INSPECTION PROCEDURE 3: The blower does not work <Front side>




COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM


If the blower motor does not operate, the blower motor circuit system may be defective.

PROBABLE CAUSES



  • Malfunction of the fuse
  • Malfunction of the fusible link
  • Malfunction of the blower relay
  • Malfunction of the blower motor
  • Malfunction of the blower switch
  • Malfunction of the A/C fan control resistor
  • Malfunction of the heater controller assembly
  • Damaged wiring harness or connector

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).
Repair or replace the connector(s) or wiring harness.

STEP 12. Resistance measurement at the blower relay connector.


(1)Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
(2)Continuity between terminal 2 and body earth
OK: Continuity exists (2 Ω or less)

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 14.
Go to Step 13.

STEP 13. Check open circuit in blower relay earth line between blower relay connector and body earth.


Q. Is the check result normal?

Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).
