AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:B1451/51

DTC Code DTC Name
B1451/51 Compressor Solenoid Circuit

DESCRIPTION

In this circuit, the cooler compressor assembly receives a refrigerant compression demand signal from the air conditioning amplifier assembly. the solenoid valve is installed in the cooler compressor assembly.

Based on this signal, the cooler compressor assembly changes the amount of compressor output.

DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
B1451/51 Open or short in compressor solenoid circuit
  • Cooler compressor assembly

  • Harness or connector

  • Air conditioning amplifier assembly

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Note


  • When the battery is disconnected or the air conditioning amplifier assembly is replaced, be sure to perform servo motor initialization Click here.

  • Before disconnecting the cable form the negative (-) battery terminal or replacing the air conditioning amplifier assembly, record the last operation state of the air conditioning for each transmitter. After replacement, it is necessary to perform memory registration for each transmitter Click here.

PROCEDURE


  1. READ VALUE USING GTS (REGULAR CONTROL CURRENT)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

    3. Turn the GTS on.

    4. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Air Conditioner / Data List Click here.

    5. Check the value(s) by referring to the table below.
