  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the blower motor connector.
  3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  4. Connect a test lamp between the blower motor supply voltage circuit and the blower motor speed control circuit.
  5. Place the blower switch in the minimum speed position.
Does the test lamp illuminate?		 - Go to Step 10  Go to Step 5 
5 Test the battery positive voltage circuit of the blower motor control processor for an open, high resistance or short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 16  Go to Step 6 
6 Test the ground circuit of the blower motor control processor for an open or high resistance. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 16  Go to Step 7

IMPORTANT: The blower motor control processor connector and the HVAC control module connectors must be connected to correctly perform the test.
  1. Backprobe and measure the voltage from the blower speed control circuit at the HVAC control module to a good ground.
  2. With a scan tool, command the blower motor OFF and ON.
Does the voltage measure near the specified values for each commanded state?		 5.0 V OFF
1.0 V ON		 Go to Step 11  Go to Step 8
