The air conditioning (A/C) system uses an air conditioning pressure (ACP) sensor mounted in the high pressure side of the A/C refrigerant system to monitor the A/C refrigerant pressure. The electronic control module (ECM) uses this information to turn the cooling fans ON at high speed when the A/C refrigerant pressure is high and to keep the A/C compressor disengaged when the A/C refrigerant pressure is excessively high or low.
• | The ACP sensor reading is above 3 115 kPa (452 psi). |
• | This condition is present for 10 seconds. |
• | Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the wiring harness appears OK, observe the A/C pressure display on the scan tool while moving the connectors and the wiring harnesses related to the ACP sensor. A change in the ACP display on the scan tool will indicate the location of the fault. |
• | A fault in the A/C system or inoperative cooling fans may set an ACP DTC. |
