DTC Code DTC Name
B1497/97 BUS IC Communication Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

The air conditioning harness assembly connects the air conditioning amplifier assembly and the servos. The air conditioning amplifier assembly supplies power and sends operation instructions to each servo through the air conditioning harness assembly. Each servo sends damper position information to the air conditioning amplifier assembly.
