DTC C1761: Continuous Current to Compressor Motor [08/2021 - ]: Procedure

1. Ask the customer about the vehicle and usage conditions when the DTC was stored.

   HINT: 

   DTC C1761 can be stored under unusual vehicle or usage conditions.

   Points to confirm

   Confirm if there were any foreign objects caught between the body and tires. Confirm if the vehicle has been driven on an unpaved surface or with a wheel not contacting the ground. Confirm if the vehicle has been raised with an excess load. Confirm if the vehicle height mode has been continuously changed using the height control switch (center cluster module switch RH), causing the vehicle to raise and lower repeatedly.

2. Apply 12 V battery voltage to the compressor motor and check the operation of the motor.

   OK

   Measurement Condition	Specified Condition
   12 V battery positive (+) voltage → Terminal 1 (B) 12 V battery negative (-) voltage → Terminal 2 (E)	Motor operates

   NOTE:

   • Do not allow the compressor motor to operate for approximately 90 seconds or more.
   • If the compressor is shorted, locked or has a similar type of malfunction, a large amount of current is flowing. Therefore, if the motor does not operate, immediately stop this inspection.
