Inspection

  1. Measure the high-pressure line pressure by checking the output voltage between terminals "1" and "2".
  2. Check the voltage to determine whether it is within specification.

    Vdd * (0.001758 * pressure (Psia) + 0.074126)

  3. If the measured voltage is not within specification, replace the A/C pressure transducer.

Diagnosis with GDS

  1. The heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system can be diagnosed quickly (defective parts) using the Global Diagnostic System (GDS). ※ The GDS provides the following information. (1) Self-diagnosis: checks and displays diagnostic trouble codes (DTC). (2) Current data: checks the status of input/output signals. (3) Active test: checks system operating conditions. (4) Additional functions: in addition to control, such as zero point adjustment.
  2. Select the "Vehicle Model" and the system to be checked in order to inspect the vehicle with the scan tool.
  3. Select the "Current Data" menu to check the current status of inputs/outputs. The inputs/outputs of the sensors related to the A/C pressure transducer can be checked.

REPLACEMENT

  1. Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal.
  2. Recover the refrigerant using a refrigerant recovery/recharge system.
  3. Disconnect the air conditioning pressure sensor connector (B).
  4. Remove the A/C pressure sensor (A).

    Tightening torque: 10 ~ 13 N·m

  5. To install, perform the removal procedure in reverse order.
