HelloCustomer

 

The low pressure sensor must read correctly to the PCM for it to turn on the compressor.

 

Code must be cleared from PCM & BCM for system to work.

Customer replied 1144 days and 21 hours ago.

ok i am a heavy duty mechanic not much on caddis. So with that being said, can I do that myself? How do I clear codes and should I replace low psi sensor?

Yes,replace the low pressure sensor & clear the codes.

Use the CRT climate control ON BOARD SYSTEM

Enter diagnostics by simultaneously pressing "OFF" & "WARMER" buttons.

 

Follow on screen displays to advance to ECM & BCM

 

When asked to "CLEAR CODES ?" YES

This is a low freon code.When the prompts ask you BCM -- enter yes

Go to the point where it ask you to clear codes -- enter yes

The system should clear this code.

 

All this can be done also with a scan tool connected to the data link connector below dash on drivers side.
