Pinpoint Test A : DTC P0532, P0533: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Lincoln MKT. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Diagnostic Overview
Refer to 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 refrigerant pressure.
DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
| DTC | Description | Fault Trigger Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| P0532 | A/C Refrigerant Pressure Sensor A Circuit Low: No Sub Type Information | The A/C pressure transducer inputs a feedback voltage to the PCM. This DTC sets if the feedback voltage is less than 0.26 volts 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: No Sub Type Information | The A/C pressure transducer inputs a feedback voltage to the PCM. 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). |

- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- A/C pressure transducer
- PCM
Visual Inspection and Diagnostic Pre-checks
- Inspect loose or corroded PCM and A/C pressure transducer connections.
