2.	Inspect the voltage value whether it is sufficient to be regular value or not.

If the measured voltage value is not wihtin specification, replace the A/C pressure transducer.

Voltage = 0.00878835 * Pressure + 0.4

Replacement

1.	Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal.

2.	Recover the refrigerant with a recovery/charging station.

3.	Disconnect the A/C pressure transducer connector (A).

Remove the A/C pressure transducer (B).

Be careful not to bend the liquid & suction pipe.

Install in the reverse order of removal.

When installing, replace it with a new O-ring (A).
