Rear Blower Motor Power Module - Operation
OPERATION
The rear blower motor power module is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated lead and connector of the rear body wire harness.
A second lead and connector of the wire harness is connected to the rear blower motor. The rear blower motor power module allows the
microprocessor-based automatic temperature control (ATC) A/C-heater control to calculate and provide infinitely variable blower motor speeds based
upon either manual blower switch input or the ATC programming using a pulse width modulated (PWM) circuit strategy.
The PWM voltage is applied to a comparator circuit which compares the PWM signal voltage to the rear blower motor feedback voltage. The resulting
output drives the power module circuitry, which provides a linear output voltage to change or maintain the desired blower speed.
The rear blower motor power module is diagnosed using a scan tool See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and
Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated Procedures.
The rear blower motor power module cannot be adjusted or repaired must be replaced if inoperative or damaged.
