PINPOINT TEST O : The Blower Motor Is Inoperative: Notes

Refer to MANUAL CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

When the blower motor relay coil receives a ground from the HVAC module, the relay coil is energized and voltage is delivered to the blower motor and the blower motor speed control from the relay. Ground for the motor is provided from the blower motor speed control. Ground is provided for the blower control module. The HVAC module sends a PWM signal to the blower motor speed control to control the blower speed.

DTC Fault Trigger Conditions 

DTC Description Fault Trigger Conditions
B10AF:12 Blower Fan Relay: Circuit Short to Battery This CMDTC sets when the HVAC module senses a short to voltage on the relay coil ground circuit when the module is grounding the circuit.
B10AF:13 Blower Fan Relay: Circuit Open This CMDTC sets when the HVAC module senses no voltage on the relay coil ground circuit.
B10B9:14 Blower Control: Circuit Short to Ground or Open This CMDTC and on-demand DTC sets when the HVAC module senses no voltage or an open on the blower motor control PWM circuit.
