AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:B1454

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

DESCRIPTION


The No. 4 air conditioning radiator damper servo sub-assembly (front passenger side lower air mix)*1, No. 6 air conditioning radiator damper servo sub-assembly (front passenger side lower air mix)*2 or No. 2 air conditioning radiator damper servo sub-assembly (front passenger side lower air mix)*3 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. 4 air conditioning radiator damper servo sub-assembly (front passenger side lower air mix)*1 or No. 6 air conditioning radiator damper servo sub-assembly (front passenger side lower air mix)*2 to the appropriate position. This adjusts the amount of air passing through the heater core after passing the evaporator and controls the temperature of the output air. The air conditioning amplifier assembly communicates with the servo through a communication/driver IC and wiring assembly called the air conditioning harness assembly.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note


  • Confirm that no mechanical problem is present because this diagnostic code can be output when either a damper link or the damper is mechanically locked.

  • When installing the damper servo motor, make sure to install it correctly.

  • When the servo motor is replaced, be sure to perform servo motor initialization.
