P2524 Meaning
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors refrigerant pressure through the A/C pressure sensor. The PCM provides a 5V reference and a low reference to the sensor. Changes in A/C refrigerant pressure cause the sensor signal to the PCM to vary. When pressure is high, the signal is high. When pressure is low, the signal is low. The PCM sets the OBDII code when the sensor signal falls outside factory specifications.
