DESCRIPTION
The blower with fan motor sub-assembly is operated by signals from the air conditioning amplifier. Blower with fan motor sub-assembly speed signals are determined by changes in the duty ratio*.
The blower motor control controls the blower with fan motor sub-assembly speed. The blower motor control reads the signal from the air conditioning amplifier assembly and controls rotation and speed.
Tech Tips
*: The duty ratio is the ratio of the blower with fan motor sub-assembly on time (A) to the total of the blower with fan motor sub-assembly on and off time (A + B).

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Note
Inspect the relays for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.
PROCEDURE
PERFORM ACTUATOR CHECK
Enter actuator check mode Click here.
Place your hand in front of a vent and check that the air flow level changes according to the display code.
| Display Code | Blower Level |
|---|---|
| 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 16 |
| 3 | 16 |
| 4 | 16 |
| 5 | 16 |
| 6 | 16 |
| 7 | 16 |
| 8 | 16 |
| 9 | 31 |
| OK |
|---|
| Blower level changes in accordance with each display code. |
Tech Tips
The progression through the steps of the actuator check can be changed from automatic to manual by pressing the front DEF switch.
