Toyota Venza: Air Outlet Damper Control Servo Motor Circuit (B1443/43)

Toyota Venza Service Manual / Heating / Air Conditioning / Air Conditioning System / Air Outlet Damper Control Servo Motor Circuit (B1443/43)

DESCRIPTION

The air outlet control servo motor sends pulse signals to indicate the damper position to the A/C amplifier. The A/C amplifier activates the motor (normal or reverse) based on these signals to move the mode damper to any position, which controls the air outlet switching.

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.

OK:

Air flow position changes in accordance with each control range.

REPLACE A/C AMPLIFIER

3.	INSPECT AIR OUTLET CONTROL SERVO MOTOR

(a) Replace the No. 1 air mix control servo motor (air outlet control servo motor) (See page ).

HINT:

Since the servo motor cannot be inspected while it is removed from the vehicle, replace the servo motor with a new or a known good one and check that the condition returns to normal.

(b) Check for the DTC.

Result	Proceed to
DTC B1443/43 is output	A
DTC B1443/43 is not output	B

REPLACE AIR OUTLET CONTROL SERVO MOTOR

4.	INSPECT AIR CONDITIONING HARNESS

(a) Replace the air conditioning harness (See page ).

HINT:

Since the air conditioning harness cannot be inspected while it is removed from the vehicle, replace the air conditioning harness with a new or a known good one and check that the condition returns to normal.

(b) Check for the DTC.

Result	Proceed to
DTC B1443/43 is output	A
DTC B1443/43 is not output	B
