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 Climate Control Panel data list.
2. Place the blower motor 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?

10-100%

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 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 HVAC control module connectors are connected during this step in order to avoid misdiagnosis.

1. Measure the voltage from the blower speed control circuit and a good ground.
2. Place the blower motor switch from the minimum speed position to the maximum speed position.

Does the measured voltage decrease between the specified values?

4.75-1.5 V

Go to Step 9

Go to Step 7

1. Turn OFF the ignition.
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
