Replace the fuse(s), and recheck. If the fuse(s) blow again, check for a short in the No. 8 (40 A) fuse and the No. 16 (7.5 A) fuse circuits.οΏ½
7.
Connect blower motor 2P connector terminal No. 2 to body ground with a jumper wire.
8.
Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode.
Does the blower motor run?
YES -
Go to step 9.
NO -
Go to step 25.
9.
Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), or press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.
10.
Disconnect the jumper wire.
11.
Disconnect the power transistor 5P connector.
12.
Check for continuity between power transistor 5P connector terminal No. 5 and body ground.
Is there continuity?
YES -
Go to step 13.
NO -
Check for an open in the wire between the power transistor and body ground. If the wire is OK, check for poor ground at G302
Harness Locations.οΏ½
13.
Connect power transistor 5P connector terminals No. 4 and No. 5 with a jumper wire.
14.
Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.
Does the blower motor run at high speed?
YES -
Go to step 15.
NO -
Repair an open in the GRN wire between the power transistor and the blower motor.οΏ½
15.
Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), or press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF.
16.
Disconnect the jumper wire.
17.
Disconnect climate control unit connector A (32P).
18.
Check for continuity between body ground and climate control unit connector A (32P) terminals No. 27 and No. 28 individually.
Is there continuity?
YES -
Repair a short to body ground in the wire(s) between the climate control unit and the power transistor.οΏ½
NO -
Go to step 19.
19.
Check for continuity between the following terminals of the climate control unit connector A (32P) and the power transistor 5P connector.
Is there continuity?
YES -
Go to step 20.
NO -
Repair an open in the wire(s) between the climate control unit and the power transistor.οΏ½
20.
Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode.
21.
Measure the voltage between body ground and climate control unit connector A (32P) terminals No. 27 and No. 28 individually.
Is there voltage?
YES -
Repair a short to power in the wire(s).οΏ½
NO -
Go to step 22.
22.
Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), or press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.
23.
Reconnect climate control unit connector A (32P).
24.
Test the power transistor
Blower Power Transistor Test.
Is the power transistor OK?
YES -
Check for loose wires or poor connections at the climate control unit connector A (32P) and at the power transistor 5P connector. If the connections are good, substitute a known-good climate control unit, and recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away, replace the original climate control unit
Climate Control Unit Removal/Installation.οΏ½
NO -
Replace the power transistor.οΏ½
25.
Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), or press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.
26.
Disconnect the jumper wire.
27.
Disconnect the blower motor 2P connector.
28.
Measure the voltage between blower motor 2P connector terminal No. 1 and body ground.
Is there battery voltage?
YES -
Replace the blower motor
Blower Unit Component Replacement.οΏ½
NO -
Go to step 29.
29.
Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), or press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.
30.
Remove the blower motor relay from the under-hood fuse/relay box, and test it
Testing and Inspection.
Is the relay OK?
YES -
Go to step 31.
NO -
Replace the blower motor relay.οΏ½
31.
Check for continuity between blower motor relay 4P socket terminal No. 2 and blower motor 2P connector terminal No. 1.
Is there continuity?
YES -
Go to step 32.
NO -
Repair an open in the wire between the blower motor relay and blower motor.οΏ½
32.
Measure the voltage between blower motor relay 4P socket terminal No. 1 and body ground.
Is there battery voltage?
YES -
Go to step 33.
NO -
Replace the under-hood fuse/relay box
Under-Hood Fuse/Relay Box Removal/Installation.οΏ½
33.
Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode.
34.
Measure the voltage between blower motor relay 4P socket terminal No. 3 and body ground.
Is there battery voltage?
YES -
Check for an open in the wire between blower motor relay 4P socket terminal No. 3 and body ground. If the wire is OK, check for poor body ground at G302
Harness Locations.οΏ½
NO -
Repair an open in the wire between the No. 16 (7.5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box and the blower motor relay 4P socket.οΏ½
