DTC B1479 Flow Sensor Circuit


DESCRIPTION

The A/C flow sensor, which is mounted on the compressor assembly with pulley, is used to detect the amount of refrigerant flow. The A/C flow sensor converts the amount of refrigerant flow that is detected to a voltage value to send it to the A/C amplifier. The voltage value sent from the A/C flow sensor changes depending on the amount of refrigerant flow. As the amount of refrigerant flow becomes larger, the voltage becomes lower. As the amount of refrigerant flow becomes smaller, the voltage becomes higher. The A/C amplifier supplies 5 V to the A/C flow sensor and monitors change in the voltage value sent from the A/C flow sensor. The A/C amplifier then sends a signal to the ECM via CAN communication to allow the ECM to control the engine speed while the air conditioning is on.

3.REPLACE COMPRESSOR ASSEMBLY WITH PULLEY (A/C FLOW SENSOR)

  1. Replace the compressor assembly with pulley (A/C flow sensor) (COROLLA_ZRE142 RM000002XUM022X.html).

    HINT:
    Since the compressor assembly with pulley (A/C flow sensor) cannot be inspected while it is removed from the vehicle, replace the compressor assembly with pulley (A/C flow sensor) with a new or a known good one and check that the condition returns to normal.

  1. Check for the DTC.

    Result:
