The blower motor assembly reads the signal 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 does not operate at all. (No air comes out.) ·
Blower airflow volume cannot be changed. ·
Blower airflow volume is continuously weak. ·
Blower airflow volume is sometimes weak. ·
Cooling is poor. (w/ Integration Control Panel (for Rear Automatic Cooler)) ·
Takes time to cool down. (w/ Integration Control Panel (for Rear Automatic Cooler)) |
