(a) Check the wire harness.

(1) Disconnect the A9 air conditioner pressure sensor connector.

(2) Disconnect the J42 air conditioning amplifier assembly connector.

(3) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection

Condition

Specified Condition

A9-1 (-) - J42-3 (SG-4)

Always

Below 1 Ω

A9-2 (PR) - J42-24 (PRE)

Always

Below 1 Ω

A9-3 (+) - J42-6 (S5-3)

Always

Below 1 Ω

A9-1 (-) - Body ground

Always

10 kΩ or higher

A9-2 (PR) - Body ground

Always

10 kΩ or higher

A9-3 (+) - Body ground

Always

10 kΩ or higher

If the resistance is not as specified, repair the wire harness.

(4) Reconnect the J42 air conditioning amplifier assembly connector.

(5) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

(6) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:
