Title: HEATING / AIR CONDITIONING: AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM (for Gasoline Model with Manual Air Conditioning System): B143B7F; Air Inlet Damper Control Servo Motor Actuator Stuck Off; 2023 - 2025 MY Corolla Corolla Hatchback GR Corolla [11/2022 -        ]

DTC

B143B7F

Air Inlet Damper Control Servo Motor Actuator Stuck Off

DESCRIPTION

The No. 1 blower 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 No. 1 blower damper servo sub-assembly to the appropriate position to change the air inlet mode (fresh, recirculation/fresh, and recirculation).

DTC No.
