AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:B1442/42

DTC Code DTC Name
B1442/42 Air Inlet Damper Control Servo Motor Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The recirculation 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, reverse) based on the signals to move the air inlet mode selection recirculation damper servo sub-assembly to any position, which controls the air inlet mode (fresh, recirculation/fresh, 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.
