AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:B1461/61

DTC Code DTC Name
B1461/61 Emission Gas NOx Sensor Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The smog ventilation sensor, which is installed on the front of the cooler condenser assembly, automatically changes to fresh, fresh/recirculation or recirculation mode operation. The smog ventilation sensor detects NOx in the emission gas and transmits signals to the air conditioning amplifier assembly.

DTC Code DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
B1461/61 An open or short in the smog ventilation sensor circuit (NOx).

  • Smog ventilation sensor

  • Harness or connector

  • Air conditioning amplifier assembly
