DESCRIPTION The No. 1
blower damper servo sub-assembly 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 these signals to move the air inlet damper to the appropriate
position to change the air inlet mode (fresh, recirculation/fresh, and
recirculation). The air conditioning amplifier
assembly communicates with the servo through a communication/driver IC
and wiring assembly called the air conditioning harness assembly. |

 CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
HINT:
- Confirm that no mechanical problems are present because this DTC can be
stored when either a damper link or damper is mechanically locked.
- When installing a damper servo motor, make sure to install it correctly.
