The A/C refrigerant pressure sensor prevents the A/C system from operating when an excessively high or low pressure condition exists. Basically it ensures that pressures are maintained between the specified range, and protects the compressor - if the pressure is too low or too high, the compressor can get damaged.

With R134a, you'll need much higher pressures to achieve the same cooling effect as with using R12.
