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 No. 2 air conditioning radiator damper servo sub-assembly (front passenger side air mix damper servo) 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 the signals to move the air mix damper (for front passenger side) to any position. As a result, the air mix damper (for front passenger side) varies the mixture of hot air from the heater core and cold air from the evaporator so that the temperature of the air blowing toward the front passenger side is as requested.

HINT
Confirm that no mechanical problem is present because this trouble code may be stored when either a damper link or damper is mechanically locked.

Result





C -- PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR MIX DAMPER SERVO)

B -- REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY Removal

A -- PROCEED TO NEXT SUSPECTED AREA SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures

2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR MIX DAMPER SERVO)

(a) Select the Active Test, use the Techstream to generate a control command, and then check that the No. 2 air conditioning radiator damper servo sub-assembly (front passenger side air mix damper servo) operates Scan Tool Testing and Procedures.

Air Conditioner





OK:

No. 2 air conditioning radiator damper servo sub-assembly (front passenger side air mix damper servo) operates normally.

NG -- REPLACE NO. 2 AIR CONDITIONING RADIATOR DAMPER SERVO SUB-ASSEMBLY (FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR MIX DAMPER SERVO)

OK -- REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY Removal

3. REPLACE NO. 2 AIR CONDITIONING RADIATOR DAMPER SERVO SUB-ASSEMBLY (FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR MIX DAMPER SERVO)

(a) Replace the No. 2 air conditioning radiator damper servo sub-assembly (front passenger side air mix damper servo) Disassembly.

HINT
Since the No. 2 air conditioning radiator damper servo sub-assembly (front passenger side air mix damper servo) cannot be inspected while it is removed from the vehicle, replace the No. 2 air conditioning radiator damper servo sub-assembly (front passenger side air mix damper servo) with a new or normally functioning one.

NEXT -- Continue to next step.
