Diagnosis Procedure

CHECK REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR OVERALL FUNCTION
1. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
2. Turn A/C switch and blower fan switch ON.
3. Check voltage between ECM terminal 41 and ground with CONSULT or tester.

  Voltage: 1.0 - 4.0 V
  
  OK or NG
  
  OK: INSPECTION END
  
  NG: GO TO 2.
CHECK GROUND CONNECTIONS
1. Turn A/C switch and blower fan switch OFF.
2. Stop engine and turn ignition switch OFF.
3. Loosen and retighten ground screw on the body.
  Refer to "GROUND INSPECTION ".

  Voltage: Approximately 5.0 V
  
  OK or NG
  
  OK: GO TO 5.
  
  NG: GO TO 4.
DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART
Check the following.
- Harness connectors E8, F8
- Harness for open or short between refrigerant pressure sensor and ECM
  : Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
CHECK REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
3. Check harness continuity between refrigerant pressure sensor terminal 1 and ECM terminal 48.
  Refer to Wiring Diagram .
  
  Continuity should exist.
4. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.
  OK or NG
  
  OK: GO TO 7.
  
  NG: GO TO 6.
DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART
Check the following.
- Harness connectors E8, F8
- Harness for open or short between refrigerant pressure sensor and ECM
  : Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
CHECK REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR INPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT
1. Check harness continuity between refrigerant pressure sensor terminal 2 and ECM terminal 41.
  Refer to Wiring Diagram .
  
  Continuity should exist.
2. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.
  OK or NG
  
  OK: GO TO 9.
  
  NG: GO TO 8.
DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART
Check the following.
- Harness connectors E8, F8
- Harness for open or short between refrigerant pressure sensor and ECM
  : Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
CHECK INTERMITTENT INCIDENT
Refer to TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR INTERMITTENT INCIDENT .

OK or NG

OK: Replace refrigerant pressure sensor. Refer to "REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR ".

NG: Repair or replace.
