  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the auxiliary blower motor connector.
  3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  4. Connect a test lamp between the auxiliary blower motor supply voltage circuit and the auxiliary blower motor speed control circuit.
  5. Place the auxiliary blower motor switch in the maximum speed position.
Does the test lamp illuminate?
- Go to Step 10  Go to Step 4 
4 Test the battery positive voltage circuit of the auxiliary blower motor for an open, high resistance or short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 16  Go to Step 5 
5 Test the blower motor speed control circuit of the auxiliary blower motor for an open or high resistance. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 16  Go to Step 6

IMPORTANT: Ensure that the auxiliary blower motor resistor connector and the HVAC control module connectors are connected during this step in order to avoid misdiagnosis.
  1. Place the auxiliary blower motor switch in any position except OFF.
  2. Measure the voltage from the auxiliary blower motor speed control circuit of the HVAC control module to a good ground.
Does the voltage measure near the specified value?
4-6.0 V Go to Step 11  Go to Step 7

  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the HVAC control module.
  3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  4. Measure the voltage from the auxiliary blower motor speed control circuit of the HVAC control module to a good ground.
Does the voltage measure near the specified value?
4-6 V Go to Step 9  Go to Step 8 
8 Test the auxiliary blower motor speed control circuit of the HVAC control module for an open or a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 16  Go to Step 11 
9 Test the auxiliary blower motor speed control circuit of the HVAC control module for a short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 16  Go to Step 12 
10 Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the auxiliary blower motor. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 16  Go to Step 13 
11 Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the auxiliary blower motor resistor. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 16  Go to Step 14 
12 Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the HVAC control module. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 16  Go to Step 15 
13 Replace the auxiliary blower motor. Refer to Blower Motor Replacement - Auxiliary (With E59) or Blower Motor Replacement - Auxiliary (Without E59) in Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning.
Did you complete the replacement?
