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

Does the blower motor operate at the desired speed?

--

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

Go to Step 3

1. With a scan tool, observe the Commanded Blower parameter in the Instrument Panel Integration Module data list.
2. Adjust the blower switch from the minimum speed position to the maximum speed position.

Does scan tool indicate that the Commanded Blower parameter increases within the specified range?

0-96%

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. Adjust the blower switch from the minimum speed position to the maximum speed position.

Does the test lamp illuminate and increase intensity?

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

1. Backprobe and measure the voltage from the blower motor speed control circuit of the IPM and a good ground.
2. Adjust the blower switch 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 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
