DESCRIPTION
The blower with fan motor sub-assembly operates according to signals from the air conditioning amplifier assembly. The blower with fan motor sub-assembly speed signals are transmitted by changes in the duty ratio.
Duty Ratio:
The duty ratio is the ratio of the blower with fan motor sub-assembly on time (T1) to the total of the blower with fan motor sub-assembly on and off time (T2).
The air conditioning amplifier assembly controls the blower with fan motor sub-assembly speed.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.
PROCEDURE
