No --> Replace the Blower Motor in accordance with the Service Information. Replace IPM Front Blower Fuse. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . |
All |
| 7 | Ensure IPM Front Blower Fuse is installed. Turn the ignition on. Press the A/C Heater Control's power switch on.
NOTE:
The test light must illuminate brightly. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, back probe the Blower Supply circuit in the Blower Motor Resistor Block C2 harness connector. Does the test light illuminate brightly? Yes --> Go To 8 No --> Go To 12 |
All |
| 8 | Turn the ignition off. Using a jumper wire connected to ground, back probe the Blower Driver circuit in the Blower Motor Resistor Block C2 harness connector. Turn the ignition on. Press the A/C Heater Control's power switch on. Does the blower motor run at high speed? Yes --> Go To 9 No --> Replace the Blower Motor in accordance with the Service Information. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . |
All |
| 9 | Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the A/C Heater Control C2 harness connector. Using a jumper wire connected to ground, back probe the Blower Motor High Driver circuit in the A/C Heater Control C2 harness connector. Turn the ignition on. Press the A/C Heater Control's power switch on. Does the blower motor run at high speed? Yes --> Go To 10 No --> Go To 11 |
All |
| 10 | Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the A/C Heater Control C2 harness connector. Measure the resistance of the Ground circuit between the A/C Heater Control C2 harness connector and ground. Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms? Yes --> Replace the A/C Heater Control in accordance with the Service Information. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . No --> Repair the Ground circuit for an open. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . |
All |
| 11 | Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the A/C Heater Control C2 harness connector. Disconnect the Blower Motor Resistor Block C1 harness connector. Measure the resistance of the Blower Motor High Driver circuit between the A/C Heater Control C2 harness connector and the Blower Motor Resistor Block C1 harness connector. Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms? Yes --> Replace the Blower Motor Resistor Block in accordance with the Service Information. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . No --> Repair the Blower Motor High Driver circuit for an open. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . |
All |
| 12 | Turn the ignition on. Press the A/C Heater Control's power switch on.
NOTE:
The test light must illuminate brightly. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, back probe the Fused Front Blower Motor Relay Output circuit in the Blower Motor Resistor Block C1 harness connector. Does the test light illuminate brightly? Yes --> Replace the Blower Motor Resistor Block in accordance with the Service Information. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . No --> Go To 13 |
All |
| 13 | Turn the ignition off. Remove the Front Blower Motor Relay from the IPM.
NOTE:
The test light must illuminate brightly. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, probe cavity 30 of the Front Blower Motor Relay connector. Does the test light illuminate brightly? Yes --> Go To 14 No --> Replace the Integrated Power Module (IPM) in accordance with the Service Information. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . |
All |
| 14 | Turn the ignition off. Remove the Front Blower Motor Relay from the IPM. Remove IPM Front Blower Fuse.
