< PRECAUTION > [AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING]

PRECAUTION A
PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT B
PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000008929705

The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along C
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 SR and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING: D
• 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 by
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer. E
• Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
F
• 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 har-
ness connectors.
G
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
WARNING:
• When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni- H
tion 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), possibly causing
serious injury.
• When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always switch the Ignition OFF, disconnect the HAC
battery and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service.
Working with HFC-134a (R-134a) INFOID:0000000008929710
J
WARNING:
• CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant are not compatible. If the refrigerants
are mixed compressor failure is likely to occur. To determine the purity of HFC-134a (R-134a) in the K
vehicle and recovery tank, use Refrigerant Recovery/Recycling Recharging equipment and Refriger-
ant Identifier.
• Use only specified oil for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) components. If L
oil other than that specified is used, compressor failure is likely to occur.
• The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) oil 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 M
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 possible N
to minimize the entry of moisture into system.
- Only use the specified oil from a sealed container. Immediately reseal containers of oil. Without
proper sealing, oil will become moisture saturated and should not be used.
- Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and oil vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and throat. O
Remove HFC-134a (R-134a) from the A/C system using certified service equipment meeting require-
ments of SAE J2210 [HFC-134a (R-134a) recycling equipment] or J2209 [HFC-134a (R-134a) recycling
equipment]. If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service. P
Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and oil manufacturers.
- Do not allow A/C oil to come in contact with styrofoam parts or damage may result.
CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT
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.

Revision: October 2012 HAC-5 2013 Pathfinder NAM

 PRECAUTIONS
< PRECAUTION > [AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING]
• 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. Do not recover contaminated refrigerant into your existing service equipment. If your facility does
not 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.
Precautions For Refrigerant System Service INFOID:0000000008929708

WORKING WITH HFC-134a (R-134a)

CAUTION:
• CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant are not compatible. Compressor mal-
function is likely to occur if the refrigerants are mixed, refer to “CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT”
below. To determine the purity of HFC-134a (R-134a) in the vehicle and recovery tank, use Refriger-
ant recovery/recycling recharging equipment and Refrigerant Identifier.
• Use only specified oil for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) components.
Compressor malfunction is likely to occur if oil other than that specified is used.
• The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) oil rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The following
handling precautions must be observed:
- Cap (seal) the component immediately to minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere when
removing refrigerant components from a vehicle.
- Do not remove the caps (unseal) until just before connecting the components when installing refrig-
erant components to a vehicle. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as possible to
minimize the entry of moisture into system.
- Use only the specified oil from a sealed container. Reseal containers of oil immediately. Oil becomes
moisture saturated and should not be used without proper sealing.
- Do not allow oil to come in contact with styrene foam parts. Damage may result.
GENERAL REFRIGERANT PRECAUTION
WARNING:
• Do not breathe A/C refrigerant and oil vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and throat.
Remove HFC-134a (R-134a) from the A/C system, using certified service equipment meeting require-
ments of SAE J-2210 [HFC-134a (R-134a) recycling equipment] or J-2209 [HFC-134a (R-134a) recov-
ery equipment]. Ventilate work area before resuming service if accidental system discharge occurs.
Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and oil manufacturers.
• Do not release refrigerant into the air. Use approved recovery/recycling recharging equipment to
capture the refrigerant each 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 (126°F).
• Do not heat a refrigerant container with an open flame; Place the bottom of the container in a warm
pail of water if container warming is required.
• Do not intentionally drop, puncture or incinerate refrigerant containers.
• Do not refrigerant away from open flames; poisonous gas is produced if refrigerant burns.
• Refrigerant displaces oxygen; therefore be certain to work in well ventilated areas to prevent suffo-
cation.
• Do not pressure test or leakage 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
injury or property damage. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refriger-
ant manufacturers.

1. Front heating and cooling unit assembly 2. High-pressure and low-pressure pipe 3. Low-pressure service port
4. Low-pressure flexible hose 5. Compressor 6. High-pressure flexible hose
G
7. Condenser pipe assembly 8. Condenser 9. High-pressure service port
10. High-pressure pipe

A new type of refrigerant connection has been introduced to all refrigerant lines except the following locations: H
• Expansion valve to evaporator
• Refrigerant pressure sensor to liquid tank
WARNING: HAC
Check that 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:
J
Observe the following when replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components.
• Store it in the same way as it is when mounted on the vehicle when the compressor is removed. Fail-
ure to do so will cause oil to enter the low-pressure chamber.
• Always use a torque wrench and a back-up wrench when connecting tubes. K
• Immediately plug all openings to prevent entry of dust and moisture after disconnecting tubes.
• Connect the pipes at the final stage of the operation when installing an air conditioner in the vehicle.
Do not remove the seal caps of pipes and other components until just before required for connec- L
tion.
• 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.
• Remove moisture thoroughly from the refrigeration system before charging the refrigerant. M
• Always replace used O-rings.
• Apply oil to circle of the O-rings shown in illustration when connecting tube. Be careful not to apply
oil to threaded portion. N
• O-ring must be closely attached to the groove portion of tube.
• Be careful not to damage O-ring and tube when replacing the O-ring.
• Connect tube until a click can be heard. Then tighten the nut or bolt by hand. Check that the O-ring is
installed to tube correctly. O

Revision: October 2012 HAC-7 2013 Pathfinder NAM

 PRECAUTIONS
< PRECAUTION > [AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING]
• Perform leakage test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections after connecting line.
Disconnect that line and replace the O-ring when the refrigerant leaking point is found. Then tighten
connections of seal seat to the specified torque.

RHA861F

CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT
Take appropriate steps shown below if a refrigerant other than pure HFC-134a (R-134a) is identified in
a vehicle:
• Explain to the customer that environmental regulations prohibit the release of contaminated refrigerant into
the atmosphere.
• Explain that recovery of the contaminated refrigerant could damage service equipment and refrigerant sup-
ply.
• Suggest the customer return the vehicle to the location of previous service where the contamination may
have occurred.
• In case of repairing, recover the refrigerant using only dedicated equipment and containers. Do not
recover contaminated refrigerant into the existing service equipment. Contact a local refrigerant prod-
uct retailer for available service if the facility does not have dedicated recovery equipment. 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.
• The air conditioner warranty is void if the vehicle is within the warranty period. Please contact Nissan Cus-
tomer Affairs for further assistance.
COMPRESSOR
CAUTION:
• Plug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering.
• Store it in the same way as it is when mounted on the car when the compressor is removed.
• Follow “Maintenance of Oil Quantity in Compressor” exactly when replacing or repairing compres-
sor. Refer to HA-25, "Description".
• Keep friction surfaces between clutch and pulley clean. Wipe it off by using a clean waste cloth
moistened with thinner if the surface is contaminated with oil.
• Turn the compressor shaft by hand more than five turns in both directions after compressor service
operation. This distributes oil equally inside the compressor. Let the engine idle and operate the
compressor for one hour after the compressor is installed.
• Apply voltage to the new one and check for normal operation after replacing the compressor magnet
clutch.
LEAK DETECTION DYE
CAUTION:
• The A/C system contains a fluorescent leak detection dye used for locating refrigerant leakages. An
ultraviolet (UV) lamp is required to illuminate the dye when inspecting for leakages.
• Always wear fluorescence enhancing UV safety goggles to protect eyes and enhance the visibility of
the fluorescent dye.
• The fluorescent dye leak detector is not a replacement for an electrical 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 leakages.

Revision: October 2012 HAC-8 2013 Pathfinder NAM

 PRECAUTIONS
< PRECAUTION > [AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING]
• Read and follow all manufacture’s operating instructions and precautions prior to performing the
work for the purpose of safety and customer’s satisfaction. A
• A compressor shaft seal should not necessarily be repaired because of dye seepage. The compres-
sor shaft seal should only be repaired after confirming the leakage with an electrical leak detector
(SST: J-41995).
B
• Always remove any remaining dye from the leakage area after repairs are completed to avoid a mis-
diagnosis during a future service.
• Do not allow dye to come into contact with painted body panels or interior components. Clean imme-
diately with the approved dye cleaner if dye is spilled. Fluorescent dye left on a surface for an C
extended period of time cannot be removed.
• Do not spray the fluorescent dye cleaning agent on hot surfaces (engine exhaust manifold, etc.).
• Do not use more than one refrigerant dye bottle [1/4 ounce (7.4 cc)] per A/C system. D
• Leak detection dyes for HFC-134a (R-134a) and CFC-12 (R-12) A/C systems are different. Do not use
HFC-134a (R-134a) leak detection dye in CFC-12 (R-12) A/C system or CFC-12 (R-12) leak detection
dye in HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system or A/C system damage may result.
• The fluorescent properties of the dye remains for three or more years unless a compressor malfunc- E
tion occurs.
NOTE:
Identification F
• Vehicles with factory installed fluorescent dye have a green label.
• Vehicles without factory installed fluorescent dye have a blue label.

Component Description
The air mix door controls the mix of hot or cold air that enters the ventilation system. It is con-
trolled by the A/C auto amp. based on the position of the temperature dial. The air mix door mo-
tor receives position commands from the A/C auto amp. and reports actual door position back
via an LCU (Local Control Unit) installed inside the motor. Commands and responses are sent
across the LIN (Local Interconnect Network) to each motor simultaneously, with each motor
Air mix door motor (Driver side) having its own unique address, thereby only responding to requests sent to its specific address.
The LCU reads the door position from a Position Balanced Resistor (PBR), also part of the mo-
tor, and returns that information to the A/C auto amp. The LCU switches the polarity of the cir-
cuits connected to the DC motor to drive the motor forward or backward as requested by the
front air control. If the air mix door moves to a position less than 5% or more than 95% of its
expected or allowed positions, the A/C auto amp. will set a DTC.

expected or allowed positions, the A/C auto amp. will set a DTC.
The ambient sensor measures the temperature of the air surrounding the vehicle. The sensor
Ambient sensor uses a thermistor which is sensitive to the change in temperature. The electrical resistance of
the thermistor decreases as temperature increases.
AV control unit transmits A/C and AV switch assembly operation signal to A/C auto amp. via
AV control unit
CAN communication line.
BCM BCM transmits blower motor ON signal to the front and rear blower motor relays.
Display unit The display unit indicates operation status of the front and rear automatic air conditioning sys-
(except base audio system) tem.
The ECM sends a compressor ON request to the IPDM E/R based on the status of engine op-
eration and load as well as refrigerant pressure information. If all the conditions are met for A/
ECM C operation, the ECM transmits the compressor ON request to the IPDM E/R. The ECM shares
the refrigerant pressure sensor signal, engine RPM, and engine coolant temperature with the
A/C auto amp. via CAN communication line.
Front blower motor The front blower motor varies the speed at which the air flows through the ventilation system.
The front blower motor relay controls the flow of current to fuse 17 and 27 in the Fuse Block (J/
Front blower motor relay
B). The relay is connected directly to ground, and is controlled by the BCM.
Located in the passenger compartment, behind the left lower IP, the Fuse Block (J/B) contains
Fuse block (J/B)
the front blower motor relay and several fuses required for the air conditioner control system.
A/C relay is integrated in IPDM E/R. IPDM E/R operates A/C relay when A/C compressor re-
IPDM E/R
quest signal is received from ECM via CAN communication line.
The intake door motor controls the position of the intake door. Fresh air is allowed to enter the
cabin in one position, and recirculated inside air is allowed to enter in the other position. At times
the A/C auto amp. may command partial fresh or recirculation based on evaporator or coolant
temperatures. The intake door motor receives position commands from the front air control and
reports actual door position back via an LCU (Local Control Unit) installed inside the motor.
Commands and responses are sent across the LIN (Local Interconnect Network) to each motor
Intake door motor simultaneously, with each motor having its own unique address, thereby only responding to re-
quests sent to its specific address. The LCU reads the door position from a Position Balanced
Resistor (PBR), also part of the motor, and returns that information to the front air control. The
LCU switches the polarity of the circuits connected to the DC motor to drive the motor forward
or backward as requested by the front air control. If the recirculation door moves to a position
less than 5% or more than 95% of its expected or allowed positions, the front air control will set
a DTC.
Intake sensor measures temperature of front evaporator fin temperature. The sensor uses a
Intake sensor thermistor which is sensitive to the change in temperature. The electrical resistance of the ther-
mistor decreases as temperature increases.

In-vehicle sensor measures temperature of intake air that flows through aspirator to passenger
In-vehicle sensor room. The sensor uses a thermistor which is sensitive to the change in temperature. The elec-
trical resistance of the thermistor decreases as temperature increases.
The mode door (front) controls the direction the conditioned air passes through the ventilation B
system. Through a series of levers and gears, the mode door controls the defrost door, the foot
door, and the vent door. There are 5 preset positions: VENT, B/L, FOOT, D/F and DEF. The
FOOT position can be set to allow some airflow through to the defroster vent or to completely
block the defroster vent using the CONSULT. The mode door motor receives position com-

Ambient sensor (setting temperature correction)
• A/C auto amp. controls passenger room temperature so that the optimum level always matches the temper-
ature level that passenger may feel. Correction is applied to the target temperature that is set using temper-
ature control dial, according to ambient temperature detected by ambient sensor.
Intake sensor (intake temperature correction)
• A/C auto amp. performs correction to change recognition intake temperature of A/C auto amp. quickly when
difference is large between recognition intake temperature and intake temperature detected by intake tem-
perature sensor. The correction is performed to change recognition intake temperature slowly when differ-
ence is small.
Sunload sensor (sunload amount correction)
• Sunload amount detected by sunload sensor is corrected for each rear automatic air conditioning control.
• A/C auto amp. performs correction to change recognition sunload amount of A/C auto amp. slowly when
sunload amount changes quickly, for example when entering or exiting a tunnel.
Operation by front controller (with base audio system)
- Front A/C control (A/C switch assembly) transmits the commands for rear automatic air conditioning system
operation to A/C auto amp. via communication line, the A/C auto amp. transmits each indication information
to A/C display unit via communication line. A/C display unit displays each indication information that is
received.
Operation by front controller (except base audio system)
- Front A/C control (A/C and AV switch assembly) transmits the commands for rear automatic air conditioning
system operation to AV control unit via communication line, then AV control unit transmits the commands to
A/C auto amp. via CAN communication. A/C auto amp. transmits each indication information to AV control
unit via CAN communication. AV control unit displays each indication information that is received.

REAR AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM : Air Flow Control INFOID:0000000008901683

DESCRIPTION
B
• A/C auto amp. changes duty ratio of rear blower motor drive signal and controls air flow continuously. When
air flow is increased, duty ratio of rear blower motor control signal gradually increases to prevent a sudden
increase in air flow.
• In addition to manual control and automatic control, air flow control is composed of starting fan speed con- C
trol, low coolant temperature starting control, high in-vehicle temperature starting control and fan speed con-
trol at door motor operation
AUTOMATIC AIR FLOW CONTROL D
• A/C auto amp. decides target air flow depending on target air mix door (rear) opening angle.
• A/C auto amp. changes duty ratio of rear blower motor control signal and controls the air flow continuously
so that air flow matches to target air flow. E
• When air outlet is VENT, the minimum air flow is changed depend-
ing on sunload.

H
JMIIA0738GB

STARTING AIR FLOW CONTROL

• When rear blower motor is activated, A/C auto amp. gradually HAC
increases duty ratio of rear blower motor control signal to prevent a
sudden increase in discharge air flow.
• It takes approximately 8 seconds for air flow to reach HI from LOW. J

JMIIA0739GB
L

LOW COOLANT TEMPERATURE STARTING CONTROL

If the engine coolant temperature is 56°C (133°F) or less, to prevent
M
a cold discharged air flow, A/C auto amp. suspends rear blower
motor activation for the maximum 150 seconds depending on target
air mix door (rear) opening angle. After this, rear blower motor con-
trol signal is increased gradually, and rear blower motor is activated. N

JMIIA0740GB
P
HIGH IN-VEHICLE TEMPERATURE STARTING CONTROL
When front evaporator fin temperature is high [intake sensor value is 35°C (95°F) or more], to prevent a hot
discharged air flow, A/C auto amp. suspends rear blower motor activation for approximately 3 seconds so that
rear evaporator is cooled by refrigerant.

reduces temporarily fan speed so that mode door (rear) moves smoothly.
REAR AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM : Air Outlet Control INFOID:0000000008901684

• While air outlet is in automatic control, A/C auto amp. selects the
mode door (rear) position depending on a target air mix door (rear)
angle and outlet air temperature calculated from sunload.

JMIIA0733GB

REAR AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM : Door Control INFOID:0000000008901685

DOOR MOTOR CONTROL

ALIIA0553GB

• LCU (Local Control Unit) is built in to each door motor, and detects door position by PBR (Potentio Balance
Resistor).
• A/C auto amp. communicates with each LCU via communication line and receives each door position feed
back signal from each LCU.
• Each LCU controls each door to the appropriate position depending on the control signal from A/C auto amp.

DTC/CIRCUIT DIAGNOSIS
U1000 CAN COMM CIRCUIT
Description INFOID:0000000008901727

CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication system for real time application. It is an on-vehicle
multiplex communication system with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability.
Many electronic control units are equipped onto vehicles, and each control unit shares information and links
with other control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are con-
nected with two communication lines (CAN-H line, CAN-L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission
with less wiring. Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only. Refer to
LAN-36, "CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM : CAN Communication Signal Chart".
