DTC P0534: Low A/C Cycling Period

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
P0534 - LOW A/C CYCLING PERIOD

Description:  Indicates frequent A/C compressor clutch cycling.
Possible Causes: 
  • Mechanical A/C system concern (such as low refrigerant charge, damaged A/C cycling switch)
  • Intermittent open between the cycling pressure switch and the powertrain control module (PCM)
  • Intermittent open in the IGN RUN circuit to cycling pressure switch (if applicable)
Diagnostic Aids:  An intermittent open circuit, although possible, is unlikely. This test is designed to protect the transmission. In some strategies, the PCM unlocks the torque converter during A/C clutch engagement. If a concern is present that results in frequent A/C clutch cycling, damage could occur if the torque converter is cycled at these intervals. This test detects this condition, sets the DTC and prevents the torque converter from excessive cycling.
