| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| B1442/42 | Air Inlet Damper Control Servo Motor Circuit |
DESCRIPTION
The No. 1 blower damper servo sub-assembly (air inlet) sends pulse signals to inform the air conditioning amplifier assembly of the damper position. The air conditioning amplifier assembly activates the motor (normal, reverse) based on the signals to move the air inlet mode selection No. 1 blower damper servo sub-assembly (air inlet) to any position, which controls the intake air settings (FRESH, FRESH/RECIRCULATION, and RECIRCULATION).
The air conditioning amplifier assembly communicates with the servo through a communication/driver IC and wiring assembly called the air conditioning harness assembly.
Tech Tips
Confirm that no mechanical problem is present because this diagnostic code can be output when either a damper link or the damper is mechanically locked.
| DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| B1442/42 | Air inlet damper position sensor value does not change even if air conditioning amplifier assembly operates No. 1 blower damper servo sub-assembly (air inlet) |
