AIR CONDITIONING: AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM: B1473: A/C Inverter Start-up Signal System Malfunction

DTC B1473 - A/C Inverter Start-up Signal System Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

The inverter activation signal is sent to the A/C inverter from the hybrid control ECU. Compressor control is stopped and the DTC is output if there is an open or short in the signal circuit.





NOTE: The A/C inverter is integrated with the inverter with converter. It is necessary to replace the PCU box if the A/C inverter (inverter with converter) needs to be replaced because the A/C inverter (inverter with converter) cannot be replaced alone.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE
(a) Check if DTCs for the hybrid control system are output using Techstream.
OK:
DTCs are not output in the hybrid control system.
NG -- GO TO HYBRID CONTROL SYSTEM
OK -- Continue to next step.

2. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (HYBRID CONTROL ECU - A/C INVERTER)




(a) Disconnect the H15 ECU connector.
(b) Disconnect the I11 inverter connector.
(c) Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.
Standard resistance:






NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR
OK -- REPLACE A/C INVERTER
