Manual Air Conditioning
1. Heater Blower Motor Operation
Current is applied at all times through the HTR fuse to TERMINAL 1 of the HEATER relay.
When the ignition SW is turned on, current flows through the HEATER fuse to TERMINAL 3 of the HEATER relay to
TERMINAL 5 to TERMINAL 8 of the blower control SW.
*Low speed operation
When the blower SW is moved to LO position, the current to TERMINAL 8 of the blower control SW flows to TERMINAL
1 to GROUND, causing the HEATER relay is turned on. This causes the current to flow from the HTR fuse to TERMINAL
1 of the HEATER relay to TERMINAL 2 to TERMINAL 2 of the blower motor to TERMINAL 1 to TERMINAL 1 of the
blower resistor to TERMINAL 4 to GROUND, causing the blower motor to rotate at low speed.
*Medium speed operation (Operation at M1, M2)
When the blower SW is moved to M1 position, the current to TERMINAL 8 of the blower control SW flows to TERMINAL
1 to GROUND, turns the HEATER relay on. This causes the current to flow from the HTR fuse to TERMINAL 1 of the
HEATER relay to TERMINAL 2 to TERMINAL 2 of the blower motor to TERMINAL 1 to TERMINAL 1 of the blower
resistor to TERMINAL 2 to TERMINAL 6 of the blower control SW to TERMINAL 1 to GROUND. At this time, the blower
resistance of the blower resistor is less than at low speed, so the blower motor rotates at medium low speed.
When the blower control SW is moved to M2 position, current flowing through the motor flows from TERMINAL 1 of the
blower resistor to TERMINAL 3 to TERMINAL 5 of the blower control SW to TERMINAL 1 to GROUND. At this time,
resistance of the blower resistor is less than at M1 position, so the blower motor rotates at medium high speed.
*High speed operation
When the blower SW is moved to HI position, the current flows to TERMINAL 8 of the blower control SW to TERMINAL
1 to GROUND and turns the HEATER relay on.
This causes the current to flow from the HTR fuse to TERMINAL 1 of the HEATER relay to TERMINAL 2 to TERMINAL 2
of the blower motor to TERMINAL 1 to TERMINAL 4 of the blower control SW to TERMINAL 1 to GROUND, causing the
blower motor to rotate at high speed.
2. Air Conditioning Operation
If the A/C control SW is turned on when the blower SW is set to on, A/C operation starts. However, when the mode SW is at
DEF or FOOT/DEF position, forcibly the air intake is set to FRESH mode and the A/C operates.

BLOWER MOTOR CIRCUIT
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The blower motor is operated by signals from the A/C amplifier
assy. Blower motor speed signals are transmitted by changes
in the Duty Ratio.
Duty Ratio
The duty ratio is the ratio of the period of continuity in one cycle.
For example, if A is the period of continuity in one cycle, B is the
period of non-continuity.
