Toyota CH-R Service Manual: Refrigerant Shortage (B14B8)

DESCRIPTION

This DTC is stored if the amount of refrigerant in the air conditioning system is insufficient.

The air conditioning amplifier assembly receives the ambient temperature signal, refrigerant pressure signal, etc. from various sensors.

Based on these signals, the air conditioning amplifier assembly detects the amount of refrigerant.

The A/C switch indicator is turned off and the air conditioning system is stopped if the amount of refrigerant is insufficient.

DTC No.

NOTICE:

  • If refrigerant pressure on the high pressure side becomes extremely high during the inspection (if the voltage exceeds 4.61 V), the fail-safe function stops compressor operation. Therefore, measure the voltage before the fail-safe operation.
  • It is necessary to measure the voltage for a certain amount of time (approximately 10 minutes) because the malfunction may recur after a while.

HINT:

When the outside air temperature is low (below -1.5°C (29.3°F)), the compressor stops due to operation of the thermistor assembly and the No. 1 cooler thermistor to prevent the evaporator from freezing. In this case, perform the inspection in a warm indoor environment.
