A/C Refrigerant Pressure Sensor Circuit
2007-2012 Nissan Altima 2.5L I4
Description
Malfunction in the A/C refrigerant pressure sensor circuit. The sensor monitors system pressure for compressor protection.
Symptoms
- A/C not engaging
- A/C blows warm air
- A/C cycles on and off rapidly
- Incorrect pressure reading on scan tool
Common Causes
- Faulty pressure sensor/transducer
- Wiring damage
- Low refrigerant level
- Sensor connector corrosion
- PCM input circuit fault
Diagnostic Steps
- Read pressure sensor value with scan tool
- Compare electronic reading to gauge reading
- Test sensor voltage output
- Inspect sensor connector
- Check wiring to PCM
Repair Notes
Replace refrigerant pressure sensor or repair wiring. Check refrigerant charge level.
