The air conditioning pressure sensor, which is installed to the high pressure side pipe to detect refrigerant pressure, sends a refrigerant pressure signal to the air conditioning amplifier assembly. The air conditioning amplifier assembly converts this signal to a pressure value according to the sensor characteristics and uses it to control the compressor.

If the conditions of either of these patterns are detected, a DTC will be stored.
If DTC P05347A is output at the same time, perform troubleshooting for DTC P05347A first.
If a connector is disconnected or not installed correctly, securely connect it and check for DTCs.
Install a manifold gauge set.
Compare the values displayed in the Data List and on the manifold gauge.
