DESCRIPTION
The air conditioner pressure sensor, which is installed to the high pressure side pipe to detect refrigerant pressure, sends a refrigerant pressure signal to the air conditioning amplifier assembly. The air conditioning amplifier assembly converts this signal to a pressure value according to the sensor characteristics and uses it to control the compressor.

 PROCEDURE
| 1. | CHECK REGULATOR PRESSURE SENSOR | 
(a) Install a manifold gauge set.
(b) Read the Data List according to the display on the GTS.
Body Electrical > Air Conditioner > Data List| Tester Display | Measurement Item | Range | Normal Condition | Diagnostic Note | 
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Regulator Pressure Sensor | Air conditioner pressure sensor | Min.: -32768 kPa(gauge) Max.: 32767 kPa(gauge) | Actual refrigerant pressure displayed | 
 | 
| Tester Display | 
|---|
| Regulator Pressure Sensor | 
(c) Compare the values displayed in the Data List and on the manifold gauge set.
| Result | Proceed to | 
|---|---|
| The values displayed in the Data List and on the manifold gauge set does not match | A | 
| The values displayed in the Data List and on the manifold gauge set match | B |

| 
 | 
| 2. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (AIR CONDITIONER PRESSURE SENSOR - BODY GROUND) | 
(a) Disconnect the A61 air conditioner pressure sensor connector.
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
| Tester Connection | Switch Condition | Specified Condition | 
|---|---|---|
| A61-1 (-) - Body ground | Always | Below 1 Ω | 
| NG | .gif)  | GO TO STEP 8 | 
| 
 | 
| 3. | CHECK TERMINAL VOLTAGE | 
| (a) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below. Standard Voltage: 
 | 
 | 
| Result | Proceed to | 
|---|---|
| Voltage is more than 5.25 V | A | 
| Voltage is more than or equal to 3.0 and less than or equal to 5.25 V | B | 
| Voltage is less than 3.0 V | C | 
| B | .gif)  | GO TO STEP 5 | 
| C | .gif)  | GO TO STEP 7 | 
| 
 | 
| 4. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (AIR CONDITIONER PRESSURE SENSOR - AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY) | 
(a) Disconnect the I48 air conditioning amplifier assembly connector.

| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition | 
|---|---|---|
| A61-2 (PR) or I48-6 (PRE) - Other terminals and body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher | 
| OK | .gif)  | REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY | 
| NG | .gif)  | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR | 
| 5. | CHECK INTERNAL CIRCUIT RESISTANCE (AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY) | 
(a) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition | 
|---|---|---|
| A61-3 (+) - A61-2 (PR) | Ignition switch off | 180 to 220 kΩ | 
HINT:
After turning the ignition switch off, wait at least 30 seconds before performing the measurement.
| OK | .gif)  | REPLACE AIR CONDITIONER PRESSURE SENSOR | 
| 
 | 
| 6. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (AIR CONDITIONER PRESSURE SENSOR - AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY) | 
(a) Disconnect the I48 air conditioning amplifier assembly connector.
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition | 
|---|---|---|
| A61-2 (PR) or I48-6 (PRE) - A61-3 (+) or I48-11 (S5-3) | Always | 10 kΩ or higher | 
| OK | .gif)  | REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY | 
| NG | .gif)  | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR | 
| 7. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (AIR CONDITIONER PRESSURE SENSOR - AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY) | 
(a) Disconnect the I48 air conditioning amplifier assembly connector.
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
