Pressure Sensor


The A/C system has a pressure sensor mounted on the compressor/condenser hose assembly near the condenser connection. The sensor performs both low and high pressure cut-out functions through an input to the PCM. No compressor mounted switches are used.

The sensor is mounted on a service fitting and can be replaced without discharging the A/C system.

Remove or Disconnect

1. Negative battery cable.
2. Electrical connection at the sensor.
3. Pressure sensor and discard the O-ring seal.
^ The sensor is mounted on a service fitting; do not discharge the system.

1. New O-ring seal lubricated in clean 525 viscosity refrigerant oil.
2. Pressure sensor.
3. Electrical connection at the sensor.
4. Negative battery cable.
