The No. 1 air conditioning radiator damper servo sub-assembly (mode) 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 air conditioning radiator damper servo sub-assembly (mode) to the appropriate position, which controls the air outlet switching.
The air conditioning amplifier assembly communicates with the servo through a communication/driver IC and wiring assembly called the air conditioning harness assembly.

If the conditions match either of these patterns, a DTC will be output.
When DTC B1441, B1442 and B1443 are output at the same time, the No. 1 air conditioning radiator damper servo sub-assembly is malfunctioning.
Confirm that no mechanical problem is present because this diagnostic code can be output when either a damper link or the damper is mechanically locked.
When installing the servo motor, make sure to install it correctly.
When the servo motor is replaced, be sure to perform servo motor initialization.
Check for DTCs.
