Diagnosis And Testing - A/C Pressure Transducer
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Dodge Dakota. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Before performing diagnosis of the a/c pressure transducer switch, verify that the refrigerant system has the correct refrigerant charge. (Refer to DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING )
- Turn on engine and have a/c selected.
- Using the DRB-III monitor and record the pressure value as it is sent out from the PCM.
- Connect the high side manifold gauge set to the fitting on the liquid line high side refrigerant system service port.
- Compare the DRB-III pressure value to the manifold gauge set reading. The pressure reading from the DRB-III should similar to the reading of the manifold gauge set value.
- If not, replace the a/c pressure transducer.
