The ATC computer utilizes integrated circuitry and
information carried on the Programmable Communi-
cations Interface (PCI) data bus network to monitor
many sensors and switch inputs throughout the vehi-
cle. In response to those inputs, the internal circuitry
and programming of the ATC computer allow it to
control electronic functions and features of the ATC
system. The inputs to the ATC computer are:
²Vehicle Speed/Engine RPM± The ATC com-
puter monitors engine RPM, vehicle speed and Man-
ifold Absolute Pressure information from the PCM.²Coolant Temperature± ATC computer moni-
tors Coolant temperature received from the PCM and
converts it to degrees Fahrenheit.
²Ambient Temperature± ATC computer moni-
tors Ambient temperature from the Compass Mini
Trip Computer (CMTC) and converts it to degrees
Fahrenheit.
²Engine Miscellaneous Sensor Status±ATC
computer monitors A/C disable information from the
PCM.
²Refrigerant Pressure± ATC computer moni-
tors Barometric Pressure, Intake Air Temperature,
High Side Pressure and Methanol Content as broad-
cast by the PCM.
²Door Ajar Status± The ATC computer moni-
tors Driver Front Door, Passenger Front Door, Left
Rear Door, Right Rear Door and Liftgate ajar infor-
mation, as identified by the Body Control Module
(BCM), to determine if all in-car temperatures should
be maintained.
²Dimming± The ATC computer monitors dim-
ming status from the BCM to determine the required
level of brightness and will dim accordingly.
²Vehicle Odometer± The ATC computer moni-
tors the vehicle odometer information from the BCM
to prevent flashing the VF tube icons if the manual
motor calibration or manual cool down tests have
failed. Flashing of the display icons will cease when
the vehicle odometer is greater than 3 miles.
²English Metric± The ATC computer monitors
the English/Metric information broadcast by the
CMTC. The set temp displays for both the front and
rear control heads will be set accordingly.
²Vehicle Identification Number± The ATC
computer monitors the last eight characters of the
VIN broadcast by the PCM and compares it to the
information stored in EEPROM. If it is different, the
new number will be stored over the old one and a
motor calibration shall be initiated.
²A/C System Information± The ATC computer
will send a message for Evaporator Temperature too
Low, Fan Blower Relay status, Evaporator Sensor
Failure, Rear Window Defogger Relay and A/C Select.

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. 9). 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
in the heater/AC housing, directly behind the glove
box opening of the instrument panel. The resistor
consists of a molded plastic mounting plate with two
integral connector receptacles. Concealed behind the
mounting plate within the heater/AC housing are
four coiled resistor wires contained within a protec-
tive stamped steel cage. The resistor mounting plate
is secured with two screws to the heater/AC housing
and is accessed for service by rolling down the glove
box from the instrument panel.
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 instrument panel wire harness.
A second connector receptacle receives the pigtail
wire connector from the blower motor. The blower
motor resistor has multiple resistor wires, each ofwhich 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 all of the 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 high-
est 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.

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. 22). 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 evaporator housing, directly behind the
glove box opening of the instrument panel. The mod-
ule consists 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 evaporator housingand 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.

RECIRCULATION DOOR
ACTUATOR
DESCRIPTION
The recirculation door actuator is a reversible,
12-volt Direct Current (DC), servo motor (Fig. 23).
The single recirculation door actuator is located on
the passenger side end of the heater-A/C housing
unit, on the bottom of the lower intake air housing.
The recirculation door actuator is mechanically con-
nected to the recirculation air door. The recirculationdoor actuator is interchangeable with the actuators
for the blend air door(s) and the mode door. Each
actuator is contained within an identical black
molded plastic housing with an integral wire connec-
tor receptacle. Two integral mounting tabs allow the
actuator to be secured with two screws to the lower
intake air housing. Each actuator also has an identi-
cal output shaft with splines that connects it to the
linkage that drives the recirculation air door. The
recirculation door actuator does not require mechan-
ical indexing to the recirculation air door, as it is
electronically calibrated by the heater-A/C control
module. The recirculation door actuator cannot be
adjusted or repaired and, if damaged or faulty, it
must be replaced.
OPERATION
The recirculation door actuator is connected to the
heater-A/C control module through the vehicle elec-
trical system by a dedicated two-wire take out and
connector of the HVAC wire harness. The recircula-
tion door actuator can move the recirculation door in
two directions. When the heater-A/C control module
pulls the voltage on one side of the motor connection
high and the other connection low, the recirculation
air door will move in one direction. When the module
reverses the polarity of the voltage to the motor, the
recirculation air door moves in the opposite direction.
When the module makes the voltage to both connec-
tions high or both connections low, the recirculation
air door stops and will not move. These same motor
connections also provide a feedback signal to the
heater-A/C control module. This feedback signal

AIR FILTER
DESCRIPTION
A dust and odor air filter is standard equipment on
models equipped with the dual zone or three zone
temperature control systems (Fig. 1). The filter ele-
ment is the same size as the front air conditioner
evaporator to ensure ample filtering capacity. A
removable door on the bottom of the front heater-A/C
unit housing below the glove box provides easy access
to the filter element for replacement. Filter replace-
ment is recommended at 24,000 kilometer (15,000
mile) intervals.
REMOVAL
(1) Locate the air filter door on the bottom of the
lower evaporator housing just outboard of the pas-
senger side of the instrument panel center stack (Fig.
2).
(2) Slide the air filter door latch toward the rear of
the vehicle until it engages the opened stop on the
door.
(3) Pull the air filter door straight downward to
disengage it from the air filter opening of the lower
evaporator housing.
(4) Use your fingers to reach through the air filter
opening of the lower evaporator housing far enough
to grasp the air filter.
(5) Pull the air filter straight down and out of the
evaporator housing (Fig. 2).
INSTALLATION
(1) Note the ªAirflowº directional arrow imprinted
on the foam seal around the frame of the air filter.
This arrow should always be oriented towards the
center of the vehicle.
(2) With the air filter ªAirflowº arrow properly ori-
ented, carefully slide the filter fully upward into the
evaporator housing through the air filter opening.
(3) With the latch still positioned against its
opened stop, reinstall the air filter door onto the
lower evaporator housing air filter opening.
(4) Slide the air filter door latch toward the front
of the vehicle until it hits the closed stop on the door.
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
