Inspection

  1. Measure the high-pressure line pressure by measuring the output voltage between terminals "1" and "2".
  2. Check whether the voltage value is within the normal range.

    Voltage = 0.00878835 * Pressure + 0.37081095

  3. If the measured voltage value does not meet the specification, replace the A/C pressure sensor.

Diagnosis Using GDS

  1. The heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system faults can be quickly diagnosed using the Global Diagnostic System (GDS). ※ The GDS provides the following information: (1) Self-diagnosis: Check and display of diagnostic trouble codes (DTC). (2) Current data: Check the input/output status of system data. (3) Active test: Check the operating status of the system. (4) Additional functions: Other controls such as system option and zero point adjustment.
  2. Select "Vehicle Model" and the system to be checked to inspect the vehicle with the tester.
  3. Select the "Current Data" menu to view the current input/output data status. The input/output data for sensors related to the A/C pressure sensor can be checked.

Replacement

  1. Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal.
  2. Recover the refrigerant using a recovery/recharging station.
  3. Disconnect the air conditioner pressure sensor connector (A).
  4. Remove the A/C pressure sensor (A).

    Tightening Torque: 9.8–11.8 N·m

  5. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
