Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Testing and Inspection
A/C Refrigerant (Triple) Pressure Switch InspectionA/C Control Pressure Switch
1. Run engine and A/C switch ON.
2. Check continuity between "a" and "b" terminals of A/C refrigerant pressure switch in normal A/C condition.
If no continuity, replace A/C refrigerant pressure switch.
A/C Condenser Cooling Fan Control Pressure Switch
1. Connect manifold gauge set to charging valve.
2. Run engine and A/C switch ON.
3. Check continuity and no continuity between "c" and "d" terminals of A/C refrigerant pressure switch according to A/C refrigerant pressure as shown.
If operation is not as specified, replace A/C refrigerant pressure switch.
