Lexus NX: A/C Inverter Cooling / Heating System Malfunction (B1475)
DESCRIPTION
The temperature sensor of the compressor with motor assembly detects the A/C inverter temperature.
If the temperature exceeds the maximum, operation of the compressor with motor assembly will be stopped, and this DTC will be stored.
| DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | Memory | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| B1475 | A/C Inverter Cooling / Heating System Malfunction | Temperature of the A/C inverter is outside the specified range (temperature is too high), or there is an open or short to ground in the temperature sensor circuit |
| Memorized | - |
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
CAUTION:
- Wear insulated gloves and pull out the service plug grip before inspection as procedures may require disconnecting high-voltage connectors. Carry the removed service plug in your pocket to prevent other technicians from accidentally reconnecting it while you are servicing the vehicle.
- Do not touch the high-voltage connectors or terminals for 10 minutes after the service plug grip is removed.
NOTICE:
-
After the power switch is turned off, there may be a waiting time before disconnecting the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.
