Component Location

General Description

A/C pressure transducer consists of piezoelectric element and it detects aircon refrigerant pressure. Piezoeletric type is more advantageous to obtain linear data of pressure than existing switch type. Thus, optimum control of aircon compressor and fan is realized and improved fuel efficiency follows with it.

DTC Description

P0532 is set when the voltage below 180mV - minimum voltage of A/C pressure transducer signal - is detected for more than 0.6 sec.. This code is due to open in power circuit or short to ground in signal circuit of A/C pressure transducer.
