DESCRIPTION
The No. 1 air conditioning radiator damper servo sub-assembly (front passenger side air mix) 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. 1 air conditioning radiator damper servo sub-assembly (front passenger side air mix) 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.
DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | Memory |
---|---|---|---|---|

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
HINT:
Confirm that no mechanical problem is present because this DTC can be output when either a damper link or damper is mechanically locked.
PROCEDURE
1. | READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM |
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(c) Turn the Techstream on.
(d) Operate the front passenger side temperature adjustment switch.
(e) Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Air Conditioner / Data List.
(f) Read the Data List according to the display on the Techstream.
Body Electrical > Air Conditioner > Data List Tester Display | Measurement Item | Range | Normal Condition | Diagnostic Note |
