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 numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 2:  This step tests for auxiliary blower motor operation in any speed setting.
  2. 8:  This step determines if the malfunction is in the control side of the system.
  3. 9:  Test both the auxiliary HVAC control assembly chassis ground circuit and ground loop circuit.
Blower Motor Inoperative - Auxiliary (W/Sunroof or Heat Only)

Step Action Yes No
Schematic Reference:  HVAC Schematics  
DEFINITION: The auxiliary blower motor is inoperative in all speed positions.
1 Did you review the auxiliary HVAC operation and perform the necessary inspections? Go to Step 2  Go to SYMPTOM TESTS
  1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  2. Place the auxiliary blower motor switch in each speed position.
