RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The compressor clutch relay (Fig. 7) is a Interna-
tional Standards Organization (ISO) mini-relay.
Relays conforming to the ISO specifications have
common physical dimensions, current capacities, ter-
minal patterns, and terminal functions. The ISO
mini-relay terminal functions are the same as a con-
ventional ISO relay. However, the ISO mini-relay ter-
minal pattern (or footprint) is different, the current
capacity is lower, and the physical dimensions are
smaller than those of the conventional ISO relay. The
A/C compressor clutch relay is located in the inte-
grated power module (IPM) in the engine compart-
ment. See the fuse and relay map molded into the
inner surface of the cover of the IPM for A/C com-
pressor clutch relay identification and location.
The black, molded plastic case is the most visible
component of the A/C compressor clutch relay. Five
male spade-type terminals extend from the bottom of
the base to connect the relay to the vehicle electrical
system, 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.
OPERATION
The A/C compressor clutch relay is an electrome-
chanical switch that uses a low current input from
the powertrain control module (PCM) to control the
high current output to the compressor clutch electro-
magnetic coil. The movable common feed contact
point is held against the fixed normally closed con-
tact 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 nor-
mally closed contact point, and holds it against the
fixed normally open contact point. When the relay
coil is de-energized, spring pressure returns the mov-
able contact point back against the fixed normally
closed contact point. The resistor or diode is con-
nected in parallel with the relay coil in the relay, and
helps to dissipate voltage spikes and electromagnetic
interference that can be generated as the electromag-
netic field of the relay coil collapses.
The compressor clutch 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 A/C compressor clutch
relay include:
²The common feed terminal (30) receives a bat-
tery current input from a fuse in the IPM through a
fused B(+) circuit at all times.
²The coil ground terminal (85) receives a ground
input from the PCM through the compressor clutch
relay control circuit only when the PCM electroni-
cally pulls the control circuit to ground.
²The coil battery terminal (86) receives a battery
current input from the PCM through a fused ignition
switch output (run-start) circuit only when the igni-
tion switch is in the On or Start positions.
²The normally open terminal (87) provides a bat-
tery current output to the compressor clutch coil
through the compressor clutch relay output circuit
only when the compressor clutch 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 compressor
clutch relay coil is de-energized.
The A/C compressor clutch relay cannot be
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, it must be
replaced. Refer to the appropriate wiring information
for diagnosis and testing of the micro-relay and for
complete HVAC wiring diagrams.

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.
(2) If equipped with the manual temperature con-
trol (MTC) system, press and hold the Rear Wipe/
Wash and Recirculation buttoms for at least five
seconds. If equipped with the automatic temperature
control (ATC) systen, simultaneously press and hold
the Power and Recirculation buttons on the A/C-
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-

mance and to protect the system components from
damage. The A/C pressure transducer input to the
PCM will also prevent the A/C compressor clutch
from engaging when ambient temperatures are below
about 4.5É C (40É F) due to the pressure/temperature
relationship of the refrigerant. The Schrader-type
valve in the liquid line fitting permits the A/C pres-
sure transducer to be removed or installed without
disturbing the refrigerant in the system. The A/C
pressure transducer is diagnosed using a DRBIIIt
scan tool. Refer to Body Diagnostic Procedures.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
A/C PRESSURE TRANSDUCER
The A/C pressure transducer is tested using a
DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnos-
tic information. Before testing the A/C pressure
transducer, be certain that the transducer wire har-
ness connection is clean of corrosion and properly
connected. For the A/C to operate, an A/C pressure
transducer voltage reading between 0.451 and 4.519
volts is required. Voltages outside this range indicate
a low or high refrigerant system pressure condition
to the powertrain control module (PCM). The PCM is
programmed to respond to a low or high refrigerant
system pressure by suppressing operation of the A/C
compressor. Refer to the A/C Pressure Transducer
Voltage chart for the possible conditions indicated by
the transducer voltage reading.

NOTE: Note: It is not necessary to discharge the
refrigerant system to replace the A/C pressure
transducer.
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Disconnect the wire harness connector from the
A/C pressure transducer (Fig. 10).
(3) Remove the A/C pressure transducer from the
fitting on the liquid line.

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.

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,
