Some models are equipped with an A/C pressure sensor which is used to inform PCM of A/C system pressure levels. Low pressure signal will cause A/C compressor to disengage to prevent system damage. High pressure levels cause PCM to engage high speed cooling fans while A/C compressor clutch is engaged. Extremely high pressure levels will cause PCM to disengage A/C compressor clutch to prevent system damage.
