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 variable voltage to the blower motor control module to request the selected blower speed. The blower motor control module provides a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal to the blower motor in order to control the blower motor speed. The module supplies 12 volts to the blower motor through the blower motor voltage supply circuit.

Be sure the blower motor housing is not shorted to a grounded surface causing the blower motor to always be on in high speed.

Ignition ON, command the blower motor ON and OFF with a scan tool. Monitor/feel the operation of the blower motor.

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the blower motor control module.
2. Test for less than 1.0 ohm between the ground circuit terminal 5 and ground.

⇒	If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.

3. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 6 and ground.

⇒	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.

4. Connect a DMM between the control circuit terminal 3 and ground.
5. Cycle the blower motor from OFF to HIGH. The voltage should increase while changing between the commanded states.

⇒	If voltage remains greater than 11.5 volts while changing between the commanded states, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit test normal, replace the HVAC control module.

⇒	If voltage remains less than 1.0 volts while changing between the commanded states, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HVAC control module.

⇒	If voltage is between 1.0-11.5 volts and does not increase when changing between the commanded states, replace the HVAC control module.

6. Ignition OFF, reconnect the X2 harness connector at the blower motor control module. Disconnect the harness connector at the blower motor.
7. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal A and ground.

⇒	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.

8. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal B and the B+ circuit terminal A.
9. Turn the blower motor on high speed then to low speed. The test lamp intensity should be bright when in high speed and very dim or off when the blower is on low speed.

⇒	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.

10. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the blower motor.
