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.

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.
