cover for compressor clutch relay identification and
location.
The black, molded plastic case is the most visible
component of the compressor clutch relay. Five male
spade-type terminals extend from the bottom of the
base to connect the relay to the vehicle electrical sys-
tem, and the ISO designation for each terminal is
molded into the base adjacent to each terminal. Refer
to (Fig. 8)
OPERATION
The compressor clutch relay is an electromechani-
cal switch that uses a low current input from the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to control the high
current output to the compressor clutch electromag-
netic coil. The movable common feed contact point is
held against the fixed normally closed contact point
by spring pressure. When the relay coil is energized,
an electromagnetic field is produced by the coil wind-
ings. This electromagnetic field draws the movable
relay contact point away from the fixed normally
closed contact point, and holds it against the fixed
normally open contact point. When the relay coil is
de-energized, spring pressure returns the movable
contact point back against the fixed normally closed
contact point. The resistor or diode is connected in
parallel with the relay coil in the relay, and helps to
dissipate voltage spikes and electromagnetic interfer-
ence that can be generated as the electromagnetic
field of the relay coil collapses.
The compressor clutch relay terminals are con-
nected to the vehicle electrical system through a
receptacle in the Intelligent Power Module (IPM).
The inputs and outputs of the compressor clutch
relay include:
²The common feed terminal (30) receives a bat-
tery current input from a fuse in the IPM through a
fused B(+) circuit at all times.
²The coil ground terminal (85) receives a ground
input from the PCM through the compressor clutch
relay control circuit only when the PCM electroni-
cally pulls the control circuit to ground.²The coil battery terminal (86) receives a battery
current input from the PCM through a fused ignition
switch output (run-start) circuit only when the igni-
tion switch is in the On or Start positions.
²The normally open terminal (87) provides a bat-
tery current output to the compressor clutch coil
through the compressor clutch relay output circuit
only when the compressor clutch relay coil is ener-
gized.
²The normally closed terminal (87A) is not con-
nected to any circuit in this application, but provides
a battery current output only when the compressor
clutch relay coil is de-energized.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The
wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, further details
on wire harness routing and retention, as well as
pin-out and location views for the various wire har-
ness connectors, splices, and grounds.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - COMPRESSOR
CLUTCH RELAY
The compressor clutch relay (Fig. 18) is located in
the Intelligent Power Module (IPM), which is in the
engine compartment near the battery. See the fuse
and relay layout map molded into the inner surface
of the IPM cover for compressor clutch relay identifi-
cation and location. Remove the relay from the IPM
to perform the following tests:
(1) A relay in the de-energized position should
have continuity between terminals 87A and 30, and
no continuity between terminals 87 and 30. If OK, go
to Step 2. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(2) Resistance between terminals 85 and 86 (elec-
tromagnet) should be 7565 ohms. If OK, go to Step
3. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(3) Connect a battery to terminals 85 and 86.
There should now be continuity between terminals
30 and 87, and no continuity between terminals 87A
and 30. If OK, use a DRBIIItscan tool to perform
further diagnosis of the relay circuits. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information. If not OK,
replace the faulty relay.

EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE
SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The evaporator temperature sensor is a switch that
is installed on the top of the expansion valve in the
right rear corner of the engine compartment (Fig.
19). The sensor has a small probe that is inserted in
a small well in the body of the expansion valve that
is filled with a special silicone-based thermal grease.
A small molded plastic push-in retainer secures the
sensor to a threaded hole in the top surface of the
expansion valve. Two terminals within a molded
plastic connector receptacle on the sensor connect it
to the vehicle electrical system through a take out
and connector of the HVAC wire harness.
The evaporator temperature sensor cannot be
adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, it
must be replaced.
OPERATION
The evaporator temperature sensor monitors the
temperature of the evaporator through its connection
to the top of the expansion valve. The sensor will
change its internal resistance in response to the tem-

and is accessed for service by rolling down the glove
box from the instrument panel.
The power module heat sink will get hot when in
use. Do not touch the heat sink if the blower motor
has been running. The blower power module cannot
be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, it
must be replaced.
OPERATION
The blower power module is connected to the vehi-
cle electrical system through a dedicated take out
and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
A second connector receptacle receives the pigtail
wire connector from the blower motor. The blower
power module allows the microprocessor-based Auto-
matic Temperature Control (ATC) heater-A/C control
module to calculate and provide infinitely variable
blower motor speeds based upon either manual
blower switch input or the ATC programming using a
Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) circuit strategy. The
PWM voltage is applied to a comparator circuit
which compares the PWM signal voltage to the
blower motor feedback voltage. The resulting output
drives the power module circuitry, which adjusts the
voltage output received from the blower motor relay
to change or maintain the desired blower speed. The
blower power module is diagnosed using a DRBIIIt
scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic infor-
mation.

The blower motor relay (Fig. 5) is a International
Standards Organization (ISO) mini-relay. Relays con-
forming to the ISO specifications have common phys-ical dimensions, current capacities, terminal
patterns, and terminal functions. The ISO mini-relay
terminal functions are the same as a conventional
ISO relay. However, the ISO mini-relay terminal pat-
tern (or footprint) is different, the current capacity is
lower, and the physical dimensions are smaller than
those of the conventional ISO relay. The blower
motor relay is located in the Intelligent Power Mod-
ule (IPM), which is in the engine compartment near
the battery. See the fuse and relay layout map
molded into the inner surface of the IPM cover for
compressor clutch relay identification and location.
The black, molded plastic case is the most visible
component of the blower motor relay. Five male
spade-type terminals extend from the bottom of the
base to connect the relay to the vehicle electrical sys-
tem, and the ISO designation for each terminal is
molded into the base adjacent to each terminal. The
ISO terminal designations are as follows:
²30 (Common Feed)- This terminal is con-
nected to the movable contact point of the relay.
²85 (Coil Ground)- This terminal is connected
to the ground feed side of the relay control coil.
²86 (Coil Battery)- This terminal is connected
to the battery feed side of the relay control coil.
²87 (Normally Open)- This terminal is con-
nected to the normally open fixed contact point of the
relay.
²87A (Normally Closed)- This terminal is con-
nected to the normally closed fixed contact point of
the relay.
The factory-installed blower motor relay cannot be
adjusted or repaired. If the relay is damaged or
faulty, it must be replaced.
OPERATION
The blower motor relay is an electromechanical
switch that uses a low current input from the Front
Control Module (FCM) to control the high current
output to the blower motor resistor (manual heater-
A/C control) or blower power module (automatic heat-
er-A/C control). The movable common feed contact
point is held against the fixed normally closed con-
tact point by spring pressure. When the relay coil is
energized, an electromagnetic field is produced by the
coil windings. This electromagnetic field draws the
movable relay contact point away from the fixed nor-
mally closed contact point, and holds it against the
fixed normally open contact point. When the relay
coil is de-energized, spring pressure returns the mov-
able contact point back against the fixed normally
closed contact point. The resistor or diode is con-
nected in parallel with the relay coil in the relay, and
helps to dissipate voltage spikes and electromagnetic
interference that can be generated as the electromag-
netic field of the relay coil collapses.

trol circuit only when the FCM electronically pulls
the control circuit to ground.
²The coil battery terminal (86) receives a battery
current input from the battery through a B(+) circuit
at all times.
²The normally open terminal (87) provides a bat-
tery current output to the blower motor resistor
(manual heater-A/C control) or blower power module
(automatic heater-A/C control) through a fuse in the
IPM on the fused rear blower motor relay output cir-
cuit only when the blower motor relay coil is ener-
gized.
²The normally closed terminal (87A) is not con-
nected to any circuit in this application, but provides

OPERATION
The rear expansion valve solenoid is designed to
control the flow of refrigerant to the rear evaporator.
The solenoid receives fused battery current through
the rear blower motor relay on a fused rear blower
motor relay output circuit, and receives a ground
feed from the front ATC heater-A/C control module
on a TXV solenoid feed circuit. The front ATC heater-
A/C control module is programmed to control solenoid
operation. When the solenoid blocks refrigerant flow
to the rear evaporator, the resulting increase in the
refrigerant circulation rate between the condenser
and the front evaporator provides improved A/C cool-
ing performance for the front seat occupants. The
solenoid may be diagnosed using a DRBIIItscan
tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
INFRARED TEMPERATURE
SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The rear infrared temperature sensor consists of
an infrared transducer that is concealed behind the
lens of the rear heater-A/C control in the headliner.
This sensor is used only on models equipped with the
optional Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) heat-
ing and air conditioning system. The rear infrared
temperature sensor is integral to the rear heater-A/C
control. The infrared sensor cannot be adjusted orrepaired and, if faulty or damaged, the rear heater-
A/C control unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
The rear infrared temperature sensor provides an
independent measurement input to the Automatic
Temperature Control (ATC) heater-A/C control mod-
ule that indicates the surface temperature of the rear
seat occupants. By using a surface temperature mea-
surement, rather than an air temperature measure-
ment, the ATC system is able to adjust itself to the
comfort level as perceived by the occupant. This
allows the system to detect and compensate for other
ambient conditions affecting comfort levels, such as
solar heat gain or evaporative heat loss. The ATC
system logic responds to the infrared sensor input by
calculating and adjusting the air flow temperature
and air flow rate needed to properly obtain and
maintain the selected comfort level temperatures for
the rear seat occupants. The ATC heater-A/C control
module continually monitors the infrared sensor cir-
cuit, and will store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
for any problem it detects. This DTC information can
be retrieved and the infrared temperature sensor
diagnosed using a DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.
