Blower Motor Circuit: Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Toyota Corolla. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Body / Air Conditioner / Active Test.
- Check the operation by referring to the table below.AIR CONDITIONER
Tester Display Test Part Control Range Diagnostic Note Blower Motor
(Blower Motor)Blower motor Min.: 0, Max.: 31 - Result
Result Proceed to OK A NG (blower motor does not operate) B NG (blower motor operates but does not change speed) C
C → See step 6
B → See step 2
A → See step 7
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (BLOWER MOTOR - BODY GROUND)
- Disconnect the blower motor connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition E23-1 (GND) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*a Front view of wire harness connector
(to Blower Motor)
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (BLOWER MOTOR - BATTERY)
- Disconnect the blower motor connector.
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition E23-3 (+B) - Body ground Always 11 to 14 V TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*a Front view of wire harness connector
(to Blower Motor)
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (A/C AMPLIFIER - BLOWER MOTOR)
- Disconnect the A/C amplifier connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition E23-2 (SI) - E30-23 (BLW) Always Below 1 Ω E23-2 (SI) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- INSPECT BLOWER MOTOR
- Reconnect the connector to the blower motor.
- Measure the voltage on the A/C amplifier connector side according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition E30-23 (BLW) - Body ground Ignition switch ON 4.5 to 5.5 V TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*a Front view of wire harness connector
(to A/C Amplifier)
NG → See step 8
OK: Go to next step
- INSPECT AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER
- Remove the A/C amplifier.
- Reconnect the connector to the A/C amplifier.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Turn the blower switch on.
- Measure the waveform between terminal E30-23 (BLW) of the A/C amplifier and body ground.
Item Content Tool setting 1 V/DIV., 500 μs/DIV. Vehicle condition Ignition switch ON
Blower switch: ONOK
Waveform is as shown in the illustration.
HINT:
Waveform varies with the blower level.
