Refrigerant Temperature Sensor -G454-

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 23 other vehicles, including the 2017 Audi S5, 2017 Audi A5 Quattro, 2016 Audi S5, 2016 Audi A5 Quattro, and 2015 Audi S5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The refrigerant temperature sensor (with temperature-dependent resistance) is installed in the high pressure line near the A/C compressor, for example (only for certain vehicles that were built within a certain time frame, for example Audi Q7 from MY 2007).

In the refrigerant circuit, there is a direct correlation between temperature and pressure. Should there be too little refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit, the temperature in the refrigerant circuit rises more strongly than intended for this pressure when A/C system is operating.

NOTE:

Switch pressures, removing and installing switches as well as switch arrangement and version. Refer to vehicle specific refrigerant circuit REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT - 1 , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT - 2 , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT 1234yf - 1 , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT 1234yf - 2 , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT GENERAL INFORMATION R134a , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT R134a (vehicle-specific repair information).

NOTE:

Installed for example on the Audi Q7 with specific engines. Refer to REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT - 1 , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT - 2 , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT 1234yf - 1 , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT 1234yf - 2 , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT GENERAL INFORMATION R134a , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT R134a (vehicle-specific repair information) and refer to the Appropriate Systems Wiring Diagram.

The Climatronic Control Module -J255- evaluates pressure and temperature in the refrigerant circuit and switches off the compressor in the event the temperature increases above the value stored for this pressure. Refer to REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT - 1 , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT - 2 , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT 1234yf - 1 , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT 1234yf - 2 , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT GENERAL INFORMATION R134a , REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT R134a (vehicle-specific repair information) and Vehicle Diagnostic Tester ("OBD" or "Guided Fault Finding for the A/C system").
