Automatic
Blower motor speed is determined by the voltage applied to the blower motor. This voltage varies from approximately
4 volts (low speed) to approximately
12 volts (high speed). The voltage applied to the blower motor is controlled by the blower motor control module. The blower motor speed can be adjusted manually by pushing the fan switch to up or down or automatically by placing the heater-A/C control in the AUTO mode. The heater-A/C control sends blower request information to the blower motor control module in the form of a variable voltage signal. This voltage signal ranges from approximately
0.5 volts (for low speed) to approximately
7 volts (lot high speed). An amplifier and driver circuit in the blower motor control module supplies voltage
(4 to 12 volts) to the blower motor according to the request signal from the heater-A/C control.
