A/C Pressure/Temperature Sensor -G395-

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Volkswagen Beetle, 2015 Volkswagen Beetle, 2014 Volkswagen Beetle, 2013 Volkswagen Beetle, and 2012 Volkswagen Beetle. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

For switching pressures, removing and installing switches and switch arrangement and version, see vehicle-specific refrigerant circuit.

Refer to AIR CONDITIONING .

WARNING:

There is a danger of ice-up.

Refrigerant will leak out if refrigerant circuit is not discharged.

The refrigerant must be extracted before the A/C Pressure/Temperature Sensor -G395- is removed. If refrigerant circuit is not opened within 10 minutes of extraction, pressure may form in refrigerant circuit due to evaporation. Extract the refrigerant once more.

This A/C Pressure/Temperature Sensor -G395- is installed instead of the High Pressure Sensor -G65- or A/C Pressure Switch -F129-.

The pressure signal is always being checked, where the temperature signal is only checked at temperatures above 0 °C (32 °F).

The Climatronic Control Module -J255- operates with this information and controls the coolant fans and activation of the A/C Compressor Regulator Valve -N280-.
