Blower Motor Controller InspectionS6RW0D7226012
1) Check internal circuit of controller for resistance as
follows.
a) Measure resistance between “1” terminal and “2”
terminal of blower motor controller.
Blower motor controller resistance
“1” – “2”: approximately 10 kΩ
If resistance does not meet above specification,
replace blower motor controller.
b) Using ohmmeter, connect its positive terminal to
“3” terminal of blower motor controller and
negative terminal to “1” terminal of blower motor
controller and check that there is no continuity.
2) Check controller for operation as follows.
a) Using bulb (3.4 W) (5) and service wire, connect
battery positive terminal to “3” terminal of blower
motor controller as shown in figure.
b) Using service wire, connect battery negative
terminal to “1” terminal of blower motor
controller.
c) Arrange 3 new 1.5 V batteries (6) in series
(check that total voltage is 4.5 – 5.0 V) and
connect its positive terminal to “2” terminal of
blower motor controller and negative terminal to
“1” terminal of blower motor controller.
Then, check that bulb lights. If bulb does not light
under the above conditions, replace blower
motor controller.
