Diagnostic Test
- 1) CHECK THE BLOWER SPEED SETTING
Was the blower control set to high speed before executing the Cooldown Test?
Yes
- Go To step 2).
No
- Start the engine, set the blower control to high speed, and then run the Cooldown Test again.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
- 2) CHECK THE (C41) BLOWER SWITCH POSITION SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO THE (C121) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT

Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the A/C Heater Control C2 harness connector.
Measure the resistance between the (C41) Blower Switch Position Signal circuit and the (C121) Sensor Ground circuit in the A/C Heater Control C2 harness connector.
Is the resistance below 10K ohms?
Yes
- Repair the (C41) Blower Switch Position Signal circuit for a short to the (C121) Sensor Ground circuit. Run the Cooldown Test again after the repair is complete.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
No
- Go To step 3).
- 3) CHECK THE (C41) BLOWER SWITCH POSITION SIGNAL CIRCUIT VOLTAGE
Reconnect the A/C Heater Control C2 harness connector.
Disconnect the A/C Heater Control C3 harness connector.
Turn the ignition on.
Measure the voltage of the (C41) Blower Switch Position Signal circuit.
Is the voltage above 4.8 volts?
Yes
- Check the blower motor and related circuits for the cause of blower operation problems and repair as necessary. Run the Cooldown Test again after the repair is complete.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
No
- Go To step 4).
- 4) CHECK THE (C41) BLOWER SWITCH POSITION SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND

Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the A/C Heater Control C2 harness connector.
Measure the resistance of the (C41) Blower Switch Position Signal circuit between ground and the A/C Heater Control C3 harness connector.
Is the resistance below 10K ohms?
Yes
- Repair the (C41) Blower Switch Position Signal circuit for a short to ground. Run the Cooldown Test again after the repair is complete.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
No
- Go To step 5).
- 5) CHECK (C41) BLOWER SWITCH POSITION SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
Measure the resistance of the (C41) Blower Switch Position Signal circuit between the A/C Heater Control C2 harness connector and the A/C Heater Control C3 harness connector.
Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?
Yes
- Replace the A/C Heater Control in accordance with the Service Information. Run the Cooldown Test again after the repair is complete.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
No
- Repair the (C41) Blower Switch Position Signal circuit for an open. Run the Cooldown Test again after the repair is complete.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
