AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:B1455/55

DTC Code DTC Name
B1455/55 Driver Side Air Outlet Damper FOOT/DEF Control Servo Motor Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The No. 1 air conditioning radiator 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 No. 1 air conditioning radiator damper servo sub-assembly to the appropriate 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.
