DTC B1423/23: Pressure Sensor Circuit: Description

This DTC is output if refrigerant pressure on the high pressure side is extremely low (0.176 MPa (2.0 kgf/cm² , 28 psi) or less) or extremely high (3.03 MPa (32.0 kgf/cm² , 455 psi) or more). The pressure sensor, which is installed on the pipe of the high pressure side to detect refrigerant pressure, outputs a refrigerant pressure signal to the Air Conditioning amplifier. The Air Conditioning amplifier converts this signal to pressure according to the sensor characteristics to control the compressor.
