A/C Pressure Transducer

The A/C pressure transducer is used by the PCM to monitor the discharge pressure in the high-pressure side of the refrigerant system. When the A/C pressure transducer is reading a discharge pressure above acceptable levels, the PCM will disengage the A/C compressor clutch.

The A/C pressure transducer is installed on a Schrader-type valve core fitting on the compressor-to-condenser discharge line. It is not necessary to recover the refrigerant before removing the A/C pressure transducer.
