Is DTC P0532 indicated?

     
YES
     
     
     
The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.
     
NO
     
     
     
Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the A/C pressure sensor and the PCM. If the on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the on-board snapshot.?

?1.
Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

?2.
Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

?3.
Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.
Test condition
Vehicle ON mode
 
A/C pressure sensor 3P connector: disconnected
Test point 1
A/C pressure sensor 3P connector (female terminals) No. 1:
Test point 2
A/C pressure sensor 3P connector (female terminals) No. 3:


Is there about 5.0 V?

     
YES
     
     
     
     
NO
     
     
     
Go to step 4.
4.
Open wire check (VCC6 line):

Open wire check (VCC6 line)
?1.
Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

?2.
Jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.


?3.
Disconnect the following connector.
PCM connector No. 2 (58P)

?4.
Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.
Test condition
Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
 
A/C pressure sensor 3P connector: disconnected
 
PCM connector No. 2 (58P): disconnected
Test point 1
A/C pressure sensor 3P connector (female terminals) No. 3:
Test point 2
PCM connector No. 2 (58P) No. 55


Is there continuity?

     
YES
     
     
     
The VCC6 wire is OK. Check for any authorized service information related to the DTCs or symptoms you are troubleshooting, or substitute a known-good PCM, then recheck. If DTC P0532 goes away and the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM.?
     
NO
     
     
     
Repair an open in the VCC6 wire between PCM connector No. 2 terminal No. 55 and the A/C pressure sensor.?
5.
Shorted wire check (PD SENSOR line):

Shorted wire check (PD SENSOR line)
?1.
