Troubleshooting -'96 - 98 Models
Symptom Chart
NOTE;
. Check the engine coolant level. and allow the engine to warm up before troubleshooting.
. Any abnormality must be corrected before continuing the test.
. Because of the precise measurements needed. use a multimeter when testing.
o Before performing any troubleshooting procedures check:- Fuses No. 41 11.5 Al, No. 55 (40 A) in the under-hood fuse/relay box. and No. 17 (7.5 A) in the under-dash fuse/relay
box- Grounds No. G401, G402- Cleanliness and tightness of all connectors
SymptomRomedy
Hot air flow is low.Blower motor runs. but one or more
speeds are inoperative.
Perform the procedures in the flowchart (see page 21-8).
Blower runs properly.Check for the following:. Clogged heater duct. Clogged heater outlet. Incorrect door position
No hot air flow.Blower motor does not run at all,Perform the procedures in the flowchart (see page 21-10).
Blower motor runs.Check for the following:. Clogged heater duct. Clogged blower outlet. Clogged heater valve. Faultv air mix door. Heater valve cable adjustment (see page 21-44). Air mix control cable adiustment (see page 2'l-441. Faulty cooling system thermostat (see section 10). Clogged evaporator (with air conditioning). Frozen evaporator {with air conditioning)
Mode control motor does not run, or one or more modes
are inooerative.
Perform the procedures in the flowchart (see page 21-13).
Recirculation control door does not chanqe between
FRESH and RECIRCULATE.
Perform the procedu.es in the flowchan (see page 21-16).
Both heater and A,/C do not work.Perform the procedures in the flowchart (see page 21-18),

Blower motor runs. but one orrnore speeds are inoperative,
Chsck for a short or an open inthe wire{s}:Turn the ignition switch ON {ll),and the heater fan switch OFF.
Does the blower motor run?
Check for a shon in th6 wirels):1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.2. Disconnect the blower motor2P connector,3. Remove the center dashboardlower cover (see section 20),and disconnect the heater lanswitch 6P connector,4. Disconnect the blower resistor 4P connector,5. Check for continuity betweenthe No. 2,3, 4 and 5lerminalsof the heater fan switch 6Pconnector and body ground
individually.
ls there continuity?Reolace the heater fan switch,
Repair short in the wire(s)beiween the blower resistor, theheater tan switch and the blowermotor,

ls there approx. 2 - 3 ohms?
Check for an open in the wire(s):1. Reconnect the blower resistor
4P connector,2. Remove the center dashboardlower cover (see section 20),and disconnect the heater fanswitch 6P connector.3. Turn the ignition switch ON (ll).
4. Ground each of these termi-nals individually in the tollow_ing order: No. 4, 2, 5 and 3.
Does the blower motor run atprogressively higher speeds?Reolace the hoater fan switch.
Repair open or cause ol excessiveresistance in the appropriatewire{sl between the blower resis-tor and the heater {an switch.
Check the blower resislor:1. Turn the ignitjon switch OFF.2. Disconnect the blower resistor 4P connector.3, N4easure the resistancebetween the No. 2 and No. 4
