AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:B1451/51

DTC Code DTC Name
B1451/51 Compressor Solenoid Circuit

DESCRIPTION

In this circuit, the compressor receives a refrigerant compression demand signal from the air conditioning amplifier.

Based on this signal, the compressor changes the degree of refrigerant compression.

DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
B1451/51 Open or short in solenoid of externally changeable compressor circuit
  • Compressor and pulley

  • Harness and connector air conditioning amplifier and compressor and pulley

  • Air conditioning amplifier
