AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:B1492

DTC Code DTC Name
B1492 Communication Malfunction (IR Sensor)

DESCRIPTION

The infrared ray sensor, which is installed on the rear roof, detects human body temperature and controls the heater and air conditioner "AUTO" mode in 4 zones. Signals are transmitted to the air conditioning amplifier via the LIN communication line. This DTC is output when the temperature of the physical object is detected as -30°C (-22°F) or less, or 80°C (176°F) or more for 10 seconds or more.

Note

Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MAP LIGHT ASSEMBLY - BATTERY AND BODY GROUND)


    1. Disconnect the map light assembly connector.

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      N7-22 (GND) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω

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

      Standard Voltage
      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      N9-1 (IG) - Body ground Engine switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V
      Engine switch off Below 1 V
      Result
      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    NG

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

    OK

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MAP LIGHT ASSEMBLY - AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY)


    1. Disconnect the N9 map light assembly connector.

    2. Disconnect the G65 air conditioning amplifier assembly connector.

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      N9-7 (LIN) - G65-16 (LIN3) Always Below 1 Ω
      N9-7 (LIN) or G65-16 (LIN3) - Other terminals and body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      Result
      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    NG

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

    OK

  3. CHECK AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY (OUTPUT SIGNAL)
