Air Conditioning System (For Manual Air Conditioning System)

HEATING / AIR CONDITIONING: AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM (for Manual Air Conditioning System): B1443: Air Outlet Damper Control Servo Motor Circuit

DTC B1443 - Air Outlet Damper Control Servo Motor Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The air outlet 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 mode damper to any position, which controls the air outlet switching.
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 DTC can be output when either a damper link or the damper is mechanically locked.

Air Conditioner





OK:
The display is as specified in the Normal Condition column.
Result:





C -- REPLACE A/C AMPLIFIER
B -- PROCEED TO NEXT SUSPECTED AREA SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
A -- Continue to next step.

2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(c) Turn the Techstream on.
(d) Enter the following menus: Body / Air Conditioner / Active Test.
(e) Check the operation by referring to the table below.

Air Conditioner





OK:
Air flow position changes in accordance with each control range.

NG -- INSPECT AIR OUTLET CONTROL SERVO MOTOR
OK -- REPLACE A/C AMPLIFIER
3. INSPECT AIR OUTLET CONTROL SERVO MOTOR
(a) Replace the No. 1 air mix control servo motor (air outlet 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 new or a known good one and check that the condition returns to normal.
(b) Check for the DTC.
Result:





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

4. 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 new or a known good one and check that the condition returns to normal.
(b) Check for the DTC.
Result:





B -- REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING HARNESS
A -- REPLACE A/C AMPLIFIER
