P1463 - AIR CONDITIONING PRESSURE SENSOR (ACP) INSUFFICIENT PRESSURE CHANGE

Description:  Each time the A/C clutch engages, the 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.
