SERVICE INFORMATION

2017 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 554

IMPORTANT:

When servicing a Nissan vehicle equipped with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) make sure to use the appropriate Nissan CVT Fluid

specified in the Electronic Service Manual (ESM), Owners Manual or Service and Maintenance Guide. Using fluid other than that specified may

damage the CVT and is not covered by warranty.

^ NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-2 ("green fluid") - applies to all Nissan vehicles equipped with CVT except MY13 Altima. Use NS-2 green fluid to

service these vehicles.

^ New, unused service replacement CVTs may have some residual "blue" NS-3 fluid. However, these service replacement CVTs should be

filled with NS-2 green fluid. No draining is necessary.

^ NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-3 ("blue fluid") - applies to the 2013 Altima. Use NS-3 blue fluid to service these vehicles.

^ Use of any other type of fluid, including NS-2 green fluid, in the 2013 Altima vehicle may result in reduced fuel economy and/or affect

drivability.

Please refer to the table above, the ESM, Owners Manual or Service and Maintenance Guide.

A/C IS NOT COOLING / POOR PERFORMANCE

APPLIED VEHICLES: 2007 - 2012 Altima Sedan and Coupe (L32 / CL32)

2009 - 2012 Maxima (A35)

IF YOU CONFIRM

The A/C system is not cooling the cabin to factory specification,

and

The A/C compressor clutch is engaged,

and

2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 85

The A/C system is fully charged,

and

The HVAC system doors and controls are working correctly.

ACTIONS

1. Check the A/C system pressures:

^ If the A/C system pressures are HIGH side low and LOW side low, go to step 2.

^ If the A/C pressures are any other then above, this bulletin does not apply. Refer to ASIST and the Service Manual for further diagnostic

information.

2. By feel, or with an infrared thermometer; check the temperature of the condenser / receiver dryer outlet tube.

^ Tube is Warm or Hot: This bulletin does not apply. Refer to ASIST and the Service Manual for further diagnostic information.

^ Tube is Cool or Cold: Replace the condenser and receiver dryer assembly.

SERVICE PROCEDURE:

1. Check the A/C system pressures:

^ Refer to the appropriate Service Manual for system pressure specifications.

^ If the A/C system pressures are: HIGH side = low and LOW side = low, go to step 2 below.

^ If the A/C pressures are any other then above, this bulletin does not apply. Refer to ASIST and the Service Manual for further diagnostic

information.

2. By feel, or with an infrared thermometer; check the temperature of the receiver dryer outlet tube.

^ Tube is Warm or Hot: This bulletin does not apply. Refer to ASIST and the Service Manual for further diagnostic information.

^ Tube is Cool or Cold: Replace the condenser and receiver dryer assembly.

Refer to the appropriate Service Manual for replacement information. Follow all Service Manual warnings and cautions as applicable.

NOTE:

^ Cool or Cold receiver dryer outlet tube indicates a blockage in the receiver dryer or condenser.

^ If desired, the filter can be removed from the receiver dryer to confirm the root cause of the issue was blockage (debris) in the receiver

dryer.

^ Figure 2 shows an example of a receiver dryer filter that is bowed and plugged with debris.
