AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:B1443/43

DTC Code DTC Name
B1443/43 Air Outlet Damper Control Servo Motor Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The No. 1 air conditioning radiator damper servo sub-assembly (air outlet) 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 No. 1 air conditioning radiator damper servo sub-assembly (air outlet) to any position, which controls the air outlet switching.

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
B1443/43 Air outlet damper position sensor value does not change even if air conditioning amplifier assembly operates No. 1 air conditioning radiator damper servo sub-assembly (air outlet)

  • No. 1 air conditioning radiator damper servo sub-assembly (air outlet)

  • Air conditioning harness assembly

  • Air conditioning amplifier assembly
