Ford P0534 OBD-II Trouble Code Definition:
P0534 Air Conditioning (A/C) Refrigerant Charge Loss
P0534 Ford OBD-II Trouble CodeDescription:
OBD Trouble Code P0534
Air Conditioner Refrigerant Charge Loss
What does the code mean? OBD-ii Code P0534 definition:
The powertrain control module (ECM) monitors the high side refrigerant pressure via a A/C refrigerant pressure sensor. When the pressure is high the signal voltage is high. When the pressure is low the signal voltage is low. When pressure is high the ECM commands the cooling fans on. When pressure is too high or too low the PCM will not allow the A/C compressor clutch to engage.
