DTC B1442: Air Inlet Damper Control Servo Motor Circuit [12/2019 - 10/2022]: Description
The No. 1 blower damper servo sub-assembly 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 air inlet damper to the appropriate position to change the air inlet mode (fresh, recirculation/fresh, and recirculation).
The air conditioning amplifier assembly communicates with the servo through the communication/driver IC and wiring assembly called the air conditioning harness assembly.
