TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
System Operation
Automatic Mode
In the automatic mode, the blower motor speed is calculated by the front air control and variable blower control
based on input from the in-vehicle sensor, optical sens or, intake sensor and ambient sensor, and potentio tem-
perature control (PTC).
When the air flow is increased, the blower motor s peed is adjusted gradually to prevent a sudden increase in
air flow.
In addition to manual air flow control and the usual automat ic air flow control, starting air flow control, low
water temperature starting control and high passenger co mpartment temperature starting control are avail-
able.
Starting Blower Speed Control
Start up from cold soak condition (Automatic mode).
In a cold start up condition where the engine coolant temperature is below 50 °C (122 °F), the blower will not
operate at blower speed 1 for a short period of time ( up to 210 seconds). The exact start delay time varies
depending on the ambient and engine coolant temperatures.
In the most extreme case (very low ambient temper ature) the blower starting delay will be 210 seconds as
described above. After the coolant temperature reaches 50 °C (122 °F), or the 210 seconds has elapsed, the
blower speed will increase to the objective blower speed.
Start up from usual operating or hot soak condition (Automatic mode).
The blower will begin operation momentarily after the AUTO switch is pushed. The blower speed will gradually
rise to the objective speed over a time period of 3 seconds or less (actual time depends on the objective
blower speed).
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 speed will vary depending on the sunload. During conditions of low or no sunload, the blower
operates at low speed. During high sunload conditions, the front air control causes the blower speed to
increase.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Variable Blower Control
The variable blower control is located on the cooling unit. The vari-
able blower control receives a gate voltage from the front air control
to steplessly maintain the blower motor voltage in the 0 to 5 volt
range (approx.).
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR BLOWER MOTOR
SYMPTOM: Blower motor operation is malfunctioning under starting
blower speed control.
1.CHECK FUSES
Check 20A fuses [No. 24 and 27 (Located in the fuse and fusible link box)]. For fuse layout. Refer to PG-
74PG-74.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> GO TO 10.
2.CHECK FRONT BLOWER MOTOR POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT
