COMMPONENT LOCATION

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ECM(Engine Control Module) receives pressure signal in the A/C refrigerant high pressure side from the A/C refrigerant pressure sensor. This input indicates how much load the A/C compressor is putting on the engine and is one of the factors used by the ECM in order to determine the idle air control position for the idle speed. The circuits consist of a 5V reference and a ground, both provided by the ECM, and a signal from the sensor. The signal is a voltage which is proportional to the A/C pressure from 0 to 5V. Low pressure produces a low voltage signal and high pressure a high-voltage signal.

DTC DESCRIPTION

Checking output signals from A/C pressure sensor under detecting condition, if an signal above 4.65V lasts for more than 10 sec., PCM sets P0533.

DTC DETECTING CONDITION

Item	Detecting Condition	Possible cause
DTC Strategy	● Detects sensor signal short to high voltage	● Poor connection ● Short to battery in signal circuit ● Open in ground circuit ● Faulty A/C pressure sensor ● Faulty PCM
Enable Conditions	● Engine works
Thresh old value	● Sensor output voltage 〉4.65V
Diagnosis Time	● Continuous (More than 10 seconds failure for every 20 seconds test)
MIL On Condition	● DTC only (NO MIL ON)

SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM

MONITOR DTC STATUS

Check DTC Status

(1)

Connect scantool to Data Link Connector(DLC).

(2)

IG "ON".

(3)

Select "Diagnostic Trouble Codes(DTCs)" mode, and then Press F4(DTAL) to check DTC's information from the DTCs menu

(4)

Read "DTC Status" parameter.

(5)

Is parameter displayed "Present fault"?

▶ Go to "Terminal and connector inspection" procedure.

▶ Fault is intermittent caused by poor contact in the sensor’s and/or PCM’s connector or was repaired and PCM memory was not cleared. Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, ending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage. Repair or replace as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

TERMINAL AND CONNECTOR INSPECTION

Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness and terminals. Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical or chemical damage.

Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage.

Has a problem been found?

▶ Repair as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure

▶ Go to " Power Circuit Inspection " procedure.

POWER CIRCUIT INSPECTION

IG Key "OFF".

Disconnect the A/C pressure sensor connector.

IG Key "ON".

Measure the voltage between terminal 3 of A/C pressure sensor harness connector and chassis ground.

Specification : approx. 5V

Is the measured voltage within specification ?

▶ Go to "Ground circuit inspection" procedure.

▶ Repair Open in power circuit and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

GROUND CIRCUIT INSPECTION

IG Key "OFF".

Disconnect the A/C pressure sensor connector.

IG Key "ON".

Measure the voltage between terminal 3 of A/C pressure sensor harness connector and chassis ground. (Fig A)

COMPONENT INSPECTION

A/C pressure sensor inspection

(1)

IG Key "OFF" and connect the scantool.

(2)

Connect the probe to A/C pressure sensor signal and select the oscilloscope in the menu.

(3)

Check the waveform with acceleration and deceleration after engine start.

Specification :

Pressure(psi)		14.7	128.5	242.3	356.1	469.9
Voltage(V)		0.5	1.5	2.5	3.5	4.5

(4)

Is the measured waveform of A/C pressure sensor normal?

▶ Substitute with a known - good PCM and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace PCM and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

▶ Substitute with a known - good A/C pressure sensor and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace A/C pressure sensor and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

note

There is a memory reset function on scantool that can erase optional parts automatically detected and memorized by PCM. After testing PCM on the vehicle, use this function to reuse the PCM on the others

VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR

Connect scan tool and select "Diagnostic Trouble Codes(DTCs)" mode

Press F4(DTAL) and confirm that "DTC Readiness Flag" indicates "Complete". If not, drive the vehicle within conditions noted in the freeze frame data or enable conditions

Read "DTC Status" parameter

Is parameter displayed "History(Not Present) fault"?

▶ System performing to specification at this time. Clear the DTC.

▶ Go to the applicable troubleshooting procedure.
