2005 CHRYSLER VOYAGER Rear control

defogger function will be active for 10 minutes and
can be turned off by a switch press. The defogger will
function while the control is in the ON mode.
²FAN/MODE± The Fan and Mode knobs have
17 manual selectable positions. Manually changing
either of the rotary knobs for mode or fan speed set-
tings makes control of that blower motor manual. If
only one is changed manually, the other remains
under automatic control. Pressing the HI-AUTO/LO-
AUTO rocker switch restores full automatic control.
²BLOWER DELAY TIMER± The word DELAY
is displayed at start-up to signify that the system is
waiting so that cold air will not be blowing. This tells
the operator that it is unnecessary to turn the sys-
tem off, raise the temperature setting or turn the fan
speed setting down to prevent cold air from blowing.
A countdown in minutes and seconds until the engine
is warm enough to begin delivering heat to the pas-
sengers alternates with the DELAY message at 25
second intervals. This countdown is based on actual
measurement of the rate of engine coolant tempera-
ture change. During the delay time, mix mode is
selected and the fan operates at a low speed to keep
the windshield fog free.
²REAR CONTROL (Three-Zone only)± When
the Rear System control knob is moved to the OFF
position, there will be a delay of approximately 1 sec-
ond before the system actually turns off. This delay
is to prevent an undesired blower dropout if the knob
is moved through OFF to the other selections.
REAR CONTROL PANEL ± THREE ZONE ATC
SYSTEM
Primary control of the rear compartment heating-
A/C system for the Three-Zone ATC system is in the
instrument panel center stack. This control allows
the driver to turn the rear heating-A/C system off, or
allows the intermediate seat occupants control of the
rear system by switching to the REAR position, or
provides fully automatic control based on the temper-
ature setting shown on the front control display.
²REAR CONTROL± Selecting automatic control
of the rear unit at the instrument panel, illuminates
a Locked Padlock in the rear control panel display.
Selecting REAR activates the rear control panel and
the Padlock then appears unlocked.
²FAN KNOB± The rear fan control has Off and
AUTO positions and a range of manual speed set-
tings that override the AUTO setting.
²MODE KNOB± The mode control allows inter-
mediate seat occupants to manually override the
automatic mode and select any balance of air flow
between overhead and floor outlets from full over-
head to full floor.
²SET TEMP± The rear set temp control will
operate identical to the front controls. If the frontcontrol rear set temp button is pressed simulta-
neously with the rear control head, then the front
control head press events shall have priority, i.e. if
the front user presses Rear Set Temp down and the
rear user presses Set Temp up, then the rear set
temp will decrease.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
A/C COOL DOWN TEST
The heater-A/C control module can perform an A/C
cool down test, which is a test performed during the
manufacturing process to confirm that the air condi-
tioning system is performing satisfactorily. This test
can also provide a quick confirmation of air condi-
tioning system performance to the service technician.
If the test is completed satisfactorily, no further ser-
vice is required. If the test is failed, proceed to the
A/C Performance Test to confirm the A/C system is
operating properly, or use a DRBIIItscan tool to
diagnose the A/C system control and distribution sys-
tems. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic informa-
tion.
MANUAL TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The front blower speed and rear blower speed (if
equipped with rear HVAC) must be set to High and
the evaporator temperature sensor must be greater
than 13É C (55É F) or the test will fail immediately.
The test is activated by depressing the A/C and Rear
Wipe/Wash buttons simultaneously and holding them
depressed for no less than five seconds. The Rear
Wipe/Wash and A/C LEDs will blink on and off until
the test is complete. If the LEDs stop blinking before
two minutes, then the cool down test has been com-
pleted successfully. If the two minutes expire without
the expansion valve temperature reaching -6É C (20É
F) less than the outside air temperature, then the
cool down test has been failed and further A/C sys-
tem diagnosis is required. If the test is failed, the
LEDs will continue to blink until the vehicle has
been driven for greater than 13 km (8 miles).
AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The ambient air temperature in the room where
the vehicle will be tested must be a minimum of 21É
C (70ÉF) for this test. The test is activated by
depressing the A/C and PWR buttons simultaneously
and holding them depressed for no less than four sec-
onds. The snowflake icon and the DELAY text in the
ATC display will blink on and off alternately until
the test is complete. If the snowflake icon and the
DELAY text stop blinking before two minutes, then
the cool down test has been completed successfully. If
the two minutes expire without the evaporator tem-
perature reaching -6É C (20É F) less than the evapo-

(b) If the compressor clutch coil current reading
is four amperes or more, the coil is shorted and
must be replaced.
STANDARD PROCEDURE
CLUTCH INSPECTION
NOTE: The compressor clutch can be serviced in
the vehicle. The refrigerant system can remain fully-
charged during compressor clutch, pulley, or coil
replacement.
Examine the friction surfaces of the clutch pulley
and the clutch plate for wear. The pulley and plate
should be replaced if there is excessive wear or scor-
ing.
If the friction surfaces are oily, inspect the shaft
and nose area of the A/C compressor for refrigerant
oil. If refrigerant oil is found, the compressor shaft
seal is leaking and the A/C compressor must be
replaced.
Check the clutch pulley bearing for roughness or
excessive leakage of grease. Replace the pulley and
bearing assembly, if required.
A/C CLUTCH BREAK-IN
After a new A/C compressor clutch has been
installed, cycle the compressor clutch approximately
twenty times (five seconds on, then five seconds off).
During this procedure, set the A/C-heater controls to
the A/C Recirculation Mode, the blower motor in the
highest speed position, and the engine speed at 1500
to 2000 rpm. This procedure (burnishing) will seat
the opposing friction surfaces of the compressor
clutch, which provides optimum compressor clutch
torque capability.
REMOVAL
NOTE: The compressor clutch can be serviced in
the vehicle. The refrigerant system can remain fully-
charged during compressor clutch, pulley, or coil
replacement.
(1) Disconnect and isolate the negative battery
cable.
(2) Remove the accessory drive belt (Refer to 7 -
COOLING/ACCESSORY DRIVE/DRIVE BELTS -

(4) Disconnect the engine wire harness connector
for the compressor clutch coil from the clutch coil pig-
tail wire connector on the top of the A/C compressor.
(5) On models with the 3.3L and 3.8L engines, dis-
engage the retainer on the engine wire harness com-pressor clutch coil take out from the bracket on the
top of the A/C compressor.
(6) On models with the 2.4L, 2.5L and 2.8L
engines, remove all of the compressor mounting bolts
except the upper left (rear of the A/C compressor),
which should only be loosened. Allow the front (pul-
ley end) of the A/C compressor to tilt downward far
enough to access the clutch for removal, then tighten
the loosened upper left compressor mounting bolt.
(7) On models with the 3.3L and 3.8L engines,
remove the two bolts and two nuts that secure the
A/C compressor to the engine. Disengage the mount-
ing ear at the front of the A/C compressor from the

install a trial stack of shims 2.54 mm (0.010 in.)
thick on the compressor shaft against the shoulder.
(7) Install the clutch plate onto the compressor
shaft.
NOTE: The shims may compress after tightening
the shaft bolt. Check the air gap in four or more
places to verify the air gap is still correct. Spin the
pulley before performing a final check of the air
gap.
(8) With the clutch plate assembly tight against
the shim(s), measure the air gap between the clutch
plate and the pulley face with feeler gauges. The air
gap should be between 0.35 - 0.60 mm (0.014 - 0.024
in.). If the proper air gap is not obtained, add or sub-
tract shims as needed until the desired air gap is
obtained.
(9) Install the compressor shaft bolt. Tighten the

A/C HEATER CONTROL
DESCRIPTION
The A/C-heater control is located at the center of
the instrument panel and uses electrical 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 suggested operation and use of these controls.
The A/C-heater control cannot be repaired. If faulty
or damaged, the entire unit must be replaced. The
control knobs are available for service replacement.
STANDARD PROCEDURE
A/C-HEATER CONTROL CALIBRATION
The A/C-heater control module must be recali-
brated each time an actuator motor or the control
module is replaced. If the vehicle is so equipped, the
calibration procedure also includes rear HVAC posi-
tions for each actuator motor.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.

heater control for at least five seconds. The MTC
A/C-heater control Rear Wipe/Wash Light Emitting
Diode (LED) and Recirculation LED, or the ATC A/C-
heater control Delay and Recirculation graphics will
begin to flash when the calibration procedure has
begun.
(3) The calibration procedure should take less than
two minutes to complete for the manual A/C-heater
control, and less than twenty seconds for the ATC
A/C-heater control. When the LEDs or graphics stop
flashing, the calibration procedure is complete.
(4) If the LEDs or graphics continue to flash
beyond the two minute (manual) or twenty second
(ATC) calibration time, it indicates that the A/C-
heater control has detected a failure and a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) has been set. Refer to Body
Diagnostic Procedures to perform further diagnosis.
The LEDs or graphics will continue to flash even
after the ignition switch is cycled Off and On, until a
successful calibration is completed or until the vehi-
cle has been driven about 13 kilometers (8 miles).

A/C PRESSURE TRANSDUCER
DESCRIPTION
The A/C pressure transducer is a switch that is
installed on a fitting located on the refrigerant liquid
line between the receiver/drier and the expansion
valve in the right rear corner of the engine compart-
ment. An internally threaded hex fitting on the
transducer connects it to the externally threaded
Schrader-type fitting on the liquid line. A rubber
O-ring seals the connection between the transducer
and the liquid line fitting. Three terminals within a
molded plastic connector receptacle on the top of the
transducer connect it to the vehicle electrical system
through a wire lead and connector of the headlamp
and dash wire harness.
The A/C pressure transducer cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, it must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The A/C pressure transducer monitors the pres-
sures in the high side of the refrigerant system
through its connection to a fitting on the liquid line.
The transducer will change its internal resistance in
response to the pressures it monitors. The power-
train control module (PCM) provides a five volt ref-
erence signal and a sensor ground to the transducer,
then monitors the output voltage of the transducer
on a sensor return circuit to determine refrigerant
pressure. The PCM is programmed to respond to this
and other sensor inputs by controlling the operation
of the A/C compressor clutch and the radiator cooling
fan to help optimize air conditioning system perfor-

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.

BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR
BLOCK
DESCRIPTION
A blower motor resistor is used on this model when
it is equipped with the manual heater-A/C system.
Models equipped with the optional Automatic Tem-
perature Control (ATC) system use a blower power
module, instead of the blower motor resistor block
(Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/
CONTROLS/POWER MODULE - DESCRIPTION).
The blower motor resistor block is mounted to the
rear of the HVAC housing, directly behind the glove
box opening in the instrument panel. The resistor
block consists of a molded plastic mounting plate
with two integral connector receptacles. Concealed
behind the mounting plate are four coiled resistor
wires contained within a protective stamped steel
cage. The blower motor resistor block is accessed for
service by removing the glove box from the instru-
ment panel.
OPERATION
The blower motor resistor block is connected to the
vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take
out and connector of the instrument panel wire har-
ness. A second connector receptacle receives the pig-
tail wire connector from the blower motor. The
blower motor resistor has multiple resistor wires,

EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE
SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The evaporator temperature sensor used for the
manual and automatic temperature control systems
on RS models is installed on the top of the HVAC
housing behind the instrument panel and measures
the air temperature downstream of the evaporator
(Fig. 15). The sensor is an electrical thermistor in a
plastic housing that is inserted into the HVAC hous-
ing. Two terminals within the molded plastic connec-
tor 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 used for the
manual and automatic temperature control systems
on RG models is installed on the top of the expansion
valve in the right rear corner of the engine compart-
ment and measures the temperature of the evapora-
tor coils (Fig. 16). The sensor has a small probe that
is inserted in a small well in the body of the expan-
sion valve that is filled with a special silicone-based
thermal grease. A small molded plastic push-in
retainer secures the sensor to a threaded hole in the
top surface of the expansion valve. Two terminals
within a molded plastic connector receptacle on thesensor connect it to the vehicle electrical system
through a take out and connector of the HVAC wire
harness.
