High Pressure Sensor (G65)







High Pressure Sensor (G65)

After the A/C compressor is switched off in this vehicle, it may take a relatively long time for the pressure on the high pressure side to decrease (the expansion valve(s) is/are cold, the pressure on the low pressure side increases quickly after deactivation, the expansion valve(s) closes/close and the refrigerant can only flow slowly to the low pressure side).

- Remove plenum chamber cover.

- Remove right section of plenum chamber front wall - A -.






Right section of plenum chamber front wall - A - is secured to vehicle by bolts - C - and - D -. A seal - E - is installed between plenum chamber front wall and vehicle body.

- Disconnect the connector - A -.






- Remove the high pressure sensor - B - (tightening specification: 5 Nm).

- Replace the O-ring - C -. Refer to => [ Refrigerant Circuit O-Rings ] Refrigerant Circuit O-Rings and to the Electronic Parts Catalog.

Cooling performance cannot be checked with high pressure sensor removed, Climatronic Control Module (J255) does not switch on the compressor.

The refrigerant circuit remains closed, connection with valve.

Checking function of high pressure sensor and signal sent, refer to => [ High Pressure Sensor, Checking Pressure Signal ] High Pressure Sensor (G65), Checking Pressure Signal.

Coat O-ring seal - C - lightly with refrigerant oil before installing, refer to => [ Refrigerant Circuit O-Rings ] Refrigerant Circuit O-Rings.
