DTC P0532:00 [SKYACTIV-G 2.0]


id0102h1850200

DTC P0532:00

Refrigerant pressure sensor circuit low input

DETECTION CONDITION
•  The PCM monitors input voltage from the refrigerant pressure sensor when the ignition switch is ON. If the input voltage at the PCM terminal 2AX is below 0.1 V for 5 s, the PCM determines that the refrigerant pressure sensor circuit has a malfunction.
Diagnostic support note
•  This is a continuous monitor (other).
•  The MIL does not illuminate.
•  FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)/Snapshot data is not available.
•  The DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION
POSSIBLE CAUSE
•  Refrigerant pressure sensor connector or terminals malfunction
•  Short to ground in wiring harness between the following terminals:
―  Refrigerant pressure sensor terminal A—PCM terminal 2BB
―  Refrigerant pressure sensor terminal B—PCM terminal 2AX
•  PCM connector or terminals malfunction
•  Refrigerant pressure sensor signal circuit and ground circuit are shorted to each other
•  Open circuit in wiring harness between refrigerant pressure sensor terminal A and PCM terminal 2BB
•  Refrigerant pressure sensor malfunction
•  PCM malfunction

Diagnostic Procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1
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.
2
INSPECT REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR CONNECTOR CONDITION
•  Switch the ignition to off.
•  Disconnect the refrigerant pressure sensor connector.
•  Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion).
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair or replace the connector and/or terminals, then go to Step 8.
No
Go to the next step.
3
INSPECT REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND
•  Verify that the refrigerant pressure sensor connector is disconnected.
•  Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (wiring harness-side) and body ground:
―  Refrigerant pressure sensor terminal A
―  Refrigerant pressure sensor terminal B
•  Is there continuity?
Yes
If the short to ground circuit could be detected:
•  Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible short to ground.
If the short to ground circuit could not be detected:
•  Replace the PCM (short to ground in the PCM internal circuit).
Go to Step 8.
No
Go to the next step.
4
INSPECT PCM CONNECTOR CONDITION
•  Disconnect the PCM connector.
•  Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion).
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair or replace the connector and/or terminals, then go to Step 8.
No
Go to the next step.
5
INSPECT REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT AND GROUND CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO EACH OTHER
•  Verify that the refrigerant pressure sensor and PCM connectors are disconnected.
•  Inspect for continuity between refrigerant pressure sensor terminals B and C (wiring harness-side).
•  Is there continuity?
Yes
Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible short to each other, then go to Step 8.
No
Go to the next step.
6
INSPECT REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
•  Verify that the refrigerant pressure sensor and PCM connectors are disconnected.
•  Inspect for continuity between refrigerant pressure sensor terminal A (wiring harness-side) and PCM terminal 2BB (wiring harness-side).
•  Is there continuity?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible open circuit, 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 DTC TROUBLESHOOTING COMPLETED
•  Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors.
•  Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the M-MDS.
•  Perform the KOEO or KOER self test.
•  Is the same 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
DTC troubleshooting completed.
