Rear Blower Motor Circuit: Procedure

  1. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM 
    1. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch on (IG) and turn Techstream main switch on.
    3. Select the item below in the Active Test, and then check that the rear blower motor operates.
      ACTIVE TEST / AIR CONDITIONER

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      NG (blower motor does not operate) A
      NG (blower motor operates but does not change speed) B
      OK C

    B → See step   6 

    C → See step   9 

    A: Go to next step 

  2. INSPECT FUSE (RR CLR) 
    1. Remove the RR CLR fuse from the main body ECU.
    2. Measure the resistance of the RR CLR fuse.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      RR CLR fuse Always Below 1 Ω

    NG → REPLACE FUSE 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. INSPECT REAR BLOWER MOTOR 
    1. Disconnect the N10 motor connector.

    2. Connect the battery's positive (+) lead to terminal 2 and the negative (-) to terminal 1, then check that the rear blower motor operates smoothly.

      OK

      The rear blower motor operates smoothly.

    3. Measure the current of the connector.

      Standard current

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      N10-1 - N10-2 Rear blower motor operates Below 13.5 A

    NG → See step   8 

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (REAR BLOWER MOTOR CONTROL - BODY GROUND) 
    1. Disconnect the N11 rear motor control connector.

    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      N11-6 (GND) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  5. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (REAR BLOWER MOTOR CONTROL - BATTERY) 
    1. Disconnect the N11 rear motor control connector.

    2. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard voltage

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      N11-1 (+B) - Body ground Ignition switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  6. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER - BODY GROUND) 
    1. Disconnect the D38 amplifier connector.

    2. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard voltage

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      D38-22 (BLWH) - D38-20 (GND2) Ignition switch on (IG)
      Blower switch OFF
      4.5 to 5.5 V

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  7. CHECK AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER 
    1. Remove the air conditioning amplifier with its connectors still connected.

    2. Check the waveform of the amplifier connector.

      OK

      Waveform is as shown in the illustration.

      HINT: 

      The waveform varies with the blower level.

      Item Content
      Tester Connection BLWH (D38-22) - GND2 (D38-20)
      Tool Setting 1 V/DIV., 500 μsec./DIV.
      Condition Ignition switch on (IG)
      Blower switch LO

    NG → See step   10 

    OK → See step   8 

  8. REPLACE REAR BLOWER MOTOR. Refer to  REMOVAL - Step 16 
  9. PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE. Refer to  PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE 
  10. REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER. Refer to  REMOVAL - Step 6
