PCM - Engine Data 2 - A/C High Side Pressure
- The scan tool displays -103 to +3119 kPa (-14 to +452 psi). This parameter represents the A/C refrigerant pressure sensor voltage signal converted to pressure.
PCM - Engine Data 2 - A/C High Side Pressure
- The scan tool displays 0-5 volts. The output of the A/C refrigerant pressure sensor.
PCM - Engine Data 2 - A/C Off For WOT
- The scan tool displays Yes or No. Yes indicates that the PCM has disabled the A/C compressor, because the throttle position (TP) sensor signal is at wide open throttle.
PCM - Engine Data 2 - A/C Pressure Disable
- The scan tool displays Yes or No. Yes is displayed when the system pressure exceeds 3034 kPa (440 psi).
PCM - Engine Data 2 - A/C Request Signal
- The scan tool displays Yes or No. Yes is displayed when the HVAC control module is requesting A/C system operation.
