Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Diagnostic Aids
If actual A/C pressure (measured with gauge) matches scan tool reading, repair any A/C problem before proceeding with this DTC. PCM will disable A/C clutch when this DTC is set.
To locate an intermittent problem, use scan tool to monitor A/C HIGH SIDE PRESS. SENSOR voltage with ignition on, engine off. Wiggling wires while watching for a change in A/C HIGH SIDE PRESS. SENSOR voltage may locate area where an open, short to ground or short to voltage in wiring could lie.
A/C pressure sensor, fuel tank pressure sensor and TP sensor are all tied to the same 5-volt reference source.
