On-vehicle Inspection ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT NO. 1 PRESSURE SWITCH

(a) Connect a manifold gauge set.

(b) Connect the positive (+) lead from the ohmmeter to terminal 1 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 2.

(c) Measure the resistance between terminals when refrigerant pressure is charged, as shown in the illustration.

If operation is not as specified, replace the pressure switch.
