trigger the leak detector. Make sure the surfaces to bechecked 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 can also cause false readingsand may damage the detector.

Dye Injection INFOID:0000000006108240

(This procedure is only necessary when recharging the system or when the compressor has seized and wasreplaced.)

1. Check A/C system static (at rest) pressure. Pressure must be at least 345 kPa (3.45 bar, 3.52 kg/cm2, 50psi).

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 fitting.4. Start engine and switch A/C ON.5. When the A/C operating (compressor running), inject one bottle (1/4 ounce / 7.4 cc) of fluorescent dye

through the low-pressure service valve using dye injector tool J-41459 (refer to the manufacture’s operat-ing instructions).

6. With the engine still running, disconnect the injector tool from the service fitting.CAUTION:Be careful the A/C system or replacing a component, pour the dye directly into the open systemconnection 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 theleak size, operating conditions and location of the leak, it may take from minutes to days for the dye topenetrate a leak and become visible.

Electronic Refrigerant Leak Detector INFOID:0000000006108241

PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING LEAK DETECTORWhen performing a refrigerant leak check, use an A/C electrical leakdetector (SST) or equivalent. Ensure that the instrument is calibratedand set properly per the operating instructions.The leak detector is a delicate device. In order to use the leak detec-tor properly, read the operating instructions and perform any speci-fied maintenance.

1. Position probe approximately 5 mm (3/16 in) away from point tobe checked.

SHA705EB

SHA707EA

MTC-113

REFRIGERANT LINES

< SERVICE INFORMATION >

2. When testing, circle each fitting completely with probe.

3. Move probe along component approximately 25 to 50 mm (1 to2 in)/sec.

CHECKING PROCEDURETo prevent inaccurate or false readings, make sure there is no refrigerant vapor, shop chemicals, or cigarettesmoke in the vicinity of the vehicle. Perform the leak test in calm area (low air/wind movement) so that theleaking refrigerant is not dispersed.1. Turn engine OFF.2. Connect a suitable A/C manifold gauge set (SST) to the A/C service valves.

3. Check if the A/C refrigerant pressure is at least 345 kPa (3.45 bar, 3.52 kg/cm2, 50 psi) above 16°C. If lessthan specification, recover/evacuate and recharge the system with the specified amount of refrigerant.NOTE:At temperatures below 16°C, leaks may not be detected since the system may not reach 345 kPa (3.45bar, 3.52 kg/cm2, 50 psi).

4. Perform the leak test from the high-pressure side (compressor discharge a to evaporator inlet g) to thelow-pressure side (evaporator drain hose h to shaft seal l). Refer to MTC-102, "Component". Perform aleak check for the following areas carefully. Clean the component to be checked and move the leakdetected probe completely around the connection/component.CompressorCheck the fitting of high- and low-pressure flexible hoses, relief valve and shaft seal.Liquid tankCheck the refrigerant pressure sensor.Service valvesCheck all around the service valves. Ensure service valve caps are secured on the service valves (to pre-vent leaks).NOTE:After removing A/C manifold gauge set from service valves, wipe any residue from valves to prevent anyfalse readings by leak detector.Cooling unit (Evaporator)With engine OFF, turn blower fan on “High” for at least 15 seconds to dissipate any refrigerant trace in thecooling unit. Wait a minimum of 10 minutes accumulation time (refer to the manufacturer’s recommendedprocedure for actual wait time) before inserting the leak detector probe into the drain hose.Keep the probe inserted for at least 10 seconds. Use caution not to contaminate the probe tip with wateror dirt that may be in the drain hose.

5. If a leak detector detects a leak, verify at least once by blowing compressed air into area of suspectedleak, then repeat check as outlined above.

6. Do not stop when one leak is found. Continue to check for additional leaks at all system components.
