Structure And Operation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Nissan Leaf. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- The refrigerant pressure sensor is a capacitance type sensor. It consists of a pressure detection area and a signal processing area.
- The pressure detection area is the variable capacity compressor. It changes the internal capacitance according to the pressure.
- The signal processing area detects the capacitance of pressure detection area, converts it into the voltage, and outputs it to ECM.
