I don’t have a 2 vdc source.

I guess a 1.5 v AA battery would not work?

Would have to find the leads to disconnect from board.  This might be past my comfort zone.

There was a 2 pin plug to the fan (green and grey) and another to the heater (brown and purple) to remove the smoke unit in the first place.

#1 ensure the wires did not break off the fan motor solder joints. This is one of those more fragile areas of the engine and not much to solder to, coupled with thin wires that can break right at the joint most times.

#2 I test typically with a known half dead 9V battery. I do not advocate testing with a good new 9V battery as this can quickly damage the motor with the higher voltage, but a near dead 9V that has maybe 4-5V and relatively high internal impedance I keep handy works and does not push the motor too hard. I simply unplug the connector, and touch battery to the fan motor solder joint terminals.

Again, do not use a fresh 9V, alternatively 2 1.5V batteries in series is a good test.
