Air Conditioning System (For Automatic Air Conditioning System)





HEATING / AIR CONDITIONING: AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM (for Automatic Air Conditioning System): B1449/49: Rear Air Outlet Damper Control Servo Motor Circuit
B1449/49 - Rear Air Outlet Damper Control Servo Motor Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The rear air outlet control servo motor sends pulse signals to indicate the damper position to the air conditioning amplifier. The air conditioning amplifier activates the motor (normal or reverse) based on these signals to move the rear air outlet damper to any position, which controls the air outlet modes.

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

HINT
Confirm that there are no mechanical problems because this DTC can be output when either a damper link or the damper is mechanically locked.
