A/C Low Pressure Switch

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Oldsmobile Bravada, 2003 GMC Envoy XL, 2003 GMC Envoy, and 2003 Chevrolet TrailBlazer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The A/C low pressure switch protects the A/C system from a low pressure condition that could damage the A/C compressor or cause evaporator icing. The HVAC control module applies 12 volts to the A/C low pressure switch signal circuit. The switch will open when the A/C low side pressure reaches 124 kPa (18 psi).

This prevents the A/C compressor from operating.

The switch will then close when A/C low pressure side reaches 275 kPa (40 psi). This enables the A/C compressor to turn back ON.
