DTC B13AB-7F: Front Control Rear Air Outlet Damper Control Servo Motor Actuator Stuck Off [11/2021 - ]: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2025 Lexus NX 350h, 2024 Lexus NX 350h, 2023 Lexus NX 350h, and 2022 Lexus NX 350h. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The No. 2 air conditioning radiator 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 No. 2 air conditioning radiator damper servo sub-assembly to the appropriate position, which controls the air outlet switching.
