AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:B14A3

DTC Code DTC Name
B14A3 Front Passenger Side Solar Sensor Short Circuit

DESCRIPTION

A01FDPLE01

The automatic light control sensor is installed on the upper side of the instrument panel. It detects sunlight to control air conditioning AUTO mode. The output voltage from the automatic light control sensor varies in accordance with the amount of sunlight. When the sunlight increases, the output voltage increases. As the sunlight decreases, the output voltage decreases. The air conditioning amplifier assembly detects changes in the output voltage from the automatic light control sensor.

DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
B14A3 Short in passenger side automatic light control sensor circuit

  • Automatic light control sensor

  • Harness or connector

  • Main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU)

  • 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.

  • If the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) is replaced, refer to Service Bulletin.

  • 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 (SOLAR SENSOR [P SIDE])


    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.
