Inspection

  1. Turn the ignition on.
  2. Manually operate the control switch and measure the blower motor voltage.
  3. Select the control switch to raise the voltage to high speed.
    Specification
    Blower Speed (Manual) Motor Voltage (V)
    MANUAL BLOWER SPEED AUTO BLOWER SPEED
    1 3.4 Auto Low (4.0)
    2 4.6 4,0 ~ 5,5
    3 5,9 5,5 ~ 6,7
    4 7.2 6,7 ~ 7,7
    5 8.3 7,7 ~ 8,9
    6 9,5 8,9 ~ 10,1
    7 11.3 10.1 ~ Auto High (11.3)
    8 B+

    * MANUAL BLOWER SPEED: (3.4 V ~ B+) * AUTO BLOWER SPEED: (4.0 V ~ B+)
  4. If the measured voltage does not meet the specification, replace the power MOSFET with a known good one and check operation.
  5. If the problem is resolved, replace the power MOSFET.

Replacement

  1. Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal.
  2. Disconnect the connector (A), then remove the power MOSFET (B) after loosening the mounting screws.
  3. Install in the reverse order of removal.
