Original Abstract Submitted
a fan control apparatus of a vehicle monitors a state of a fan of an air conditioner and controls operation of the fan based on the monitored state of the fan. a vehicle includes an air conditioner including a motor coupled fan, a current sensor, a speed sensor, a voltage sensor, a communication device, a memory, and a fan control apparatus. the fan control apparatus is configured to identify a positional change of the first performance point periodically generated on the first reference performance curve map, identify a positional change of the second performance point periodically generated on the second reference performance curve map, and determine if performance degradation of the fan occurs based on the positional change of the first performance point and the positional change of the second performance point.
