What is the Cost to Diagnose the Code?
Labor: 1.0
The cost to diagnose the P0532 code is 1.0 hour of labor. The diagnosis time and labor rates at auto repair shops vary depending on the location, make and model of the vehicle, and even the engine type. Most auto repair shops charge between $75 and $150 per hour.
What are Code Possible Symptoms?
Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
A/C Inoperative
A/C Blows Warm
What Does the P0532 Code Mean?
The Engine Control Module (ECM) monitors the high side refrigerant pressure through the A/C Refrigerant Pressure Sensor. The ECM supplies a 5 V reference and a low reference to the sensor. Changes in the A/C refrigerant pressure cause the sensor signal to the ECM to vary. When the pressure is high, the signal voltage is high. When the pressure is low, the signal voltage is low. The ECM may use this information to turn the cooling fans on as well as to monitor clutch engagement. The HVAC module will receive the A/C refrigerant pressure information from the ECM via serial data. The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set when the ECM detects that the A/C pressure is less than 1 psi (0.25 V).
