PRECAUTIONS

PFP:00001

Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT A

BELT PRE-TENSIONER"

NJS000A2

The Supplemental Restraint System such as "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER", used along B

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. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS

system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.

C

Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of this Service Man-

ual.

WARNING:

D

q 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.

E

q 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.

F

q 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.

G

Precautions Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation After Battery Disconnect

NJS000CQ

NOTE:

H

q This Procedure is applied only to models with Intelligent Key system and NVIS/IVIS (NISSAN/INFINITI

VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM - NATS).

q

Remove and install all control units after disconnecting both battery cables with the ignition knob in the LOCK position.

I

q Always use CONSULT-II to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing

work. If DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according to self-diagnostic results.

ATC

For models equipped with the Intelligent Key system and NVIS/IVIS, an electrically controlled steering lock

mechanism is adopted on the key cylinder.

For this reason, if the battery is disconnected or if the battery is discharged, the steering wheel will lock and

steering wheel rotation will become impossible.

K

If steering wheel rotation is required when battery power is interrupted, follow the procedure below before

starting the repair operation.

OPERATION PROCEDURE

L

1. Connect both battery cables.

NOTE:

Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.

M

2. Use the Intelligent Key or mechanical key to turn the ignition switch to the ACC position. At this time, the steering lock will be released.

3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock will remain released and the steering wheel can be rotated.

4. Perform the necessary repair operation.
5. When the repair work is completed, return the ignition switch to the LOCK position before connecting the battery cables. (At this time, the steering lock mechanism will engage.)
6. Perform a self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT-II.

Precautions for Working with HFC-134a (R-134a)

NJS000A3

CAUTION: q CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant are not compatible. If the refrigerants
are mixed and compressor malfunction is likely to occur, refer to "CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT" below. To determine the purity of HFC-134a (R-134a) in the vehicle and recovery tank, use Refrigerant Recovery/Recycling Recharging equipment and Refrigerant Identifier.
q Use only specified lubricant for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) components. If lubricant other than that specified is used, compressor malfunction is likely to occur.
q The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) lubricant rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The following 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, never remove the caps (unseal) until just before connecting 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. Without proper sealing, lubricant will become moisture saturated and should not be used.
­ Never allow lubricant (Nissan A/C System Oil Type S) to come in contact with styrene foam parts. Damage may result.

CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT
If a refrigerant other than pure HFC-134a (R-134a) is identified in a vehicle, take appropriate steps shown below:
q Explain to the customer that environmental regulations prohibit the release of contaminated refrigerant into the atmosphere.
q Explain that recovery of the contaminated refrigerant could damage service equipment and refrigerant supply.
q Suggest the customer return the vehicle to the location of previous service where the contamination may have occurred.
q In case of repairing, recover the refrigerant using only dedicated equipment and containers. Never recover contaminated refrigerant into the existing service equipment. If the facility does not have dedicated recovery equipment, contact a local refrigerant product retailer for available service. 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.
q If the vehicle is within the warranty period, the air conditioner warranty is void. Please contact Nissan Customer Affairs for further assistance.

PRECAUTIONS

General Refrigerant Precautions

NJS000A4

WARNING:

A

q Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and

throat. Remove HFC-134a (R-134a) from the A/C system, using certified service equipment meet-

ing requirements of SAEJ-2210 [HFC-134a (R-134a) recycling equipment], or J-2209 [HFC-134a (R- B

134a) recovery equipment]. If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before

resuming service. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and

lubricant manufacturers.

C

q Never release refrigerant into the air. Use approved recovery/recycling equipment to capture the

refrigerant every time an air conditioning system is discharged.

q Always wear eye and hand protection (goggles and gloves) when working with any refrigerant or D air conditioning system.

q Never store or heat refrigerant containers above 52°C (126°F).

q Never heat a refrigerant container with an open flame; if container warming is required, place the E bottom of the container in a warm pail of water.

q Never intentionally drop, puncture, or incinerate refrigerant containers.

q Keep refrigerant away from open flames: poisonous gas will be produced if refrigerant burns.

F

q Refrigerant will displace oxygen, therefore be certain to work in well ventilated areas to prevent suffocation.

q Never pressure test or leak test HFC-134a (R-134a) service equipment and/or vehicle air condition- G

ing 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 injury

or property damage. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant manufacturers.

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 anchor piping connection point.
NOTE: When garter spring seats on flare, and fits in between male-side piping cage and female-side piping flare, it clicks.
CAUTION: q Female-side piping connection is thin and easy to deform. Slowly insert the male-side piping
straight in axial direction.
q Insert piping securely until a click is heard.

PRECAUTIONS
q After piping connection is completed, pull male-side piping by hand to make sure that connection does not come loose.
NOTE: One-touch joint connection is used in points below. q Low-pressure pipe 1 to low-pressure pipe 2 (O-ring size: 16) q High-pressure pipe 1 to high-pressure pipe 2 (O-ring size: 8) FEATURES OF NEW TYPE REFRIGERANT CONNECTION q The O-ring has been relocated. It has also been provided with a groove for proper installation. This eliminates the possibility 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 characteristics. q The reaction force of the O-ring will not occur in the direction that causes the joint to pull out, thereby facilitating piping connections.

PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: Make sure all refrigerant is discharged into the recycling equipment and the pressure in the system is less 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.
q When the compressor is removed, store it in the same way at it is when mounted on the car. Failure to do so will cause lubricant to enter the low-pressure chamber.
q When connecting tubes, always use a torque wrench and a back-up wrench.
q After disconnecting tubes, immediately plug all openings to prevent entry of dust and moisture.
q When installing an air conditioner in the vehicle, connect the pipes at the final stage of the operation. Never remove the seal caps of pipes and other components until just before required for connection.
q 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.
q Thoroughly remove moisture from the refrigeration system before charging the refrigerant.
q Always replace used O-rings.
q When connecting tubes, apply lubricant to circle of the O-rings shown in illustration. Be careful not to apply lubricant to threaded portion.

Name

: Nissan A/C System Oil Type S

q O-ring must be closely attached to the groove of tube.
q When replacing the O-ring, be careful not to damage O-ring and tube.
q Connect tube until a click can be heard, then tighten the nut or bolt by hand. Make sure that the Oring is installed to tube correctly.
q After connecting line, perform leak test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections. When the refrigerant leaking point is found, disconnect that line and replace the O-ring. Then tighten connections of seal seat to the specified torque.

PRECAUTIONS

Precautions for Servicing Compressor
q Plug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering.

NJS000A7
A

q When the compressor is removed, store it in the same way at it is when mounted on the car.

q When replacing or repairing compressor, follow "Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compres- B sor" exactly. Refer to ATC-22, "Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compressor" .

q 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

q 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. q After replacing the compressor magnet clutch, apply voltage to the new one and check for normal D

operation.

E

Be certain to follow the manufacturer's instructions for machine operation and machine maintenance. Never

introduce any refrigerant other than that specified into the machine.

F

ELECTRICAL LEAK DETECTOR

Be certain to follow the manufacturer's instructions for tester operation and tester maintenance.

VACUUM PUMP

G

The lubricant contained inside the vacuum pump is not compatible

with the specified lubricant for HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C systems. The vent side of the vacuum pump is exposed to atmospheric pres-

H

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 hoseto-pump connection, as follows.

q 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.

q 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.

q If the hose has an automatic shut-off valve, disconnect the hose

PRECAUTIONS
SERVICE HOSES Be certain that the service hoses display the markings described (colored hose with black stripe). All hoses must include positive shutoff devices (either manual or automatic) near the end of the hoses opposite to 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.

Shut-off valve rotation Clockwise
Counterclockwise

A/C service valve Open Close

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

RHA272D RHA273D

PRECAUTIONS

Precautions for Leak Detection Dye

NJS000A9

q The A/C system contains a fluorescent leak detection dye used for locating refrigerant leaks. An ultraviolet A

(UV) lamp is required to illuminate the dye when inspecting for leaks.

q Always wear fluorescence enhancing UV safety goggles to protect your eyes and enhance the visibility of

the fluorescent dye.

B

q The fluorescent dye leak detector is not a replacement for an electrical leak detector (SST: J-41995). The

fluorescent dye leak detector should be used in conjunction with an electrical leak detector (SST: J-41995)

to pin-point refrigerant leaks.

C

q For the purpose of safety and customer's satisfaction, read and follow all manufacture's operating instructions and precautions prior to performing the work.
q A compressor shaft seal should not necessarily be repaired because of dye seepage. The compressor D shaft seal should only be repaired after confirming the leak with an electrical leak detector (SST: J-41995).

q Always remove any remaining dye from the leak area after repairs are completed to avoid a misdiagnosis

during a future service.

E

q 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 time cannot be removed.

F

q Never spray the fluorescent dye cleaning agent on hot surfaces (engine exhaust manifold, etc.).

q Never use more than one refrigerant dye bottle (1/4 ounce /7.4 cc) per A/C system.

q Leak detection dyes for HFC-134a (R-134a) and CFC-12 (R-12) A/C systems are different. Never use G 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.

q The fluorescent properties of the dye will remain for three years or a little over unless a compressor mal- H function occurs.

IDENTIFICATION

NOTE:

REFRIGERATION SYSTEM

PFP:KA990

Refrigerant Cycle
REFRIGERANT FLOW

NJS000AE

The refrigerant flows from the compressor, through the condenser with liquid tank, through the evaporator, and back to the compressor. The refrigerant evaporation in the evaporator is controlled by an externally equalized expansion valve, located inside the evaporator case.

FREEZE PROTECTION
To prevent evaporator frozen up, the evaporator air temperature is monitored, and the voltage signal to the unified meter and A/C amp. will make the A/C relay go OFF and stop the compressor.

Refrigerant System Protection
REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR

NJS000AF

The refrigerant system is protected against excessively high- or low-pressure by the refrigerant pressure sensor, located on the condenser. If the system pressure rises above, or falls below the specifications, the refrigerant 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 detected by refrigerant pressure sensor is over about 2,746 kPa (28 kg/cm2 , 398 psi), or below about 134 kPa (1.4 kg/cm2 , 20 psi).

PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
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 (38 kg/cm2 , 540 psi)], the release port on the pressure relief valve automatically opens and releases refrigerant into the atmosphere.

The unified meter and A/C amp. receives data from each of the sensors. The unified meter and A/C amp. 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 motors and intake door motor read their respective signals according to the address signal. Opening angle indication signals received from the unified meter and A/C amp. and each of the motor position sensors is compared by the LCUs in each door motor with the existing decision and opening angles. Subsequently, HOT/COLD, DEF/VENT or FRE/REC operation is selected. The new selection data are returned to the unified meter and A/C amp.

TRANSMISSION DATA AND TRANSMISSION ORDER Unified meter and A/C amp. data are 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. Address: Data sent from the unified meter and A/C amp. are 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 have no error, door control begins. If an error exists, the received data are rejected and corrected data received. Finally, door control is based upon the corrected opening angle data. Opening Angle: Data that shows the indicated door opening angle of each door motor. Error Check: In this procedure, transmitted and received data are checked for errors. Error data are then compiled. The error check prevents corrupted data from being used by the air mix door motor, the mode door motor and the intake door motor. Error data can be related to the following symptoms. q Malfunction of electrical frequency q Poor electrical connections q Signal leakage from transmission lines q Signal level fluctuation

MAGNET CLUTCH CONTROL
SJIA0630E
When A/C switch, AUTO switch or DEF switch is pressed, unified meter and A/C amp. transmits compressor ON signal to BCM. BCM sends compressor ON signal to ECM, via CAN communication. ECM judges whether compressor can be turned ON, based on each sensor status (refrigerant-pressure sensor signal, throttle angle, etc.). If it judges compressor can be turned ON, it sends compressor ON signal to IPDM E/R, via CAN communication. Upon receipt of compressor ON signal from ECM, IPDM E/R turns air conditioner relay ON to operate compressor. When sending compressor ON signal to IPDM E/R via CAN communication, ECM simultaneously sends compressor feedback signal to unified meter and A/C amp. via CAN communication. Unified meter and A/C amp., then, uses input compressor feedback signal to control air inlet.

Self-diagnosis Function
DESCRIPTION

NJS000AW
A

The self-diagnosis system diagnoses sensors, door motors, blower motor, etc. by system line. Refer to appli-

cable sections (items) for details. Shifting from normal control to the self-diagnosis system is accomplished by

starting the engine (turning the ignition switch ON) and pressing OFF switch for at least 5 seconds. The OFF B

switch must be pressed within 10 seconds after starting the engine (ignition switch is turned ON). This system

will be canceled by either pressing AUTO switch or turning the ignition switch OFF. Shifting from one step is

accomplished by means of turning temperature control dial (driver side), as required. Shifting from STEP-5 to AUXILIARY MECHANISM is accomplished by means of turning

(fan) control dial

Automatic Mode

In the automatic mode, the blower motor speed is calculated by the unified meter and A/C amp. based on the

input from the PBR, in-vehicle sensor, sunload sensor, intake sensor and ambient sensor.

K

When the air flow is increased, the duty ratio of the blower fan motor's drive signal is changed at 8%/sec. to

prevent a sudden increase in air flow.

In addition to manual air flow control and the usual automatic air flow control, starting air flow control, low L water temperature starting control and high passenger compartment temperature starting control are avail-

able.

Starting Fan Speed Control

M

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), and then 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 AUTO switch is pressed. The blower speed will gradu-

ally rise to the objective speed over a time period of 3 seconds or less (actual time depends on the objective

blower speed).

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
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 speed is at duty ratio 25%. During high sunload conditions, the unified meter and A/C amp. raise the blower speed (duty ratio 49%).
Fan Speed Control Specification

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION Brush-less Motor The blower motor utilizes a brush-less motor with a rotating magnet. Quietness is improved over previous motors where the brush was the point of contact and the coil rotated.

D

AMBIENT TEMPERATURE INPUT PROCESS

RJIA3971E
E

The unified meter and A/C amp. 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 unified meter and A/C amp. function. It only allows the unified meter and A/C amp. to recognize an ambient temperature

F

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 G

heat from the engine compartment can radiate to the front grille area, location of the ambient sensor.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Sunload Sensor Circuit
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION Sunload Sensor The sunload sensor is located on the passenger's side instrument mask. 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 unified meter and A/C amp.

NJS000BD

D

SUNLOAD INPUT PROCESS

RJIA1806E
E

The unified meter and A/C 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.

F

For example, consider driving along a road bordered by an occasional group of large trees. The sunload

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 G

obstructing the sunlight does not cause any change in the 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.

Checking for Refrigerant Leaks

NJS000CB

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 electrical leak detector or fluorescent dye leak detector (SST: J-42220). If dye is observed, confirm the leak with an electrical 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 electrical 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 electrical leak detector probe slower and closer to the suspected leak area will improve the chances of finding a leak.

Checking System for Leaks Using the Fluorescent Leak Detector

NJS000CC

1. Check A/C system for leaks using the UV lamp and safety goggles (SST: 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 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 or cloth, 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 misdiagnosis.

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

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 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.

Dye Injection

NJS000CD

(This procedure is only necessary when recharging the system or when the compressor has seized and was replaced.)
1. Check A/C system static (at rest) pressure. Pressure must be at least 345 kPa (3.52 kg/cm2 , 50 psi).
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 valve.
4. Start the 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 (SST: J-41459) (refer to the manufacture's operating instructions).
6. With the engine still running, disconnect the injector tool from the service valve.
CAUTION: Be careful the A/C system or replacing a component, pour the dye directly into the open system connection 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 penetrate a leak and become visible.
8. Attach a blue label as necessary.

REFRIGERANT LINES Electrical Leak Detector
PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING LEAK DETECTOR When performing a refrigerant leak check, use an A/C electrical leak detector (SST) or equivalent. Ensure that the instrument is calibrated and set properly per the operating instructions. The leak detector is a delicate device. In order to use the leak detector properly, read the operating instructions and perform any specified maintenance.
1. Position probe approximately 5 mm (3/16 in) away from point to be checked.
2. When testing, circle each fitting completely with probe.
3. Move probe along component approximately 25 to 50 mm (1 to 2 in)/sec.

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. Stop the engine.
2. Connect a suitable A/C manifold gauge set (SST: J-39183) to the A/C service valves.
3. Check if the A/C refrigerant pressure is at least 345 kPa (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 (3.52 kg/cm2 , 50 psi).
4. Perform the leak test from the high-pressure side (compressor discharge a to evaporator inlet g) to the low-pressure side (evaporator drain hose h to shaft seal m). Refer to ATC-133, "Components" . Perform a leak check for the following areas carefully. Clean the component to be checked and move the leak detected probe completely around the connection/component. Compressor Check the fitting of high- and low-pressure flexible hoses, relief valve and shaft seal. Condenser Check the fitting of high-pressure flexible hose and pipe, refrigerant pressure sensor. Liquid tank Check the fitting of refrigerant connection. Service valves Check all around the service valves. Ensure service valve caps are secured on the service valves (to prevent leaks).
NOTE: After removing A/C manifold gauge set from service valves, wipe any residue from valves to prevent any false 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 the 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.
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. If no leaks are found, perform steps 7 - 10.
7. Start the engine.
8. Set the A/C control as follows;
a. A/C switch: ON
b. MODE door position: VENT (Ventilation)
c. Intake door position: Recirculation
d. Temperature setting: Max cold
e. Fan speed: High
9. Run engine at 1,500 rpm for at least 2 minutes.

10. Stop the engine and perform leak check again following steps 4

through 6 above.

A

Refrigerant leaks should be checked immediately after stopping

the engine. Begin with the leak detector at the compressor. The

pressure on the high-pressure side will gradually drop after refrigerant circulation stops and pressure on the low-pressure

B

side will gradually rise, as shown in the graph. Some leaks are

more easily detected when pressure is high.

11. Before connecting recovery/recycling recharging equipment to vehicle, check recovery/recycling recharg-

ing equipment gauges. No refrigerant pressure should be displayed. If pressure is displayed, recover

refrigerant from equipment lines and then check refrigerant purity.

E

12. Confirm refrigerant purity in supply tank using recovery/recycling recharging equipment and refrigerant

identifier.

13. Confirm refrigerant purity in vehicle A/C system using recovery/recycling recharging equipment and refrigerant identifier.

F

14. Discharge A/C system using approved refrigerant recovery equipment. Repair the leaking fitting or com-

ponent if necessary.

15. Evacuate and recharge A/C system and perform the leak test to confirm no refrigerant leaks.

G

16. Perform A/C performance test to ensure system works properly.
