Toyota Venza: Air Inlet Damper Control Servo Motor Circuit (B1442/42)

Toyota Venza Service Manual / Heating / Air Conditioning / Air Conditioning System / Air Inlet Damper Control Servo Motor Circuit (B1442/42)

DESCRIPTION

The air inlet 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 air inlet mode selection air inlet control damper to any position, which controls the intake air settings (FRESH, FRESH/RECIRCULATION, and RECIRCULATION).

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.

2.	PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(d) Enter the following menus: Body / Air Conditioner / Active Test.

(e) Check the operation by referring to the table below.

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

OK:

Recirculation damper position changes in accordance with each control range.

REPLACE A/C AMPLIFIER

3.	INSPECT AIR INLET CONTROL SERVO MOTOR

(a) Replace the air inlet 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 B1442/42 is output	A
DTC B1442/42 is not output	B

REPLACE AIR INLET 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 B1442/42 is output	A
DTC B1442/42 is not output	B
