3.9 HEATING & A/C
3.9.1 AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE
CONTROL (ATC)
3.9.1.1 CABIN HEATER
For vehicles equipped with a diesel engine, a
Cabin Heater is used in conjunction with the HVAC
system. The Cabin Heater is designed to supply the
vehicle's occupants with heat prior to the engine
reaching operating temperature. For additional in-
formation on this system, refer to Cabin Heater
under General Information and Diagnostic Proce-
dures in this manual.
3.9.1.2 SYSTEM OPERATION
The Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) sys-
tem provides fully adjustable three zone climate
control; Driver front zone, Passenger Front zone
and Rear zone. The following is a list of ATC
controls and features:
± a POWER button which allows the operator to
turn the system completely off.
± AUTO HIGH/LOW switch allows the operator
to select what rate (fan speed) the system will
provide the selected comfort level.
± DRIVER, REAR and PASSENGER rocker
switches to select desired temperature for each
zone.
± Recirculation button allows cooling air to be
recirculated which maximizes cooling ability.
± A/C select button allows the operator to turn
the A/C compressor off.
± Defroster button allows the operator to turn on
the defroster independently during automatic
control.
± Fan control rotary switch for selecting fan
speed.
± Mode rotary switch for selecting heating/
cooling direction.
± REAR SYSTEM rotary switch for activating
the Rear ATC Switch allowing intermediate
passenger control over rear climate control.
3.9.1.3 BLOWER MOTOR OPERATION
The Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) front
and rear blower control provides continuously vari-
able control of air flow rate to meet occupant
comfort requirements. Pulse width modulation of
the blower motor power allows the front and rear
blower to operate at any speed from off to full speed.
When front or rear blower operation is required, the
ATC sends a PCI Bus message to the Front Control
Module (FCM) requesting blower relay ON. The
FCM provides a ground for the front and rear
blower motor relay coils, activating both relays. The
front and rear blower relays provide 12 volts to
their respective blower motor power modules. Each
module provides a 12 volt blower motor control
signal to the ATC. The ATC provides a pulse width
modulated (duty-cycle) ground signal to this circuit
based on climate requirements. The higher voltage
on the signal circuit (less duty-cycle ground) the
lower the blower speed request. The lower voltage
on the signal circuit (more duty-cycle ground) the
higher the blower speed request.
3.9.1.4 INFRARED SENSORS
The ATC system uses infrared (I/R) sensors to
monitor and control oocupant comfort levels. This
sensing system replaces interior air temperature
and solar sensors which required complex control
programs to maintain occupant comfort levels. The
front I/R sensor is located in the instrument panel
center bezel outlet. The rear I/R sensor is located in
the rear overhead mounted ATC switch.
3.9.1.5 REAR ATC SWITCH
The rear ATC switch is mounted in the headliner.
The switch contains a rotary adjustment for fan
speed, a rotary adjustment for mode selection, a
push button switch for temperature selection and a
digital display of the selected temperature.
3.9.1.6 COOLDOWN TESTING
The ATC provides a feature referred to as a
Cooldown Test. This test is initiated using the
DRBIIItand is designed to check the performance
of the air conditioning system. The ATC will not
perform this test if the ambient air temperature is
below 12ÉC (53ÉF). During the test, the ATC com-
pares the ambient air temperature to the evapora-
tor temperature sensor. To pass the cooldown test,
the evap temperature sensor must drop -6ÉC (20ÉF)
below ambient temperature within 2 minutes of
start of test. At the completion of the cooldown test
the DRBIIItwill display one of the following mes-
sages indicating test outcome:
± Cooldown Test Passed
± Cooldown Test Failed
16
GENERAL INFORMATION
± Evap Temp Sensor Shorted
± Evap Temp Sensor Open
± A/C Pressure Too Low
± A/C Pressure Too High
± Invalid Conditions for Cooldown Test, Evap
Temperature Too Low
If a message other than Cooldown Test Passed
occurs, refer to the appropriate symptom for diag-
nosis.
3.9.1.7 ACTIVE AND STORED TROUBLE
CODES
The Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) is
capable of storing Active and Stored trouble codes.
Active codes indicate a current fault in the system.
Stored codes indicate that a problem has occurred
in the system, however is not currently present.
Active codes cannot be erased until the problem
causing the code has been repaired. At this time the
Active code is converted to a Stored code, which can
be erased using the DRBIIIt.
3.9.2 MANUAL TEMPERATURE CONTROL
3.9.2.1 SYSTEM AVAILABILITY
Depending on the model, either a Single-Zone Air
Conditioning System or a Dual-Zone Air Condition-
ing System is currently available in these vehicles.
3.9.2.2 CABIN HEATER
For Vehicles equipped with a diesel engine, a
Cabin Heater is used in conjunction with the HVAC
system. The Cabin Heater is designed to supply the
vehicle's occupants with heat prior to the engine
reaching operating temperature. For additional in-
formation on this system, refer to Cabin Heater
under General Information and Diagnostic Proce-
dures in this manual.
3.9.2.3 ZONE CONTROL ± SINGLE-ZONE
The Single-Zone Air Conditioning System main-
tains incoming air temperature, airflow, fan speed,
and fresh air intake for the entire vehicle from the
instrument panel mounted A/C ± Heater Control
Module. The full range of temperature that the
system can produce in any mode for the entire
vehicle is available by positioning the blend control
to the desired range.
3.9.2.4 ZONE CONTROL ± DUAL-ZONE
The Dual-Zone Air Conditioning System main-
tains incoming air temperature, airflow, fan speed,
and fresh air intake for the entire vehicle from the
instrument panel mounted A/C ± Heater ControlModule. In addition, this system provides com-
pletely independent side-to-side control of incoming
air temperature. The full range of temperature that
the system can produce in any mode is available on
either side of the vehicle by positioning the inde-
pendent driver and passenger blend controls to the
desired range.
3.9.2.5 AIR DISTRIBUTION
The HVAC unit has five fully adjustable instru-
ment panel outlets. Side-window demister outlets
in the instrument panel eliminate door ducts and
door-to-instrument panel seals. A single, central
mounted outlet delivers air for defrosting the wind-
shield. Air exhausters allow air entering at the
front of the vehicle to flow out the back to the rear
occupants. Mid-cabin comfort control directs only
cooling air flow to the intermediate seat occupants
through outlets at the rear of each front door trim
panel. 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. Wide outlets under the front seats with
directional dividers distribute heated air across the
floor to the intermediate seat occupants. Ducts in
the center of the vehicle under the carpet deliver air
from the HVAC unit to these outlets. Models
equipped with Dual-Zone A/C systems also include
a dust and odor air filter installed in the HAVC
housing.
3.9.2.6 DOOR ACTUATORS
The electric door actuators are a two-wire design.
Each door actuator uses a similar connector wired
directly to the A/C ± Heater Control Module. Single-
Zone systems have one blend door actuator, one
mode door actuator, and one recirculation door
actuator. Dual-Zone systems have two blend door
actuators, one mode door actuator, and one recircu-
lation door actuator. All of the door actuators are
accessible from the vehicle's interior.
3.9.2.7 DOOR ACTUATOR CONTROL
The A/C ± Heater Control Module knows the
number of operating actuator revolutions required
for full door travel as well as the number of actuator
commutator pulses per revolution. Using these pa-
rameters, the A/C ± Heater Control Module runs
the actuator for the number of commutator pulses
that correspond to the desired door position. To
maintain accuracy, the system recalibrates itself
periodically at known zero and full travel condi-
tions.

DESCRIPTION - ENGINE COOLANT
WARNING: ANTIFREEZE IS AN ETHYLENE GLYCOL
BASE COOLANT AND IS HARMFUL IF SWAL-
LOWED OR INHALED. IF SWALLOWED, DRINK
TWO GLASSES OF WATER AND INDUCE VOMIT-
ING. IF INHALED, MOVE TO FRESH AIR AREA.
SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT
STORE IN OPEN OR UNMARKED CONTAINERS.
WASH SKIN AND CLOTHING THOROUGHLY AFTER
COMING IN CONTACT WITH ETHYLENE GLYCOL.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. DISPOSE OF
GLYCOL BASE COOLANT PROPERLY, CONTACT
YOUR DEALER OR GOVERNMENT AGENCY FOR
LOCATION OF COLLECTION CENTER IN YOUR
AREA. DO NOT OPEN A COOLING SYSTEM WHEN
THE ENGINE IS AT OPERATING TEMPERATURE OR
HOT UNDER PRESSURE, PERSONAL INJURY CAN
RESULT. AVOID RADIATOR COOLING FAN WHEN
ENGINE COMPARTMENT RELATED SERVICE IS
PERFORMED, PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
CAUTION: Use of Propylene Glycol based coolants
is not recommended, as they provide less freeze
protection and less corrosion protection.
The cooling system is designed around the coolant.
The coolant must accept heat from engine metal, in
the cylinder head area near the exhaust valves and
engine block. Then coolant carries the heat to the
radiator where the tube/fin radiator can transfer the
heat to the air.
The use of aluminum cylinder blocks, cylinder
heads, and water pumps requires special corrosion
protection. MopartAntifreeze/Coolant, 5 Year/
100,000 Mile Formula (MS-9769), or the equivalent
ethylene glycol base coolant with organic corrosion
inhibitors (called HOAT, for Hybrid Organic Additive
Technology) is recommended. This coolant offers the
best engine cooling without corrosion when mixed
with 50% Ethylene Glycol and 50% distilled water to
obtain a freeze point of -37ÉC (-35ÉF). If it loses color
or becomes contaminated, drain, flush, and replace
with fresh properly mixed coolant solution.CAUTION: MoparTAntifreeze/Coolant, 5 Year/
100,000 Mile Formula (MS-9769) may not be mixed
with any other type of antifreeze. Doing so will
reduce the corrosion protection and may result in
premature water pump seal failure. If non-HOAT
coolant is introduced into the cooling system in an
emergency, it should be replaced with the specified
coolant as soon as possible.
