AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:B1447/47

DTC Code DTC Name
B1447/47 Air Mix Damper Control Servo Motor Circuit (Rear)

DESCRIPTION

The rear No. 2 cooling unit 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 rear No. 2 cooling unit damper servo sub-assembly to the appropriate position. As a result, the amount of air passing through the heater core after passing through the evaporator is adjusted, and the temperature of the air blowing toward the driver side is controlled.

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

      Tech Tips

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

    2. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    3. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

    4. Turn the GTS on.

    5. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Air Conditioner / Trouble Codes.

    6. Clear the DTC.


      Body Electrical > Air Conditioner > Clear DTCs

    7. Check for DTCs.


      Body Electrical > Air Conditioner > Trouble Codes
      OK
      DTC B1447/47 is not output.

      NG

    OK

    END (REAR NO. 2 COOLING UNIT DAMPER SERVO SUB-ASSEMBLY IS DEFECTIVE)

    NG

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (NO. 2 AIR CONDITIONING HARNESS ASSEMBLY - AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY)


    1. Disconnect the R58 No. 2 air conditioning harness assembly connector.

    2. Disconnect the J48 air conditioning amplifier assembly connector.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      R58-2 (RBUG) - J48-2 (RBUG) Always Below 1 Ω
