IMPORTANT: Ensure that the auxiliary blower motor control processor and auxiliary HVAC control module connectors are connected during this step in order to avoid misdiagnosis.
  1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  2. Measure the voltage from the auxiliary blower motor speed control circuit of the auxiliary HVAC control module to a good ground.
  3. Place the auxiliary blower motor switch from the minimum speed position to the maximum speed position.
Does the voltage continually decrease within the specified range?
13.0-1.5 V Go to Step 15  Go to Step 13 
13
  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the auxiliary HVAC control module.
  3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  4. Measure the voltage from the auxiliary blower speed control circuit of the auxiliary HVAC control module to a good ground.
Does the voltage measure near the specified value?
8-12.5 V Go to Step 16  Go to Step 15
