BLOWER MOTOR CONTROL SYSTEM

Blower Speed Compensation - Sunload

When the in-vehicle temperature and the set temperature are very close, the blower will be operating at low

speed. The speed will vary depending on the sunload. During conditions of low or no sunload, the blower

operates at low speed. During high sunload conditions, the A/C auto amp. causes the blower speed to

increase.

Blower Speed Control Specification

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION

Variable Blower Control

The variable blower control is located on the cooling unit. The vari-

able blower control receives a gate voltage from the A/C auto amp.

to steplessly maintain the blower motor voltage in the 0 to 5 volt

range (approx.).

BLOWER MOTOR CONTROL SYSTEM

System Operation

Rear Blower Control

When the rear blower control dial (front) REAR CTRL switch is pressed (indicator on), it allows the rear air

control (rear) to control the rear blower motor speed. If the REAR CTRL switch is off (indicator off), the rear air

control (front) controls the rear blower motor speed regardless of the rear air control (rear) position.

Rear Blower Motor Component Function Check

INFOID:0000000007356367

SYMPTOM:

• Rear blower motor does not operate from the rear air control (front) and the rear air control (rear).

• Rear blower motor operates from rear air control (front) only.

• Rear blower motor operates from rear air control (rear) only.

• Rear blower motor speed does not match the rear air control (front) speed selected.

• Rear blower motor speed does not match the rear air control (rear) speed selected.

• Rear blower motor operates in high all the time when controlled from the rear air control (front).

• Rear blower motor operates in high all the time when controlled from the rear air control (rear).

Does the rear blower motor operate correctly?

YES

>> GO TO 3.

NO

>> GO TO 2.

2.

CONFIRM SYMPTOM BY PERFORMING OPERATIONAL CHECK - REAR AIR CONTROL (REAR)

1. Press the REAR CTRL switch (indicator on) on the rear air control (front) to send control of the rear blower

motor back the rear air control (rear).

2. Turn the rear air control (rear) blower control dial to the lowest speed and check for rear blower operation.

3. Continue checking that rear blower speed increases as the rear blower control dial is rotated clockwise.
Does the rear blower motor operate correctly?

YES

>> • Rear blower motor does not operate at any speed from the rear air control (front). Refer to 

HAC-

49, "Rear Air Control (Front) Diagnosis Procedure #1"

.

• Rear blower motor operates in high speed all the time or does not match the rear air control

(front) speed selected. Refer to 

HAC-50, "Rear Air Control (Rear) Diagnosis Procedure #2"

.

NO

>> • Rear blower motor does not operate from the rear air control (front) and the rear air control

(rear). Refer to
