Toyota 4Runner: Air Inlet Damper Control Servo Motor Circuit (B1442)

Toyota 4Runner Service Manual / Vehicle Interior / Heating / Air Conditioning / Air Conditioning System(for Manual Air Conditioning System) / Air Inlet Damper Control Servo Motor Circuit (B1442)

DESCRIPTION

The recirculation damper servo sub-assembly sends pulse signals to inform the No. 1 air conditioning amplifier assembly of the damper position. The No. 1 air conditioning amplifier assembly activates the motor (normal or reverse) based on the signals to move the air inlet damper to any position, which controls the intake air settings (fresh, fresh/recirculation and recirculation).

HINT:

Confirm that no mechanical problem is present because this trouble code may be stored when either a damper link or damper is mechanically locked.

DTC Code	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area
B1442	The air inlet damper position does not change when the air conditioning amplifier assembly operates the recirculation damper servo sub-assembly.	Recirculation damper servo sub-assembly Air conditioning harness assembly No. 1 air conditioning amplifier assembly

REPLACE NO. 1 AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY

2.	PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (RECIRCULATION DAMPER SERVO)

(a) Select the Active Test, use the Techstream to generate a control command, and then check that the recirculation damper servo sub-assembly operates (See page ).

Air Conditioner

Tester Display	Test Part	Control Range	Diagnostic Note
Air Inlet Damper Targ Pulse	Recirculation damper servo sub-assembly target pulse	Min.: 0, Max.: 255	-

OK:

Recirculation damper servo sub-assembly operates normally.

REPLACE NO. 1 AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY

3.	REPLACE RECIRCULATION DAMPER SERVO SUB-ASSEMBLY

(a) Replace the recirculation damper servo sub-assembly (See page ).

HINT:

Since the recirculation damper servo sub-assembly cannot be inspected while it is removed from the vehicle, replace the recirculation damper servo sub-assembly with a new or normally functioning one.

4.	CHECK FOR DTC

(a) Clear the DTCs (See page ).

(b) Check for DTCs (See page ).

OK:

DTC B1442 is not output.

END (RECIRCULATION DAMPER SERVO SUB-ASSEMBLY IS FAULTY)

5.	REPLACE NO. 1 AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY

(a) Temporarily replace the No. 1 air conditioning amplifier assembly with a new or normally functioning one (See page ).

6.	CHECK FOR DTC

(a) Clear the DTCs (See page ).

(b) Check for DTCs (See page ).

OK:

DTC B1442 is not output.

END (NO. 1 AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY IS FAULTY)
