Pinpoint Test A : P0532:00, P0533:00: Notes

Refer to MANUAL CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

The A/C pressure transducer receives a ground from the PCM. A 5-volt reference voltage is supplied to the A/C pressure transducer from the PCM. The A/C pressure transducer then sends a voltage to the PCM to indicate the A/C refrigerant pressure.

DTC Fault Trigger Conditions 

DTC Description Fault Trigger Conditions
P0532:00 A/C Refrigerant Pressure Sensor A Circuit Low: No Sub Type Information The A/C pressure transducer inputs a feedback voltage to the PCM. This DTC sets if the feedback voltage is less than 0.26 volt for at least 2 seconds and the ambient air temperature is greater than 0°C (32°F).
P0533:00 A/C Refrigerant Pressure Sensor A Circuit High: No Sub Type Information The A/C pressure transducer inputs a feedback voltage to the PCM. This DTC sets if the feedback voltage is greater than 4.95 volts for at least 2 seconds and the ambient air temperature is greater than 0°C (32°F).
