B2442-11 Discharge Refrigerant Temp Sensor Ground Fault
 
 
cautionBefore replacing the ECU, ensure that the CAN bus lines is normal.
 
 
TROUBLE JUDGMENT
Check Condition
  • The power supply mode of the electric motor switch is ON (READY indicator: ON) or the drive battery is being charged.
Judgment Criterion
  • The low input of the A/C compressor outlet temperature sensor signal is detected for 4 seconds or more.
 
 
PROBABLE CAUSES
  • Malfunction of harness and connectors
  • Malfunction of A/C compressor outlet temperature sensor
  • Malfunction of PHEV A/C amp.
 
 
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
1.Voltage measurement at A/C compressor outlet temperature sensor connector (terminal No.1)
(1) Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
(2) Change the power supply mode of the electric motor switch to ON (READY indicator: ON).
(3) Measure the voltage between the A/C compressor outlet temperature sensor connector (terminal No.1) and body ground.
OK : About 5 V
Is the inspection result normal?
 
2.Check of short to ground circuit in T_DCG line between PHEV A/C amp. and A/C compressor outlet temperature sensor
(1) Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
(2) Check the continuity between the PHEV A/C amp. connector (T_DCG terminal) and body ground.
OK : No continuity
Is the inspection result normal?
Repair harness or connector.
 
3.Check the A/C compressor outlet temperature sensor
Check the A/C compressor outlet temperature sensor. Refer to A/C COMPRESSOR OUTLET TEMPERATURE SENSOR INSPECTION.
Is the inspection result normal?
Replace A/C compressor outlet temperature sensor. Refer to REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION.
 
4.Check whether the DTC is set again.
(1) Erase the set DTC.
(2) Change the power supply mode of the electric motor switch to OFF.
(3) Wait for 2 minutes or more in key lock condition. (Check that the P indicator on the selector lever turns off.)
(4) Change the power supply mode of the electric motor switch to ON (READY indicator: ON).
(5) Check whether the DTC is set again.
Is the DTC set?
Replace PHEV A/C amp. Refer to Removal and Installation.
The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction. Refer to General Information - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points, How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions HOW TO COPE WITH INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTIONS.
