Component Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Nissan Altima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The refrigerant pressure sensor is installed at the liquid tank of the air conditioner system. The sensor uses an electrostatic volume pressure transducer to convert refrigerant pressure to voltage. The voltage signal is sent to ECM, and ECM controls cooling fan system.
