Diagnostic Procedure

  1. CHECK REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR OVERALL FUNCTION 
    1. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
    2. Turn A/C switch and blower switch ON.
    3. Check voltage between ECM terminal 70 and ground with CONSULT-II or tester
      1. Voltage: 1.0-4.0V

    OK or NG 

    1. OK : INSPECTION END 
    2. NG : GO TO 2.
  2. CHECK GROUND CONNECTIONS 
    1. Turn A/C switch and blower switch OFF.
    2. Stop engine and turn ignition switch OFF.
    3. Loosen and retighten engine two screws on the body. Refer to "GROUND INSPECTION ".

    OK or NG 

    1. OK : GO TO  5.
    2. NG : GO TO 4.
  4. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART 

    Check the following.

    • Harness connectors E9, F47
    • Harness for open or short between ECM and refrigerant pressure sensor
      1. : Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
  5. CHECK REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
    3. Disconnect TCM harness connector (A/T models).
    4. Check harness continuity between refrigerant pressure sensor terminal 1 and ECM terminal 67, TCM terminal 42

      Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .

      1. Continuity should exist. 
    5. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.

    OK or NG 

    1. OK : GO TO  7.
    2. NG : GO TO 6.
  6. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART 

    Check the following.

    • Harness connectors E10, F48
    • Harness for open or short between ECM and refrigerant pressure sensor
    • Harness for open or short between TCM and refrigerant pressure sensor (A/T models)
      1. : Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
  7. CHECK REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR INPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT 
    1. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
    2. Check harness continuity between ECM terminal 70 and refrigerant pressure sensor terminal 2. Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM 
      1. Continuity should exist. 
    3. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.

    OK or NG 

    1. OK : GO TO  9.
    2. NG : GO TO 8.
  8. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART 

    Check the following.

    • Harness connectors E10, F48
    • Harness for open or short between ECM and refrigerant pressure sensor
      1. : Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
  9. CHECK INTERMITTENT INCIDENT 

    Refer to "TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR INTERMITTENT INCIDENT ".

    OK or NG 

    1. OK : Replace refrigerant pressure sensor.
    2. NG : Repair or replace.
