A/C Pressure Transducer

Air Conditioning

A/C Pressure Transducer

The A/C pressure transducer monitors the compressor discharge pressure and communicates with the PCM. The PCM will interrupt A/C compressor
operation in the event that the A/C pressure transducer indicates high system discharge pressures. It is also used to sense low charge conditions. If the
pressure is below a predetermined value for a given ambient temperature, the PCM will not allow the clutch to engage.
