AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:B1486/86

DTC Code DTC Name
B1486/86 Driver Side Air Outlet Damper Control Servo Motor Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The mode damper servo (for driver side front A/C rear air flow) sends pulse signals to inform the air conditioning amplifier of the damper position. The air conditioning amplifier activates the motor (normal, reverse) based on the signals to move the mode damper servo (for driver side front A/C rear air flow) to any position, which controls the air outlet changes.

Tech Tips

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

DTC Code DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
B1486/86 Air outlet damper position sensor value does not change even if air conditioning amplifier operates air outlet servo motor

  • Air outlet servo motor (for driver side front A/C rear air flow)

  • Air conditioning harness

  • Air conditioning amplifier
