Refer to A/C PRESSURE/TEMPERATURE SENSOR -G395-, REMOVING AND INSTALLING and HIGH PRESSURE SENSOR -G65-, REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT PRESSURE SENSOR -G805- (REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT - 1 , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT - 2 , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT 1234yf - 2 , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT GENERAL INFORMATION R134a , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT R134a ) .
Before loosening the sensor threaded connection, check the version. Refer to A/C PRESSURE/TEMPERATURE SENSOR -G395-, REMOVING AND INSTALLING and HIGH PRESSURE SENSOR -G65-, REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT PRESSURE SENSOR -G805- (REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT - 1 , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT - 2 , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT 1234yf - 2 , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT GENERAL INFORMATION R134a , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT R134a ) .
On a sensor for the connection on the refrigerant circuit without a valve. The refrigerant must be extracted before loosening the threaded connection. If sensor is not removed within 10 minutes after extraction, pressure may build up in refrigerant circuit by renewed evaporation. Extract the refrigerant again.
There are various designations, depending on the function and the vehicle. Refer to A/C PRESSURE/TEMPERATURE SENSOR -G395-, REMOVING AND INSTALLING and HIGH PRESSURE SENSOR -G65-, REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT PRESSURE SENSOR -G805- (REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT - 1 , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT - 2 , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT 1234yf - 2 , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT GENERAL INFORMATION R134a , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT R134a ) .
- The A/C pressure/temperature sensor is installed for example instead of the high pressure sensor or the refrigerant circuit pressure sensor. Refer to A/C PRESSURE/TEMPERATURE SENSOR -G395-, REMOVING AND INSTALLING and HIGH PRESSURE SENSOR -G65-, REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT PRESSURE SENSOR -G805- (REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT - 1 , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT - 2 , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT 1234yf - 2 , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT GENERAL INFORMATION R134a , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT R134a ) .
- The A/C pressure/temperature sensor, the refrigerant circuit pressure sensor and the high pressure sensor are available in different versions. currently the sensor's only exterior difference is the parts number. Therefore, make sure that the part numbers are correctly allocated when replacing them (part number Parts Information). Reason: These sensors produce different signals that can only be evaluated by the respective control modules. Use the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester "Guided Fault Finding" function for the A/C system. Refer to REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT - 1 , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT - 2 , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT 1234yf - 2 , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT GENERAL INFORMATION R134a , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT R134a .
- When voltage is applied, the A/C Pressure/Temperature sensor (and the refrigerant circuit pressure sensor exchange information via the data Bus (for example via the "LIN Bus") with the corresponding control module. The relevant control module uses this information to calculate the pressure (and temperature) in the refrigerant circuit and any faults detected are signaled to the control module. Use the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester in the "Guided Fault Finding" function.
- The A/C pressure/temperature sensor transmits the measured value for the refrigerant circuit pressure and the measured temperature to the connected control module. The refrigerant circuit pressure sensor only transmits the measured value for the refrigerant circuit pressure to the connected control module. Even if only the pressure signal is evaluated on most vehicles, no other pressure sensor is or will be installed on a vehicle in which a A/C pressure/temperature sensor is designed. Refer to the Parts Information.
- The temperature measured by the A/C pressure/temperature sensor differs from the actual refrigerant temperature in the refrigerant circuit because of the sensor version and its component location. Therefore it is not currently evaluated by all control modules and is not used to regulate the A/C system. Refer to A/C PRESSURE/TEMPERATURE SENSOR -G395-, REMOVING AND INSTALLING and HIGH PRESSURE SENSOR -G65-, REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT PRESSURE SENSOR -G805- (REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT - 1 , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT - 2 , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT 1234yf - 2 , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT GENERAL INFORMATION R134a , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT R134a ) .
- With this information the corresponding control modules calculate the refrigerant circuit pressure and activates the downstream control modules (radiator fan control module, engine control module etc.) via the data Bus. These control modules then active for example the A/C Clutch -N25-, the radiator fan and the engine. Use the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester in the "Guided Fault Finding" for the A/C system. Refer to A/C PRESSURE/TEMPERATURE SENSOR -G395-, REMOVING AND INSTALLING and HIGH PRESSURE SENSOR -G65-, REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT PRESSURE SENSOR -G805- (REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT - 1 , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT - 2 , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT 1234yf - 2 , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT GENERAL INFORMATION R134a , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT R134a ) .
