engine CHRYSLER VOYAGER 2002 Service Manual

The blower motor relay terminals are connected to
the vehicle electrical system through a receptacle in
the Intelligent Power Module (IPM). The inputs and
outputs of the compressor clutch 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 rear 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. The
wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, further details
on wire harness routing and retention, as well as
pin-out and location views for the various wire har-
ness connectors, splices, and grounds.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BLOWER MOTOR
RELAY
The rear blower motor relay (Fig. 6) is located in
the Intelligent Power Module (IPM), which is in the
engine compartment near the battery. See the fuse
and relay layout map molded into the inner surface
of the IPM cover for rear blower motor relay identi-
fication and location. Remove the relay from the IPM
to perform the following tests:
(1) A relay in the de-energized position should
have continuity between terminals 87A and 30, and
no continuity between terminals 87 and 30. If OK, go
to Step 2. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(2) Resistance between terminals 85 and 86 (elec-
tromagnet) should be 75   5 ohms. If OK, go to Step
3. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(3) Connect a battery to terminals 85 and 86.
There should now be continuity between terminals
30 and 87, and no continuity between terminals 87A
and 30. If OK, use a DRBIIItscan tool to perform
further diagnosis of the relay circuits. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information. If not OK,
replace the faulty relay.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Unlatch and remove the cover from the Intelli-
gent Power Module (IPM) (Fig. 7).

BLOWER MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
The blower motor is a 12-volt, Direct Current (DC)
motor with a squirrel cage-type blower wheel that is
secured to the blower motor shaft (Fig. 7). The
blower motor and wheel are located near the passen-
ger side end of the heater-A/C unit within the two
halves of the intake air housing in the passenger
compartment below the instrument panel. The
blower motor and blower motor wheel are a factory
balanced unit and cannot be adjusted or repaired. If
faulty or damaged, the blower motor and blower
wheel must be replaced as a unit.
OPERATION
The blower motor will operate whenever the igni-
tion switch is in the On position and the heater-A/C
control power is turned on. The blower motor can
only be turned off by turning off the power at the
heater-A/C control. The blower motor receives battery
current whenever the front blower motor relay is
energized. The front blower motor relay output cir-
cuit is protected by a fuse in the Intelligent Power
Module (IPM) located in the engine compartment
near the battery. In the Manual system, the blower
motor speed is controlled by regulating the path to
ground through the blower control switch and the
blower motor resistor. In the ATC system, the blower
motor speed is controlled by an electronic blower
power module, which uses a pulse width modulated
input from the ATC module and feedback from the
blower motor to regulate the blower motor ground

is not in the Off position. The blower motor can only
be turned off by turning off the rear system at the
front heater-A/C control. The blower motor receives
battery current whenever the rear blower motor
relay is energized. The rear blower motor relay out-
put circuit is protected by a fuse in the Intelligent
Power Module (IPM) located in the engine compart-
ment near the battery. In the MTC system, the
blower motor speed is controlled by regulating the
path to ground through the blower control switch and
the blower motor resistor. In the ATC system, the
blower motor speed is controlled by an electronic
blower power module, which uses a pulse width mod-
ulated input from the ATC module and feedback from
the blower motor to regulate the blower motor
ground path it provides. The blower motor and wheel
are used to control the velocity of air moving through
the rear heater-A/C unit housing. The blower motor
controls the velocity of the air flowing through the
rear heater-A/C housing by spinning the blower
wheel within the housing at the selected speed or, in
the ATC system, at the selected or programmed
speed.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BLOWER MOTOR
BLOWER MOTOR INOPERATIVE
(1) Check the fuse (Fuse 12 - 25 ampere) in the
Intelligent Power Module (IPM). If OK, go to Step 2.
If not OK, repair the shorted circuit or component as
required and replace the faulty fuse.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the On position. Be
certain that the rear heater-A/C control power is
turned on. Check for battery voltage at the fuse
(Fuse 12 - 25 ampere) in the IPM. If OK, go to Step
3. If not OK, proceed to diagnosis of the rear blower
motor relay. (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDI-
TIONING/CONTROLS - REAR/BLOWER MOTOR
RELAY - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Disconnect the rear HVAC wire harness connector for
the rear blower motor resistor (Manual Temperature
Control) or the rear blower power module (Automatic
Temperature Control) from the resistor or module
connector receptacle. Reconnect the battery negative
cable. Turn the ignition switch to the On position. Be
certain that the rear heater-A/C control power is
turned on. Check for battery voltage at the fused
rear blower motor relay output circuit cavity of the
rear HVAC wire harness connector for the rear
blower motor resistor (MTC) or the rear blower
power module (ATC). If OK, go to Step 4. If not OK,
repair the open fused front blower motor relay output
circuit to the IPM as required.(4) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Disconnect the rear blower motor pigtail wire connec-
tor from the take out and connector of the rear
HVAC wire harness (MTC) or the connector recepta-
cle of the rear blower power module (ATC). Use
jumper wires to connect a battery and ground feeds
to the blower motor pigtail wire connector. The
blower motor should operate. If OK with MTC, pro-
ceed to diagnosis of the rear blower motor resistor.
(Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/
CONTROLS - REAR/BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). If OK with ATC, use a
DRBIII scan tool to diagnose the rear blower power
module. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic informa-
tion. If not OK with MTC or ATC, replace the faulty
rear blower motor.
