The blower with fan motor sub-assembly reads the signal from the air conditioning amplifier assembly and controls operation and speed changes of the blower motor.
If the blower air volume is weak, or there are any other blower malfunctions such as the temperature or air volume cannot be changed, the following causes are possible.
| Malfunction Status | Factor |
|---|---|
·
Blower airflow volume is weak. ·
Blower airflow volume cannot be changed. |
·
Air conditioning amplifier assembly malfunction ·
Blower with fan motor sub-assembly malfunction ·
Evaporator or heater core fin clogging ·
Clean air filter clogging |
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Air Conditioner / Active Test.
Perform the Active Test according to the display on the GTS.
