Press the ATC's PWR switch on.
Press the REAR fan mode switch on, so that it is in manual mode. The word "REAR" should display on the ATC display panel. The word "AUTO" should not be displayed. Using the X10 Scope Probe, back probe the Rear Booster Fan Control circuit in the ATC C1 harness connector.
NOTE: The RR Booster Fan Power Module provides a 12.0v signal to the ATC over the Rear Booster Fan Control circuit. The ATC provides a variable duty cycle ground to the 12.0v signal based on input from the Rear Booster Fan Rear Control switch.
NOTE: When the fan speed is set to low, the ATC provides a short duty cycle (less time grounding the signal voltage).
NOTE: As higher fan speeds are requested, the ATC increases the duty cycle (more time grounding the signal voltage).
NOTE: When the highest fan speed is requested, the duty cycle increases to where the signal pattern is almost a flat line (with brief voltage spikes).

Set the fan speed to low, then slowly raise the fan speed to high while observing the DRBIII® display.
The voltage on the scope pattern should cycle from approximately 0 volts (duty cycle on) to 12.0 volts (duty cycle off) for all fan speeds.
The duty cycle pattern should change smoothly as the fan speed changes from low to high.
Does the DRBIII® display the voltage range and duty cycle as described above?
