Amount of air blown from vents does not change.

DESCRIPTION

• Malfunction in blower system.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

• Malfunction in A/C unit
• Malfunction in blower motor
• Malfunction in power MOS FET system
• Malfunction in climate control unit

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

Yes
Remove obstruction, then go to Step 15.
No
Inspect if there are any obstruction in passage between air dist unit to A/C unit, then go to Step 15.

Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair wiring harness between blower relay and ground, then go to Step 15.
7*

INSPECT TO SEE WHETHER MALFUNCTION IS IN WIRING HARNESS (LACK OF CONTINUITY BETWEEN BLOWER RELAY AND BLOWER MOTOR) OR BLOWER RELAY

• Test voltage at the following terminal of blower relay.

Yes
Repair wiring harness between blower relay and blower motor, then go to Step 15.
No
Replace blower relay, then go to Step 15.
8*

INSPECT TO SEE WHETHER MALFUNCTION IS IN BLOWER MOTOR OR ELSEWHERE

• Test voltage at the following terminal of blower motor.
- Terminal B (blower motor operation signal)
• Is voltage approx. 12 V?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Inspect blower motor, then go to Step 15.
9*

INSPECT TO SEE WHETHER MALFUNCTION IS IN WIRING HARNESS (LACK OF CONTINUITY BETWEEN BLOWER MOTOR AND POWER MOS FET) OR ELSEWHERE

• Test voltage at the following terminal of power MOS FET.
- Terminal C (blower motor operation signal)
• Is voltage approx. 12 V?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair wiring harness between blower motor and power MOS FET, then go to Step 15.
10*

INSPECT TO SEE WHETHER MALFUNCTION IS IN WIRING HARNESS (LACK OF CONTINUITY BETWEEN POWER MOS FET AND GROUND) OR ELSEWHERE

• Test voltage at the following terminal of power MOS FET.
- Terminal D (power MOS FET GND)
• Is voltage approx. 0 V?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair wiring harness between power MOS FET and ground, then go to Step 15.
11

INSPECT A/C UNIT

• Inspect fan in A/C unit.
- Is fan free of interference with A/C unit case?
- Is fan free of foreign material and obstruction?
• Is fan okay?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Remove obstruction, repair or replace fan and A/C unit case, then go to Step 15.
12*

INSPECT TO SEE WHETHER MALFUNCTION IS IN POWER MOS FET OR ELSEWHERE

• Disconnect power MOS FET connector.
• Turn the fan switch to 1st position from off.
• Test voltage at the following terminal of power MOS FET.
- Terminal B (blower motor control signal)
• Is voltage approx. 10 V?
Yes
No
Go to the next step.
13*

INSPECT TO SEE WHETHER MALFUNCTION IS IN WIRING HARNESS (LACK OF CONTINUITY BETWEEN POWER MOS FET AND CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT) OR ELSEWHERE
