Title: HEATING / AIR CONDITIONING: AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM (for Gasoline Model with Automatic Air Conditioning System): B145B7F; Front Right Air Mix Damper Control Servo Motor Actuator Stuck Off; 2023 - 2025 MY Corolla Corolla Hatchback GR Corolla [11/2022 -        ]

DTC

B145B7F

Front Right Air Mix Damper Control Servo Motor Actuator Stuck Off

DESCRIPTION

The No. 1 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 air outlet switching.

DTC No.
