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

DESCRIPTION

The operation of the compressor with motor assembly is stopped and a DTC B1476/76 is stored if the rotation load is too large or too small while the compressor with motor assembly is operating.

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

DTC Code DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
B1476/76 Motor rotation load while the compressor is operating is too large or too small.

  • Cooling fan system

  • Refrigerant volume

  • Compressor with motor assembly

  • CAN communication system

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Note

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 Click here.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM


    1. Use the GTS to check if the CAN communication system is functioning normally.
