AA6 COMPARE OPERATION OF THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS

With the engine running, set both front seats to HIGH cool. Note the airflow exhausting from the passenger seat backrest blower motor and compare it to the airflow exhausting from the driver seat backrest blower motor.

Yes

GO to AA7

No

If the airflow exhausting from the passenger seat backrest blower motor is not comparable to the airflow exhausting from the driver seat backrest blower motor, GO to AA8 If the passenger seat backrest blower motor blower operation changed while carrying out the wiggle test, IDENTIFY and REPAIR the wiring fault.

AA7 COMPARE OPERATION OF THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS WHILE OCCUPIED

Note the airflow exhausting from the passenger seat backrest blower motor with the passenger seat occupied and compare it to the airflow exhausting from the driver seat backrest blower motor with the driver seat occupied.
