Heater and Ventilation: 7A-5
• Check for operation and current.
a. Put blower motor (1) in a soft-jawed vise.
b. Connect battery to blower motor as shown.
c. Check if blower motor operates smoothly without
noise.
d. Check if ammeter indicates the specified current.
If measured current is out of specification, replace
blower motor.
Blower motor specified current at 12 V
16 A maximum
Blower Motor Resistor Removal and Installation
S7RS0B7106005
Removal
1) Disconnect negative (–) cable from battery.
2) Disable air bag system referring to “Disabling Air
Bag System in Section 8B”.
3) Remove glove box from instrument panel.
4) Remove bolts (1) from instrument panel.
5) Remove foot duct (1) from HVAC unit by removing
screw (2).
6) Remove connector (1) from blower motor resistor
(2), and then remove blower motor resistor from
HVAC unit by removing screws (3).
Installation
Reverse removal procedure noting the following
instruction.
• Enable air bag system referring to “Enabling Air Bag
System in Section 8B”.
Blower Motor Resistor Inspection
S7RS0B7106006
Measure each terminal-to-terminal resistance. If
measured resistance is out of specification, replace
blower motor resistor.
Blower motor resistor resistance
“H” – “MH”: Approximately 0.6 Ω at 20 – 25 °C (68 –
77 °F)
“MH” – “ML”: Approximately 1.6 Ω at 20 – 25 °C (68 –
77 °F)
“ML” – “L”: Approximately 3.4 Ω at 20 – 25 °C (68 –
77 °F)
