P0533

P0533-A/C PRESSURE SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH



- When Monitored:
With the ignition on and battery voltage greater than 10.4 volts.

- Set Condition:
The PCM detects that the A/C Pressure Transducer input voltage is above the maximum acceptable value.





Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting Procedure.

1. DTC IS ACTIVE
1. Start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature.

WARNING: When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

NOTE: Diagnose and repair any system voltage or sensor supply voltage DTCs before continuing with this test.

2. With the scan tool, select View DTCs.

Is the status Active for this DTC?

Yes

- Go To 2

No

- Perform the CHECKING FOR AN INTERMITTENT DTC Diagnostic Procedure. Intermittent Condition Test.

2. (C818) A/C PRESSURE SENSOR SUPPLY CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the A/C Pressure Transducer connector.
3. Disconnect the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) harness connector.
4. Turn the ignition on.
5. Measure the voltage of the (C818) A/C Pressure Sensor Supply circuit in the A/C Pressure Transducer harness connector.

Is there any voltage present?

Yes

- Repair the (C818) A/C Pressure Sensor Supply circuit for a short to voltage.
- Perform the Body Verification Test. Body Verification Test.

No

- Go To 3

3. (C18) A/C PRESSURE TRANSDUCER SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE
1. Measure the voltage of the (C18) A/C Pressure Transducer Signal circuit in the A/C Pressure Transducer harness connector.

Is there any voltage present?

Yes

- Repair the (C18) A/C Pressure Transducer Signal circuit for a short to voltage.
- Perform the Body Verification Test. Body Verification Test.

No

- Go To 4

4. (C18) A/C PRESSURE TRANSDUCER SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (C818) A/C PRESSURE SENSOR SUPPLY CIRCUIT
1. Measure the resistance between the (C18) A/C Pressure Transducer Signal circuit and the (C818) A/C Pressure Sensor Supply in the A/C Pressure Transducer harness connector.

Is the resistance below 100 ohms?

Yes

- Repair the (C18) A/C Pressure Transducer Signal circuit for a short to the (C818) A/C Pressure Sensor Supply circuit.
- Perform the Body Verification Test. Body Verification Test.

No

- Go To 5

5. (C18) A/C PRESSURE TRANSDUCER SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Measure the resistance of the (C18) A/C Pressure Transducer Signal between the A/C Pressure Transducer harness connector and the TIPM harness connector.

Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes

- Go To 6

No

- Repair the (C18) A/C Pressure Transducer Signal for an open circuit or high resistance.
- Perform the Body Verification Test. Body Verification Test.

6. (C918) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE
1. Measure the resistance of the (C918) Sensor Ground circuit between the A/C Pressure Transducer harness connector and the TIPM harness connector.

Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes

- Go To 7

No

- Repair the (C918) Sensor Ground circuit for an open circuit or high resistance.
- Perform the Body Verification Test. Body Verification Test.

7. A/C PRESSURE TRANSDUCER
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Connect the TIPM harness connector.
3. Connect a jumper wire between the (C918) Sensor Ground circuit and the (C18) A/C Pressure Transducer Signal circuit in the A/C Pressure Transducer harness connector.
4. Turn the ignition on.
5. With the scan tool, read the A/C Pressure Transducer signal voltage.

NOTE: The sensor voltage should be approximately 0.0 volts (plus or minus.1 volt) with the jumper wire in place.

Does the scan tool display the voltage as described above?

Yes

- Replace the A/C Pressure Transducer.
- Perform the Body Verification Test. Body Verification Test.

No

- Go To 8

8. TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM)
1. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the A/C Pressure Transducer and the Totally Integrated Power (TIPM).
2. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
3. Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
4. Monitor the scan tool data relative to this circuit and wiggle test the wiring and connectors.
5. Look for the data to change or for the DTC to reset during the wiggle test.
6. Search for any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.

Were any problems found?

Yes

- Repair as necessary.
- Perform the Body Verification Test. Body Verification Test.

No

- Replace and program the Totally Integrated Power (TIPM).
- Perform the Body Verification Test. Body Verification Test.
