DESCRIPTION

  • B1441: The No. 1 air conditioning radiator damper servo sub-assembly (front passenger side air mix) 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 No. 1 air conditioning radiator damper servo sub-assembly (front passenger side air mix) to the appropriate position. This adjusts the amount of air passing through the heater core after passing the evaporator and controls the temperature of the output air. The air conditioning amplifier assembly communicates with the servo through a communication/driver IC and wiring assembly called the air conditioning harness assembly.
  • B1446: The No. 1 air conditioning radiator damper servo sub-assembly (driver side air mix) 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 No. 1 air conditioning radiator damper servo sub-assembly (driver side air mix) to the appropriate 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 driver side is controlled. The air conditioning amplifier assembly communicates with the servo through a communication/driver IC and wiring assembly called the air conditioning harness assembly.
  • B1448: The No. 1 air conditioning radiator damper servo sub-assembly (front passenger side mode) 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 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.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

HINT:

  • 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.
