Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
-
This step tests for a blower motor that does not operate regardless of the desired blower motor speed.
-
This step tests for a blower motor that operates, yet does not accurately respond to the desired blower motor speed.
-
This step verifies that there is power to the HVAC control assembly.
-
The voltage will vary between 0-5 volts during normal operation. The HVAC control assembly connector must be connected during this step.
