| 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.
Inspection1.Turn the ignition switch OFF.2.Disconnect the temperature control actuator connector.3.Verify that the temperature control actuator operates to the cool position when connecting 12V to terminal 3 and grounding terminal 7.Verify that the temperature control actuator operates to the warm position when connected in reverse.
Safety PrecautionPrecautions To Take Before Servicing High Voltage System • Since hybrid vehicles contain a high voltage battery, if the high voltage system or vehicles are handled incorrectly, this might lead to a serious accidents like electric shock and electric leakage.
