PRECAUTIONS PFP:00001

Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER” EJS001OH

The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section 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 per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
● Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the SRS section.
● Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or
harness connectors.
Precautions for Working with HFC-134a (R-134a) EJS001JU

WARNING:
● 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 to
minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere.
– When installing refrigerant components to a vehicle, do not remove the caps (unseal) until just
before connecting the components. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as possi-
ble to minimize the entry of moisture into system.
– Only use the specified lubricant from a sealed container. Immediately reseal containers of lubri-
cant. 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 and
throat. Use only approved recovery/recycling equipment to discharge HFC-134a (R-134a) refriger-
ant. If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service. Addi-
tional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and lubricant
manufacturers.
– Do not allow lubricant (Nissan A/C System Oil Type S or R) to come in contact with styrofoam
parts. Damage may result.
General Refrigerant Precautions EJS001JV

WARNING:
● Do not 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.
● Do not store or heat refrigerant containers above 52°C (125°F).
● Do not 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.
● Do not 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
suffocation.
● Do not pressure test or leak test HFC-134a (R-134a) service equipment and/or vehicle air condi-
tioning systems with compressed air during repair. Some mixtures of air and HFC-134a (R-134a)
have been shown to be combustible at elevated pressures. These mixtures, if ignited, may cause

ATC-4
PRECAUTIONS

injury or property damage. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refriger-
ant manufacturers. A
Lubricant Precautions EJS001JW

● Use only specified lubricant for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) components. B
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 following
handling precautions must be observed:
C
– When removing refrigerant components from a vehicle, immediately cap (seal) the component to minimize
the entry of moisture from the atmosphere.
– When installing refrigerant components to a vehicle, do not remove the caps (unseal) until just before con-
D
necting the components. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as possible to minimize the
entry of moisture into system.
– Only use the specified lubricant from a sealed container. Immediately reseal containers of lubricant. With-
out proper sealing, lubricant will become moisture saturated and should not be used. E
● Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and throat.
Use only approved recovery/recycling equipment to discharge HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant. If acciden-
tal system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service. Additional health and safety F
information may be obtained from refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
● Do not allow lubricant (Nissan A/C System Oil Type S or R) to come in contact with styrofoam parts. Dam-
age may result. G
Precautions for Refrigerant Connection EJS001JX

A new type refrigerant connection has been introduced to all refrigerant lines except the following location. H
● Expansion valve to cooling unit
● Refrigerant pressure sensor (or dual-pressure switch) to liquid tank
FEATURES OF NEW TYPE REFRIGERANT CONNECTION I
● 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
the O-ring is now set vertically in relation to the contacting surface of the mating part to improve sealing ATC
characteristics.
● The reaction force of the O-ring will not occur in the direction that causes the joint to pull out, thereby facil-
itating piping connections. K

ATC-7
PRECAUTIONS

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.
Malfunction 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. Do not remove the seal caps of pipes and other components until just before required for
connection.
● Allow components stored in cool areas to warm to working area temperature before removing seal
caps. 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.

● 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.

PRECAUTIONS

Precautions for Servicing Compressor EJS001JY

A
● 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 Compres- B
sor” exactly. Refer to ATC-23, "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.
C
● 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
is installed, let the engine idle and operate the compressor for one hour.
D
● After replacing the compressor magnet clutch, apply voltage to the new one and check for usual
operation.
Precautions for Service Equipment EJS001JZ E
RECOVERY/RECYCLING EQUIPMENT
Be certain to follow the manufacturers instructions for machine operation and machine maintenance. Never
introduce any refrigerant other than that specified into the machine. F
ELECTRONIC LEAK DETECTOR
Be certain to follow the manufacturer′s instructions for tester operation and tester maintenance.
G
VACUUM PUMP
The lubricant contained inside the vacuum pump is not compatible
with the specified lubricant for HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C systems.
H
The vent side of the vacuum pump is exposed to atmospheric pres-
sure. So the vacuum pump lubricant may migrate out of the pump
into the service hose. This is possible when the pump is switched off
after evacuation (vacuuming) and hose is connected to it. I
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 ATC
the pump. Close this valve to isolate the service hose from the
pump.
● For pumps without an isolator, use a hose equipped with a man- K
ual shut-off valve near the pump end. Close the valve to isolate
the hose from the pump.
● If the hose has an automatic shut off valve, disconnect the hose
from the pump. As long as the hose is connected, the valve is L
open and lubricating oil may migrate.
Some one-way valves open when vacuum is applied and close
under a no vacuum condition. Such valves may restrict the pump′s M
ability to pull a deep vacuum and are not recommended.

RHA270DA

MANIFOLD GAUGE SET


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

SHA533D

ATC-9
PRECAUTIONS

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 automatic) near the end of the hoses
opposite the manifold gauge.

RHA272D

SERVICE COUPLERS
Never attempt to connect HFC-134a (R-134a) service couplers to an
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.

REFRIGERANT WEIGHT SCALE


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

ATC-10
PRECAUTIONS

CHARGING CYLINDER
Using a charging cylinder is not recommended. Refrigerant may be vented into air from cylinder′s top valve A
when filling the cylinder with refrigerant. Also, the accuracy of the cylinder is generally less than that of an
electronic scale or of quality recycle/recharge equipment.
B
Precautions for Leak Detection Dye EJS001K0

● 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.
C
● Always wear fluorescence enhancing UV safety goggles to protect your eyes and enhance the visibility of
the fluorescent dye.
● The fluorescent dye leak detector is not a replacement for an electronic refrigerant leak detector. The fluo- D
rescent dye leak detector should be used in conjunction with an electronic refrigerant leak detector to (J-
41995) pin-point refrigerant leaks.
● For your safety and your Customer′s satisfaction, read and follow all manufacture′s operating instructions
E
and precautions prior to performing the work.
● A compressor shaft seal should not be repaired because of dye seepage. The compressor shaft seal
should only be repaired after confirming the leak with an electronic refrigerant leak detector (J-41995).
● Always remove any remaining dye from the leak area after repairs are complete to avoid a misdiagnosis F
during a future service.
● Do not 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 G
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. H

A
Refrigerant Cycle EJS001K4

REFRIGERANT FLOW
The refrigerant flows in the standard pattern, that is, through the compressor, the condenser with liquid tank, B
through the evaporator, and back to the compressor. The refrigerant evaporation through the evaporator coil is
controlled by an externally equalized expansion valve, located inside the evaporator case.
FREEZE PROTECTION (WITH GASOLINE ENGINE: CWV-615M COMPRESSOR) C
Under usual operating conditions, when the A/C is switched on, the compressor runs continuously, and the
evaporator pressure, and therefore, temperature is controlled by the V-6 variable displacement compressor to
prevent freeze up.
D
Refrigerant System Protection EJS001K5

REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR (WITH GASOLINE ENGINE: CWV-615M COMPRESSOR)


The refrigerant system is protected against excessively high- or low-pressures by the refrigerant pressure sen- E
sor, located on the liquid tank. 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 the voltage signal to the ECM.
ECM makes the A/C relay go OFF and stops the compressor when pressure on the high pressure side F
detected by refrigerant pressure sensor is over about 2,746 kPa (27.46 bar, 28 kg/cm2 , 398 psi), or below
about 134 kPa (1.34 bar, 1.4 kg/cm2 , 20 psi).
DUAL-PRESSURE SWITCH (WITH DIESEL ENGINE: DKV-11G COMPRESSOR) G
The refrigerant system is protected against excessively high- or low-pressures by the dual-pressure switch,
located on the liquid tank. If the system pressure rises above or falls below the specifications, the dual-pres-
sure switch opens to interrupt the compressor operation. H
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE (WITH GASOLINE ENGINE: CWV-615M COMPRESSOR)
The 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 unusual level [more than 3,727 kPa (37.27 bar, I
38 kg/cm2 , 540 psi)], the release port on the pressure relief valve automatically opens and releases refriger-
ant into the atmosphere.

RJIA0676E

V-6 Variable Displacement Compressor (With Gasoline Engine: CWV-615M


Compressor) EJS001K6

GENERAL INFORMATION
1. The V-6 variable compressor differs from previous units. The vent temperatures of the V-6 variable com-
pressor do not drop too far below 5°C (41°F) when:
Evaporator intake air temperature is less than 20°C (68°F).
Engine is running at speeds less than 1,500 rpm.
This is because the V-6 compressor provides a means of “capacity” control.
2. The V-6 variable compressor provides refrigerant control under varying conditions. During cold winters, it
may not produce high refrigerant pressure discharge (compared to previous units) when used with air
conditioning systems.
3. A “clanking” sound may occasionally be heard during refrigerant charge. The sound indicates that the tilt
angle of the wobble (swash) plate has changed and is not a malfunction.
4. For air conditioning systems with the V-6 compressor, the clutch remains engaged unless: the system
main switch, fan switch or ignition switch is turned OFF. When ambient (outside) temperatures are low or
when the amount of refrigerant is insufficient, the clutch is disengaged to protect the compressor.
5. A constant range of suction pressure is maintained when engine speed is greater than a certain value. It
normally ranges from 147 to 177 kPa (1.47 to 1.77 bar, 1.5 to 1.8 kg/cm2 , 21 to 26 psi) under varying con-
ditions.
In previous compressors, however, suction pressure was reduced with increases in engine speed.

ATC-18
REFRIGERATION SYSTEM

DESCRIPTION
General A
The variable compressor is basically a swash plate type that changes piston stroke in response to the required
cooling capacity.
The tilt of the wobble (swash) plate allows the piston′s stroke to change so that refrigerant discharge can be B
continuously changed from 14.5 to 146 cm3 (0.885 to 8.91 cu in).

ATC

RJIA1346E

ATC-19
REFRIGERATION SYSTEM

Operation
1. Operation Control Valve
Operation control valve is located in the suction port (low-pressure) side, and opens or closes in response
to changes in refrigerant suction pressure.
Operation of the valve controls the internal pressure of the crankcase.
The angle of the wobble (swash) plate is controlled between the crankcase′s internal pressure and the
piston cylinder pressure.
2. Maximum Cooling
Refrigerant pressure on the low-pressure side increases with an increase in heat loads.
When this occurs, the control valve′s bellows compress to open the low-pressure side valve and close the
high-pressure side valve.
This causes the following pressure changes:
● The crankcase′s internal pressure to equal the pressure on the low-pressure side;
● The cylinder′s internal pressure to be greater than the crankcase′s internal pressure.
Under this condition, the wobble (swash) plate is set to the maximum stroke position.

RHA473C

3. Capacity Control
● Refrigerant pressure on suction side is low during high speed driving or when ambient or interior tem-
perature is low.
● The bellows expands when refrigerant pressure on the suction pressure side drops below approxi
mately 177 kPa (1.77 bar, 1.8 kg/cm2 , 26 psi).
Since suction pressure is low, it makes the suction port close and the discharge port open. Thus, crank-
case pressure becomes high as high-pressure enters the crankcase.
● The force acts around the journal pin near the wobble (swash) plate, and is generated by the pressure
difference before and behind the piston.
The drive lug and journal pin are located where the piston generates the highest pressure. Piston pres-
sure is between suction pressure Ps and discharge pressure Pd, which is near suction pressure Ps. If
crankcase pressure Pc rises due to capacity control, the force around the journal pin makes the wobble
(swash) plate angle decrease and also the piston stroke decrease. In other words, crankcase pressure
increase triggers pressure difference between the piston and the crankcase. The pressure difference
changes the angle of the wobble (swash) plate.

AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL

AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL PFP:27500

Overview Air Conditioner LAN Control System EJS001K9

The LAN (Local Area Network) system consists of auto amp., mode door motor, air mix door motor and intake
door motor.
A configuration of these components is shown in the diagram below.

RJIA0480E

System Construction EJS001KA

A small network is constructed between the auto amplifier, air mix door motor, mode door motor and intake
door motor. The auto amplifier and motors are connected by data transmission lines and motor power supply
lines. The LAN network is built through the ground circuits of each door motor.
Addresses, motor opening angle signals, motor stop signals and error checking messages are all transmitted
through the data transmission lines connecting the auto amplifier and each door motor.
The following functions are contained in LCUs built into air mix door motor, mode door motor and intake door
motor.
● Address
● Motor opening angle signals
● Data transmission
● Motor stop and drive decision
● Opening angle sensor (PBR function)
● Comparison
● Decision (Auto amplifier indicated value and motor opening angle comparison)

RHA350H

OPERATION
The auto amplifier receives data from each of the sensors. The amplifier sends mode door, air mix door and
intake door opening angle data to the mode door motor LCU, air mix door motor LCU and intake door motor
LCU.
The mode door motor, air mix door motor and intake door motor read their respective signals according to the
address signal. Opening angle indication signals received from the auto amplifier and each of the motor posi-
tion sensors are compared by the LCUs in each motor with the existing decision and opening angles. Subse-
quently, HOT/COLD, DEFROST/VENT or FRESH/RECIRCULATION operation is selected. The new selection
data is returned to the auto amplifier.

AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL

RHA351H
D
TRANSMISSION DATA AND TRANSMISSION ORDER
Amplifier data is transmitted consecutively to each of the door motors following the form shown in figure below.
Start: Initial compulsory signal sent to each of the door motors.
E
Address: Data sent from the auto amplifier is selected according to data-based decisions made by the air mix
door motor, mode door motor and intake door motor.
If the addresses are identical, the opening angle data and error check signals are received by the door motor
LCUs. The LCUs then make the appropriate error decision. If the opening angle data is usual, door control F
begins.
If an error exists, the received data is rejected and corrected data received. Finally, door control is based upon
the corrected opening angle data.
G
Opening angle:
Data that shows the indicated door opening angle of each door motor.
Error check:
Procedure by which sent and received data is checked for errors. Error data is then compiled. The error check H
prevents corrupted data from being used by the air mix door motor, mode door motor and intake door motor.
Error data can be related to the following symptoms.
● Malfunction electrical frequency I
● Poor electrical connections
● Signal leakage from transmission lines
● Signal level fluctuation ATC
Stop signal:
At the end of each transmission, a stop operation, in-operation, or internal malfunction message is delivered to
the auto amplifier. This completes one data transmission and control cycle. K

AIR MIX DOOR CONTROL (AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL)


The air mix door is automatically controlled so that in-vehicle temperature is maintained at a predetermined
value by: The temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle temperature and amount of sunload.
FAN SPEED CONTROL
Blower speed is automatically controlled based on temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle tem-
perature, intake temperature, amount of sunload and air mix door position.
With FAN control dial set to AUTO, the blower motor starts to gradually increase air flow volume.
When engine coolant temperature is low, the blower motor operation is delayed to prevent cool air from flow-
ing.
INTAKE DOOR CONTROL
The intake doors are automatically controlled by: The temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle
temperature, intake temperature, amount of sunload and ON-OFF operation of the compressor.
OUTLET DOOR CONTROL
The outlet door is automatically controlled by: The temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle tem-
perature, intake temperature and amount of sunload.
MAGNET CLUTCH CONTROL
The ECM controls compressor operation using input signals from the throttle position sensor, refrigerant pres-
sure sensor (or dual-pressure switch) and auto amplifier.
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
The self-diagnostic system is built into the auto amplifier to quickly locate the cause of symptoms.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS

Self-diagnosis Function EJS004OI

DESCRIPTION
The self-diagnostic system diagnoses sensors, door motors, blower motor, etc. by system line.
Self-diagnosis is step-1 to 7. There are two ways of changing method during self-diagnosis.
● Switching to self-diagnosis step-1 to 4.
Shifting from usual control to the self-diagnostic system is accomplished by starting the engine (turning
the ignition switch from OFF to ON) and pressing A/C switch for at least 5 seconds. The A/C switch must
be pressed within 10 seconds after starting the engine (ignition switch is turned ON). This system will be
canceled by either pressing intake switch or turning the ignition switch OFF. Shifting from one step to
another is accomplished be means of turning fan control dial, as required.
● Switching to self-diagnosis step-5 to 7 (Auxiliary mechanism).
Shifting from usual control to the self-diagnostic system is accomplished by starting the engine (turning
the ignition switch from OFF to ON) and pressing intake switch for at least 5 seconds. The intake switch
must be pressed within 10 seconds after starting the engine (ignition switch is tuned ON). This system will
be canceled by either pressing A/C switch or turning the ignition switch OFF. Shifting from one step to
another is accomplished by means of turning fan control dial, as required.

Automatic Mode
In the automatic mode, the blower motor speed is calculated by the automatic amplifier based on input from
the PBR, in-vehicle sensor, sunload sensor, intake sensor and ambient sensor.
The blower motor applied voltage ranges from approximately 4 volts (lowest speed) to 12 volts (highest
speed).
The control blower speed (in the range of 4 to 12V), the automatic amplifier supplies a gate voltage to the fan
control amplifier. Based on this voltage, the fan control amplifier controls the voltage supplied to the blower
motor.

ATC-81
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS

Starting Fan Speed Control


Start Up From COLD SOAK Condition (Automatic mode)
In a cold start up condition where the engine coolant temperature is below 56°C (133°F), the blower will not
operate for a short period of time (up to 150 seconds). The exact start delay time varies depending on the
ambient and engine coolant temperature.
In the most extreme case (very low ambient) the blower starting delay will be 150 seconds as described
above. After this delay, the blower will operate at low speed until the engine coolant temperature rises above
56°C (133°F), at which time the blower speed will increase to the objective speed.

Start Up From Usual or HOT SOAK Condition (Automatic mode)


The blower will begin operation momentarily after the A/C switch is pushed. The blower speed will gradually
rise to the objective speed over a time period of 3 seconds or less (actual time depends on the objective
blower speed).
Blower Speed Compensation
Sunload
When the in-vehicle temperature and the set temperature are very close, the blower will be operating at low
speed. The low speed will vary depending on the sunload. During conditions of low or no sunload, the blower
low speed is usual low speed (approx. 4V). During high sunload conditions, the auto amp causes the blower
fan speed to increase. (Approx. 7V)

Ambient Sensor Circuit EJS004OV

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Ambient Sensor
The ambient sensor is attached on the hood lock stay. It detects
ambient temperature and converts it into a resistance value which is
then input into the auto amplifier.

RJIA0048E

AMBIENT TEMPERATURE INPUT PROCESS


The auto amplifier includes a processing circuit for the ambient sensor input. However, when the temperature
detected by the ambient sensor increases quickly, the processing circuit retards the auto amp. function. It only
allows the auto amp. to recognize an ambient temperature increase of 0.33°C (0.6°F) per 100 seconds.
As an example, consider stopping for a few minutes after high speed driving. Although the actual ambient tem-
perature has not changed, the temperature detected by the ambient sensor will increase. This is because the
heat from the engine compartment can radiate to the front grille area, location of the ambient sensor.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR AMBIENT SENSOR
SYMPTOM: Ambient sensor circuit is open or shorted.

Sunload Sensor Circuit EJS004OX

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION A
The sunload sensor is located on the defroster grille (passenger
side). It detects sunload entering through windshield by means of a
photo diode. The sensor converts the sunload into a current value B
which is then input into the auto amplifier.

D
RJIA0050E

SUNLOAD INPUT PROCESS E


The auto amp. also includes a processing circuit which averages the variations in detected sunload over a
period of time. This prevents drastic swings 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 F
detected by the sunload sensor will vary whenever the trees 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 the ATC system operation. On the other hand, shortly G
after entering a long tunnel, the system will recognize the change in sunload, and the system will react accord-
ingly.

Checking for Refrigerant Leaks EJS001LX

Perform a visual inspection of all refrigeration parts, fittings, hoses and components for signs of A/C lubricant
leakage, damage and corrosion. A/C lubricant leakage may indicate an area of refrigerant leakage. Allow
extra inspection time in these areas when using either an electronic refrigerant leak detector or fluorescent
dye leak detector.
If dye is observed, confirm the leak with an electronic refrigerant leak detector. It is possible a prior leak was
repaired and not properly cleaned.
When searching for leaks, do not stop when one leak is found but continue to check for additional leaks at all
system components and connections.
When searching for refrigerant leaks using an electronic leak detector, move the probe along the suspected
leak 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 improve
the chances of finding a leak.

ATC-156
REFRIGERANT LINES

Checking System for Leaks Using the Fluorescent Leak Detector EJS001LY

A
1. Check A/C system for leaks using the UV lamp and safety goggles (J-42220) in a low sunlight area (area
without windows preferable). Illuminate all components, fittings and lines. The dye will appear as a bright
green/yellow area at the point of leakage. Fluorescent dye observed at the evaporator drain opening indi-
cates an evaporator core assembly (tubes, core or expansion valve) leak. B
2. If the suspected area is difficult to see, use an adjustable mirror or wipe the area with a clean shop rag or
cloth, with the UV lamp for dye residue.
3. After the leak is repaired, remove any residual dye using dye cleaner (J-43872) to prevent future misdiag- C
nosis.
4. Perform a system performance check and verify the leak repair with an approved electronic refrigerant
leak detector. D
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 E
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 can also cause false readings
and may damage the detector. F

Dye Injection EJS001LZ

(This procedure is only necessary when recharging the system or when the compressor has seized and was G
replaced.)
1. Check A/C system static (at rest) pressure. Pressure must be at least 345 kPa (3.45 bar, 3.52 kg/cm2 , 50
psi). H
2. Pour one bottle (1/4 ounce / 7.4 cc) of the A/C refrigerant dye into the injector tool (J-41459).
3. Connect the injector tool to the A/C LOW-PRESSURE side service fitting.
4. Start engine and switch A/C ON. I
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). ATC
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 system con- K
nection 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
leak size, operating conditions and location of the leak, it may take from minutes to days for the dye to L
penetrate a leak and become visible.
Electronic Refrigerant Leak Detector EJS001M0

PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING LEAK DETECTOR M


When performing a refrigerant leak check, use an A/C leak detector
or equivalent. Ensure that the instrument is calibrated and set prop-
erly 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.

SHA708EA

CHECKING PROCEDURE
To prevent inaccurate or false readings, make sure there is no refrigerant vapor, shop chemicals, or cigarette
smoke in the vicinity of the vehicle. Perform the leak test in calm area (low air/wind movement) so that the
leaking refrigerant is not dispersed.
1. Turn engine OFF.
2. Connect a suitable A/C manifold gauge set to the A/C service ports.
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
(61°F). If less than specification, recover/evacuate and recharge the system with the specified amount of
refrigerant.
NOTE:
At temperatures below 16°C (61°F), leaks may not be detected since the system may not reach 345 kPa (3.45
bar, 3.52 kg/cm2 , 50 psi).
4. Conduct the leak test from the high side (compressor discharge a to evaporator inlet g) to the low side
(evaporator drain hose h to shaft seal k). Refer to ATC-140, "Components" . Perform a leak check for the
following areas carefully. Clean the component to be checked and move the leak detected probe com-
pletely around the connection/component.
Compressor
Check the fitting of high- and low-pressure hoses, relief valve and shaft seal.
Liquid tank
Check the refrigerant pressure sensor.
Service valves

ATC-158
REFRIGERANT LINES

Check all around the service valves. Ensure service valve caps are secured on the service valves (to pre-
vent leaks). A
NOTE:
After removing A/C manifold gauge set from service valves, wipe any residue from valves to prevent any
false readings by leak detector. B

Cooling unit (Evaporator)


With engine OFF, turn blower fan on “High” for at least 15 seconds to dissipate any refrigerant trace in the C
cooling unit. Wait a minimum of 10 minutes accumulation time (refer to the manufacturer′s recommended
procedure 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 water
or dirt that may be in the drain hose. D
5. If a leak detector detects a leak, verify at least once by blowing compressed air into area of suspected
leak, 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. E
If no leaks are found, perform steps 7 - 10.
7. Start engine.
8. Set the heater A/C control as follows; F
a. A/C switch: ON
b. Mode control dial: VENT (Ventilation)
G
c. Intake position: Recirculation
d. Max. cold temperature
e. Fan speed: High H
9. Run engine at 1,500 rpm for at least 2 minutes.

Refrigerant leaks should be checked immediately after stopping the
engine. Begin with the leak detector at the compressor. The pres-
sure on the high-pressure side will gradually drop after refrigerant
circulation stops and pressure on the low-pressure side will gradually ATC
rise, as shown in the graph. Some leaks are more easily detected
when pressure is high.
