P1463 - AIR CONDITIONING PRESSURE SENSOR (A/CP) INSUFFICIENT PRESSURE CHANGE

Description:  Each time the A/C clutch engages, the powertrain control module (PCM) is looking for a pressure change in the refrigerant. If the change in pressure is outside of the calibration the DTC sets.
Possible Causes: 
  • A/C system mechanical failure
  • Open ACP or VREF circuit
  • A/C sensor damaged
  • A/C system electrical failure
  • A/C clutch always engaged
Diagnostic Aids:  Verify the A/C system function, including refrigerant charge. Refer to the appropriate CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM - GENERAL INFORMATION article.
