Toyota 4Runner: Air Mix Damper Control Servo Motor Circuit (Passenger Side) (B1441)

Toyota 4Runner Service Manual / Vehicle Interior / Heating / Air Conditioning / Air Conditioning System(for Manual Air Conditioning System) / Air Mix Damper Control Servo Motor Circuit (Passenger Side) (B1441)

DESCRIPTION

The damper servo sub-assembly (air mix damper servo) 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 mix damper to any position. As a result, the air mix damper varies the mixture of hot air from the heater core and cold air from the evaporator so that the temperature of the air is as requested.

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
B1441	The air mix damper position does not change when the air conditioning amplifier assembly operates the damper servo sub-assembly (air mix damper servo).	Damper servo sub-assembly (air mix damper servo) Air conditioning harness assembly No. 1 air conditioning amplifier assembly

WIRING DIAGRAM

PROCEDURE

1.	READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (AIR MIX DAMPER SERVO)

(a) Use the Data List to check if the damper servo sub-assembly (air mix damper servo) is functioning properly (See page ).

REPLACE NO. 1 AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY

2.	PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (AIR MIX DAMPER SERVO)

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

Air Conditioner

Air Mix Servo Targ Pulse (D)	Damper servo sub-assembly (air mix damper servo) pulse	Min.: 0, Max.: 255	-

OK:

Damper servo sub-assembly (air mix damper servo) operates normally.

REPLACE NO. 1 AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY

3.	REPLACE DAMPER SERVO SUB-ASSEMBLY (AIR MIX DAMPER SERVO)

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

HINT:

Since the damper servo sub-assembly (air mix damper servo) cannot be inspected while it is removed from the vehicle, replace the damper servo sub-assembly (air mix damper servo) 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 B1441 is not output.

END (DAMPER SERVO SUB-ASSEMBLY [AIR MIX DAMPER SERVO] 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 B1441 is not output.

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