BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR
DESCRIPTION
A blower motor resistor is used on this model when
it is equipped with the manual heater-A/C control
(Fig. 7). Models equipped with the optional Auto-
matic Temperature Control (ATC) use a blower power
module, instead of the blower motor resistor. The
blower motor resistor is installed in a mounting hole
on the back of the rear heater-A/C unit housing,
directly above the expansion valve. The resistor con-
sists of a molded plastic mounting plate with an inte-
gral connector receptacle. Concealed behind the
mounting plate within the rear heater-A/C unit hous-
ing are two coiled resistor wires contained within a
protective stamped steel cage. The resistor mounting
plate is secured with two screws to the rear heater-
A/C unit housing and is accessed for service by
removing the right quarter and D-pillar trim panels.The blower motor resistor wires will get hot when
in use. Do not touch the resistor wires or the protec-
tive cage if the blower motor has been running. The
blower motor resistor cannot be adjusted or repaired
and, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
OPERATION
The blower motor resistor is connected to the vehi-
cle electrical system through a dedicated take out
and connector of the rear HVAC wire harness. The
blower motor resistor has two resistor wires, each of
which will reduce the current flow through the
blower motor to change the blower motor speed. The
blower motor switch in the manual heater-A/C con-
trol directs the ground path for the blower motor
through the correct resistor wire to obtain the
selected speed. With the blower motor switch in the
lowest speed position, the ground path for the motor
is applied through both resistor wires. Each higher
speed selected with the blower motor switch applies
the blower motor ground path through fewer of the
resistor wires, increasing the blower motor speed.
When the blower motor switch is in the highest
speed position, the blower motor resistor wires are
bypassed and the blower motor receives a direct path
to ground through the blower motor switch. The
blower motor resistor may be diagnosed using con-
ventional diagnostic tools and methods.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BLOWER MOTOR
RESISTOR
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The
wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire
harness routing and retention, connector pin-out
information and location views for the various wire
harness connectors, splices and grounds.
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Disconnect the rear HVAC wire harness con-
nector for the blower motor resistor from the resistor
connector receptacle.
(3) Check for continuity between each of the
blower motor switch input terminals of the blower
motor resistor and the resistor output terminal. In
each case there should be continuity. If OK, repair
the wire harness circuits between the blower motor
switch and the blower motor resistor or the blower
motor pigtail wires as required. If not OK, replace
the faulty blower motor resistor.Fig. 7 Blower Motor Resistor

POWER MODULE
DESCRIPTION
A blower power module is used on this model when
it is equipped with the optional Automatic Tempera-
ture Control (ATC) (Fig. 12). Models equipped with
the standard manual heater-A/C control use a blower
motor resistor, instead of the blower power module.
The blower power module is installed in a mounting
hole in the back of the rear heater-A/C unit housing,
directly above the expansion valve. The module con-
sists of a molded plastic mounting plate with two
integral connector receptacles. Concealed behind the
mounting plate within the evaporator housing is the
power module electronic circuitry and a large finned,
heat sink. The module mounting plate is secured
with two screws to the rear heater-A/C unit housing
and is accessed for service by removing the right
quarter and D-pillar trim panels.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 rear HVAC wire harness. A sec-
ond connector receptacle receives the pigtail wire
connector from the blower motor. The blower power
module allows the microprocessor-based Automatic
Temperature Control (ATC) heater-A/C control mod-
ule 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

AIR OUTLETS
DESCRIPTION
Based upon the system mode selected, conditioned
air can exit the front heater-A/C unit housing
through one or a combination of the four main hous-
ing outlets: defrost, demist, panel, or floor. Once the
conditioned air exits the unit housing, it is directed
through molded plastic ducts to the various outlets in
the vehicle interior. These outlets and their locations
are as follows:
²Defroster Outlet- A single, centrally mounted
outlet delivers air for defrosting the large windshield.
Because outlet vanes are not needed to direct flow, a
simple, integral grid is molded into the center of the
instrument panel top cover to prevent objects from
falling into the duct. If the defroster outlet is faulty
or damaged, the instrument panel top cover must be
replaced.
²Demister Outlets- There are two side window
demisters that aid in defogging and defrosting the
front door windows. One demister outlet is located at
each outboard end of the instrument panel top pad,
near the belt line at the A-pillars. The demister out-
lets can be removed from the top pad individually for
service replacement.²Instrument Panel Outlets- There are five
panel outlets in the instrument panel, one located
near each outboard end of the instrument panel fac-
ing the rear of the vehicle, and three located near the
top of the instrument panel center bezel. On models
with manual temperature control, all five of these
outlets are fully adjustable. On models with Auto-
matic Temperature Control (ATC), the center outlet
in the center bezel has fixed vanes because it also
houses the remote infrared temperature sensors for
the front seat positions. The outboard outlets can be
removed individually for service replacement. The
center bezel outlets are serviced as a gang of three
outlets and, on models with ATC, also includes the
infrared sensors.
²Front Door Rear Outlets- A fully adjustable
outlet located at the rear of each front door trim
panel supplies only cooled air to the intermediate
seat passengers. Air is supplied to these outlets from
the instrument panel through ducts in the doors that
use molded seals at the instrument panel to prevent
air leakage. The door ducts are integral to the front
door trim panels. These outlets also incorporate a red
reflector to improve the safety and visibility of an
opened front door to traffic approaching the vehicle
from the rear at night. These outlets can be removed
from the door trim panels for service replacement.
²Front Floor Outlets- There are two front floor
outlets, one located above each side of the floor panel
center tunnel below the instrument panel. These out-
lets are integral to the front heater-A/C unit distri-
bution housing.
²Rear Floor Outlets- Wide rear floor outlets
located under each front seat have integral, fixed
directional dividers to distribute heated air across
the floor for intermediate seat passengers. These out-
lets are integral to the floor distribution ducts routed
under the front floor carpet from an outlet nozzle on
the bottom of the front heater-A/C unit distribution
housing.
REMOVAL - CENTER BEZEL OUTLETS
The three outlets located near the top of the
instrument panel center bezel are serviced only as a
gang of all three outlets. If the vehicle is equipped
with the optional Automatic Temperature Control
(ATC) system, the center outlet of the three has fixed
vanes and also houses the remote front infrared tem-
perature sensors.

BLOWER MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
The blower motor is a 12-volt, Direct Current (DC)
motor with a squirrel cage-type blower wheel that is
secured to the blower motor shaft (Fig. 7). The
blower motor and wheel are located near the passen-
ger side end of the heater-A/C unit within the two
halves of the intake air housing in the passenger
compartment below the instrument panel. The
instrument panel must be rolled rearward to access
the blower motor and blower wheel for service. The
blower motor and blower motor wheel are a factory
balanced unit and cannot be adjusted or repaired. If
faulty or damaged, the blower motor and blower
wheel must be replaced as a unit.
OPERATION
The blower motor will operate whenever the igni-
tion switch is in the On position and the heater-A/C
control power is turned on. The blower motor can
only be turned off by turning off the power at the
heater-A/C control. The blower motor receives battery
current whenever the front blower motor relay is
energized. The front blower motor relay output cir-
cuit is protected by a fuse in the Intelligent Power
Module (IPM) located in the engine compartment
near the battery. In the Manual system, the blower
motor speed is controlled by regulating the path to
ground through the blower control switch and the
blower motor resistor. In the ATC system, the blower
motor speed is controlled by an electronic blower
power module, which uses a pulse width modulated
input from the ATC module and feedback from the
blower motor to regulate the blower motor ground
path it provides. The blower motor and wheel are
used to control the velocity of air moving through the
heater-A/C unit housing. The blower motor controls
the velocity of the air flowing through the heater-A/C
housing by spinning the blower wheel within the
housing at the selected speed or, in the ATC system,
at the selected or programmed speed.
