        HINT: 

        Refer to INSPECTION MODE PROCEDURE [10/2022 - ]

      2. Prepare the vehicle according to the table below for 30 minutes or more.
        Item Condition
        Blower Speed HI
        A/C Switch On
        Set Temperature MAX COLD
    • Check for DTCs.

      Body Electrical > Air Conditioner > Trouble Codes 

      NOTE:

      If the engine keeps idling when the ambient temperature is high, the compressor with motor assembly may automatically stop to protect the inverter circuit, and DTC B1474-4B may be stored.

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      B1474-4B is not output A
      B1474-4B is output B

    Post-procedure1

    • None

    Result: 

    USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK. Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [10/2022 - ] 

    Result: 

    REPLACE COMPRESSOR WITH MOTOR ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL [08/2023 - ]
