REMOVAL - INSTRUMENT PANEL OUTLET
(1) Using a trim stick or another suitable wide
flat-bladed tool, gently pry the outer perimeter of the
instrument panel outlet away from the instrument
panel top pad until the snap features on the outlet
are released (Fig. 6).
(2) Remove the instrument panel outlet from the
panel duct opening in the instrument panel top pad.
INSTALLATION - CENTER BEZEL OUTLETS
(1) Position the center bezel outlets and housing
onto the center bezel as a unit (Fig. 3).
(2) Engage the retainer features on the top of the
outlet housing with their receptacles at the top of the
center bezel, then roll the bottom of the outlet hous-
ing downwards towards the center bezel.
(3) Install and tighten the three screws that secure
the bottom of the outlet housing to the center bezel.
Tighten the screws to 2 N´m (17 in. lbs.).
(4) If the vehicle is equipped with the optional
ATC system, reconnect the ATC remote infrared tem-
perature sensor jumper harness to the sensor connec-
tor receptacle located on the bottom of the center
outlet housing.
(5) Reinstall the center bezel onto the instrument
panel. (Refer to 23 - BODY/INSTRUMENT PANEL/
INSTRUMENT PANEL CENTER BEZEL - INSTAL-
LATION).
(6) Reconnect the battery negative cable.
INSTALLATION - DEMISTER OUTLET
(1) Position the demister outlet over the demister
duct opening in the instrument panel top pad (Fig.
4).
(2) Using hand pressure, press the demister outlet
firmly and evenly into the instrument panel top pad
opening until the snap features on the outlet are
fully engaged.
INSTALLATION - FRONT DOOR REAR OUTLET
(1) Position the front door rear outlet through the
outside of the front door trim panel outlet opening.
(2) While keeping the outlet aligned with the door
duct opening behind the trim panel, use hand pres-
sure to press the outlet firmly and evenly through
the outside of the front door trim panel outlet open-
ing until the four latch features (two top and two bot-
tom) that secure the outlet to the inside of the
opening are fully engaged (Fig. 5).
(3) Reinstall the trim panel onto the front door
inner panel. (Refer to 23 - BODY/DOOR - FRONT/
TRIM PANEL - INSTALLATION).
(4) Reconnect the battery negative cable.
INSTALLATION - INSTRUMENT PANEL OUTLET
(1) Position the instrument panel outlet into the
panel duct opening in the instrument panel top pad
(Fig. 6).
(2) Using hand pressure, press the instrument
panel outlet firmly and evenly into the instrument
panel top pad opening until the snap features on the
outlet are fully engaged.

(1) Check the fuse (Fuse 10 - 40 ampere) in the
Intelligent Power Module (IPM). If OK, go to Step 2.
If not OK, repair the shorted circuit or component as
required and replace the faulty fuse.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the On position. Be
certain that the heater-A/C control power is turned
on. Check for battery voltage at the fuse (Fuse 10 -
40 ampere) in the IPM. If OK, go to Step 3. If not
OK, proceed to diagnosis of the front blower motor
relay. (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITION-
ING/CONTROLS - FRONT/BLOWER MOTOR
RELAY - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Disconnect the front HVAC wire harness connector
for the front blower motor resistor (Manual Temper-
ature Control) or the front blower power module
(Automatic Temperature Control) from the resistor or
module connector receptacle. Reconnect the battery
negative cable. Turn the ignition switch to the On
position. Be certain that the heater-A/C control
power is turned on. Check for battery voltage at the
fused front blower motor relay output circuit cavity
of the front HVAC wire harness connector for thefront blower motor resistor (MTC) or the front blower
power module (ATC). If OK, go to Step 4. If not OK,
repair the open fused front blower motor relay output
circuit to the IPM as required.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Disconnect the front blower motor pigtail wire con-
nector from the connector receptacle of the front
blower motor resistor (MTC) or the front blower
power module (ATC). Use jumper wires to connect a
battery and ground feeds to the blower motor pigtail
wire connector. The blower motor should operate. If
OK with MTC, proceed to diagnosis of the front
blower motor resistor. (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR
CONDITIONING/CONTROLS - FRONT/BLOWER
MOTOR RESISTOR - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
If OK with ATC, use a DRBIII scan tool to diagnose
the front blower power module. Refer to the appropri-
ate diagnostic information. If not OK with MTC or
ATC, replace the faulty front blower motor.

system control switch on the front heater-A/C control
is not in the Off position. The blower motor can only
be turned off by turning off the rear system at the
front heater-A/C control. The blower motor receives
battery current whenever the rear blower motor
relay is energized. The rear blower motor relay out-
put circuit is protected by a fuse in the Intelligent
Power Module (IPM) located in the engine compart-
ment near the battery. In the MTC 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 mod-
ulated 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 rear heater-A/C unit housing. The blower motor
controls the velocity of the air flowing through the
rear 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.

(1) Check the fuse (Fuse 12 - 25 ampere) in the
Intelligent Power Module (IPM). If OK, go to Step 2.
If not OK, repair the shorted circuit or component as
required and replace the faulty fuse.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the On position. Be
certain that the rear heater-A/C control power is
turned on. Check for battery voltage at the fuse
(Fuse 12 - 25 ampere) in the IPM. If OK, go to Step
3. If not OK, proceed to diagnosis of the rear blower
motor relay. (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDI-TIONING/CONTROLS - REAR/BLOWER MOTOR
RELAY - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Disconnect the rear HVAC wire harness connector for
the rear blower motor resistor (Manual Temperature
Control) or the rear blower power module (Automatic
Temperature Control) from the resistor or module
connector receptacle. Reconnect the battery negative
cable. Turn the ignition switch to the On position. Be
certain that the rear heater-A/C control power is
turned on. Check for battery voltage at the fused
rear blower motor relay output circuit cavity of the
rear HVAC wire harness connector for the rear
blower motor resistor (MTC) or the rear blower
power module (ATC). If OK, go to Step 4. If not OK,
repair the open fused front blower motor relay output
circuit to the IPM as required.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Disconnect the rear blower motor pigtail wire connec-
tor from the take out and connector of the rear
HVAC wire harness (MTC) or the connector recepta-
cle of the rear blower power module (ATC). Use
jumper wires to connect a battery and ground feeds
to the blower motor pigtail wire connector. The
blower motor should operate. If OK with MTC, pro-
ceed to diagnosis of the rear blower motor resistor.
(Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/
CONTROLS - REAR/BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). If OK with ATC, use a
DRBIII scan tool to diagnose the rear blower power
module. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic informa-
tion. If not OK with MTC or ATC, replace the faulty
rear blower motor.
