DTC B1446/46 Air Mix Damper Control Servo Motor Circuit (Driver Side)
DESCRIPTION
The front air mix damper servo motor (for driver side) sends pulse signals to inform the air conditioning amplifier assembly of the damper position. The air conditioning amplifier assembly activates the motor (normal or reverse) based on the signals to move the air mix damper (for driver side) to any position. As a result, the amount of air that has passed through the evaporator and is passing through the heater core is adjusted, and the temperature of the air blowing toward the driver side is controlled.
- Confirm that no mechanical problem is present because this trouble code can be output when either a damper link or damper is mechanically locked.

| 2.CHECK AIR MIX DAMPER SERVO MOTOR (FOR DRIVER SIDE) |
Replace the air mix damper servo motor (for driver side).
- Since the servo motor cannot be inspected while it is removed from the vehicle, replace the servo motor with a normal one.
Check for DTCs ().
