DTC B1473/73: A/C Inverter Start-up Signal System Malfunction [10/2015 - ]: Procedure

  1. CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM 
    1. Using the Techstream, check if the CAN communication system is functioning normally.

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      CAN DTCs are not output A
      CAN DTCs are output B

    Result: 

    GO TO CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM 

    w/ Central Gateway ECU: Refer to HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [10/2015 - ]

    w/o Central Gateway ECU: Refer to HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [10/2015 - ]

    Result: 

    See step  2

  2. CHECK DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE 
    1. Check if DTCs for the air conditioning system and the hybrid control system are output using the Techstream.

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      Only DTC B1473/73 is output A
      DTCs B1473/73 and P3108 are output simultaneously (B1498/98 is not output)
      DTCs B1473/73 and B1498/98 are output simultaneously (P3108 is not output) B
      DTCs B1473/73, B1498/98 and P3108 are output simultaneously
      DTCs other than P3108 are output for hybrid control system C

    Result: 

    GO TO DTC B1498/98 

    (Refer to DTC B1498/98: Communication Malfunction (A/C Inverter Local) [10/2015 - ] )

    Result: 

    GO TO HYBRID CONTROL SYSTEM 

    (Refer to HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [10/2014 - ] )

    Result: 

    See step  3

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL ECU ASSEMBLY - COMPRESSOR WITH MOTOR) 
    WARNING:

    Do not disconnect the connector on the high-voltage side.

    1. Disconnect the A54 hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly connector.
    2. Disconnect the B58 compressor with motor assembly connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A54-11 (STB) - B58-4 (STBI) Always Below 1 Ω
      A54-11 (STB) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  4

  4. INSPECT COMPRESSOR WITH MOTOR ASSEMBLY 
    1. Reconnect the B58 compressor with motor assembly connector.
    2. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
