Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Suzuki XL7. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the A/C Refrigerant Pressure harness connector at the A/C Refrigerant Pressure Sensor.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 1.0 Ω of resistance between the low reference circuit terminal and ground.
- If greater than 1.0 Ω, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8 - 5.2 volts between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal and ground.
- If less than 4.8 volts, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If greater than 5.2 volts, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Verify the scan tool A/C High Side Pressure Sensor parameter is less than 0.1 volts (1 psi).
- If greater than 0.1 volts (1 psi), test the signal circuit terminal for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Install a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the signal circuit and the 5-volt reference circuit terminal. Verify the scan tool A/C Refrigerant High Side Pressure Sensor is greater than 4.90 volts (425 psi).
- If less than 4.90 volts (425 psi), test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the A/C Refrigerant Pressure Sensor.
