Possible causes are refrigerant leaks, overcharged refrigerant, 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

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

CAUTION:


  • Wear insulated gloves and pull out the service plug grip before inspection as procedures may require disconnecting high-voltage connectors. Carry the removed service plug in your pocket to prevent other technicians from accidentally reconnecting it while you are servicing the vehicle.

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

Note


  • After turning the ignition switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal notices before proceeding with work Click here.

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

PROCEDURE
