When the No. 2 heater control sub-assembly is operated, the HTR FR relay will turn on to allow current to flow to the blower motor and then the motor will start rotating. Operating the No. 2 heater control sub-assembly switches the current flow between the blower resistor and body ground, thus, shifting the rotation speed of the blower motor with fan sub-assembly.
If the airflow volume is low or the blower speed cannot be changed, the following factors may be the cause.
| Symptom | 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. |
·
HTR FR relay malfunction ·
Blower motor with fan sub-assembly malfunction ·
Blower resistor malfunction ·
No. 2 heater control sub-assembly malfunction ·
Air conditioning amplifier assembly malfunction ·
