AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM (for Automatic Air Conditioning System), Diagnostic DTC:B1449/49

DTC Code DTC Name
B1449/49 Rear Air Outlet Damper Control Servo Motor Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The rear mode damper servo sub-assembly 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 rear air outlet damper to any position, which controls the air outlet modes.

The air conditioning amplifier assembly communicates with the servo through the No. 2 air conditioning harness.

Tech Tips

Confirm that there are no mechanical problems because this DTC may be stored when either a damper link or damper is mechanically locked.

DTC Code DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
B1449/49 Rear air outlet damper position does not change when the air conditioning amplifier assembly operates the rear mode damper servo sub-assembly.

  • Rear mode damper servo sub-assembly

  • No. 2 air conditioning harness assembly

  • Harness or connector

  • Air conditioning amplifier assembly

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (NO. 2 AIR CONDITIONING HARNESS - AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER)


    1. Disconnect the Q13 harness connector.

    2. Disconnect the G24 amplifier connector.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      Q13-3 (RBUS) - G24-1 (RBUS) Always Below 1 Ω
      Q13-4 (RBBU) - G24-23 (RBBU) Always Below 1 Ω
      Q13-2 (RBUG) - G24-21 (RBUG) Always Below 1 Ω
      G24-1 (RBUS) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      G24-23 (RBBU) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      G24-21 (RBUG) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    NG

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

    OK

  4. REPLACE REAR MODE DAMPER SERVO SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. Replace the rear mode damper servo sub-assembly Click here.

      Tech Tips

      Since the rear mode damper servo sub-assembly cannot be inspected while it is removed from the vehicle, replace the rear mode damper servo sub-assembly with a new or normally functioning one.
