DESCRIPTION
The rear blower motor is operated by signals from the air conditioning amplifier. Rear blower motor speed signals are transmitted by changes in the duty ratio.
Duty Ratio:
The duty ratio is the ratio of the rear blower motor ON time (A) to the total of the rear blower motor ON and OFF time (A + B).
The rear blower motor controller controls the rear blower motor speed.
