REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR
Revision: 2006 December 2006 FX35/FX45
REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSORPFP:92136
Component DescriptionNBS003ZQ
The refrigerant pressure sensor is installed at the condenser of the
air conditioner system. The sensor uses an electrostatic volume
pressure transducer to convert refrigerant pressure to voltage. The
voltage signal is sent to ECM, and ECM controls cooling fan system.
