This DTC is stored if refrigerant pressure on the high pressure side is extremely low (0.176 MPaG (1.8 kgf/cm2, 26 psi) or less) or extremely high (3.025 MPaG (30.8 kgf/cm2, 439 psi) or more). The air conditioner pressure sensor, which is installed to the high pressure side pipe to detect refrigerant pressure, sends a refrigerant pressure signal to the air conditioning amplifier assembly. The air conditioning amplifier assembly converts this signal to a pressure value according to the sensor characteristics and uses it to control the compressor.

Be sure to check the refrigerant volume first when this DTC is output because this DTC can also be stored if there is no refrigerant in the cycle.
If DTC B1423 and B14B8 are output at the same time, troubleshoot for DTC B14B8 first.
Make sure that the connector is properly connected. If it is not, securely connect it and check for DTCs again.
