Title: HEATING / AIR CONDITIONING: AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM: DESCRIPTION (2008 LX570)

DTC

B1442/42

Air Inlet Damper Control Servo Motor Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The REC/FRS damper servo motor 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 inlet damper to any position, which controls the intake air settings (fresh, fresh/recirculation and recirculation).

HINT:

Confirm that no mechanical problem is present because this trouble code can be stored when either a damper link or damper is mechanically locked.
