DTC B1423/23 Pressure Switch Circuit

DESCRIPTION

DTC Detecting Condition:

The A/C pressure switch to detect the refrigerant pressure is located in the sight glass side of the pipe on the high-pressure side. This DTC is output when the refrigerant pressure is either significantly low (below 196 kPa (2.0 kgf/sq.cm, 28 psi) or significantly high (over 3,140 kPa (32.0 kgf/sq.cm, 455 psi). Then the A/C pressure switch has built-in switches to detect high and low pressure and is turned off when either of them is determined to be detective. The A/C amplifier assembly continuously monitors the pressure switch signal after the ignition switch is turned on. It stops compressor control and outputs the DTC when it detects the signal indicating that the switch is turned off.
