The blower motor control module is an interface between the HVAC control module and the blower motor. The blower motor speed control, battery positive and ground circuits enable the control module to operate. The HVAC control module provides a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal to the blower motor speed control module in order to command the blower motor speed. The module supplies 12 volts to the blower motor through the blower motor voltage supply circuit.

⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | 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 (HVAC BLWR 40-amp) in the underhood fuse block is open, test all components connected to the B+ circuit and replace as necessary. |
⇒ | If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HVAC control module. |
⇒ | If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HVAC control module. |
⇒ | 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, replace the blower motor control module. |
⇒ | If the test lamp intensity does not vary, test the control circuit for a short to voltage, short to ground, or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the blower motor control module. |
