Component Details:
The air conditioning system is pressurized with a gas known as a refrigerant. The refrigerant flows through the lines in the
air conditioning system to remove heat and moisture from the interior of your vehicle. It circulates it through the
condenser, which disperses the heat into the air. The refrigerant is pressurized in the air conditioning system to operate
properly, and it is monitored by the refrigerant pressure sensor. Based on the AC refrigerant pressure, EMS controls the
AC Compressor and Cooling Fans.
Preliminary Checks:
1. Check whether the customer voice / view about the issue is matching with the fault effects mentioned in
above Table. If yes, go ahead with next steps. If not, check for other DTC’s presence.
2. Check whether other customers report similar complaints earlier. If yes, perform the preliminary checks with
respect to earlier issue closure.
3. Check for Damage in EMS ECU connector / A/C Refrigerant pressure sensor.
4. Check for any back out of pins at EMS ECU connector / A/C Refrigerant pressure sensor.
5. Check for any damage of pins at EMS ECU connector / A/C Refrigerant pressure sensor.
