COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM
If the A/C pressure sensor system is defective, the wiring harness between the A/C pressure sensor and the A/C control panel is suspected.

PROBABLE CAUSES

  • Malfunction of the A/C pressure sensor
  • Malfunction of the A/C control panel
  • Wiring harness or connector failure

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
