Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation

This signal is used by the PCM in order to control the cycling of the compressor. It will also enable the cooling fans when the A/C compressor head pressure reaches a predetermined value. DTC P0530 sets if a fault is present in the A/C refrigerant pressure sensor circuit. The PCM disables the A/C compressor clutch when the PCM sets an A/C system DTC.
