 AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONER SYSTEM
< FUNCTION DIAGNOSIS > [AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONER]
A configuration of these components is shown in the figure below.

JPIIA0233GB

SYSTEM CONSTRUCTION
A small network is constructed between the auto amp., mode door motor, air mix door motors and intake door
motor. The auto amp. 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 amp. and each door motor.
The following functions are contained in LCUs built into the mode door motor, the air mix door motors and the
intake door motor.
• Address
• Motor opening angle signals
• Data transmission
• Motor stop and drive decision
• Opening angle sensor (PBR function)
• Comparison
• Decision (Auto amp. indicated value and motor opening angle comparison)

JPIIA0061GB

Operation
The auto amp. receives data from each of the sensors. The auto amp. sends mode door, air mix door and
intake door opening angle data to the mode door motor LCU, air mix door motor LCUs 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 auto amp. and each of the motor position
sensors is compared by the LCUs in each door motor with the existing decision and opening angles. Subse-
quently, HOT/COLD, DEF/VENT and FRE/REC operation is selected. The new selection data is returned to
the auto amp.

JPIIA0062GB

Transmission Data and Transmission Order

Auto amp. data is transmitted consecutively to each of the doors motor following the form shown in the figure
below.

Revision: September 2009 HAC-12 2010 Altima HEV

 AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONER SYSTEM
< FUNCTION DIAGNOSIS > [AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONER]
START:
• Initial compulsory signal is sent to each of the door motors. A
ADDRESS:
• Data sent from the auto amp. are selected according to data-based decisions made by the mode door motor,
air mix door motors and intake door motor. B
• 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 C
upon the corrected opening angle data.
OPENING ANGLE: D
• Data that shows the indicated door opening angle of each door motor.
ERROR CHECK:
• In this procedure, transmitted and received data is checked for errors. Error data are then compiled. The E
error check prevents corrupted data from being used by the mode door motor, the air mix door motors and
the intake door motor. Error data can be related to the following symptoms.
- Malfunction of electrical frequency
- Poor electrical connections F
- Signal leakage from transmission lines
- Signal level fluctuation
G
STOP SIGNAL:
• At the end of each transmission, a stop operation, in-operation, or internal malfunction message is delivered
to the auto amp. This completes one data transmission and control cycle.

JSIIA0249GB M

AIR MIX DOOR CONTROL (AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL)

The air mix doors are 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. N

BLOWER SPEED CONTROL

Blower speed is automatically controlled by the temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle tempera- O
ture, intake temperature, amount of sunload and air mix door position.
With pressing AUTO switch, 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. P
INTAKE DOOR CONTROL
The intake door is automatically controlled by the temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle tem-
perature, intake temperature, amount of sunload, temperature of high voltage battery and ON/OFF operation
of the compressor.
MODE DOOR CONTROL

Revision: September 2009 HAC-13 2010 Altima HEV

 AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONER SYSTEM
< FUNCTION DIAGNOSIS > [AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONER]
The mode door is automatically controlled by the temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle temper-
ature, intake temperature and amount of sunload.
ELECTRIC COMPRESSOR CONTROL
When A/C switch, AUTO switch, DEF switch is pressed or when shifting mode position D/F, auto amp. trans-
mits compressor control signal to HV ECU.
HV ECU turns ON to the electric compressor.
HV ECU sends compressor feedback signal to auto amp., then, uses input compressor feedback signal to
control air inlet.

JSIIA0308GB

COMPRESSOR SPEED CONTROL

• The auto amp. calculates the target compressor speed based on the target evaporator temperature (calcu-
lated from the intake sensor, ambient sensor, and sunload sensor) and the actual evaporator temperature
detected by the intake sensor. Then, the auto amp. transmits the target speed to the HV ECU. The HV ECU
controls the electric compressor (inverter) based on the target speed data in order to control the compressor
to a speed that suits the operating condition of the air conditioning system.
• The auto amp. calculates the target evaporator temperature, which includes corrections based on the in-
vehicle sensor, ambient sensor, sunload sensor, and intake sensor. Accordingly, the auto amp. controls the
compressor speed to an extent that does not inhibit the proper cooling performance or defogging perfor-
mance. As a result, comfort and low fuel consumption can be realized.

CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
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. For details, refer to LAN-28,

Automatic Mode
In the automatic mode, the blower motor speed is calculated by the auto amp. based on the input from the O
PBR, in-vehicle sensor, sunload sensor, intake sensor and ambient sensor.
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 P
water temperature starting control and high passenger compartment temperature starting control are avail-
able.
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.
Revision: September 2009 HAC-31 2010 Altima HEV
 BLOWER MOTOR CONTROL SYSTEM
< FUNCTION DIAGNOSIS > [AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONER]
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).
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 of 25%. During high sunload conditions, the auto amp. will raise the blower speed (duty
ratio of 41%).

Description INFOID:0000000005440227

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Ambient Sensor
The ambient sensor (1) is attached on the radiator core support (left

tance value which is then input into the auto amp.

JPIIA0041ZZ

Ambient Sensor Circuit

JPIIA0057GB

AMBIENT TEMPERATURE INPUT PROCESS

The auto 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 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 bumper area, location of the ambient sensor.

< COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS > [AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONER]
B2630, B2631 SUNLOAD SENSOR
Description INFOID:0000000005440235

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Sunload Sensor
The sunload sensor (1) is located on the driver’s side front defroster
grille. 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 auto amp.

JPIIA0047ZZ

Sunload Sensor Circuit

JPIIA0048GB

SUNLOAD INPUT PROCESS

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 HAC 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
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 HAC 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.

P0AA6-611 ELECTRIC COMPRESSOR
Description INFOID:0000000005440272

The DTC is output if there is insulation trouble with the high-voltage circuits in the air conditioning system.
Possible causes are poor insulation in the compressor with motor assembly, or mixing of any oil other than
ND-OIL 11 in the refrigerant cycle. The motor driven with high-voltage is built into the electrical compressor
and is cooled directly with refrigerant. Compressor oil (ND-OIL 11) with high insulation performance is used
because a leakage of electrical power may occur if regular compressor oil (DH-PS or DH-PR) is used.
CAUTION:
• Electrical insulation performance may decrease significantly if even a small amount of oil other than
ND-OIL 11 is used (or enters) in the refrigerant cycle, causing the DTC to be output.
• If other oil is accidentally used and a DTC is output, collect the oil in the refrigerant cycle into the
compressor and replace it with ND-OIL 11 to increase the ND-OIL 11 ratio amount.
• Replace the main components (evaporator, condenser, and compressor) if a large amount of oil
other than ND-OIL 11 enters the system. Failing to do so may cause electrical insulation perfor-
mance to remain low, causing the DTC to be output.
• Wear insulated gloves and pull out the service plug grip before inspection as procedures may
require disconnecting high-voltage connectors.
• Be sure to carry the removed service plug grip because other workers may install it by mistake.
• Do not touch the high-voltage connectors or terminals for 10 minutes after the service plug grip is
removed.

Electric Compressor
• The Air Conditioning (A/C) inverter is integrated with the compres-
sor. C

1. Discharge port
2. Suction port D
• The electric motor is actuated by 3-phase alternating current sup-
plied by the A/C inverter. As a result, the air conditioning control
system is actuated without depending on the operation of the E
engine, thus realizing a comfortable air conditioning system and
low fuel consumption.
• Due to the use of an electric compressor, the compressor speed JPIIA0053ZZ
F
can be controlled at the required speed calculated by the auto
amp. Thus, the cooling and dehumidification performance and power consumption have been optimized.
• Low-moisture permeation hoses are used for the suction and discharge hoses at the compressor in order to
minimize the entry of moisture into the refrigeration cycle. G

4. Oil separator 5. Motor shaft 6. A/C inverter

• The electric compressor consists of a spirally wound fixed scroll and orbiting scroll that form a pair, a brush- N
less motor, an oil separator, a motor shaft and A/C inverter.
• The fixed scroll is integrated with the housing. Because the rotation of the shaft causes the orbiting scroll to
revolve while maintaining the same posture, the volume of the space that is partitioned by both scrolls varies
O
to perform the suction, compression, and the discharge of the refrigerant gas.
• Locating the suction port directly above the scrolls enables direct suction, thus realizing improved suction
efficiency.
• Containing a built-in oil separator, this compressor is able to separate the compressor oil that is intermixed P
with the refrigerant and circulates in the refrigeration cycle, thus realizing a reduction in the oil circulation
rate.
• This inverter converts the HV battery’s nominal voltage of DC 244.8 V into AC and supplies power to operate
the compressor.

Operation

JPIIA0055GB

1. Orbiting scroll 2. Fixed scroll 3. Suction port

4. Discharge port

Suction
As the capacity of the compression chamber, which is created between the orbiting scroll and the fixed scroll,
increases in accordance with the revolution of the orbiting scroll, refrigerant gas is drawn in from the intake
port.
Compression
From the state at which the suction process has been completed, as the revolution of the orbiting scroll
advances further, the capacity of the compression chamber decreases gradually. Consequently, the refrigerant
gas that has been drawn in becomes compressed gradually and is sent to the center of the fixed scroll. The
compression of the refrigerant gas is completed when the orbiting scroll completes approximately 2 revolu-
tions.
Discharge
When the compression of the refrigerant gas is completed and the refrigerant pressure becomes high, the
refrigerant gas discharges through the discharge port located in the center of the fixed scroll by pushing the
discharge valve.

PRECAUTION
PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000005796925

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. 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.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SR and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in
the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
• 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.
• 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.
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-
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
battery, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service.
Precautions For High-Voltage System INFOID:0000000005440316

Precaution for Working with HFC-134a (R-134a) INFOID:0000000005440318

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. Refer to HA-19, "Checking of Refrigerant Leaks". To
determine the purity of HFC-134a (R-134a) in the vehicle and recovery tank, use Refrigerant Recov-
ery/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. If
oil other than that specified is used, compressor failure is likely to occur.
Revision: September 2009 HAC-156 2010 Altima HEV
 PRECAUTIONS
< PRECAUTION > [AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONER]
• The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) oil rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The following
handling precautions must be observed: A
- 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
B
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 oil from a sealed container. Immediately reseal containers of oil. Without
proper sealing, oil will become moisture saturated and should not be used. C
- Avoid breathing 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 J2210 [HFC-134a (R-134a) recycling equipment], or J2209 [HFC-134a (R-134a) recy- D
cling equipment], If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming
service. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and oil manufac-
turers.
- Do not allow A/C oil to come in contact with styrofoam parts. Damage may result. E

Contaminated Refrigerant INFOID:0000000005440319

If a refrigerant other than pure HFC-134a (R-134a) is identified in a vehicle, your options are: F
• 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 your service equipment and refrigerant G
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- H
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, HAC
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.
J
General Refrigerant Precaution INFOID:0000000005440320

WARNING: K
• 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
L
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. M
• 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 suf- N
focation.
• Do not pressure test or leak test HFC-134a (R-134a) service equipment and/or vehicle air condition-
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 O
property damage. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant manu-
facturers.
Precaution for Leak Detection Dye INFOID:0000000005440321
P

• The A/C system does not contain a fluorescent leak detection dye.
• Do not use fluorescent leak detection dye in the A/C system.

A new type refrigerant connection has been introduced to all refrigerant lines except the following locations.
• Expansion valve to cooling unit
• Evaporator pipes to evaporator (inside cooling unit)
• Refrigerant pressure sensor
FEATURES OF NEW TYPE REFRIGERANT CONNECTION
• The O-ring has been relocated. It has also been provided with a groove for proper installation. This elimi-
nates the chance of the O-ring being caught in, or damaged by, the mating part. The sealing direction of the
O-ring is now set vertically in relation to the contacting surface of the mating part to improve sealing charac-
teristics.
• The reaction force of the O-ring will not occur in the direction that causes the joint to pull out, thereby facili-
tating piping connections.

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.
• When the electric compressor is removed, store it in the same position as it is when mounted on the
car. Failure to do so will cause electric compressor oil 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 con-
nection.
• 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 the specified electric compressor oil to circle of the O-rings. Be careful
not to apply electric compressor oil 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.

VACUUM PUMP

Revision: September 2009 HAC-161 2010 Altima HEV

 PRECAUTIONS
< PRECAUTION > [AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONER]
The oil contained inside the vacuum pump is not compatible with the
specified oil for HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C systems. The vent side of
the vacuum pump is exposed to atmospheric pressure so the vac-
uum pump oil may migrate out of the pump into the service hose.
This is possible when the pump is switched off after evacuation (vac-
uuming) and hose is connected to it.
To prevent this migration, use a manual valve situated near the
hose-to-pump connection, as follows.
• Usually vacuum pumps have a manual isolator valve as part of the
pump. Close this valve to isolate the service hose from the pump.
• For pumps without an isolator, use a hose equipped with a manual
shut-off valve near the pump end. Close the valve to isolate 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 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
ability to pull a deep vacuum and are not recommended.

MANIFOLD GAUGE SET

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

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.

SERVICE COUPLERS

Revision: September 2009 HAC-162 2010 Altima HEV

 PRECAUTIONS
< PRECAUTION > [AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONER]
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 A
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 HFC134a (R-134a) and specified
oils have been used with the scale. If the scale controls refrigerant
flow electronically, the hose fitting must be 1/2”-16 ACME. E

CHARGING CYLINDER H
Using a charging cylinder is not recommended. Refrigerant may be vented into air from cylinder's top valve
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. HAC
