A / C HIGH PRESSURE
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The rear A/C high pressure switch provides a sig-
nal to the rear A/C control module to control rear A/C
compressor clutch engagement/disengagement and,
control rear A/C condenser cooling fan operation (Fig.
7). The rear A/C control module will disengage the
rear A/C clutch if the rear refrigerant system pres-
sure exceeds approximately 2551 kPa (370 psi).
The rear A/C high pressure switch is mounted on a
fitting located on the inlet tube of the rear A/C con-
denser.
The rear refrigerant system must be discharged
prior to removing the rear A/C high pressure
switch.
OPERATION
The contacts in the rear A/C high pressure switch
open and close causing the rear A/C control module
to turn the rear A/C clutch on and off. This prevents

rear A/C compressor operation when the rear dis-
charge line pressure approaches high levels, and also
reduces electrical surging from rear A/C clutch
engagement.
The rear A/C high pressure switch controls rear
A/C condenser cooling fan operation by monitoring
the rear discharge line pressure. When the rear dis-
charge pressure rises above approximately 1900 to
2200 kPa (280 to 320 psi) the rear A/C condenser
cooling fan will turn on. The rear condenser cooling
fan will turn off when the rear discharge pressure
drops to approximately 1600 kPa (235 psi).
The rear A/C high pressure switch contacts open
when the rear discharge line pressure rises above
approximately 3100 to 3375 kPa (450 to 490 psi). The
rear A/C high pressure switch contacts close when
the rear discharge line pressure drops to approxi-
mately 1860 to 2275 kPa (270 to 330 psi).
The rear A/C high pressure switch is factory-cali-
brated and cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if
faulty or damaged, it must be replaced. Refer to the
appropriate wiring information for complete HVAC
wiring diagrams.

WARNING: Refer to the applicable warnings and
cautions for this system before performing the fol-
lowing operation (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR
CONDITIONING/PLUMBING - WARNINGS) and (Refer
to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMBING -
CAUTIONS). Failure to follow the warnings and cau-
tions could result in possible personal injury or
death.
(1) Disconnect and isolate the negative battery
cable.
(2) Remove the air filter from the rear A/C evapo-
rator housing (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CON-
DITIONING/DISTRIBUTION - REAR/AIR FILTER -

(3) Recover the refrigerant from the rear refriger-
ant system (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDI-
TIONING/PLUMBING - STANDARD PROCEDURE -
REFRIGERANT RECOVERY).
(4) Remove the cover from the rear A/C condenser
housing (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDI-

(6) Remove the rear A/C high pressure switch and
install a plug into, or tape over the opened rear dis-
charge line fitting.
INSTALLATION
NOTE: Replacement of the PTFE thread sealing
tape is required anytime the rear A/C high pressure
switch is removed from the rear discharge line. Fail-
ure to replace the sealing tape could result in a rear
refrigerant system leak.
(1) Remove the tape or plug from the rear dis-
charge line fitting.
(2) Install PTFE thread sealing tape onto the rear
A/C high pressure switch and install the switch onto
the rear discharge line. Tightened the A/C high pres-
sure switch to 10 N·m (88 in. lbs.).
(3) Connect the wiring harness connector to the
rear A/C high pressure switch.
(4) Reconnect the negative battery cable.
(5) Evacuate the rear refrigerant system (Refer to
24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMBING
- STANDARD PROCEDURE - REFRIGERANT SYS-
TEM EVACUATE).
(6) Charge the rear refrigerant system (Refer to 24
- HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMBING -

A / C LOW PRESSURE SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The rear A/C low pressure switch provides a signal
to the rear A/C control module to regulate the rear
refrigerant system pressure and control rear A/C
evaporator temperature (Fig. 9). The rear A/C control
module will disengage the rear A/C clutch if the rear
refrigerant system suction line pressure falls below
30 kPa (4.4 psi).
The rear A/C low pressure switch is mounted on a
fitting located on the rear suction line near the left
side of the rear A/C evaporator housing.
The rear refrigerant system must be discharge
prior to removing the rear A/C low pressure switch.
OPERATION
The rear A/C low pressure switch is electrically
connected in series with the rear A/C high pressure
switch, between ground and the rear A/C control
module.
The rear A/C low pressure switch contact opens or
closes the path the ground, signaling the rear A/C
control module to turn the rear A/C clutch on and off.
This regulates the rear refrigerant system pressure
and controls rear A/C evaporator temperature. Con-
trolling the rear evaporator temperature prevents
condensate water on the evaporator fins from freez-
ing and obstructing rear A/C system air flow.
The rear A/C low pressure switch contacts are open
when the rear suction line pressure is approximately
152 kPa (22 psi) or lower. The rear A/C low pressure
switch contacts will close when the rear suction line
pressure rises to approximately 234 to 262 kPa (34 to
38 psi) or above. Lower ambient temperatures, below
approximately -1° C (30° F), will also cause the rear
A/C low pressure switch contacts to open due to the
pressure/temperature relationship of the refrigerant
in the system.
The rear A/C low pressure switch is factory-cali-
brated and cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if
faulty or damaged, it must be replaced. Refer to the
appropriate wiring information for complete HVAC
wiring diagrams.

WARNING: Refer to the applicable warnings and
cautions for this system before performing the fol-
lowing operation (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR
CONDITIONING/PLUMBING - WARNINGS) and (Refer

tions could result in possible personal injury or

TOR COVER-REAR - REMOVAL).
(3) Recover the refrigerant from the rear refriger-
ant system (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDI-
TIONING/PLUMBING - STANDARD PROCEDURE -

(4) Remove the insulating tape from around the
area of the rear A/C low pressure switch (Fig. 10).
