  2. CHECK FRONT BLOWER MOTOR POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT 
    1. Disconnect front blower motor connector.
    2. Press the mode switch to select any mode except off.
    3. Set fan switch to high.
    4. Check voltage between front blower motor harness connector M62 terminal + (W/L) and ground.

      Battery voltage should exist. 

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: GO TO  12.
    2. NG: GO TO 3.

  4. CHECK FRONT BLOWER MOTOR RELAY 

    Refer to "FRONT BLOWER MOTOR RELAY ".

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: GO TO 5.
    2. NG: Replace front blower motor relay.
  5. CHECK FRONT BLOWER MOTOR RELAY (SWITCH SIDE) CIRCUIT FOR OPEN 
    1. Disconnect blower motor relay harness connector and front blower motor harness connector.
    2. Check continuity between front blower motor relay harness connector H2 terminals 5 (W/L) and 7 (W/L) and front blower motor harness connector M62 terminal + (W/L).

      Continuity should exist. 

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: GO TO 6.
    2. NG: Repair harness or connector.
