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 (for mode switching) 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 (for mode switching) 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.

  • No. 1 air conditioning radiator damper servo sub-assembly (for mode switching)

  • Air conditioning harness assembly

  • Air conditioning amplifier assembly

 Memorized (30 seconds or more)

Tech Tips

The air conditioning amplifier assembly stores the DTC of the respective malfunction if it has occurred for the period of time indicated in the brackets.
