DESCRIPTION
The blower motor with fan sub-assembly is operated by signals from the air conditioning amplifier assembly through the blower resistor. Blower motor speed signals are transmitted in accordance with changes in the duty ratio. The blower motor speed becomes slower when the duty interval is wider, and the blower motor speed becomes faster when the duty interval is narrower.
