HEATING / AIR CONDITIONING: AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM (for Automatic Air Conditioning System): B1441/41; Air Mix Damper Control Servo Motor Circuit (Passenger Side); 2013 MY Corolla [07/2012 -]
B1441/41 - Air Mix Damper Control Servo Motor Circuit (Passenger Side)

DESCRIPTION

The air mix damper servo sends pulse signals to inform the air conditioning amplifier of the damper position. The air conditioning amplifier activates the motor (normal, reverse) based on the signals to move the air mix damper (passenger seat) to any position, which adjusts the amount of air passing the heater core after passing the evaporator to control the blowing temperature. The A/C amplifier communicates with the servo through a communication/driver IC and wiring assembly called the air conditioning harness.

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