Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Cadillac DTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the auxiliary blower motor.
- Test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between the ground circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- If greater than 1 ohm, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 1 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 and the B+ circuit fuse is open, replace the aux blower motor.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the auxiliary blower motor control module.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminates between the control circuit terminal 4 and ground.
- If test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to voltage.
- Test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between the ground circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- If greater than 1 ohm, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Connect the auxiliary blower motor connector.
- Ignition ON, verity that a test lamp illuminates between the control circuit terminal 4 and ground.
- If test lamp does not illuminate, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If circuit test normal replace auxiliary blower motor.
- Select the AUTO position on the front HVAC module.
- Test for 12-27 Mv between the control circuit terminal 1 and ground while adjusting the rear auxiliary HVAC control module blower from 1 to 4 bars.
- If less than 12 Mv, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal replace the rear auxiliary HVAC module.
- If greater than 27 Mv, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal replace the rear auxiliary HVAC module.
- Test for above 10 volts while adjusting the rear auxiliary HVAC blower switch to 5 bars.
- If less than 10 volts replace the rear auxiliary HVAC control module.
- Select the AUTO position on the rear auxiliary HVAC control module.
- Test for 12-145 Mv between the control circuit terminal 1 and ground while adjusting the front HVAC control module blower from low speed to high speed.
- If less than 12 Mv, replace the front HVAC control module.
- If greater than 145 Mv, replace the front HVAC control module.
- Place the front and rear HVAC modules in low speed.
- Test for 0.2--15 Mv between the signal circuit terminal 3 and ground.
- If less than 0.2 Mv, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open high resistance. If the circuit tests normal replace the rear auxiliary HVAC module.
- If greater than 15 Mv, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal replace the rear auxiliary HVAC module.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the auxiliary blower motor control module.
