Toyota Corolla Cross: Air Inlet Damper Control Servo Motor Actuator Stuck Off (B143B7F)
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, which controls the air inlet switching.
The air conditioning amplifier assembly communicates with the servo through a communication/driver IC and wiring assembly called the air conditioning harness assembly.

OK:
The No. 1 blower damper servo sub-assembly is installed correctly.
| NG | | INSTALL NO. 1 BLOWER DAMPER SERVO SUB-ASSEMBLY |
|
| 4. |
CHECK NO. 1 BLOWER DAMPER SERVO SUB-ASSEMBLY (MOTOR, LINK, DAMPER) |
(a) Check for a wire harness caught between the links of the motors and dampers.
OK:
No wire harnesses are caught between the links of the motors and dampers.
| NG | | REMOVE PINCHED WIRE HARNESS |
|
| 5. |
CHECK BLOWER ASSEMBLY |
(a) Remove the No. 1 blower damper servo sub-assembly.
