DTC B1423: Open in Pressure Sensor Circuit / Abnormal Refrigerant Pressure [11/2018 - 02/2019]: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

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 pressure sensor, which is installed to 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.
