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 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 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).
