AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:B1447/47

DTC Code DTC Name
B1447/47 Rear Air Mix Damper Control Servo Motor Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The No. 1 rear cooling unit damper servo sub-assembly (rear air mix) sends pulse signals to indicate the damper position to the air conditioning amplifier assembly. The air conditioning amplifier assembly activates the motor (normal or reverse) based on these signals to move the No. 1 rear cooling unit damper servo sub-assembly (rear air mix) to any position, which controls the air outlet modes.

The air conditioning amplifier communicates with the servo through a communication/driver IC and wiring assembly called the air conditioning harness assembly.
