Toyota Corolla Cross: Refrigerant Gas Fluid Leak or Seal Failure (P05347A)

Toyota Corolla Cross (2022-2024) Service Manual / Vehicle Interior / Heating / Air Conditioning / Air Conditioning System (for Gasoline Model With Automatic Air Conditioning System) / Refrigerant Gas Fluid Leak or Seal Failure (P05347A)

DESCRIPTION

This DTC is stored if the amount of refrigerant in the air conditioning system is insufficient.

The air conditioning amplifier assembly receives the ambient temperature signal, refrigerant pressure signal, etc. from various sensors.

Based on these signals, the air conditioning amplifier assembly detects the amount of refrigerant.

If the amount of refrigerant is insufficient, the A/C switch indicator will turn off and the air conditioning system will stop operating.

DTC No.

INSPECT AIR CONDITIONER PRESSURE SENSOR (SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT)

NOTICE:

  • If refrigerant pressure on the high pressure side becomes extremely high during the inspection (if the voltage exceeds 4.61 V), a fail-safe function will stop compressor operation. In this case, make sure to measure the voltage before the fail-safe function operates.
  • It is necessary to measure the voltage for a certain amount of time (approximately 10 minutes) because the malfunction may recur after a while.

(a) Connect the air conditioning amplifier assembly connector.

When the ambient air temperature is low (below -1.5°C (29.3°F)), the compressor with pulley assembly will be stopped, due to inputs of the thermistor assembly and No. 1 cooler thermistor, to prevent the evaporator from freezing. In this case, perform the inspection in a warm indoor environment.

OK:

The voltage value changes.
