(2) Resistance between terminals 85 and 86 (elec-
tromagnet) should be 67.5 to 82.5 ohms. If OK, go to
Step 3. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(3) Connect a battery to terminals 85 and 86.
There should now be continuity between terminals
30 and 87, and no continuity between terminals 87A
and 30. If OK, see Relay Circuit Test. If not OK,
replace the faulty relay.
RELAY CIRCUIT TEST
For circuit descriptions and diagrams, (Refer to
Appropriate Wiring Information).
(1) The relay common feed terminal cavity (30) is
connected to fused battery feed. There should be bat-
tery voltage at the cavity for relay terminal 30 at all
times. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, repair the open
circuit to the fuse in the PDC as required.
(2) The relay normally closed terminal (87A) is not
used in this application. Go to Step 3.
(3) The relay normally open terminal cavity (87) is
connected to the compressor clutch coil. There should
be continuity between this cavity and the A/C com-
pressor clutch relay output circuit cavity of the com-
pressor clutch coil wire harness connector. If OK, go
to Step 4. If not OK, repair the open circuit as
required.
(4) The relay coil battery terminal (86) is con-
nected to the fused ignition switch output (run/start)circuit. There should be battery voltage at the cavity
for relay terminal 86 with the ignition switch in the
On position. If OK, go to Step 5. If not OK, repair the
open circuit to the fuse in the junction block as
required.
(5) The coil ground terminal cavity (85) is switched
to ground through the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). There should be continuity between this cav-
ity and the A/C compressor clutch relay control cir-
cuit cavity of the PCM wire harness connector C
(gray) at all times. If not OK, repair the open circuit
as required.

(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the cover from the Power Distribution
Center (PDC).
(3) Refer to the label on the PDC for compressor
clutch relay identification and location.
(4) Unplug the compressor clutch relay from the
PDC.

(4) Test the relay operation.
A/C HEATER CONTROL
DESCRIPTION
Both the heater-only and A/C heater systems use a
combination of mechanical, electrical, and vacuum
controls. These controls provide the vehicle operator
with a number of setting options to help control the
climate and comfort within the vehicle. Refer to the
owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for more
information on the features, use, and suggested oper-
ation of these controls.
The heater-only or A/C heater control panel is
located to the right of the instrument cluster on the
instrument panel. The control panel contains a rota-
ry-type temperature control knob, a rotary-type mode
control switch knob, and a rotary-type blower motor
speed switch knob. The control also has a push but-
ton to activate the rear window defogger.
The heater-only or A/C heater control panel cannot
be repaired. If faulty or damaged, the entire unit
must be replaced. The illumination lamps are avail-
able for service replacement.

BLOWER MOTOR RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The blower motor relay is a International Stan-
dards Organization (ISO)-type relay. The relay is a
electromechanical device that switches battery cur-
rent from a fuse in the Power Distribution Center
(PDC) directly to the blower motor. The relay is ener-
gized when the relay coil is provided a voltage signal
by the ignition switch. (Refer to 24 - HEATING &
AIR CONDITIONING/CONTROLS/BLOWER
MOTOR RELAY - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING)
OPERATION
The blower motor relay is installed in a wire har-
ness connector that is secured to the passenger side
outboard end of the HVAC housing in the passenger
compartment, next to the HVAC wire harness con-
nector.
The blower motor relay cannot be repaired and, if
faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.

RELAY TEST
The blower motor relay (Fig. 15) is located in the
PDC which is located under the hood.. Remove the
relay from the PDC to perform the following tests:
(1) A relay in the de-energized position should
have continuity between terminals 87A and 30, and
no continuity between terminals 87 and 30. If OK, go
to Step 2. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(2) Resistance between terminals 85 and 86 (elec-
tromagnet) should be 60.7 to 80.3 ohms. If OK, go to
Step 3. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(3) Connect a battery to terminals 85 and 86.
There should now be continuity between terminals
30 and 87, and no continuity between terminals 87A
and 30. If OK, see the Relay Circuit Test. If not OK,
replace the faulty relay.
RELAY CIRCUIT TEST
For circuit descriptions and diagrams, (Refer to
Appropriate Wiring Information).
(1) The relay common feed terminal cavity (30) is
connected to fused battery feed directly from a fuse
in the Power Distribution Center (PDC), and should
be hot at all times. Check for battery voltage at the
connector cavity for relay terminal 30. If OK, go to
Step 2. If not OK, repair the open circuit to the PDC
fuse as required.
(2) The relay normally closed terminal cavity (87A)
is not used for this application. Go to Step 3.
(3) The relay normally open terminal cavity (87) is
connected to the blower motor. When the relay is
energized, terminal 87 is connected to terminal 30
and provides full battery current to the blower motor
feed circuit. There should be continuity between the
connector cavity for terminal 87 and the blower
motor at all times. If OK, go to Step 4. If not OK,
repair the open circuit to the blower motor as
required.
(4) The coil battery terminal cavity (86) is con-
nected to the ignition switch. When the ignition
switch is placed in the On position, fused ignition
switch output is directed from a fuse in the junction
block to the relay electromagnetic coil to energize the
relay. There should be battery voltage at the connec-
tor cavity for relay terminal 86 with the ignition
switch in the On position. If OK, go to Step 5. If not
OK, repair the open circuit to the junction block fuse
as required.
(5) The coil ground terminal cavity (85) is con-
nected to ground. This terminal supplies the ground
for the relay electromagnet coil. There should be con-
tinuity between the connector cavity for relay termi-
nal 85 and a good ground at all times. If not OK,
repair the open circuit as required.

BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR
DESCRIPTION
The blower motor resistor is mounted to the rear
side of the HVAC housing on the passenger side of
the vehicle.
OPERATION
The resistor is a credit card resistor that utilizes
resistor circuit tracers to reduce current flow to the
blower. The blower motor switch directs the ground
path through the correct resistor circuit to obtain the
selected speed.
The blower motor resistor cannot be repaired and,
if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.

BLOWER MOTOR SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The heater-only or A/C Heater blower motor is con-
trolled by a four position rotary-type blower motor
switch, mounted in the A/C Heater control panel. The
switch allows the selection of one of four blower
motor speeds, but can only be turned off by selecting
the Off position with the heater-only or A/C Heater
mode control switch knob.
OPERATION
The blower motor switch directs the blower motor
ground path through the mode control switch to the
blower motor resistor, or directly to ground, as
required to achieve the selected blower motor speed.
The blower motor switch cannot be repaired and, if
faulty or damaged, the entire heater-only or A/C
Heater control unit must be replaced.

(3) With the A/C Heater control wire harness con-
nector unplugged, place the A/C Heater mode control
switch knob in any position except the Off position.
Check for continuity between the ground circuit ter-minal and each of the blower motor driver circuit ter-
minals of the A/C Heater control as you move the
blower motor switch knob to each of the four speed
positions. There should be continuity at each driver
circuit terminal in only one blower motor switch
