A/C Pressure Sensor
The
PCM uses the A/C pressure sensor to monitor the high pressure side of the A/C system. The PCM supplies the sensor with a
5 volt reference and a ground. The sensor returns a signal voltage relative to the A/C refrigerant pressures. The PCM uses this information to turn ON the engine coolant fans when the A/C pressure is too high. If the sensor indicates that the A/C refrigerant pressure is too high or too low, the PCM will disengage the A/C compressor. If the PCM detects an A/C pressure sensor signal above or below the possible range of the sensor, DTC P0532 or DTC P0533 will set.
