Abstract

A system and a method of controlling a blower of a vehicle. The method includes detecting, by a controller, a turning of a key to an off position of the vehicle. In addition, the controller is configured to detect whether a high voltage DC-DC converter and a high voltage battery are normally operated in response to detecting the turning of the key to an off position. Regenerative energy generated by a regenerative brake operation of the blower is transmitted by the controller through two different paths based on whether the high voltage DC-DC converter and the high voltage battery are normally operated.
