DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION - HVAC SYSTEM AIRFLOW
The system draws outside air through the cowl
opening at the base of the windshield. Then it goes
into the plenum chamber above the HVAC unit hous-
ing and passes through the evaporator. At this point
airflow can be directed either through or around the
heater core.
DESCRIPTION - HVAC FORCED
RECIRCULATION
The Body Control Module (BCM) receives a Pro-
grammable Communications Interface (PCI) bus mes-
sage from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
with the feedback from the A/C Pressure Transducer.
The BCM will force the system into the Recirculation
mode, reducing the A/C refrigerant pressure under
these extreme conditions. The reduced operating
pressure offers improved A/C system performance
and reduced wear on A/C components.
OPERATION - HVAC SYSTEM AIRFLOW
Airflow temperature can be adjusted by the blend
door with the TEMP control on the a/c heater control.
After the air passes the blend door, the air flow is
then directed from the PANEL, BI-LEVEL (panel
and floor), and FLOOR-DEFROST outlets. Air flow
velocity can be adjusted with the blower speed selec-
tor switch on the a/c heater control.
Ambient air intake can be shut off by closing the
recirculation door. This will recirculate the air that is
already inside the vehicle. See owners manual for
recirculation operation.
BLOWER MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
The blower motor and blower wheel are located in
the passenger side end of the HVAC housing, below
the glove box module. The blower motor controls the
velocity of the air flowing through the HVAC housing
by spinning a squirrel cage-type blower wheel within
the housing at the selected speed. The blower motor
and blower wheel can be serviced from the passenger
compartment side of the housing.
OPERATION
The blower motor will only operate when the igni-
tion switch is in the On position, and the a/c heater
mode control switch is in any position, except off. The
blower motor circuit is protected by a fuse in the
junction block. On models with the standard manual
temperature control system, the blower motor speed
is controlled by regulating the battery feed through
the blower motor switch and the blower motor resis-
tor. On models with Automatic Temperature Control
(ATC) system, the blower motor speed is controlled
by using a linear blower controller with a pulse
width modulation input. The blower motor power
module adjusts the battery feed voltage to the blower
motor, based upon an input from the blower motor
switch, through the ATC control module. Pulse width
modulation of blower power allows the blower to
operate at any speed from stationary, to full speed.
The blower motor and blower motor wheel cannot
be repaired, and if faulty or damaged, they must be
replaced. The blower motor and blower wheel are not
serviced separately and must be replaced as an
assembly.

REMOVAL
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR-
BAGS, DISABLE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM BEFORE
ATTEMPTING ANY STEERING WHEEL, STEERING
COLUMN, OR INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT
DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. DISCONNECT AND ISO-
LATE THE BATTERY NEGATIVE (GROUND) CABLE,
THEN WAIT TWO MINUTES FOR THE AIRBAG SYS-
TEM CAPACITOR TO DISCHARGE BEFORE PER-

IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE AIRBAG
SYSTEM. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRE-
CAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENTAL
AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL
INJURY.
(1) Open the hood and disconnect the negative bat-
tery cable remote terminal from the remote battery
post(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/BATTERY SYSTEM/

push the grommet through the blower motor housing
cover.
(5) Remove the blower motor housing cover.
(6) Remove the blower motor retaining screws.
(7) Lower the blower motor from housing.

WARNING: REVIEW THE WARNINGS IN THE FRONT
OF PLUMBING BEFORE PERFORMING THE FOL-
LOWING OPERATION. (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR
CONDITIONING/PLUMBING - WARNING)
(1) Open the hood and disconnect the negative bat-
tery cable remote terminal from the remote battery
post(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/BATTERY SYSTEM/
CABLES - REMOVAL).
(2) Remove the instrument panel from vehicle(Re-
fer to 23 - BODY/INSTRUMENT PANEL/INSTRU-
MENT PANEL ASSEMBLY - REMOVAL).
(3) Recover the refrigerant from the system. (Refer
to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMB-
ING - STANDARD PROCEDURE - REFRIGERANT
RECOVERY)
(4) Drain the engine cooling system(Refer to 7 -
COOLING - STANDARD PROCEDURE).
(5) Remove the air cleaner hose and air distribu-
tion duct from the engine.
(6) Remove the spring type heater hose fasteners
at the dash panel and remove the hoses from heater
core. Plug the heater core inlet and outlet tubes to
prevent anti-freeze from spilling on the vehicle inte-
rior during removal. If an appropriate plug cannot be
found pull back carpet and use caution when remov-
ing the HVAC housing. Keep the heater tubes ele-
vated to prevent spillage of coolant.
(7) Remove one nut at expansion valve retaining
both A/C lines to expansion valve. After removing the
lines cap the expansion valve openings and the A/C
hose openings. This will prevent any dirt or moisture
from entering the refrigerant system during servic-
ing.
CAUTION: The lubricant used in this air condition-
ing system absorbs moisture readily (similar to
brake fluid). Do not leave any portion of the system
open for extended periods of time.

studs. These studs project through the dash panel
into the engine compartment.
(9) Remove two screws to the defrost duct and
remove.
