WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, on
vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supple-
mental restraint system before attempting any
steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt
tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel com-
ponent diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate
the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two
minutes for the system capacitor to discharge
before performing further diagnosis or service. This
is the only sure way to disable the supplemental
restraint system. Failure to take the proper precau-
tions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) If servicing the driver side air outlets, remove
the instrument cluster bezel (Refer to 23 - BODY/IN-
STRUMENT PANEL/CLUSTER BEZEL -

A/CEVAPORATOR
DESCRIPTION
The A/C evaporator for the heating-A/C system is
located within the HVAC housing, behind the instru-
ment panel (Fig. 8). The A/C evaporator is positioned
within the HVAC housing so that all air entering the
housing must pass over the evaporator fins before it
is distributed through the heating-A/C system ducts
and outlets. However, air passing over the evaporator
fins will only be conditioned when the A/C compres-
sor is engaged and circulating refrigerant through
the A/C evaporator.
The A/C evaporator tubes are connected and sealed
to the A/C expansion valve by use of rubber O-rings
and a tapping block.
The A/C evaporator is serviced by removing and
disassembling the HVAC housing.
OPERATION
Refrigerant enters the evaporator from the expan-
sion valve as a low-temperature, low-pressure liquid.
As air flows over the fins of the evaporator, the
humidity in the air condenses on the fins, and the
heat from the air is absorbed by the refrigerant. Heat
absorption causes the refrigerant to boil and vapor-
ize. The refrigerant becomes a low-pressure gas
before it leaves the evaporator.
The evaporator cannot be repaired and, if faulty or
damaged, it must be replaced.
REMOVAL
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, on
vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supple-
mental restraint system before attempting any
steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt
tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel com-
ponent diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate
the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two
minutes for the system capacitor to discharge
before performing further diagnosis or service. This
is the only sure way to disable the supplemental
restraint system. Failure to take the proper precau-
tions could result in accidental airbag deployment.

INSTALLATION
(1) Install the electric coolant pump and mounting
bracket onto the body studs.
(2) Install the two bracket retaining nuts. Tighten
the nuts to 5 N´m (45 in. lbs.).
(3) Using a twisting motion gently install both
hoses onto the electric coolant pump.
(4) Tighten both hose clamps securely.
(5) Connect the wire harness connector to the elec-
tric coolant pump.
(6) Reconnect the negative battery cable.
(7) Fill the engine cooling system (Refer to 7 -
COOLING/ENGINE/COOLANT - STANDARD PRO-
CEDURE - COOLING SYSTEM FILL).
HEATER CORE
DESCRIPTION
The heater core is mounted into the HVAC hous-
ing, located behind the instrument panel (Fig. 14).
The heater core is a heat exchanger made of rows of
tubes and fins. The heater core tubes are attached to
the heater core by using O-ring seals and bolts.
The heater core is serviced by removing and disas-
sembling the HVAC housing.
OPERATION
Engine coolant is circulated through the heater
hoses to the heater core whenever the heater water
valve is cycled open by the ATC A/C-heater control.
As the coolant flows through the heater core, heat
removed from the engine is transferred to the heater
core fins and tubes. Air directed through the heater
core picks up the heat from the heater core fins. The
heater water valve controls the heater output air
temperature by controlling the amount of heated
engine coolant flowing through the heater core. The
blower motor speed controls the volume of air flowing
through the HVAC housing.
The heater core cannot be repaired and, if faulty or
damaged, it must be replaced.
REMOVAL
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, on
vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supple-
mental restraint system before attempting any
steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt
tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel com-
ponent diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate
the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two
minutes for the system capacitor to discharge
before performing further diagnosis or service. This
is the only sure way to disable the supplemental
restraint system. Failure to take the proper precau-
tions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
