BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR
DESCRIPTION
The blend door actuators are reversible, 12-volt
Direct Current (DC), servo motors. Models with the
single zone heater and air conditioner system have a
single blend air door, which is controlled by a single
blend door actuator. Models with the optional dual
zone front heater and air conditioner system have
dual blend air doors, which are controlled by two
blend door actuators. The single zone blend door
actuator is located on the driver's side end of the
HVAC housing, close to the middle of the distribution
housing. In the dual zone system, the same blend
door actuator used for the single zone system
becomes the passenger blend door actuator, and is
mechanically connected to only the passenger side
blend air door. In the dual zone system, a second sep-
arate blend door actuator is also located on the
driver side end of the HVAC housing, close to the
middle of the distribution housing, and is mechani-
cally connected to only the driver's side blend air
door.
The blend door actuators are interchangeable with
each other, as well as with the actuators for the
mode door and the recirculation air door. Each actua-
tor 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 distri-
bution housing. Each actuator also has an identical
output shaft with splines that connects it to the link-
age that drives the proper blend air door. The blend
door actuators do not require mechanical indexing to
the blend door linkage, as they are electronically cal-
ibrated by the heater-A/C control module.
OPERATION
The blend door actuators are connected to the A/C-
heater control through the vehicle electrical system
by a dedicated two-wire lead and connector of the
HVAC wire harness. The blend door actuator(s) can
move the blend-air door(s) in two directions. When
the A/C-heater control pulls the voltage on one side
of the motor connection high and the other connec-
tion low, the blend-air door will move in one direc-
tion. When the A/C-heater control reverses the
polarity of the voltage to the motor, the blend-air
door moves in the opposite direction.
When the A/C-heater control makes the voltage to
both connections high or both connections low, the
blend-air door stops and will not move. The A/C-
heater control uses a feedback signal positioning sys-
tem to monitor the operation and relative position of
the blend door actuator(s) and the blend-air door(s).
The A/C-heater control learns the blend-air door stoppositions during the calibration procedure and will
store a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for any prob-
lems it detects in the blend door actuator circuits.
The blend door actuators are diagnosed using a
scan tool (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDI-
TIONING - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING and to 24 -
HVAC Electrical Diagnostics for more information).
The blend door actuators cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, they must be
replaced.

BLOWER MOTOR RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The front blower motor relay is an International
Standards Organization (ISO)-type relay (Fig. 12).
Relays conforming to the ISO specifications have
common physical dimensions, current capacities, ter-
minal patterns, and terminal functions. The front
blower motor relay is located in the integrated power
module (IPM) in the engine compartment. See the
fuse and relay map on the inner surface of the cover
of the IPM for front blower motor relay identification
and location.
The black, molded plastic case is the most visible
component of the front 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 ismolded 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 front blower motor relay cannot be adjusted or
repaired. If the relay is damaged or faulty, it must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The blower motor relay is an electromechanical
switch that uses a low current input from the Front
Control Module (FCM) to control the high current
output to the blower motor resistor (manual heater-
A/C control) or blower power module (ATC control).
The movable common feed contact point is held
against the fixed normally closed contact point by
spring pressure. When the relay coil is energized, an
electromagnetic field is produced by the coil wind-
ings. 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 interfer-
ence that can be generated as the electromagnetic
field of the relay coil collapses.

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. Models
equipped 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-air 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 recirculation-air door
will move in one direction.
When the A/C-heater control makes the voltage to
both connections high or both connections low, the
recirculation-air door stops and will not move. The
A/C-heater control uses a feedback signal positioning
system to monitor the operation and relative position
of the recirculation door actuator and the recircula-
tion-air door. The A/C-heater control learns the recir-
culation-air door stop positions 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 is diagnosed using
a scan tool (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDI-
TIONING - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING and to 24 -

The recirculation door actuator cannot be adjusted
or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, it must be
replaced.
