normally open contact point. When the relay coil is
de-energized, spring pressure returns the movable
contact point back against the fixed normally closed
contact point. The resistor or diode is connected in
parallel with the relay coil in the relay, and helps to
dissipate voltage spikes and electromagnetic interfer-
ence that can be generated as the electromagnetic
field of the relay coil collapses.
The blower motor relay terminals are connected to
the vehicle electrical system through a receptacle in
the Integrated Power Module (IPM). The inputs and
outputs of the blower motor relay include:
²The common feed terminal (30) receives a bat-
tery current input from the battery through a B(+)
circuit at all times.
²The coil ground terminal (85) receives a ground
input through the front/rear blower motor relay con-
trol circuit only when the FCM electronically pulls
the control circuit to ground.
²The coil battery terminal (86) receives a battery
current input from the battery through a B(+) circuit
at all times.
²The normally open terminal (87) provides a bat-
tery current output to the blower motor resistor
(manual heater-A/C control) or blower power module
(automatic heater-A/C control) through a fuse in the
IPM on the fused front blower motor relay output cir-
cuit only when the blower motor relay coil is ener-
gized.
²The normally closed terminal (87A) is not con-
nected to any circuit in this application, but provides
a battery current output only when the blower motor
relay coil is de-energized.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information for
diagnosis and testing of the micro-relay and for com-
plete HVAC wiring diagrams.

inserted in a small well in the body of the expansion
valve that is filled with a special silicone-based ther-
mal grease. A small molded plastic push-in retainer
secures the sensor to a threaded hole in the top sur-
face of the expansion valve. Two terminals within a
molded plastic connector receptacle on the sensor
connect it to the vehicle electrical system through a
take out and connector of the HVAC wire harness.
The evaporator temperature sensor cannot be
adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, it
must be replaced.
OPERATION
The evaporator temperature sensor monitors the
temperature of the A/C evaporator. The sensor will
change its internal resistance in response to the tem-
peratures it monitors. The A/C-heater control is con-
nected to the sensor through a sensor ground circuit
and a sensor signal circuit. As the evaporator tem-
perature increases, the resistance of the sensor
decreases and the voltage monitored by the control
decreases. The control uses this monitored voltage
reading to an indication of the evaporator tempera-
ture. The A/C-heater control is programmed to
respond to this input by sending electronic messages
to the powertrain control module (PCM) over the pro-
grammable communications interface (PCI) data bus,
and the PCM then cycles the A/C compressor clutch
as necessary to optimize A/C system performance andto protect the system from evaporator freezing. The
external location of the sensor allows the sensor to be
removed or installed without disturbing the refriger-
ant in the system. The evaporator temperature sen-
sor is diagnosed using a DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to
Body Diagnostic Procedures.

to the infrared sensor inputs by calculating and
adjusting the air flow temperature and air flow rate
needed to properly obtain and maintain the individ-
ually selected comfort level temperatures of both the
driver and passenger seat occupants. The ATC heat-
er-A/C control module continually monitors the infra-
red sensor circuits, and will store a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) for any problem it detects. This
DTC information can be retrieved and the infrared

MODE DOOR ACTUATOR
DESCRIPTION
The mode door actuator is a reversible, 12-volt
Direct Current (DC), servo motor. The single mode
door actuator is located on the driver's side end of
the HVAC housing, close to the top of the distribution
housing. The mode door actuator is mechanically con-
nected to the mode door.
The mode door actuator is interchangeable with
the actuators for the blend air door(s) and the recir-
culation air door. Each actuator is contained within
an identical black molded plastic housing with an
integral wire connector receptacle. Two integral
mounting tabs allow the actuator to be secured with
two screws to the distribution housing. Each actuator
also has an identical output shaft with splines that
connects it to the linkage that drives the mode door.
The mode door actuator does not require mechanical
indexing to the mode door linkage, as it is electroni-
cally calibrated by the heater-A/C control module.
OPERATION
The mode door actuator is connected to the A/C-
heater control through the vehicle electrical system
by a dedicated two-wire lead and connector from the
HVAC wire harness. The mode door actuator can
move the mode door in two directions. When the A/C-
heater control pulls the voltage on one side of the
motor connection high and the other connection low,
the mode door will move in one direction. When the
A/C-heater control reverses the polarity of the volt-
age to the motor, the mode door moves in the oppo-
site direction. When the A/C-heater control makes
the voltage to both connections high or both connec-
tions low, the mode door stops and will not move.
These same motor connections also provide a feed-
back signal to the A/C-heater control. This feedback
signal allows the A/C-heater control to monitor the
operation and relative position of the mode door
actuator and the mode door. The A/C-heater control
learns the mode door stop positions during the cali-
bration procedure and will store a diagnostic trouble
code (DTC) for any problems it detects in the mode
door actuator circuits.
The mode door actuator can be diagnosed using a
DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to Body Diagnostic Proce-
dures for more information. The mode door actuator
cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if damaged or
faulty, it must be replaced.

POWER MODULE - BLOWER
MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
A blower motor power module is used on this
model when it is equipped with the optional Auto-
matic Temperature Control (ATC) system. Modelsequipped with the standard manual heater-A/C sys-
tem use a blower motor resistor block, instead of the
blower motor power module (Refer to 24 - HEATING
& AIR CONDITIONING/CONTROLS/BLOWER
MOTOR RESISTOR BLOCK - DESCRIPTION).
The blower motor power module is mounted to the
rear of the HVAC housing, directly behind the glove
box opening in the instrument panel. The module
consists of a molded plastic mounting plate with two
integral connector receptacles. Concealed behind the
mounting plate is the power module electronic cir-
cuitry and a large finned, heat sink. The blower
motor power module is accessed for service by remov-
ing the glove box from the instrument panel.
OPERATION
The blower motor power module is connected to the
vehicle electrical system through a dedicated lead
and connector from the instrument panel wire har-
ness. A second connector receptacle receives a wire
lead connector from the blower motor. The blower
motor power module allows the microprocessor-based
Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) heater-A/C
control module to calculate and provide infinitely
variable blower motor speeds based upon either man-
ual blower switch input or the ATC programming
using a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) circuit strat-
egy. The PWM voltage is applied to a comparator cir-
cuit 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 motor power module is diagnosed using a
DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to Body Diagnostic Proce-
dures.

RECIRCULATION DOOR
ACTUATOR
DESCRIPTION
The recirculation door actuator is a reversible,
12-volt direct current (DC), servo motor. The single
recirculation door actuator is located on the passen-
ger side end of the HVAC housing, on the air inlet
housing. The recirculation door actuator is mechani-
cally connected to the recirculation-air door. The
recirculation door 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
connector receptacle. Two integral mounting tabs
allow the actuator to be secured with two screws to
the air inlet housing. Each actuator also has an iden-
tical 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 A/C-heater control.
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 lead and con-
nector of the HVAC wire harness. The recirculation
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
allows the module to monitor the operation and rela-
tive position of the recirculation door actuator and
the recirculation air door. The heater-A/C control
module learns the recirculation air door stop posi-
tions during the calibration procedure and will store
a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any problems it
detects in the recirculation door actuator circuits.
The recirculation door actuator can be diagnosed
using a DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to Body Diagnostic
Procedures for more information. The recirculation
door actuator cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if
damaged or faulty, it must be replaced.

BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR
DESCRIPTION
The rear blend door actuator is a reversible,
12-volt Direct Current (DC), servo motor. The single
blend door actuator is located on the outboard side of
the rear HVAC housing, below the mode door actua-
tor. The blend door actuator is mechanically con-
nected to the blend air door.
The rear blend door actuator is interchangeable
with the actuator for the mode door. Each actuator is
contained within an identical black molded plastic
housing with an integral wire connector receptacle.
Two integral mounting tabs allow the actuator to be
secured with two screws to the rear HVAC housing.
Each actuator also has an identical output shaft with
splines that connects it to the pivot or linkage of the
proper door. The rear blend door actuator does not
require mechanical indexing to the blend air door
pivot, as it is electronically calibrated by the front
heater-A/C control module.
OPERATION
The rear blend door actuator is connected to the
front heater-A/C control module through the vehicle
electrical system by a dedicated two-wire take out
and connector of the rear HVAC wire harness. The
blend door actuator can move the blend air door in
two directions. When the front heater-A/C control
module pulls the voltage on one side of the motor
connection high and the other connection low, the
blend air door will move in one direction. When the
module reverses the polarity of the voltage to the
motor, the blend air door moves in the opposite direc-
tion. When the module makes the voltage to both
connections high or both connections low, the blend
air door stops and will not move. These same motor
connections also provide a feedback signal to the
front heater-A/C control module. This feedback signal
allows the module to monitor the operation and rela-
tive positions of the blend door actuator and the
blend air door. The front heater-A/C control module
learns the blend air door stop positions during the
calibration procedure and will store a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) for any problems it detects in
the blend door actuator circuits.
The rear blend door actuator can be diagnosed
using a DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to Body Diagnostic
Procedures for more information. The rear blend door

BLOWER MOTOR RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The blower motor relay is a International Stan-
dards Organization (ISO) mini-relay (Fig. 4). Relays
conforming to the ISO specifications have common
physical dimensions, current capacities, terminal pat-
terns, and terminal functions. The ISO mini-relay
terminal functions are the same as a conventional
ISO relay. However, the ISO mini-relay terminal pat-
tern (or footprint) is different, the current capacity is
lower, and the physical dimensions are smaller than
those of the conventional ISO relay. The rear blower
motor relay is located in the Integrated Power Mod-
ule (IPM), which is in the engine compartment near
the battery. See the fuse and relay layout map
molded into the inner surface of the IPM cover for
rear blower motor relay identification and location.
The black, molded plastic case is the most visible
component of the blower motor relay. Five male
spade-type terminals extend from the bottom of the
base to connect the relay to the vehicle electrical sys-
tem, and the ISO designation for each terminal is
molded into the base adjacent to each terminal. The
ISO terminal designations are as follows:
²30 (Common Feed)- This terminal is con-
nected to the movable contact point of the relay.
²85 (Coil Ground)- This terminal is connected
to the ground feed side of the relay control coil.
²86 (Coil Battery)- This terminal is connected
to the battery feed side of the relay control coil.
²87 (Normally Open)- This terminal is con-
nected to the normally open fixed contact point of the
relay.²87A (Normally Closed)- This terminal is con-
nected to the normally closed fixed contact point of
the relay.
The rear blower motor relay cannot be adjusted or
repaired. If the relay is damaged or faulty, it must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The rear blower motor relay is an electromechani-
cal switch that uses a low current input from the
Front Control Module (FCM) to control the high cur-
rent output to the rear blower motor resistor (man-
ual heater-A/C control) or rear blower motor power
module (ATC heater-A/C control). The movable com-
mon feed contact point is held against the fixed nor-
mally closed contact point by spring pressure. When
the relay coil is energized, an electromagnetic field is
produced by the coil windings. This electromagnetic
field draws the movable relay contact point away
from the fixed normally closed contact point, and
holds it against the fixed normally open contact
point. When the relay coil is de-energized, spring
pressure returns the movable contact point back
against the fixed normally closed contact point. The
resistor or diode is connected in parallel with the
relay coil in the relay, and helps to dissipate voltage
spikes and electromagnetic interference that can be
generated as the electromagnetic field of the relay
coil collapses.
The rear blower motor relay terminals are con-
nected to the vehicle electrical system through a
receptacle in the Integrated Power Module (IPM).
The inputs and outputs of the rear blower motor
relay include:
²The common feed terminal (30) receives a bat-
tery current input from the battery through a B(+)
circuit at all times.
²The coil ground terminal (85) receives a ground
input through the front/rear blower motor relay con-
trol circuit only when the FCM electronically pulls
the control circuit to ground.
²The coil battery terminal (86) receives a battery
current input from the battery through a B(+) circuit
at all times.
²The normally open terminal (87) provides a bat-
tery current output to the blower motor resistor
(manual heater-A/C control) or blower power module
(ATC heater-A/C control) through a fuse in the IPM
on the fused rear blower motor relay output circuit
only when the blower motor relay coil is energized.
²The normally closed terminal (87A) is not con-
nected to any circuit in this application, but provides
a battery current output only when the rear blower
motor relay coil is de-energized.
