AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM(for Manual Air Conditioning System), Diagnostic DTC:B1454

DTC Code DTC Name
B1454 Air Outlet Damper Cool Control Servo Motor Circuit (Passenger Side)

DESCRIPTION

According to signals from the air conditioning amplifier assembly that are based on user operation or air conditioning system control, the No. 1 air conditioning radiator damper servo sub-assembly (lower air mix) actuates the servo motor.

The cold air that has passed through the evaporator and the warm air that has passed through the heater core are regulated to provide output air at the selected temperature.
