Instructions) provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

DTC Descriptors

DTC P0532 00

- Air Conditioning (A/C) Refrigerant Pressure Sensor Circuit Low Voltage

DTC P0533 00

- Air Conditioning (A/C) Refrigerant Pressure Sensor Circuit High Voltage

Circuit/System Description

The engine control module (ECM) monitors the high side refrigerant pressure through the A/C refrigerant pressure sensor. The ECM supplies a 5 V

reference and a low reference to the sensor. Changes in the A/C refrigerant pressure cause the sensor signal to the ECM to vary. When the pressure

is high, the signal voltage is high. When the pressure is low, the signal voltage is low. When pressure is high, the ECM commands the cooling fans

on. When pressure is too high or too low, the ECM will not allow the activation of the A/C compressor.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Engine is running.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P0532 00

The ECM detects a short to ground or open at the A/C pressure sensor signal circuit.

P0533 00

The ECM detects a short to voltage at the A/C pressure sensor signal circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* The A/C compressor is disabled.

* The ECM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The condition for setting the DTC is no longer present.
