Title: HEATING / AIR CONDITIONING: AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM (for TMC Made, and Gasoline Model, with Manual Air Conditioning System for Electrical Control Type): P053011; Refrigerant Pressure Sensor Circuit Short to Ground; 2023 MY Corolla Corolla Hatchback GR Corolla [09/2022 - 11/2022]

DTC

P053011

Refrigerant Pressure Sensor Circuit Short to Ground

DESCRIPTION

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.

This DTC is stored if refrigerant pressure on the high pressure side is extremely low.

DTC No.
