Title: HEATING / AIR CONDITIONING: AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM (for Gasoline Model): B1422; Compressor Lock; 2019 - 2022 MY Avalon [04/2018 -        ]

DTC

B1422

Compressor Lock

DESCRIPTION

The ECM sends the engine speed signal to the air conditioning amplifier assembly via CAN communication.

The air conditioning amplifier assembly reads the difference between compressor speed and engine speed. If the difference becomes excessively large, the air conditioning amplifier assembly determines that the compressor is locked, and turns the magnet clutch assembly off.

DTC No.
