DESCRIPTION
The Rear No. 1 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 Rear No. 1 cooling unit damper servo sub-assembly 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 No. 2 air conditioning harness assembly.
DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | Memory |
---|---|---|---|---|
B1486/86 | Air Outlet Damper Control Servo Motor Circuit(Driver Side Front A/C Rear Air Flow) | Rear air outlet damper position sensor value does not change even if air conditioning amplifier assembly operates Rear No. 1 cooling unit damper servo sub-assembly |
| Memorized (30 sec. or more)* |
WIRING DIAGRAM
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
HINT:
Confirm that no mechanical problems are present because this DTC can be output when either a damper link or damper is mechanically locked.
PROCEDURE
1. | READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM |
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(c) Turn the Techstream on.
(d) Operate the rear passenger side mode switch.
(e) Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Air Conditioner / Data List.
(f) Check the value(s) by referring to the table below.
Body Electrical > Air Conditioner > Data List Tester Display | Measurement Item | Range | Normal Condition | Diagnostic Note |
---|---|---|---|---|
Air Outlet Servo Pls (F&R D) | Rear No. 1 cooling unit damper servo sub-assembly target pulse | Min.: 128 Max.: 383 |

OK:
When the rear passenger side mode switch is operated, the actual pulse changes following the target pulse.
Result | Proceed to |
---|---|
Target pulse changes but actual pulse does not change | A |
Target pulse and actual pulse do not change | B |
Actual pulse changes following the target pulse (When troubleshooting according to the DTC) | C |
Actual pulse changes following the target pulse (When troubleshooting according to Problem Symptoms Table) | D |
B | REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY |
C | GO TO STEP 5 |
D | PROCEED TO NEXT SUSPECTED AREA SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE |
|
2. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (NO. 2 AIR CONDITIONING HARNESS ASSEMBLY - AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY) |
(a) Disconnect the R52 No. 2 air conditioning harness assembly connector.
(b) Disconnect the J48 air conditioning amplifier assembly connector.
(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
---|---|---|
R52-4 (RBBU) - J48-3 (RBBU) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
R52-3 (RBUS) - J48-22 (RBUS) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
R52-2 (RBUG) - J48-2 (RBUG) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
R52-4 (RBBU) or J48-3 (RBBU) - Other terminals and body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
R52-3 (RBUS) or J48-22 (RBUS) - Other terminals and body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
R52-2 (RBUG) or J48-2 (RBUG) - Other terminals and body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
NG | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |

HINT:
Since the servo motor cannot be inspected while it is removed from the vehicle, replace the servo motor with a new or known good one and check that the condition returns to normal.
(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(c) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(d) Turn the Techstream on.
(e) Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Air Conditioner / Trouble Codes.
(f) Clear the DTC.
Body Electrical > Air Conditioner > Clear DTCs(g) Check for DTCs.
Body Electrical > Air Conditioner > Trouble CodesOK:
DTC B1486/86 is not output.
NG | END (REAR NO. 1 COOLING UNIT DAMPER SERVO SUB-ASSEMBLY WAS DEFECTIVE) |
|
4. | CHECK NO. 2 AIR CONDITIONING HARNESS ASSEMBLY |
(a) Replace the No. 2 air conditioning harness assembly.
Click here
HINT:
Since the No. 2 air conditioning harness assembly cannot be inspected while it is removed from the vehicle, replace the No. 2 air conditioning harness assembly with a new or known good one and check that the condition returns to normal.
(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(c) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(d) Turn the Techstream on.
(e) Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Air Conditioner / Trouble Codes.
(f) Clear the DTC.
Body Electrical > Air Conditioner > Clear DTCs(g) Check for DTCs.
Body Electrical > Air Conditioner > Trouble CodesOK:
DTC B1486/86 is not output.
OK | REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY |
NG | END (NO. 2 AIR CONDITIONING HARNESS ASSEMBLY WAS DEFECTIVE) |
5. | RECONFIRM DTC OUTPUT |
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(c) Turn the Techstream on.
(d) Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Air Conditioner / Trouble Codes.
(e) Check for DTCs.
