HEATER CORE
DESCRIPTION
The rear heater core is located near the front of
the rear HVAC housing, behind the right rear wheel
house. It is a heat exchanger made of rows of tubes
and fins. One end of the core is fitted with a molded
plastic tank that includes integral heater core inlet
and outlet nipples. The rear heater core can be ser-
viced without removing the rear HVAC housing from
the vehicle.
OPERATION
Engine coolant is circulated through underbody
heater hoses to the rear heater core at all times. As
the coolant flows through the rear 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
rear blend door allows control of the rear heater out-
put air temperature by controlling how much of the
air flowing through the rear HVAC housing is
directed through the heater core.
The rear heater core cannot be repaired and, if
faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
STANDARD PROCEDURE
REAR HEATER CORE FILLING
In its final installed position, the rear heater core
is positioned higher than the radiator fill cap. There-
fore, when the cooling system is drained and refilled,
gravity will not refill the heater core with coolant to
the proper level. This may result in two problems:1.
Insufficient coolant level in the engine cooling sys-
tem, which may result in engine overheating.2.Air
entrapped within the rear heater core, which may
result in insufficient rear heater performance. There
are two methods that may be employed to prevent
these problems:1.Pre-filling of the rear heater core.
2.Thermal cycling of the engine cooling system. Fol-lowing are descriptions of both prevention methods,
as well as a method to verify rear heater perfor-
mance.
WARNING: REFER TO THE APPLICABLE WARN-
INGS AND CAUTIONS FOR THIS SYSTEM BEFORE
PERFORMING THE FOLLOWING OPERATION (Refer
to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMBING
FRONT - WARNING - HEATER PLUMBING).
PRE-FILLING
If the rear heater core or the rear HVAC housing
have been removed from the vehicle for service, the
rear heater core may be pre-filled with the proper
engine coolant mixture prior to reconnecting the
heater hoses to the heater core hose fittings.
(1) The heater core should be installed in the rear
HVAC housing, and the rear HVAC housing should
be installed in the vehicle.
(2) Take the proper precautions to protect the car-
peting below the rear heater core from spilled engine
coolant and have absorbent toweling readily avail-
able to mop up any spills.
(3) Insert the small end of an appropriate funnel
into the upper hose fitting of the heater core (Fig. 4).
(4) Carefully pour the proper pre-mixed engine
coolant solution into the rear heater core through a
funnel until coolant begins to appear at the lower
hose fitting of the heater core.
(5) Use absorbent toweling to clean up any engine
coolant spills from the preceding operation.
(6) Reconnect the heater hoses to the rear heater
core (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITION-
ING/PLUMBING - REAR/HEATER HOSE - INSTAL-
LATION).

(7) Refill the engine cooling system (Refer to 7 -
COOLING - STANDARD PROCEDURE - COOLING
SYSTEM REFILL).
THERMAL CYCLING
If the rear heater core was emptied and was not
pre-filled, it will be necessary to thermal cycle the
vehicle at least two times to ensure that the rear
heater core is properly filled.
(1) Refill the engine cooling system (Refer to 7 -
COOLING - STANDARD PROCEDURE - COOLING
SYSTEM REFILL).
(2) Start the engine and allow it to operate until
the thermostat opens.
(3) Turn the engine off and allow it to cool.
(4) With the engine cold and not running, check
and top off the engine coolant level as necessary
(Refer to 7 - COOLING - STANDARD PROCEDURE
- COOLANT LEVEL CHECK) and (Refer to 7 -
COOLING - STANDARD PROCEDURE - COOLANT
- ADDING).
(5) Start the engine and allow it to operate until
the thermostat opens again.
(6) Turn the engine off and allow it to cool down
again.
(7) With the engine cold and not running, check
and top off the engine coolant level as necessary
(Refer to 7 - COOLING - STANDARD PROCEDURE
- COOLANT LEVEL CHECK) and (Refer to 7 -
COOLING - STANDARD PROCEDURE - COOLANT
- ADDING).
(8) Check the performance of the rear heater.
Refer to REAR HEATER PERFORMANCE CHECK.
REAR HEATER PERFORMANCE CHECK
Successful completion of the rear heater perfor-
mance check will confirm that the rear heater core is
properly filled with engine coolant. If the check is not
successful, either there is still air trapped in the rear
heater core or the rear heater plumbing is restricted.
This check should be performed with the vehicle in a
shop where the ambient temperature is about 21É C
(70É F).
(1) Start the engine and allow it to idle until it
warms up to normal operating temperature.
(2) Adjust the heater-A/C controls so that the front
heater is turned Off, the rear heater is set for full
Heat, and the rear blower motor is at its highest
speed setting.
(3) Use an accurate test thermometer to measure
the temperature of the air being discharged from the
rear heater outlet located at the base of the right
C-pillar.
(4) Proper discharge air temperature readings
should be from 57É to 63É C (135É to 145É F).REMOVAL

UNDERBODY LINES
DESCRIPTION
The underbody heater-A/C plumbing is used only
on models with the optional rear heater-A/C system
(Fig. 11). The underbody suction line, liquid line, and
heater tubes can each be serviced separately.
OPERATION
The rear heater and A/C lines are all serviced as
individual components. When disconnecting any lines
or connections, make sure that the area around the
line or connection is clean of any dirt or residue that
may enter and contaminate the rear heating-A/C sys-
tem (Fig. 12) and (Fig. 13).

FUEL DOSING PUMP
DESCRIPTION
The dosing pump is a combined delivery, dosing
and shut-off system for the fuel supply to the supple-
mental cabin heater from the vehicle fuel tank.
OPERATION
The dosing pump is an electrically operated pump
that receives its operation instructions from the sup-
plemental cabin heater control module. The pump
supplies diesel fuel from the vehicle fuel tank to the
cabin heater.
REMOVAL
NOTE: The dosing pump is serviceable without
removing the supplemental cabin heater from the
vehicle.
(1) Disconnect and isolate the negative battery
cable.
CAUTION: Make sure that the hoist is properly posi-
tioned under the vehicle to prevent damage to the
flexible section of the cabin heater exhaust tube.
(2) Raise and support the vehicle.
(3) Disconnect the wiring harness connector to the
dosing pump by depressing the integral spring and
pulling the connector away from the pump.
NOTE: Utilize an approved fuel storage container to
catch any residual fuel that may drain from the
heater fuel hose or the dosing pump.
(4) Remove the clamp that secures the heater fuel
hose to the dosing pump (Fig. 4).
(5) Disconnect the heater fuel hose from the dosing
pump.
NOTE: Position and retain the heater fuel line to
prevent fuel leakage from the cabin heater unit
while servicing the dosing pump.
(6) Disconnect the fuel line between the dosing
pump and the cabin heater unit.
NOTE: Have an approved fuel storage container
ready to catch any residual fuel that may drain from
the fuel line or the cabin heater unit.(7) Remove the dosing pump from the rubber iso-
lator and the vehicle.
INSTALLATION
(1) Position the dosing pump to the vehicle and
onto the rubber isolator.
(2) Connect the fuel line between the dosing pump
and the cabin heater unit.
NOTE: The connectors should point towards the
cabin heater fuel line.
(3) Connect the heater fuel hose to the dosing
pump.
(4) Install the clamp that secures the heater fuel
hose to the dosing pump. Tighten the clamp securely.
(5) Connect the wire harness connector to the dos-
ing pump by depressing the integral spring and
pushing the connector toward the pump. Verify con-
nector installation.
(6) Lower the vehicle
(7) Reconnect the negative battery cable.
(8) Verify function of the supplemental cabin
heater.
