Blower Motor: Description and Operation

(ATC) Blower Motor = controlled via power module = Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)

(Manual) Blower Motor = hardwired to control head = resistor block

BLOWER MOTOR POWER MODULE
The blower motor power module is only used in vehicles equipped with Automatic Temperature Control (ATC). It is located on the lower right side of the HVAC unit housing, and is controlled by the Body Control Module (BCM).

The power module receives pulse width modulated (PWM) signals from the BCM. The power module varies voltage to the blower motor for different blower speeds based on the ATC software. There are 14 selectable speeds, while the Auto mode provides 256 variations.
