Test Description

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2002 GMC Yukon XL, 2002 GMC Yukon, 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2002 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.

  1. 2:  This step tests for auxiliary blower motor operation in the OFF setting.
  2. 6:  This step tests for a possible short to ground in the auxiliary blower motor control module control circuit.
Blower Motor Always On - Auxiliary (W/O Sunroof)

Step Action Value(s) Yes No
Schematic Reference:  HVAC Schematics  
DEFINITION: The auxiliary blower motor is ON while the auxiliary HVAC controls are in the OFF position.
1 Did you review the auxiliary HVAC operation and perform the necessary inspections? - Go to Step 2  Go to Symptoms - HVAC Systems - Automatic 
IMPORTANT: The rear auxiliary HVAC control module will only function if the front auxiliary HVAC control module is placed in the REAR position.
  1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  2. Place both of the auxiliary HVAC control modules in the OFF position.
Does the auxiliary blower motor operate in the OFF position?
- Go to Step 3  Go to TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS

IMPORTANT: Place the front auxiliary HVAC control module in the REAR position. Place the rear auxiliary HVAC control module in the OFF position. Place the MODE selector in any position except AUTO. Failure to do this may result in a misdiagnosis.
  1. Place the rear auxiliary HVAC control module in the OFF position
  2. Place the MODE selector in the FLOOR position.
  3. Command the auxiliary blower motor to the OFF state.
  4. Observe the auxiliary blower motor PWM parameter.
Is the auxiliary blower motor PWM parameter at the specified value?
0% Go to Step 4  Go to Step 11 
4 Disconnect the rear auxiliary HVAC control module.
Is the blower motor operating?
- Go to Step 6  Go to Step 5
