Subaru pressure switch

MikeC5 on Thu September 09, 2010 12:51 PM User is offlineView users profile

Year: 2002
Make: Subaru
Model: Outback
Engine Size: 2.5
Refrigerant Type: R134a
Country of Origin: Japan

I'm replacing the dryer and expansion valve on the Sub (I suspect a clogged TXV) and was going to put in a new pressure switch just for the helluvit. I can't seem to find one for sale (except for the stealer). Are these seldom replaced? Does anyone know if it is a low/high cutoff switch?

It would be either a high/low cut if it has 2 wires, or an ECM sensor if it has 3 wires. The switch isn't going to wear out like on a CCOT, because it doesn't cycle. The switch sits there and stays closed all the time in normal operation. Just put the old one back on, but use a new o-ring.

Thanks.
