DTC

B1423/23

Pressure Sensor Circuit

DESCRIPTION

This DTC is output when the refrigerant pressure is either extremely low (190 kPa [2.0 kgf/cm2, 28 psi] or less) or extremely high (3140 kPa [32.0 kgf/cm2, 455 psi] or more). The air conditioning pressure sensor, which is installed on the pipe of the high pressure side, detects the refrigerant pressure and sends refrigerant pressure signals to the air conditioning amplifier. The air conditioning amplifier determines the pressure from the signals in accordance with the sensor characteristics, and controls the compressor accordingly.

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK REFRIGERANT PRESSURE

(a) Install the manifold gauge set (See page 2016 - 2020 MY Sienna [12/2015 -        ]; HEATING / AIR CONDITIONING: REFRIGERANT: ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION ).

(b) Read the manifold gauge pressure when the following conditions are established.

(1) Prepare the vehicle in accordance with the chart below.

Refrigerant Pressure

Low pressure side

150 to 250 kPa (1.5 to 2.5 kg/cm2, 22 to 36 psi)

High pressure side

1370 to 1570 kPa (14.0 to 16.0 kg/cm2, 199 to 228 psi)

HINT:

Pressure varies in accordance with certain conditions such as outside air temperature, sunlight and wind.
