A/C Pressure Switch Circuit Troubleshooting.
NOTE:
- Do not use this troubleshooting procedure if any of the following items are operative; condenser fan radiator fan A/C compressor or if the heater is inoperative. Refer to the symptom troubleshooting index.
- Before performing symptom troubleshooting check for powertrain DTCs (see GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION ).
- Disconnect the A/C pressure switch 4P connector.
- Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
- Measure the voltage between the No. 1 terminal of the A/C pressure switch 4P connector and body ground.

Is there battery voltage?
- YES - Go to step 4.
- NO - Repair open in the wire between the A/C diode A, the PCM and the A/C pressure switch.
- Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Check for continuity between the No. 1 and No. 4 terminals of the A/C pressure switch.

Is there continuity?
- YES - Go to step 6.
- NO - Go to step 13 .
- Reconnect the A/C pressure switch 4P connector.
Does the vehicle have a Navigation System?
- YES - Go to step 10 .
- NO - Go to step 7.
- Disconnect climate control unit connector B (20P).
- Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
- Measure the voltage between the No. 2 terminal of climate control unit connector B (20P) and body ground.Fig 3: Measuring Voltage Between No. 2 Terminal Of Climate Control Unit Connector B (20P) & Body Ground

Is there battery voltage?
- YES -Check for loose wires or poor connections at climate control unit connector B (20P) and at the A/C pressure switch 4P connector. If the connections are good substitute a known-good climate control unit and recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away replace the original climate control unit.
- NO -Repair open in the wire between the climate control unit and the A/C pressure switch.
- Disconnect climate control unit connector B (26P).
- Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
- Measure the voltage between the No. 4 terminal of climate control unit connector B (26P) and body ground.Fig 4: Measuring Voltage Between No. 4 Terminal Of Climate Control Unit Connector B (26P) & Body Ground

- NO - Repair open in the wire between the climate control unit and the A/C pressure switch.
- Check for proper A/C system pressure.
Is the pressure within specifications?
- YES - Replace the A/C pressure switch.
- NO - Repair the A/C pressure problem.
