Default 2003 Honda Accord EX V6 Air Drivers Side Air Conditioning Issue

I just completed the DTC diagnostic check for my 03 Accord. The 88's flashed on the driver side and passenger side. However, the lower half of the first 8 on the driver side stayed lit. According to the forums this is the K segment.

Does anyone know what the K means?

Thanks

Thanks. I was stumped and could not figure it out. Any Idea of the going rate of how much it would cost to fix?

I am most likely going to pay someone else. I have no idea where to start!

I have same problem in 2007 Honda Accord. HVAC code k. Problem in drivers air mix control linkage, door or motor.
Any idea how much should it cost to fix this at a repair shop ? I want to go in with a range to avoid getting ripped.

OEM Part (air mix motor) is $50-$70, but expect a markup to $150, plus labor (probably 1 hr) to perhaps $220-$250.

good luck
