Help! A/C low pressure sensor..jumper?
to all the gods of electronic.. my low pressure sensor is out and dont have money right now to fix it,, can i "jump" the low pressure sensor wire harness terminal to activate the compressor clutch so i can use my a/c for now..compressor works but wont activate due to low pressure sensor, pressure test was done and its fine.. anyone its about to get real hot in TdotO.. thanks

To bypass the pressure sensor you would need a 10K resistor and a 6.4K resistor.
The sensor has 3 terminals, so on the connector that you pull off of it you would connect the two resistors as follows: 10K between the grey and black wires 6.4K between the yellow and black wires (so one end of each would go to the black wire) If there is really something wrong with the system, then the end result may be a much larger repair bill if you run it with the sensor bypassed.

thanks scott.. what other issues would i ran into by jumping..beside low coolant level which can damage compressor...i wish they sell just the pressure switch rather than the whole pipes which includes high and low pressure switch.. over $500 bucks

It is a shame on not being able to buy the sensor separate. The part number on the other thread is correct, but you can't actually seem to order them anyplace. The other option would be to pick up the line or sensor at a junkyard.

im pretty sure just the low pressure switch is not working, high pressure should still shut off the compressor during WOT.. im still leaning into checking the ambient sersor as well..

It is a single pressure transducer that feeds the pressure reading to the AC ECU, which then decides if it is low, high, or just right.

so ur saying by jumping the low pressure switch harness thats automatically jumping the high pressure as well?? men this is getting too complicated.. appreciate the input though..

There is just one sensor (not a switch or switches, but a device that changes resistance based on pressure). That is why the two resistors, rather than jumpers are required to bypass it.

499000-7880 - oil pressure switch part#

By the way, I just happen to have a perfect sensor (off an 08 with 30,000 miles) in my hand at the moment that I harvested this morning.

My 07 yaris sounds very similar to your issue, the green light on the dash is illuminated but there isn't any power to the compressor solenoid. I'm wondering what readings I should have at the solenoid?
