DTC B1423: Open in Pressure Sensor Circuit / Abnormal Refrigerant Pressure [12/2019 - 11/2023]: 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 (196 kPaG (2.0 kgf/cm2 , 28 psi) or less) or extremely high (2812 kPaG (28.7 kgf/cm2 , 408 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.
