| Inspection |
|
| 1. | Turn the ignition switch OFF. |
| 2. | Install the refrigerant recovery/recycling/charging system. (Refer to Air Conditioning System - "Repair procedures") |
| 3. | Turn ON the ignition switch, put into operation the air conditioner. |
| 4. | Calculate the reference voltage of the Recovery/Recycle/Recharge machine high pressure value using the formula below.
|
| 5. | Measure the sensor output voltage between terminal "1" and "2".
|
| 6. | If the reference voltage value and the sensor output voltage value are close to each other, the air conditioner pressure transducer is normal. |
| 7. | If 0V is output or the reference voltage value and sensor output voltage value are not close to each other, replace the air conditioner pressure transducer.
|
| Replacement |
| 1. | Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal. |
| 2. | Recover the refrigerant with a recovery/charging station.
|
| 3. | Disconnect the A/C pressure transducer connector (A).
|
| 4. | Remove the A/C pressure transducer (A).
|
| 5. | To install, reverse the removal procedure.

DescriptionThe A/C Pressure Transducer (APT) converts the pressure value of high pressure line into voltage value after measuring it. By converted voltage value, engine ECU controls the cooling fan by operating it high speed or low speed.
DescriptionThe evaporator temperature sensor will detect the evaporator core temperature and interrupt compressor relay power in order to prevent evaporator from freezing by excessive cooling.
DescriptionThe mode control actuator is located at the heater unit.It adjusts the position of the mode door by operating the mode control actuator based on the signal of the A/C control unit. Pressing the mode select switch makes the mode control actuator shift in order of Vent → Bi-Level → Floor → Mix.
