DTC B1423: Pressure Sensor Circuit [12/2013 - 11/2016]: Description

This DTC is stored if refrigerant pressure on the high pressure side is extremely low (176 kPa (1.8 kgf/cm2 , 26 psi) or less) or extremely high (3025 kPa (30.8 kgf/cm2 , 439 psi) or more). The air conditioner tube and accessory assembly, which is installed on the high pressure side pipe to detect refrigerant pressure, sends a refrigerant pressure signal to the air conditioning amplifier assembly. The air conditioning amplifier assembly converts this signal to a pressure value according to the sensor characteristics and uses it to control the compressor.
