DTC

B1447/47

Rear Air Mix Damper Control Servo Motor Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The rear air mix control servo motor sends pulse signals to indicate the damper position to the air conditioning amplifier. The air conditioning amplifier activates the motor (normal or reverse) based on these signals to move the rear air mix damper to any position. As a result, the amount of air passing through the heater core after passing through the evaporator is adjusted, and the temperature of the air blowing toward the rear is controlled.

The air conditioning amplifier communicates with the servo through a communication/driver IC and wiring assembly called the rear air conditioning harness.

HINT:

Confirm that there are no mechanical problems because this DTC can be output when either a damper link or the damper is mechanically locked.

4.

INSPECT REAR AIR MIX CONTROL SERVO MOTOR

(a) Replace the rear air mix control servo motor (See page 2016 - 2020 MY Sienna [12/2015 -        ]; HEATING / AIR CONDITIONING: REAR AIR CONDITIONING UNIT: DISASSEMBLY ).

HINT:

Since the rear air mix control servo motor cannot be inspected while it is removed from the vehicle, replace the rear air mix control servo motor with a new or a known good one and check that the condition returns to normal.

(b) Check for the DTC.
