P0533-A/C PRESSURE SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH





For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W.



Possible Causes
(C18) A/C PRESSURE SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO BATTERY VOLTAGE
(C18) A/C PRESSURE SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN
(C18) A/C PRESSURE SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (C818) 5-VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT
(C918) A/C PRESSURE GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN
A/C PRESSURE TRANSDUCER
PCM


Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).



Diagnostic Test

1. A/C PRESSURE TRANSDUCER VOLTAGE ABOVE 4.9 VOLTS

NOTE: Diagnose any CAN - C Communication DTCs before continuing.

NOTE: Make sure the A/C refrigerant system is properly charged per Service Information.


Start the engine.
With a scan tool, read the A/C Pressure Sensor voltage.

Is the voltage above 4.9 volts?

Yes


No

2. A/C PRESSURE TRANSDUCER



Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the A/C Pressure Transducer harness connector.
Connect a jumper wire between the (C18) A/C Pressure Signal circuit and the (C918) Sensor Ground circuit in the Transducer harness connector.
Ignition on, engine not running.
With the scan tool, monitor the A/C Pressure Transducer voltage.

Is the voltage below 1.0 volt with the jumper wire installed?

Yes


No

3. (C18) A/C PRESSURE SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO BATTERY VOLTAGE



Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the C1 TIPM harness connector.
Ignition on, engine not running.
Measure the voltage on the (C18) A/C Pressure Signal circuit in the A/C Pressure Transducer harness connector.

Is the voltage above 0 volts?

Yes


No

4. (C18) A/C PRESSURE SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN



Turn the ignition off.
Measure the resistance of the (C18) A/C Pressure Signal circuit from the A/C Pressure Transducer harness connector to C1 TIPM harness connector.

Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes


No

5. (C18) A/C PRESSURE SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (C818) 5-VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT



Measure the resistance between the (C18) A/C Pressure Signal circuit and the (C818) 5-volt Supply circuit in the A/C Pressure Transducer harness connector.

Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes


No

6. (C918) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN



Measure the resistance of the (C918) Sensor Ground circuit from the A/C Pressure Sensor harness connector to the C1 TIPM harness connector.

Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes


No

7. TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE

NOTE: Before continuing, check the TIPM harness connector terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Repair as necessary.


Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wire harness and connectors.
Pay particular attention to all Power and Ground circuits.

Were any problems found?

Yes


No
