Blower Motor

BLOWER MOTOR

Description


COMPONENT DESCRIPTION

Brush-less Motor





The blower motor utilizes a brush-less motor with a rotating magnet.
Quietness is improved over previous motors where the brush was the point of contact and the coil rotated.







Component Function Check


1. CONFIRM SYMPTOM BY PERFORMING THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONAL CHECK

1.Press fan (UP: +) switch. Blower should operate on low speed.
2.Press fan (UP: +) switch, and continue checking blower speed and fan symbol until all speeds checked.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- INSPECTION END
NO- Go to diagnosis procedure. .


Diagnosis Procedure


1. PERFORM SELF-DIAGNOSIS

Perform self-diagnosis function STEP-4. Without ACCS (WITHOUT ACCS) or With ACCS (WITH ACCS).





Does blower motor speed change according to each code No.?
YES- INSPECTION END
NO- GO TO 2.

2. CHECK POWER SUPPLY FOR BLOWER MOTOR

1.Disconnect blower motor connector.
2.Turn ignition switch ON.
3.Check voltage between blower motor harness connector and ground.





Is the inspection result normal?
YES- GO TO 3.
NO- GO TO 6.

3. CHECK BLOWER MOTOR GROUND CIRCUIT

1.Turn ignition switch OFF.
2.Check continuity between blower motor harness connector and ground.





Is the inspection result normal?
YES- GO TO 4.
NO- Repair harness or connector.

4. CHECK CIRCUIT CONTINUITY BETWEEN BLOWER MOTOR AND UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP.

1.Disconnect unified meter and A/C amp. connector.
2.Check continuity between blower motor harness connector and unified meter and A/C amp. harness connector.





3.Check continuity between blower motor harness connector and ground.





Is the inspection result normal?
YES- GO TO 5.
NO- Repair harness or connector.

5. CHECK UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP. OUTPUT SIGNAL

1.Reconnect blower motor connector and unified meter and A/C amp. connector.
2.Turn ignition switch ON.
3.Set MODE switch to VENT position.
4.Change fan speed from Lo to Hi, and check duty ratios between blower motor harness connector and ground by using an oscilloscope. Normal terminal 2 drive signal duty ratios are shown in the table below.





Is the inspection result normal?
YES- Replace blower motor after confirming the fan air flow does not change.
NO- Replace unified meter and A/C amp.
