Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Blower Motor Speed Control
The A/C blower motor speed control is a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) type which provides variable blower speed control of blower motor. A/C blower motor speed control is controlled by switching control signal voltage of 5 volts OFF and ON 2,000 times per second. By varying ratio of time on (5 volts) to time off (0 volts), EATC module tells A/C blower motor speed control how fast blower motor should run.
The A/C blower motor speed control has circuitry to protect blower motor from burning out in event of a locked rotor condition. It can compensate for changes in battery positive voltage which prevents blower speed from slowing down when engine is idling and will provide up to a maximum of 30 amps for blower motor operation with battery voltages between 10 and 16 volts.
