AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM(for Automatic Air Conditioning System with Top-mounted Air Conditioner Pressure Sensor), Diagnostic DTC:B14B9

DTC Code DTC Name
B14B9 Open in Ion Generator Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The ion generator sub-assembly operates when both the ion generator switch and the blower switch are on. The air conditioning amplifier assembly sends a drive signal to the ion generator sub-assembly. When the ion generator sub-assembly receives the drive signal and starts to operate, it outputs an operation condition signal to the air conditioning amplifier assembly.
