Pinpoint Test A : P0532, P0533: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Lincoln Navigator. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Automatic 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 pressure.
DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
| DTC | Description | Fault Trigger Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| P0532 | A/C Refrigerant Pressure Sensor "A" Circuit Low | 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 | A/C Refrigerant Pressure Sensor "A" Circuit High | 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). |
