AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:B1473/73

DTC Code DTC Name
B1473/73 A/C Inverter Start-up Signal System Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

The inverter activation signal is sent to the compressor with motor assembly from the power management control ECU. Compressor control is stopped and the DTC is stored if there is an open or short in the signal circuit.

DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
B1473/73 Open or short in A/C inverter start-up signal system.

  • Harness or connector between power management control ECU and compressor with motor assembly

  • Compressor with motor assembly

  • Power management control ECU

  • Hybrid control 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, check if the CAN communication system is functioning normally.

      Result
      Result Proceed to
      CAN DTC is not output A
      CAN DTC is output B

  2. CHECK DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE


    1. Check if DTCs for the air conditioning system and the hybrid control system are output using the intelligent tester.

      Result
      Result Proceed to
      Only DTC B1473 is output A
      DTCs B1473 and P3108 are output simultaneously (B1498 is not output)
      DTCs B1473 and B1498 are output simultaneously (P3108 is not output) B
      DTCs B1473, B1498 and P3108 are output simultaneously
      DTCs other than P3108 are output for hybrid control system C

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (POWER MANAGEMENT CONTROL ECU - COMPRESSOR WITH MOTOR)

    CAUTION:

    Do not disconnect the connector on the high-voltage side.


    1. A003TVRE20

      Disconnect the A98 connector from the power management control ECU.

    2. A003SQ2E16

      Disconnect the B135 connector from the compressor with motor assembly.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A98-20 (STB) - B135-4 (STBI) Always Below 1 Ω
      A98-20 (STB) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
