Inspection

1. Ignition "ON".

2. Manually operate the control switch and measure the voltage of blower motor.

З. Select the control switch to raise voltage until high speed.

Specification

*AUTO COOLING : Auto speed (4.5V~B+) *AUTO HEATING : Auto speed (4.5V~11.0V)

4. If the measured voltage is not specification, substitute with a known-good power mosfet and check for proper operation.

5. If the problem is collected, replace the power mosfet.
