2
Amount of air blown from front vents does not change.
DESCRIPTION
•  Malfunction in front blower system
•  Amount of air blown front vents does not change when switching front climate control unit airflow control dial.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
•  Front A/C unit malfunction
•  Front blower motor malfunction
•  Malfunction in front power MOS FET system
•  Front climate control unit malfunction

•  When performing an asterisked (*) troubleshooting inspection, shake the wiring harness and connectors while doing the inspection to discover whether poor contact points are the cause of any intermittent malfunctions. If there is a problem, inspect to make sure connectors, terminals and wiring harness are connected correctly and undamaged.

Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair the wiring harness between the front blower relay and ground, then go to Step 15.
7*
INSPECT TO SEE WHETHER MALFUNCTION IS IN WIRING HARNESS (OPEN OR SHORT CIRCUIT BETWEEN FRONT BLOWER RELAY AND FRONT BLOWER MOTOR) OR BLOWER RELAY
•  Measure the voltage at the following front blower relay terminal.
―  Terminal A (blower motor operation signal)
•  Is the voltage approx. 12 V?
Yes
Repair the wiring harness between the front blower relay and blower motor, then go to Step 15.
No
Replace the front blower relay, then go to Step 15.
8*
INSPECT TO SEE WHETHER MALFUNCTION IS IN BLOWER MOTOR OR ELSEWHERE
•  Measure the voltage at the following blower motor terminal.
―  Terminal B (blower motor operation signal)
•  Is the voltage approx. 12 V?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Inspect the front blower motor, then go to Step 15.
9*
INSPECT TO SEE WHETHER MALFUNCTION IS IN WIRING HARNESS (OPEN OR SHORT CIRCUIT BETWEEN FRONT BLOWER MOTOR AND FRONT POWER MOS FET) OR ELSEWHERE
•  Measure the voltage at the following terminal of front power MOS FET.
―  Terminal A (blower motor operation signal)
•  Is voltage approx. 12 V?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair the wiring harness between the front blower motor and front power MOS FET, then go to Step 15.
10*
INSPECT TO SEE WHETHER MALFUNCTION IS IN WIRING HARNESS (OPEN OR SHORT CIRCUIT BETWEEN FRONT POWER MOS FET AND GROUND) OR ELSEWHERE
•   Measure the voltage at the following front power MOS FET terminal.
―  Terminal E (blower motor operation signal)
•  Is the voltage approx. 0 V?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair the wiring harness between the front power MOS FET and ground, then go to Step 15.
11
INSPECT FRONT A/C UNIT
•  Inspect the fan for following:.
―  Is the fan free of interference with the A/C unit case?
―  Is the fan free of foreign material and obstruction?
•  Is the fan normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Remove obstruction, repair or replace the fan and front A/C unit case, then go to Step 15.
12*
INSPECT TO SEE WHETHER MALFUNCTION IS IN FRONT POWER MOS FET OR ELSEWHERE
•  Disconnect front power MOS FET connector.
•  Turn the fun switch to 1st position from off.
•  Measure the voltage at the following front power MOS FET terminal.
―  Terminal B (blower motor control signal)
•  Is voltage approx. 10 V?
Yes
Replace the front power MOS FET, then go to Step 15.
No
Go to the next step.
13*
INSPECT TO SEE WHETHER MALFUNCTION IS IN WIRING HARNESS (OPEN CIRCUIT BETWEEN FRONT POWER MOS FET AND FRONT CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT) OR ELSEWHERE
