DTC Troubleshooting: P0533 (191-2)

DTC P0533:  A/C pressure sensor Circuit High Voltage


NOTE: Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and review the general troubleshooting information.

1.Start the engine, and let it idle.

2.Turn the blower switch on.

3.Turn the A/C switch on.

4.Check the A/C PRESSURE SENSOR in the DATA LIST with the HDS.

Is there about 4.75 V or more?


YES - Go to 5.


NO - Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the A/C pressure sensor and the ECM.n


5.Turn the ignition switch OFF.

6.Disconnect the A/C pressure sensor 3P connector.

7.Connect A/C pressure sensor 3P connector terminals No. 2 and No. 3 with a jumper wire.

 

8.Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

9.Check the A/C PRESSURE SENSOR in the DATA LIST with the HDS.

Is there about 4.75 V or more?


YES - Go to 10.


NO - Go to 22


10.Turn the ignition switch OFF.

11.Remove the jumper wire from the A/C pressure sensor 3P connector.

12.Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

13.Measure voltage between A/C pressure sensor 3P connector terminals No. 1 and No. 3.

 

Is there about 5 V?


YES - Go to 14.


NO - Go to 18.

14.Turn the ignition switch OFF, and wait 1 minute.

15.Disconnect ECM connector No. 1 (96P).

16.Connect A/C pressure sensor 3P connector terminal No. 2 to body ground with a jumper wire.

 

17.Check for continuity between ECM connector No. 1 terminal No. 18 and body ground.

 

Is there continuity?


YES - Go to 31.


NO - Repair open in the wire between the A/C pressure sensor and ECM connector No. 1 terminal No. 18, then go to 24

18.Turn the ignition switch OFF, and wait 1 minute.

19.Disconnect ECM connector No. 1 (96P).

20.Connect A/C pressure sensor 3P connector terminal No. 3 to body ground with a jumper wire.

 

21.Check for continuity between ECM connector No. 1 terminal No. 10 and body ground.

 

Is there continuity?


YES - Go to 31.


NO - Repair open in the wire between the A/C pressure sensor and ECM connector No. 1 terminal No. 10, then go to 24

22.Turn the ignition switch OFF.

23.Replace the A/C pressure sensor.

24.Reconnect all connectors.

25.Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

26.Reset the ECM with the HDS.

27.Start the engine, and let it idle.

28.Turn the blower switch on.

29.Turn the A/C switch on.

30.Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.

Are any Temporary DTCs or DTCs indicated?


YES - If DTC P0533 is indicated, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the A/C pressure sensor and the ECM, then go to 1. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.


NO - Troubleshooting is complete.n


31.Update the ECM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM.

32.Start the engine, and let it idle.

33.Turn the blower switch on.

34.Turn the A/C switch on.

35.Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.

Are any Temporary DTCs or DTCs indicated?


YES - If DTC P0532 is indicated, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the A/C pressure sensor and the ECM, then go to 1. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.


NO - If the ECM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the ECM was substituted, replace the original ECM.
