OBD Code P0532

A/C Refrigerant Pressure Sensor “A” Circuit Low

What’s mean?

OBD2 Code P0532 Definition:
The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the high side refrigerant pressure via a A/C refrigerant pressure sensor. When the pressure is high the signal voltage is high. When the pressure is low the signal voltage is low. When pressure is high the PCM commands the cooling fans on. When pressure is too high or too low the PCM will not allow the A/C compressor clutch to engage.

Symptoms

Possible sumptoms of P0532
– Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light) – A/C Inoperative – A/C Blows Warm

Possible Causes

Possible causes of P0532
– A/C system low or over charge with refrigerant – Faulty A/C refrigerant pressure sensor – Cooling fans in-operative – A/C refrigerant pressure sensor circuit open or shorted The Error code is generally activated on detection of the following conditions: The P0532 code is detected when the signal circuit is too low.
