Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2007 GMC Yukon XL, 2007 GMC Yukon, 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2007 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2007 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector C2 at the Auxiliary Blower Motor Control Module.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 1.0 ohm of resistance between the ground circuit terminal 5 and ground.
- If greater than 1.0 ohm, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 6 and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the REAR HVAC fuse is open, test battery positive voltage circuit for a short to ground.
- Test for the following voltages between the control circuit terminal 3 and ground with the auxiliary blower motor speed set at the specified levels:
- Off - Less than 1 volt
- Level 1 - 7.5-8.5 volts
- Level 2 - 8.5-9.5 volts
- Level 3 - 9.5-10.5 volts
- Level 4 - 10.5-11.5 volts
- If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HVAC Control Module.
- If less than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HVAC Control Module.
- Reconnect the harness connect C2 at the Auxiliary Blower Motor Control Module. Disconnect the harness connector at the auxiliary blower motor.
- Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal A and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the Auxiliary Blower Motor Control Module.
- Install a test lamp between the B+ circuit terminal A and the low reference circuit terminal B.
- While monitoring the test lamp, cycle the auxiliary blower motor through the various speeds. The test lamp should not illuminate with the auxiliary blower motor in the OFF position and become progressively brighter as the auxiliary blower motor speed is increased.
- If the test lamp is ON with the auxiliary blower motor in the OFF position, test the low reference circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the Auxiliary Blower Motor Control Module.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the low reference circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the Auxiliary Blower Motor Control Module.
- If the test lamp does not become progressively brighter as the auxiliary blower motor speed is increased, replace the Auxiliary Blower Motor Control Module.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the auxiliary blower motor.
