Blower Motor Relay: Description and Operation
BLOWER MOTOR RELAY

(ISO)

The blower motor relay (also referred to as Voltage Reduction Relay or VRR) is an International Standards Organization -type relay. The relay isan electromechanical device that switches battery current from a fuse in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) directly to the blower motor. The relay isenergized when the relay coil is provided a voltage signal by the ignition switch. This arrangement reduces the amount of battery current that must flowthrough the ignition switch.

The blower motor relay control circuit is protected by a fuse located in the junction block. When the relay is de-energized, the blower motor receives nobattery current. The VRR is used to reduce blower speeds in Heat mode. In non-A/C modes, the relay is de-energized and switches the current flowthrough an added resistance in the resistor block. When an A/C mode is selected, the relay is energized and the normally open contact is used to bypassthe added resistor. The fuse is located in the small relay fuse block that is attached to the Junction Block. The relay is energized by grounding the coillow side with the HVAC switch in any A/C mode.

Blower Motor Relay (VRR) Location

The blower motor relay is mounted with a single screw directly to the instrument panel's structural plastic inside the glove box opening, next to theleft-side energy-absorbing bracket. Refer to the PDC label for blower motor relay identification and location.

The blower motor relay cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.(VRR)

75 5 ohms

2. Resistance between terminals 85 and 86 (electromagnet) should be . If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.3. Connect a battery to terminals 85 and 86. There should now be continuity between terminals 30 and 87, and no continuity between terminals 87A

and 30. If OK, see Relay Circuit Test. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.

RELAY CIRCUIT TEST

1. The relay common feed terminal cavity (30) is connected to fused battery feed directly from a fuse in the Power Distribution Center (PDC), and
should be hot at all times. Check for battery voltage at the PDC cavity for relay terminal 30. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, repair the open circuitto the PDC fuse as required.

2. The relay normally closed terminal cavity (87A) is not used for this application. Go to Step 3.3. The relay normally open terminal cavity (87) is connected to the blower motor. When the relay is energized, terminal 87 is connected to terminal

30 and provides full battery current to the blower motor feed circuit. There should be continuity between the PDC cavity for terminal 87 and the blower motor relay output circuit cavity of the blower motor wire harness connector at all times. If OK, go to Step 4. If not OK, repair the opencircuit to the blower motor as required.

4. The coil battery terminal cavity (86) is connected to the ignition switch. When the ignition switch is placed in the ON position, fused ignition

switch output is directed from a fuse in the junction block to the relay electromagnetic coil to energize the relay. There should be battery voltage atthe PDC cavity for relay terminal 86 with the ignition switch in the ON position. If OK, go to Step 5. If not OK, repair the open circuit to thejunction block fuse as required.

5. The coil ground terminal cavity (85) is connected to ground. This terminal supplies the ground for the relay electromagnetic coil. There should be
continuity between the PDC cavity for relay terminal 85 and a good ground at all times. If not OK, repair the open circuit as required.

ADDITIONAL RELAY CIRCUIT TESTING

-

The relay common feed terminal cavity 30 is connected to the low side of the blower motor. When the blower switch is Off and the ignition is On,there should be battery voltage present on this circuit. When the ignition switch is On, the voltage at that point should vary based on blower switchposition.

-

2 volts

The normally closed contact cavity 87A is connected to the resistor block cavity 3. Check this circuit by turning the blower switch to High andcycling between Heat and A/C modes. The voltage in the Heat mode should be approximately . The blower switch must be in High blowerspeed position during this check.

­The normally open contact on cavity 87 is tied to both the resistor block cavity 6 and the HVAC blower switch cavity 6. Check for continuity onthis circuit.

­The coil B+ contact cavity 86 is connected to an ignition run start feed. Battery voltage should be present on this circuit when the ignition switch isin the Run position.

-

The coil ground (-) cavity 85 is connected to the HVAC switch cavity 2 as well as the JTEC and A/C high pressure switch. Battery voltage shouldbe present on this circuit when the ignition switch is in the Run position and a Heat mode is selected on the control head. When an A/C mode isselected, the voltage at this point should be less than .1 volt

­If the blower motor does not operate, or only operates in some modes, check for a faulty connection at the VRR, or defective blower motor relay(VRR).

Section Identification and Information

Section Identification

The wiring diagrams are grouped into individual sections. If a component is most likely found in a particular group, it will be shown complete (all wires,connectors, and pins) within that group. For example, the Auto Shutdown Relay is most likely to be found in Group 30, so it is shown there complete. Itcan, however, be shown partially in another group if it contains some associated wiring.
