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 |
|---|---|
| Airflow volume cannot be changed | ·
Air conditioning amplifier assembly malfunction ·
Blower with fan motor sub-assembly malfunction ·
Air conditioning control assembly malfunction ·
Air conditioning filter clogging ·
Evaporator or heater core fin clogging |
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
