Title: HEATING / AIR CONDITIONING: AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM (for TMC Made, and Gasoline Model, with Manual Air Conditioning System for Electrical Control Type): P05347A; Refrigerant Gas Fluid Leak or Seal Failure; 2023 MY Corolla Corolla Hatchback GR Corolla [09/2022 - 11/2022]

DTC

P05347A

Refrigerant Gas Fluid Leak or Seal Failure

DESCRIPTION

This DTC is stored if the amount of refrigerant in the air conditioning system is insufficient.

The air conditioning amplifier assembly receives the ambient temperature signal, refrigerant pressure signal, etc. from various sensors.

Based on these signals, the air conditioning amplifier assembly detects the amount of refrigerant.

The A/C switch indicator is turned off and the air conditioning system is stopped if the amount of refrigerant is insufficient.

DTC No.

INSPECT AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY (SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT)

NOTICE:

  • If refrigerant pressure on the high pressure side becomes extremely high, the fail-safe function stops compressor operation.
  • It is necessary to measure the voltage for a certain amount of time (approximately 10 minutes) because the malfunction may recur after a while.

HINT:

When the outside air temperature is low (below -1.5°C (29.3°F)), the compressor stops due to operation of the ambient temp. sensor (thermistor assembly) and the evaporator temp. sensor (No. 1 cooler thermistor) to prevent the evaporator from freezing. In this case, perform the inspection in a warm indoor environment.

(a) Connect the I48 air conditioning amplifier assembly connector.

(b) Connect the A61 air conditioning pressure sensor connector.
