2005 CHRYSLER VOYAGER oil temperature

ment can be obtained. The result of this engagement
is a direct 1:1 mechanical link between the engine
and the transmission.
The engagement and disengagement of the TCC
are automatic and controlled by the Powertrain Con-
trol Module (PCM). The engagement cannot be acti-
vated in the lower gears because it eliminates the
torque multiplication effect of the torque converter
necessary for acceleration. Inputs that determine
clutch engagement are: coolant temperature, vehicle
speed and throttle position. The torque converter
clutch is engaged by the clutch solenoid on the valve
body. The clutch will engage at approximately 56
km/h (35 mph) with light throttle, after the shift to
third gear.
REMOVAL
(1) Remove transmission and torque converter
from vehicle. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMISSION/TRANS-
AXLE/AUTOMATIC - 41TE - REMOVAL)
(2) Place a suitable drain pan under the converter
housing end of the transmission.
CAUTION: Verify that transmission is secure on the
lifting device or work surface, the center of gravity
of the transmission will shift when the torque con-
verter is removed creating an unstable condition.
The torque converter is a heavy unit. Use caution
when separating the torque converter from the
transmission.
(3) Pull the torque converter forward until the cen-
ter hub clears the oil pump seal.
(4) Separate the torque converter from the trans-
mission.
INSTALLATION
Check converter hub and drive notches for sharp
edges, burrs, scratches, or nicks. Polish the hub and
notches with 320/400 grit paper or crocus cloth if nec-
essary. The hub must be smooth to avoid damaging
the pump seal at installation.
(1) Lubricate converter hub and oil pump seal lip
with transmission fluid.
(2) Place torque converter in position on transmis-
sion.
CAUTION: Do not damage oil pump seal or bushing
while inserting torque converter into the front of the
transmission.(3) Align torque converter to oil pump seal open-
ing.
(4) Insert torque converter hub into oil pump.
(5) While pushing torque converter inward, rotate
converter until converter is fully seated in the oil
pump gears.
(6) Check converter seating with a scale and
straightedge (Fig. 329). Surface of converter lugs
should be 1/2 in. to rear of straightedge when con-
verter is fully seated.
(7) If necessary, temporarily secure converter with
C-clamp attached to the converter housing.
(8) Install the transmission in the vehicle. (Refer
to 21 - TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC
- 41TE - INSTALLATION)
(9) Fill the transmission with the recommended
fluid. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/
AUTOMATIC - 41TE/FLUID - STANDARD PROCE-
DURE)

OPERATION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) (Fig. 331)
communicates shift lever position (SLP) to the PCM/
TCM as a combination of open and closed switches.
Each shift lever position has an assigned combina-
tion of switch states (open/closed) that the PCM/TCM
receives from four sense circuits. The PCM/TCM
interprets this information and determines the
appropriate transaxle gear position and shift sched-
ule.
Since there are four switches, there are 16 possible
combinations of open and closed switches (codes).
Seven of these codes are related to gear position and
three are recognized as ªbetween gearº codes. This
results in six codes which should never occur. These
are called ªinvalidº codes. An invalid code will result
in a DTC, and the PCM/TCM will then determine the
shift lever position based on pressure switch data.
This allows reasonably normal transmission opera-
tion with a TRS failure.

TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The TRS has an integrated thermistor (Fig. 332)
that the PCM/TCM uses to monitor the transmis-
sion's sump temperature. Since fluid temperature
can affect transmission shift quality and convertor
lock up, the PCM/TCM requires this information to
determine which shift schedule to operate in. The
PCM also monitors this temperature data so it can
energize the vehicle cooling fan(s) when a transmis-
sion ªoverheatº condition exists. If the thermistor cir-
cuit fails, the PCM/TCM will revert to calculated oil
temperature usage.
CALCULATED TEMPERATURE
A failure in the temperature sensor or circuit will
result in calculated temperature being substituted for
actual temperature. Calculated temperature is a pre-dicted fluid temperature which is calculated from a
combination of inputs:
²Battery (ambient) temperature
²Engine coolant temperature
²In-gear run time since start-up
REMOVAL
(1) Remove valve body assembly from transaxle.
(Refer to 21 - TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTO-
MATIC - 41TE/VALVE BODY - REMOVAL)
(2) Remove transmission range sensor retaining
screw and remove sensor from valve body (Fig. 333).
(3) Remove TRS from manual shaft.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install transmission range sensor (TRS) to the
valve body and torque retaining screw (Fig. 333) to 5
N´m (45 in. lbs.).

DESCRIPTION
ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
To maintain the performance level of the heating,
ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system, the
engine cooling system must be properly maintained.
The use of a bug screen is not recommended. Any
obstructions in front of the radiator or condenser will
reduce the performance of the air conditioning and
engine cooling systems.
The engine cooling system includes the radiator,
thermostat, radiator hoses and the engine coolant
pump. Refer to Cooling for more information before
opening or attempting any service to the engine cool-
ing system.
HEATER AND AIR CONDITIONER
A manually controlled single zone type heating-air
conditioning system, manually controlled dual zone
type heating-air conditioning system, manually con-
trolled three zone type heating-air conditioning sys-
tem or an automatic controlled three zone type
heating-air conditioning system is available on this
model.
All vehicles are equipped with a common heater,
ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) housing (Fig.
1). The system combines air conditioning, heating,
and ventilating capabilities in a single unit housingmounted within the passenger compartment under
the instrument panel. The HVAC housing includes:
²Blower motor
²Blower motor resistor block or power module
(depending on application)
²Heater core
²Evaporator coil
²Blend door and actuator
²Mode door and actuator
²Recirculation door and actuator
Based upon the system and mode selected, condi-
tioned air can exit the HVAC housing through one or

the knob show the current setting.
²a rotary knob for control of the rear system

²computer logic which remembers the settings of
the controls when the ignition is turned off and
retains those settings after a restart. If the system is
off when the ignition is turned off it will be off when
the engine is restarted, etc.
²computer logic which provides variable air recir-
culation under high temperature and humidity condi-
tions. Because recirculation is generally accompanied
by increased fan noise, the proportion of recirculated
to outside air gradually approaches full recirculation
over a broad temperature range.
²computer logic which enables additional heat for
diesel equipped vehicles by using a supplemental
engine coolant heater.
REAR CONTROL PANEL
The Three-Zone ATC sytem utilizes a rear control
panel centrally mounted on the headliner which
includes a VF digital display, a rocker control for
temperature and rotary controls for adjustment of
mode and fan speed of the rear heating-A/C system
by intermediate seat passengers.
OPERATION
HEATER AND AIR CONDITIONER
The heating and air conditioning systems pulls
outside (ambient) air through the cowl opening at the
base of the windshield and into the plenum chamber
above the heating, ventilation and air conditioning
(HVAC) housing, then through the evaporator coil.
Air flow can be directed either through or around the
heater core by adjusting the blend door with the tem-
perature control knob on the A/C-heater control
located on instrument panel. The air flow can then
be directed out from the panel, floor and defrost out-
lets in various combinations using the mode control
knob located on the A/C-heater control. Air flow
velocity can be adjusted with the blower speed selec-
tor located on the A/C-heater control.
NOTE: It is important to keep the air intake opening
clear of debris. Leaf particles and other debris that
is small enough to pass through the cowl opening
screen can accumulate within the HVAC housing.
The closed, warm, damp and dark environment cre-
ated within the housing is ideal for the growth of
certain molds, mildews and other fungi. Any accu-mulation of decaying plant matter provides an addi-
tional food source for fungal spores, which enter
the housing with the fresh intake-air. Excess debris,
as well as objectionable odors created by decaying
plant matter and growing fungi can be discharged
into the passenger compartment during heater-A/C
operation if the air intake opening is not kept clear
of debris.
The heater and air conditioning system is a blend-
air type system. In a blend-air system, a blend door
controls the amount of conditioned air that is allowed
to flow through, or around, the heater core. The tem-
perature control knob determines the discharge air
temperature by actuating an electric motor, which
operates the blend door. This allows an almost imme-
diate control of the output air temperature of the sys-
tem.
On all models, the outside air intake can be shut
off by pressing the Recirculation button on the A/C-
heater control. This will operate a electric actuated
recirculation air door that closes off the outside fresh
air intake and recirculates the air that is already
inside the vehicle.
The air conditioning compressor can be engaged in
any mode by pressing the snowflake, A/C on/off but-
ton. It can also be engaged by placing the mode con-
trol in the mix to defrost positions. This will remove
heat and humidity from the air before it is directed
through or around the heater core. The mode control
knob on the A/C-heater control is used to also direct
the conditioned air to the selected system outlets.
The mode control switch uses an electric motor to
control the mode doors.MANUAL SINGLE ZONE
²The temperature control knob enables continu-
ously variable proportioning of the conditioned air.
²The mode control knob enables continuously
variable proportioning of air flow between modes and
has detents adjacent to each icon.
²The blower control provides four separate speeds
and an Off position.
²When the heater-A/C system is off, the HVAC
computer closes the recirculation door to prevent out-
side air from entering the passenger compartment.
²Interior air may be recirculated to speed up
heating or cooling in all modes except defrost and
mix by pressing the Recirculate button on the A/C-
heater control.
²To reduce humidity for rapid defogging, the A/C
compressor runs automatically in modes from ªmixº
to full defrost when outside temperatures are above
freezing.
²Air conditioning is available in any mode by
pressing the snowflake, A/C on/off button.

rator initial temperature, then the cool down test has
been failed and further A/C system diagnosis is
required. If the test is failed, the snowflake icon and
the DELAY text will continue to blink across ignition
cycles until the vehicle has been driven for greater
than 13 km (8 miles).
A/C PERFORMANCE TEST
The A/C system is designed to remove heat and
humidity from the air entering the passenger com-
partment. The evaporator, located in the HVAC hous-
ing, is cooled to temperatures near the freezing point.
As warm damp air passes over the fins in the A/C
evaporator, moisture in the air condenses to water,
dehumidifying the air. Condensation on the evapora-
tor fins reduces the evaporators ability to absorb
heat. During periods of high heat and humidity, an
A/C system will be less effective. With the instru-
ment control set to recirculation mode, only air from
the passenger compartment passes through the A/C
evaporator. As the passenger compartment air dehu-
midifies, A/C performance levels rise.
Humidity has an important bearing on the temper-
ature of the air delivered to the interior of the vehi-
cle. It is important to understand the effect that
humidity has on the performance of the A/C system.
When humidity is high, the A/C evaporator has to
perform a double duty. It must lower the air temper-
ature, and it must lower the temperature of the
moisture in the air that condenses on the evaporator
fins. Condensing the moisture in the air transfers
heat energy into the evaporator fins and tubing. This
reduces the amount of heat the A/C evaporator can
absorb from the air. High humidity greatly reduces
the ability of the A/C evaporator to lower the temper-
ature of the air.
However, evaporator capacity used to reduce the
amount of moisture in the air is not wasted. Wring-
ing some of the moisture out of the air entering the
vehicle adds to the comfort of the passengers.
Although, an owner may expect too much from their
A/C system on humid days. A performance test is the
best way to determine whether the system is per-
forming up to design standards. This test also pro-
vides valuable clues as to the possible cause of
trouble with the A/C system. The ambient air tem-perature in the location where the vehicle will be
tested must be a minimum of 21É C (70É F) for this
test.
