Manual DescriptionPrecautions for Working with HFC-134a (R-134a)4, circuit Diagram — Auto Air Conditioner30, wiring Diagram — A/C, A —31, how to Perform Trouble Diagnoses Quick.
Precautions for Working with HFC-134a (R-134a), circuit Diagram — Manual Air Conditioner173, wiring Diagram — A/C, M —174, supplemental Restraint System (SRS) AIR BAG”.
The Supplemental Restraint System AIR BAG”, used along with a seat belt, helps to reduce risk severity, of injury to the driver and front passenger in a frontal collision, of air bag modules (located in the center of the steering wheel and on the instrument panel on the passenger side), a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring harness and spiral cable, service the system safely is included in the RS section Service Manual.
¼ To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury death, ¼ Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal injury caused by unintentional activation system, harness connectors or for the complete harness, easy identification, vehicles with factory installed fluorescent dye have this identification label on underside hood.
Vehicles with factory installed fluorescent dye have green label, vehicles without factory installed fluorescent dye have blue label, ¼ refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant are not compatible, are mixed, compressor failure is likely to occur, refer to Contaminated Refrigerant”.
The purity of HFC-134a (R-134a) in the vehicle and recovery tank, use Refrigerant Recovery, recycling Recharging equipment (ACR4) (J-39500–NI) Refrigerant Identifier, ¼ Use only specified lubricant for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) components, ¼ The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) lubricant rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere.
A) When removing refrigerant components from a vehicle, immediately cap (seal) component, minimize the entry of moisture atmosphere, b) When installing refrigerant components to a vehicle, do not remove the caps (unseal) until just, c) Only use the specified lubricant from a sealed container.
D) Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist, requirements of SAE J2210 (R-134a recycling equipment), or J2209 (R-134a recovery equipment), if accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service, health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant lubricant manufacturers.
E) Do not allow lubricant (Nissan A/C System Oil Type S) to come in contact with styrofoam parts, if a refrigerant other than pure R-134a is identified in a vehicle, your options are, ¼ Explain to the customer that environmental regulations prohibit the release contaminated refrigerant into, ¼ Explain that recovery of the contaminated refrigerant could damage your service equipment refrigerant supply.
¼ Suggest the customer return the vehicle to the location of previous service where contamination may, does not have dedicated recovery equipment, you may contact a local refrigerant product retailer, in addition, replacement of all refrigerant system components on vehicle recommended, the A/C system contains a fluorescent leak detection dye used for locating refrigerant leaks.
Always wear fluorescence enhancing UV safety glasses to protect your eyes and enhance visibility, a compressor shaft seal should not be repaired because of dye seepage, should only be repaired after confirming the leak with an electronic refrigerant leak detector (J-41995), always remove any dye from the leak area after repairs are complete to avoid misdiagnosis during.
Clean immediately with the approved dye cleaner, 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, leak detection dyes for R-134a and R-12 A/C systems are different.
Dye in A/C systems or R-12 leak detection dye in R-134a A/C systems or A/C system damage may, the fluorescent properties of the dye will remain for over three (3) years unless compressor failure, ¼ Do not release refrigerant into the air, refrigerant every time an air conditioning system discharged.
¼ Always wear eye and hand protection (goggles and gloves) when working with any refrigerant, bottom of the container in a warm pail water, ¼ Do not intentionally drop, puncture, incinerate refrigerant containers.
