A/C Refrigerant Pressure Sensor B Circuit

Moderate severity

What it means

General electrical fault in the second A/C refrigerant pressure sensor circuit. Sensor B usually monitors the low-side or compressor-suction pressure (in addition to high-side sensor A). The ECM cannot read a plausible value and disables variable compressor control to avoid evaporator freeze-up or overpressure.

Is it safe to drive?
