Blower Motor Circuit
Circuit diagnosis
DESCRIPTION


The blower motor is operated by signals from the A/C amplifier assembly. Blower motor speed signals are transmitted by changes in the duty ratio.
- The duty ratio is the ratio of the period of continuity in one cycle. For example, A is the period of continuity in one cycle, and B is the period of non-continuity.

| 4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (BLOWER MOTOR CONTROLLER - A/C AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY) |
Disconnect the connector from the A/C amplifier assembly and the blower motor controller.

Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
- Resistance:
Tester connection
(Symbols)
Condition
Specified condition
A11-9 (BLW) - B3-2
Always
Below 1 Ω
A11-9 (BLW) - Body ground
Always
10 kΩ or higher
|
|
||||
| OK | |
| 5. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (BLOWER MOTOR CONTROLLER - BODY GROUND) |
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

- Resistance:
Tester connection
Condition
Specified condition
B3-1 - Body ground
Always
Below 1 Ω
|
|
||||
| OK | |
| 6. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (BLOWER MOTOR CONTROLLER - BLOWER MOTOR) |
Disconnect the connector from the blower motor.

Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
- Voltage:
Tester connection
Condition
Specified condition
B2-2 - Body ground
Ignition switch ON
Blower switch: ON
10 to 14 V
B3-3 - Body ground
Ignition switch ON
Blower switch: ON
10 to 14 V
B2-2 - Body ground
Ignition switch ON
Blower switch: OFF
Below 1 V
B3-3 - Body ground
Ignition switch ON
Blower switch: OFF
Below 1 V
|
|
||||
| OK | |
| 7. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (BLOWER MOTOR CONTROLLER - BLOWER MOTOR) |
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

- Resistance:
Tester connection
Condition
Specified condition
B2-1 - B3-4
Always
Below 1 Ω
B2-1 - Body ground
Always
10 kΩ or higher
|
|
||||
| OK | |
| 8. INSPECT COOLING UNIT MOTOR SUB-ASSEMBLY W/FAN |
Remove the cooling unit motor sub-assembly w/ fan.

Connect the negative (-) lead connected to terminal 1 of the blower motor connector, the positive (+) lead to terminal 2.
- OK:
- Blower motor operates smoothly.
|
|
||||
| OK | |
| 9. INSPECT AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY |
Reconnect the connector to the A/C amplifier assembly.
Remove the A/C amplifier assembly with the connectors still connected.

Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
Blower speed switch is at "LO".
Measure the waveform between terminal BLW (A11-9) of the A/C amplifier assembly and body ground.

- OK:
- Waveform operate as shown in the illustration.
- HINT:
- Waveform cycle varies with the blower level.
