DTC B1423/23 Pressure Sensor Circuit |
DESCRIPTION
This DTC is output when refrigerant pressure is extremely low (0.19 MPa (2.0 kgf/cm2, 28 psi) or less) or extremely high (3.14 MPa (32.0 kgf/cm2, 455 psi) or more). The pressure sensor, which is installed on the pipe of the high pressure side to detect refrigerant pressure, outputs a refrigerant pressure signal to the A/C amplifier. The A/C amplifier converts this signal to pressure according to the sensor characteristics to control the compressor.- HINT:
- Be sure to check the refrigerant volume first when this DTC is output because this DTC can also be output if there is no refrigerant in the system.
DTC No.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1.CHECK REFRIGERANT PRESSURE |
Install the manifold gauge set (CAMRY_ACV40 RM000001147007X_01_0002.html).
Read the manifold gauge pressure when the following conditions are established.
Prepare the vehicle according to the chart below.

- Standard pressure:
- Low pressure side:
- 0.15 to 0.25 MPa (1.5 to 2.5 kgf/cm2, 21.3 to 35.6 psi)
- High pressure side:
- 1.37 to 1.57 MPa (14 to 16 kgf/cm2, 199 to 228 psi)
2.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (PRESSURE SENSOR - A/C AMPLIFIER) |
Disconnect the pressure sensor connector.
Disconnect the A/C amplifier connector.
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
- Standard resistance:

3.INSPECT PRESSURE SENSOR |
Install the manifold gauge set (CAMRY_ACV40 RM000001147007X_01_0002.html).
Connect the three 1.5 V dry cell batterie's positive (+) lead to terminal 3, and the negative (-) lead to terminal 1. Then connect the voltmeter's positive (+) lead to terminal 2, and the negative (-) lead to terminal 1. Measure the voltage.
- OK:
- The voltage changes according to refrigerant pressure, as shown in the graph.
