2008 Chevrolet Chevy Express G3500, Van Passenger ExtendedSECTION Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2008 GMC Yukon XL, 2008 GMC Yukon, 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2008 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the blower motor control module.
  2. Test for less than 1.0 ohm between the ground circuit terminal 5 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 6 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the B+ circuit fuse (HVAC BLWR 40-amp) in the underhood fuse block is open, test all components connected to the B+ circuit and replace as necessary.
  4. Connect a DMM between the control circuit terminal 3 and ground.
  5. Cycle the blower motor from OFF to HIGH. The voltage should increase while changing between the commanded states.
    • If voltage remains greater than 11.5 volts while changing between the commanded states, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit test normal, replace the HVAC control module.
    • If voltage remains less than 1.0 volts while changing between the commanded states, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HVAC control module.
    • If voltage is between 1.0-11.5 volts and does not increase when changing between the commanded states, replace the HVAC control module.
  6. Ignition OFF, connect the X2 harness connector at the blower motor control module. Disconnect the harness connector at the blower motor.
  7. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal A and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the blower motor control module.
  8. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal B and the B+ circuit terminal A.
  9. Turn the blower motor on high speed then to low speed. The test lamp intensity should be bright when in high speed and very dim or off when the blower is on low speed.
    • If the test lamp intensity does not vary, test the control circuit for a short to voltage, short to ground, or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the blower motor control module.
  10. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the blower motor.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
