DTC B1442/42: Air Inlet Damper Control Servo Motor Circuit: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The damper servo (air inlet control) sends pulse signals to indicate the damper position to the air conditioning amplifier. The air conditioning amplifier activates the motor (normal or reverse) based on these signals to move the air inlet control damper to the appropriate position, which controls the intake air settings (FRESH, FRESH / RECIRCULATION and RECIRCULATION).

HINT: 

Confirm that there are no mechanical problems because this DTC can be set if either a damper link or damper is mechanically locked.
