Lexus NX: A/C Inverter Load System Malfunction (B1476)
DESCRIPTION
The operation of the compressor with motor assembly is stopped and this DTC is stored if the rotation load is too large or too small while the compressor with motor assembly is operating.
Possible causes are refrigerant leaks, overcharged refrigerant, insufficient cooling due to a condenser fan circuit malfunction, or compressor lock.

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.
