DTC P0533:00

A/C refrigerant pressure sensor circuit high

DETECTION CONDITION
•  A DTC is stored if the refrigerant pressure sensor output voltage is above the calibrated level.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
•  Connector or terminal malfunction
•  Short to power supply circuit between refrigerant pressure sensor terminal B and PCM terminal 1M
•  Open circuit between refrigerant pressure sensor terminal B and PCM terminal 1M
•  Refrigerant pressure sensor malfunction

Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1
VERIFY FREEZE FRAME DATA HAS BEEN RECORDED
•  Has FREEZE FRAME DATA been recorded?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Record FREEZE FRAME DATA on the repair order, then go to the next step.
2
VERIFY RELATED SERVICE INFORMATION AVAILABILITY
•  Verify related Service Information availability.
•  Is any related Service Information available?
Yes
Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available Service Information.
•  If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
3
INSPECT REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION
•  Turn the ignition switch off.
•  Disconnect the refrigerant pressure sensor connector.
•  Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/ pulled-out pins, corrosion).
•  Are there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair or replace suspected part, then go to Step 8.
No
Go to the next step.
4
INSPECT PCM CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION
•  Turn the ignition switch off.
•  Disconnect the PCM connector.
•  Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/ pulled-out pins, corrosion).
•  Are there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair or replace suspected part, then go to Step 8.
No
Go to the next step.
5
INSPECT REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY
•  Refrigerant pressure sensor and PCM connectors are disconnected.
•  Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (engine off).
•  Measure the voltage between refrigerant pressure sensor terminal B (wiring harness-side) and body ground.
•  Is the voltage B+?
Yes
Repair or replace suspected part, then go to Step 8.
No
Go to the next step.
6
INSPECT REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
•  Refrigerant pressure sensor and PCM connectors are disconnected.
•  Turn the ignition switch off.
•  Inspect for continuity between refrigerant pressure sensor terminal B (wiring harness-side) and PCM terminal 1M (wiring harness-side).
•  Is there continuity?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace suspected part, then go to Step 8.
7
INSPECT REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR
•  Inspect the refrigerant pressure sensor.
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Replace the refrigerant pressure sensor, then go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
8
VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING OF DTC P0533:00 HAS BEEN COMPLETED
•  Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors.
•  Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the M-MDS.
•  Start the engine and warm it up completely.
•  Turn the A/C switch and the fan switch on.
•  Retrieve DTCs using the M-MDS.
•  Is the PENDING CODE for this DTC present?
Yes
Repeat the inspection from Step 1.
•  If the malfunction recurs, replace the PCM.
Go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
9
VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE
•  Perform the “AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE”.
•  Are any DTCs present?
Yes
Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
No
Troubleshooting completed.
