Go to Step 2

Go to Diagnostic System Check - HVAC Systems - Automatic

1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
2. Place the blower motor switch in each speed position.

Does the blower motor operate in any speed position?

--

Go to Blower Motor Malfunction

Go to Step 3

1. Place the blower motor switch in the maximum speed position.
2. With a scan tool, observe the Commanded Blower parameter in the Instrument Panel Module data list.

Does the scan tool indicate that the Commanded Blower parameter is near the specified value?

90%

Go to Step 4

Go to Step 12

1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Disconnect the blower motor connector.
3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
4. Connect a test lamp between the blower motor supply voltage circuit and the blower motor control circuit.
5. Place the blower motor switch in the minimum speed position.

Does the test lamp illuminate?

Go to Step 16

Go to Step 7

Important: Ensure that the blower motor control processor connector and the IPM connectors are connected during this step in order to avoid misdiagnosis.

1. Measure the voltage from the blower motor speed control circuit of the IPM to a good ground.
2. With a scan tool, command the blower motor OFF and ON.

Does the voltage measure near the specified values for each commanded state?

5.1 V OFF

0.67 V ON

Go to Step 11

Go to Step 8

1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Disconnect the IPM.
3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
4. Measure the voltage from the blower motor speed control circuit of the IPM to a good ground.

Does the voltage measure near the specified value?

5.0 V

Go to Step 12

Go to Step 9

Test the blower motor speed control circuit of the IPM for an open, short to ground or short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 16
