The air conditioning amplifier assembly outputs the magnet clutch on request signal to the ECM. The ECM sends a magnet clutch on permission signal to the air conditioning amplifier assembly. The air conditioning amplifier assembly turns the magnet clutch on based on this signal.
| Malfunction Status | Factor |
|---|---|
| Refrigerant pressure does not decrease when A/C switch is off. | Compressor with magnet clutch assembly circuit malfunction |
Inspect the relays for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
If DTC B1422 is output at the same time, troubleshoot for DTC B1422 first.
Using the GTS, check if the CAN communication system is functioning normally.
CAN communication system DTCs are not output.
