DTC P0533 00: Refrigerant Pressure Sensor Circuit High Input: Notes

DTC P0533 00 DETECTION CONDITIONS AND POSSIBLE CAUSES (SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5)

DTC P0533:00  Refrigerant pressure sensor circuit high input 
DETECTION CONDITION 
  • The PCM monitors input voltage from the refrigerant pressure sensor. If the input voltage at the PCM terminal 2AX is above 4.9 V  for 5 s  , the PCM determines that the refrigerant pressure sensor circuit has a malfunction.

Diagnostic support note 
  • This is a continuous monitor (other).
  • The check engine light does not illuminate.
  • FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2) is not available.
  • Snapshot data is available.
  • DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION  Not applicable
POSSIBLE CAUSE 
  • Refrigerant pressure sensor connector or terminals malfunction
  • PCM connector or terminals malfunction
  • Refrigerant pressure sensor malfunction
  • Short to power supply in wiring harness between refrigerant pressure sensor terminal B and PCM terminal 2AX
  • Open circuit in wiring harness between the following terminals:
    • Refrigerant pressure sensor terminal B-PCM terminal 2AX
    • Refrigerant pressure sensor terminal C-PCM terminal 2AJ
  • PCM malfunction
