DTC 23 Pressure Switch Circuit |
DESCRIPTION
The air conditioner pressure sensor turns off when the air conditioning refrigerant pressure extremely (0.196 MPa [2.0 kgf/cm2], 28 psi] or less) or extremely high (3.14 MPa [32.0 kgf/cm2, 455 psi] or more). When the air conditioning amplifier assembly detects the off state of the air conditioner pressure sensor, the air conditioning amplifier assembly outputs signals to the magnet clutch relay to turn the magnet clutch off.DTC Code

23
| When either condition below is met:
- An open in air conditioner pressure sensor circuit
- Abnormal refrigerant pressure:
- 0.196 MPa (2.0 kgf/cm2, 28 psi) or less
- 3.14 MPa (32.0 kgf/cm2, 455 psi) or high
| - Air conditioner tube & accessory assembly (air conditioner pressure sensor)
- Refrigerant and refrigerant pipe line
- Air conditioning amplifier assembly
- Harness or connector

WIRING DIAGRAM
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1.CHECK REFRIGERANT PRESSURE |
Install a manifold gauge.
Check refrigerant pressure (HILUX_TGN26 RM000001R8Z02GX.html).
- Standard pressure:
- Pressure on high-pressure side
- 1.37 to 1.57 MPa (13.9 to 16.0 kgf/cm2, 198 to 228 psi)
- HINT:
- If the refrigerant pressure is below 0.196 MPa (2.0 kgf/cm2, 28 psi), the refrigerant amount in the air conditioning cycle may have decreased significantly due to gas leakage or other problems.
| CHECK REFRIGERANT AND REFRIGERANT PIPE LINE |
|
|
2.CHECK AIR CONDITIONING OPERATION |
Disconnect the A16 air conditioner pressure sensor connector.
Check the air conditioning operation.
- OK:

3.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (PRESSURE SENSOR - AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER AND BODY GROUND) |
Disconnect the A16 air conditioner pressure sensor connector.
Disconnect the G95 air conditioning amplifier assembly connector.
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
- Standard Resistance:
