      C3002 Ground
      Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit
      5 VHA25 (BN/VT)
      G08033411
      - Ground

      Is any voltage present? 

      • Yes:  REPAIR the circuit.
      • No  : GO to .
  6. CHECK THE AUXILIARY BLOWER MOTOR SPEED CONTROL
    1. Install a known good auxiliary blower motor speed controller.
    2. Reconnect all disconnected connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
    3. Ignition ON.
    4. Operate the auxiliary blower motor.

      Does the auxiliary blower motor function correctly? 

  7. CHECK FOR CORRECT HVAC MODULE OPERATION
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Disconnect and inspect all HVAC module connectors.
    3. Repair:
      • corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
      • damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
      • pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
    4. Reconnect the HVAC module connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
    5. Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

      Is the concern still present?
