Fan Control Amplifier

2010 Subaru Impreza 2.5i, 4D Sedan, AutomaticSECTION Fan Control Amplifier

The fan control amplifier uses a MOS* type field effect transistor. This amplifier steplessly regulates the blower motor voltage (in the range between approximately 3V and 12V) in response to gate voltage signals issued by the auto A/C control module.

Since this fan control amplifier features very small voltage drop, it can handle the maximum voltage for the maximum blower speed without need for a high-voltage relay.

*MOS = metal oxide semiconductor
