DESCRIPTION

Air Conditioning System - Blower Motor Circuit. AIR CONDITIONING. Lexus IS250 IS220d GSE20 ALE20

The blower motor is operated by signals from the A/C amplifier. The blower motor speed is controlled using various duty ratios.


Duty Ratio:
The duty ratio is the ratio of the blower motor ON time (A) to the total of the blower motor ON and OFF time (A + B).
The blower motor controller controls the blower motor speed.

7.INSPECT AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER
Air Conditioning System - Blower Motor Circuit. AIR CONDITIONING. Lexus IS250 IS220d GSE20 ALE20

Remove the A/C amplifier with its connectors still connected.

Turn the engine switch on (IG) .

Turn the blower switch ON (Lo).

Measure the waveform between terminal J58-11 (BLW) of the A/C amplifier and body ground.

  • OK:
  • Waveform is as shown in the illustration.
  • HINT:
  • Waveform varies with the blower level.
