AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:B1476/76

DTC Code DTC Name
B1476/76 A/C Inverter Load System Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

The compressor with motor assembly stops compressor control and outputs this DTC if the rotation load is too large or too small while controlling motor rotation in the compressor with motor assembly.

Possible causes are refrigerant gas leakage, overcharged refrigerant gas, insufficient cooling because of a condenser fan circuit malfunction, or compressor lock.

DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
B1476/76 Motor rotation load while the compressor is operating is too large or too small.

  • Refrigerant volume


  • Compressor with motor assembly


  • Cooling fan system

  • CAN communication system

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

CAUTION:


  • Wear electrically insulated gloves and pull out the service plug grip before inspection as procedures may require disconnecting high-voltage connectors. Be sure to carry the removed service plug grip because other workers may install it by mistake.

  • Do not touch the high-voltage connectors or terminals for 10 minutes after the service plug grip is removed.

Note

The hybrid control system and air conditioning system output DTCs separately. Inspect DTCs following the flow chart for the hybrid control system first if any DTCs from those systems are output simultaneously.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM


    1. Using the intelligent tester to check if the CAN communication system is functioning normally.
