Symptom:
P-1598 A/C PRESSURE SENSOR VOLTS TOO HIGH
When Monitored and Set Condition:
P-1598 A/C PRESSURE SENSOR VOLTS TOO HIGH
When Monitored: With the ignition on, the engine running, and the A/C relay energized.
Set Condition: The A/C pressure sensor signal at PCM cavity 42 goes above 4.9 volts.
POSSIBLE CAUSES
AIR CONDITIONING PRESSURE SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN
AIR CONDITIONING PRESSURE SENSOR DEFECTIVE
A/C PRESS SENSOR CONN AND WIRING HARN INTER DAMAGE
A/C PRESSURE SENSOR CONNECTOR AND HARNESS OBSERVABLE DEFECT
A/C PRESSURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN
A/C PRESSURE SENSOR SIGNAL SHORT TO VOLTAGE
PCM DEFECTIVE

TEST ACTION APPLICABILITY
5 Ignition Off
Disconnect the Upstream or Downstream O2 Sensor Connector that the voltage is
below 0.10 volts.
Note: Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary.
Disconnect the Powertrain Control Module.
Note: Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary.
Using an Ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the O2 Sensor Signal Circuit
and a good ground.
Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?All
Ye s®Repair the O2 Sensor Signal Circuit for a short to ground.

Repair
Replace the Upstream or Downstream O2 Sensor that was below
0.10 volts.
Perform Powertrain Verification Test VER-2A.
7 Engine Running
Allow the Engine to idle.
Inspect the Engine for any abnormal vacuum conditions.
Are there any abnormal vacuum conditions?All
Ye s®Repair abnormal Engine Vacuum condition as required.
Perform Powertrain Verification Test VER-2A.
No®Go To 8
8 Engine Running
With the DRB, reset the Adaptive Fuel Memory.
Note: The engine must be running and at normal operating temperature.
Note: The Downstream O2 Sensor should switch slower than the Upstream
O2 Sensor.
With the DRB, read the O2 Sensor voltages for 10 seconds or more.
Are the O2 Sensor voltages switching normally?All
Ye s®Test Complete.
No®Refer to symptom * CHECKING THE ENGINE MECHANICAL
SYSTEMS in the DRIVEABILITY category.
9 Ignition Off
Install a Fuel Pressure Gauge to the Fuel Line. Use special tools if necessary.
Turn ignition on.
With the DRB, actuate the ASD Fuel System Test.
Allow Fuel Pressure to stabilize.
With the DRB, stop Fuel System Test. Monitor the Pressure Gauge for 1 minute.
Is the Fuel Pressure below 10 psi?All
Ye s®If Fuel Pump and Lines are OK, replace leaking Injector(s) as
necessary.
