A/C 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 cutout 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.
