                        | Title: HEATING / AIR CONDITIONING: AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM (for Gasoline Model): B1449; Air Outlet Damper Control Servo Motor Circuit (Rear); 2019 - 2022 MY Avalon [04/2018 -        ] |  
                     
                        
                           | DTC | B1449 | Air Outlet Damper Control Servo Motor Circuit (Rear) |  DESCRIPTIONThe No. 2 air conditioning radiator damper servo sub-assembly sends pulse signals to inform the air conditioning amplifier assembly of the damper position. The air conditioning amplifier assembly activates the motor (normal or reverse) based on these signals to move the air outlet damper to the appropriate position, which controls the rear air outlet switching. The air conditioning amplifier assembly communicates with the servo through a communication/driver IC and wiring assembly called the air conditioning harness assembly.

Confirm that no mechanical problems are present because this DTC can be stored when either a damper link or damper is mechanically locked.
When installing a damper servo motor, make sure to install it correctly.
