DTC P0EC9-71: A/C Low Pressure Magnetic Valve Actuator Stuck [08/2023 - ]: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2025 Lexus RX 450h+ and 2024 Lexus RX 450h+. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The low pressure magnetic valve (No. 1 magnet valve assembly) is installed to the No. 2 air conditioner tube and accessory assembly and is open when the ignition switch is turned off. When the ignition switch is turned to ON, the low pressure magnetic valve (No. 1 magnet valve assembly) opens and closes according to heat pump air conditioning control.

During battery cooling, if the low pressure magnetic valve (No. 1 magnet valve assembly) is stuck open, the amount of refrigerant flowing to the battery is reduced and battery cooling functionality decreases.
