NOTE:

There are different designations, depending on the vehicle. The sensor is designated as High Pressure Sensor -G65- on the Audi A6 e-tron. It exchanges the data with the Thermal Management Control Module -J1024- on this vehicle. On all other vehicles (except for the Audi A6 e-tron), the sensor is designated as the A/C Pressure/Temperature Sensor -G395-. For these vehicles, it exchanges data with the Climatronic Control Module -J255- control head. Refer to the Appropriate Wiring Diagram.

-- Have a second technician open the tabs -1- in direction of -arrow A- and pull the condenser -2- upward out of the mounts on the radiator -arrows B-.
