Air from inside the vehicle is drawn into the air
intake grille in the right rear quarter trim panel. The
air enters the blower and is pushed through the
heater core and A/C evaporator coil. The air direc-
tion, floor or overhead, is determined by the position
of the driver's temperature control lever on the front
HVAC system control. If the temperature control
lever is below 20% heat, the auxiliary HVAC system
airflow will come from the overhead air outlets. In
between 20% and 80%, the airflow will remain in the
last position selected. In other words, if the driver
started out in full heat and then adjusted their tem-
perature lever to 30% heat as they became comfort-
able, the rear air would come out the floor outlets the
whole time.

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES
When diagnosing electrical problems in the auxil-
iary rear heater or rear A/C system, refer to Group
8W, Wiring Diagrams.

CAUTION: Do not damage the evaporator insulation
liner during installation.
(3) Carefully install the evaporator and expansion
valve straight into the unit. Do not scratch the seal-
ing surfaces with the plumbing extension tube pilots.
(4) Determine the amount of old refrigerant oil
drained from the evaporator. Add this amount (of
clean refrigerant oil) back into the system.
(5) Carefully align the expansion valve onto the
pilot tubes of the plumbing extension (do not scratch
the sealing surface). Install the bolt through the
plumbing plate into the unit sealing plate. Tighten
bolts to 2363 N´m (200630 inch pounds) torque.
(6) Install evaporator cover and blower scroll.
(7) Install quarter trim panel, evacuate/charge sys-
tem, and perform the performance test.
REAR AIR CONDITIONING LINES
WARNING: THE REFRIGERATION SYSTEM MUST
BE COMPLETELY EMPTY BEFORE PROCEEDING
WITH THIS OPERATION.
REMOVAL
(1) Hoist vehicle
(2) Remove compression fittings to the suction and
liquid lines located on the right, outboard side of the
underbody, rearward of the front crossmember. (Fig.
2)
(3) remove (1) bolt securing a/c lines to block
located on the right, outboard side of the underbody,
rearward of the rear wheel and tire. (Fig. 5)
(4) Remove (3) straps securing underbody lines.
(Fig. 1)
(5) Separate and remove a/c lines from vehicle.
INSTALLATION
(1) Before installation, replace all O-rings and gas-
kets. Coat all sealing surfaces with approved wax-
free refrigerant oil. Then, reverse the above
procedures.
(2) Evacuate and recharge system.
REAR HEATER A/C AIR OUTLETS
REMOVAL
Separate barrel from bezel by pulling outward.
INSTALLATION
For installation, push the outlet firmly into the
opening until it locks into place.
REAR HEATER-A/C AUXILIARY CONDENSER
If vehicle is equipped with a 3.3L or 3.8L engine
with rear heater and air conditioning, it will be
equipped with an auxiliary condenser. The auxiliarycondenser is mounted on the primary condenser in
front of the radiator. Both condenser must be
removed as an assembly and then separated.
WARNING: THE REFRIGERATION SYSTEM MUST
BE COMPLETELY EMPTY BEFORE PROCEEDING
WITH THIS OPERATION.
NOTE: Special effort must be used to keep all
R-134a system components moisture-free. Moisture
in the oil is very difficult to remove and will cause a
reliability problem with the compressor.
The condenser assembly must first be removed
from vehicle. Refer to CONDENSER ASSEMBLY
removal and installation in this section for service
procedures.
REMOVAL
(1) After condenser assembly removal, place on
bench for disassembly.
(2) Remove (1) bolt to liquid line on auxiliary con-
denser.
(3) Remove (4) attaching bolts and separate auxil-
iary from primary condenser. (Fig. 15)
INSTALLATION
(1) Before installation, replace all O-rings and gas-
kets. Coat all sealing surfaces with approved wax-
free refrigerant oil. Then, reverse the above
procedures.
(2) Evacuate and recharge system.

NOTE: If the heater core was emptied and was not
prefilled, it is necessary to thermal cycle the vehicle
TWICE. The heater core is positioned higher than
the radiator fill cap. Therefore the heater core will
not gravity fill to level. To thermal cycle the vehicle,
it must be operated till the thermostat opens, then
turned off and allowed to cool. In order to verify
that the auxiliary unit is filled completely, the follow-
ing procedure can be used:
²Vehicle at room temperature.
²Engine is brought up to operating temperature.
²Front unit is OFF, temperature slides are at full
HEAT position.
²Engine is at idle.
²With rear blower motor ON HIGH.
²Discharge air temperature, measured at the
dual register located on the C-pillar base, is between
135É and 145É F.
REAR HEATER CORE
REMOVAL
(1) Remove the lower right quarter trim panel.
Refer to Group 23, Body.
(2) Isolate and disconnect lines from heater core
(Fig. 27).
(3) Remove heater core retaining screws.
(4) Carefully pull the heater core and tubes up and
straight out of the unit.
INSTALLATION
For installation, reverse the above procedures. Pre-
fill the heater core (Fig. 26). Test for leaks and over-
all performance.

REMOVAL
NOTE: Review Safety Precautions and Warnings
before proceeding with this operation.
(1) Partially drain engine cooling system. Refer to
Group 7, Engine Cooling.
