    Can anyone tell me what climate control error code 97 and 98 mean?

    My AC stopped working and I assumed the compressor was dead since it has 263000 miles on it but a new compressor didn't change anything. I did the trick to get the ac codes and it's flashing 97 and 98. I can't find these anywhere.

    Those can be found in the repair manual.

    Toyota Service Information and Where To Find It | PriusChat

    They are trouble codes B1497 and B1498. B1497 is about the electrical bus harness that links the A/C amplifier to the three servos that control different air doors in the heater case (the fresh/recirc inlet, the temperature blend, and the outlet select).

    B1498 is about the circuits that connect the A/C amplifier to the A/C compressor.

    There are around three pages of troubleshooting steps for B1497, and about nine pages for B1498, in the manual.
