COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Intake Door Motor
The intake door motor is attached to the blower unit. It rotates so that
air is drawn from inlets set by the unified meter and A/C amp. Motor
rotation is conveyed to a lever which activates the intake door.
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE FOR INTAKE DOOR MOTOR
SYMPTOM: Intake door motor does not operate normally.
Perform diagnosis procedure. Refer to AT C - 5 9 , "
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE FOR LAN CIRCUIT" .

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Component Parts
Fan speed control system components are:
Unified meter and A/C amp.
A/C LAN system (PBR built-in mode door motor, air mix door motor and intake motor)
Fan control amp.
In-vehicle sensor
Ambient sensor
Sunload sensor
Intake sensor
System Operation
Automatic Mode
In the automatic mode, the blower motor speed control signal is calculated by the unified meter and A/C amp.
based on the input from the PBR, in-vehicle sensor, sunload sensor, intake sensor and ambient sensor.
The blower motor applied voltage ranges from approximately 3.5 volts (lowest speed) to 12 volts (highest
speed).
The control blower speed (in the range of 3.5 to 12 V), unified meter and A/C amp. supplies a gate voltage to
the fan control amp. Based on this voltage, fan control amp. controls voltage supplied to the blower motor.
Starting Fan Speed Control
Start up from COLD SOAK Condition (Automatic mode)
In a cold start up condition where the engine coolant temperature is below 56°C (133°F), the blower will not
operate for a short period of time (up to 150 seconds). The exact start delay time varies depending on the
ambient and engine coolant temperature.
In the most extreme case (very low ambient) the blower starting delay will be 150 seconds as described
above. After this delay, the blower will operate at low speed until the engine coolant temperature rises above
56°C (133°F), and then the blower speed will increase to the objective speed.
Start up from usual or HOT SOAK Condition (Automatic mode)
The blower will begin operation momentarily after the AUTO switch is pressed. The blower speed will gradu-
ally rise to the objective speed over a time period of 3 seconds or less (actual time depends on the objective
blower speed).

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Blower Speed Compensation
Sunload
When the in-vehicle temperature and the set temperature are very close, the blower will be operating at low
speed. The low speed will vary depending on the sunload. During conditions of low or no sunload, the blower
speed is low (approx. 3.5 V). During high sunload conditions, unified meter and A/C amp. raise the blower
speed (approx. 6.5 V).
Fan Speed Control Specification
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Fan Control Amp.
The fan control amp. is located on the blower unit. The fan control
amp. receives a gate voltage from unified meter and A/C amp. to
steplessly maintain the blower fan motor voltage in the 3.5 to 12 volt
range.
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE FOR BLOWER MOTOR
SYMPTOM: Blower motor operation is malfunctioning.
