    NG 

    REPLACE BLOWER MOTOR WITH FAN SUB-ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL [06/2015 - ] 

    Result:  1

    OK 

    See step  6

  6. INSPECT AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY 
    1. Remove the air conditioning amplifier assembly.

      Refer to REMOVAL [06/2015 - ]

    2. Reconnect the air conditioning amplifier assembly connector.
    3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    4. Turn the blower switch on (LO).
    5. Measure the waveform between terminal F28-22 (BLW) of the air conditioning amplifier assembly and ground point.

      OK

      Waveform is similar to that shown in the illustration.

      HINT: 

      The waveform varies with the blower speed.
