DTC P0532:00

Refrigerant pressure sensor circuit low input
DETECTION CONDITION
•  The PCM monitors the input voltage from the refrigerant pressure sensor. If the input voltage at the PCM terminal 2BH is below 0.06 V for 5 s, the PCM determines that the refrigerant pressure sensor circuit has a malfunction.
Diagnostic support note
•  This is an intermittent monitor (other).
•  The check engine light does not illuminate.
•  FREEZE FRAME DATA is not available.
•  Snapshot data is available.
•  DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION
•  Inhibits the A/C control.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
•  Refrigerant pressure sensor connector or terminals malfunction
•  Short to ground in wiring harness between the following terminals:
―  Refrigerant pressure sensor terminal A—PCM terminal 2AR
―  Refrigerant pressure sensor terminal B—PCM terminal 2BH
•  PCM connector or terminals malfunction
•  Refrigerant pressure sensor signal circuit and ground circuit are shorted to each other
•  Open circuit in wiring harness between the following terminals:
―  Refrigerant pressure sensor terminal A—PCM terminal 2AR
―  Refrigerant pressure sensor terminal B—PCM terminal 2BH
•  Refrigerant pressure sensor malfunction
•  PCM malfunction

Diagnostic Procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION
1
RECORD VEHICLE STATUS AT TIME OF DTC DETECTION TO UTILIZE WITH REPEATABILITY VERIFICATION
Note
•  Recording can be facilitated using the screen capture function of the PC.
•  Record the snapshot data on the repair order.

Go to the next step.
2
VERIFY RELATED SERVICE INFORMATION AVAILABILITY
•  Verify related Service Information availability.
•  Is any related Service Information available?
Yes
Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available Service Information.
•  If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
3
INSPECT REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR CONNECTOR CONDITION
•  Switch the ignition off.
•  Disconnect the refrigerant pressure sensor connector.
•  Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion).
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair or replace the connector and/or terminals, then go to Step 9.
No
Go to the next step.
4
INSPECT REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND
•  Verify that the refrigerant pressure sensor connector is disconnected.
•  Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (wiring harness-side) and body ground:
―  Refrigerant pressure sensor terminal A
―  Refrigerant pressure sensor terminal B
•  Is there continuity?
Yes
Disconnect the PCM connector and inspect the wiring harness for short to ground.
•  If the short to ground circuit could be detected in the wiring harness:
―  Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between the following terminals:
•  Refrigerant pressure sensor terminal A—PCM terminal 2AR
•  Refrigerant pressure sensor terminal B—PCM terminal 2BH
If there is a common connector:
•  Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to ground.
•  Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.
If there is no common connector:
•  Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to ground.
•  If the short to ground circuit could not be detected in the wiring harness:
―  Replace the PCM (short to ground in the PCM internal circuit).
Go to Step 9.
No
Go to the next step.
5
INSPECT PCM CONNECTOR CONDITION
•  Disconnect the PCM connector.
•  Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion).
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair or replace the connector and/or terminals, then go to Step 9.
No
Go to the next step.
6
INSPECT REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT AND GROUND CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO EACH OTHER
•  Verify that the refrigerant pressure sensor and PCM connectors are disconnected.
•  Inspect for continuity between refrigerant pressure sensor terminals B and C (wiring harness-side).
•  Is there continuity?
Yes
Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between the following terminals:
•  Refrigerant pressure sensor terminal B—PCM terminal 2BH
•  Refrigerant pressure sensor terminal C—PCM terminal 2Z
If there is a common connector:
•  Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to each other.
•  Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.
If there is no common connector:
•  Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to each other.
Go to Step 9.
No
Go to the next step.
7
INSPECT REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
•  Verify that the refrigerant pressure sensor and PCM connectors are disconnected.
•  Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (wiring harness-side):
―  Refrigerant pressure sensor terminal A—PCM terminal 2AR
―  Refrigerant pressure sensor terminal B—PCM terminal 2BH
•  Is there continuity?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between the following terminals:
•  Refrigerant pressure sensor terminal A—PCM terminal 2AR
•  Refrigerant pressure sensor terminal B—PCM terminal 2BH
If there is a common connector:
•  Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for an open circuit.
•  Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.
If there is no common connector:
•  Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit.
Go to Step 9.
8
INSPECT REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR
•  Inspect the refrigerant pressure sensor.
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Replace the refrigerant pressure sensor, then go to the next step.
(See REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MANUAL AIR CONDITIONER].)
(See REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [FULL-AUTO AIR CONDITIONER].)
No
Go to the next step.
9
VERIFY DTC TROUBLESHOOTING COMPLETED
•  Always reconnect all disconnected connectors.
•  Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the M-MDS.
