AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM(for Automatic Air Conditioning System), Diagnostic DTC:B1442/42

DTC Code DTC Name
B1442/42 Air Inlet Damper Control Servo Motor Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The air inlet servo motor 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 the signals to move the air inlet servo motor to any position, which controls the intake air settings (fresh, fresh/recirculation and recirculation).

Tech Tips

Confirm that no mechanical problem is present because this trouble code may be stored when either a damper link or damper is mechanically locked.

DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
B1442/42 The air inlet servo motor position does not change when the air conditioning amplifier assembly operates the air inlet servo motor.

  • Air inlet servo motor

  • Air conditioning harness assembly

  • Air conditioning amplifier assembly
