Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems

Go to Step 3

1. With a scan tool, observe the Blower Motor PWM Speed parameter in the Heating and Air Conditioning data list.
2. Adjust the blower control from the minimum speed position to the maximum speed position.

Does scan tool indicate that the Blower Motor PWM Speed parameter increases within the specified range?

0-96%

1. Turn the ignition OFF.
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 ground circuit of the blower motor.
5. Adjust the blower control from the minimum speed position to the maximum speed position.

Does the test lamp illuminate and increase intensity?

Important: The blower motor control processor and HVAC control module connectors must be connected to correctly perform the test.

1. Backprobe and measure the voltage from the blower speed control circuit of the HVAC control module and a good ground.
2. Adjust the blower control from the minimum speed position to the maximum speed position.

Does the measured voltage decrease between the specified values?

4.7-0.65 V

Go to Step 9

Go to Step 7

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

Does the voltage measure near the specified value?

5.0 V
