The No. 1 rear cooling unit 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. 1 rear cooling unit damper servo sub-assembly to the appropriate position. As a result, the amount of air passing through the heater core after passing through the evaporator is adjusted, and the temperature of the air blowing toward the rear side is controlled. The air conditioning amplifier assembly communicates with the servo through a communication/driver IC and wiring assembly called the No. 1 air conditioning harness assembly.

| Diagnosis Condition | During No. 1 rear cooling unit damper servo sub-assembly operation | ○ | ○ |
| Malfunction | The damper servo operation request signals are output but the air mix damper position sensor value does not change | ○ | - |
| The damper servo operation request signals are output but the air mix damper position sensor value is abnormal | - | ○ | |
| Detection Time | Continuously for 30 seconds or more | Continuously for 30 seconds or more | |
| Trip Count | 1 trip | 1 trip | |
If the conditions of either of these patterns are detected, a DTC will be stored.
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.
After replacing a damper servo motor, make sure to perform Servo Motor Initialization.
Check for DTCs.
