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 or
repaired 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.

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. 11). 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 twointegral 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

voltage is applied to a comparator circuit which com-
pares 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.

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.

system, the center outlet of the three has fixed vanes
and also houses the remote front infrared tempera-
ture 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
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.
