HEATING / AIR CONDITIONING: AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM: B1441/41: Air Mix Damper Control Servo Motor Circuit (Passenger Side)
B1441/41 - Air Mix Damper Control Servo Motor Circuit (Passenger Side)

DESCRIPTION

The air mix control servo motor sends pulse signals to indicate the damper position to the A/C amplifier. The A/C amplifier activates the motor (normal or reverse) based on these signals to move the air mix damper (front passenger side) 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 blown air.

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

HINT
Confirm that no mechanical problem is present because this diagnostic code can be output when either a damper link or the damper is mechanically locked.

OK:

The display is as specified in the normal condition column.

Result:





C -- REPLACE A/C AMPLIFIER Removal

B -- PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures
A -- Continue to next step.

2. INSPECT AIR MIX CONTROL SERVO MOTOR

(a) Replace the air mix control servo motor Disassembly.

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

(b) Check for the DTC.

Result:





B -- REPLACE AIR MIX CONTROL SERVO MOTOR Disassembly
A -- Continue to next step.

3. INSPECT AIR CONDITIONING HARNESS

(a) Replace the air conditioning harness Disassembly.

HINT
Since the air conditioning harness cannot be inspected while it is removed from the vehicle, replace the air conditioning harness with a known good one and check that the condition returns to normal.

(b) Check for the DTC.

Result:





B -- REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING HARNESS Disassembly

A -- REPLACE A/C AMPLIFIER Removal
