DESCRIPTION
The receiver/drier is mounted in a bracket secured
to the right front strut tower in the engine compart-
ment. The receiver/drier is connected between the
front and rear sections of the liquid line between the
condenser outlet and the evaporator inlet. The receiv-
er/drier cannot be repaired. If the receiver/drier is
faulty or damaged, or if the refrigerant system has
been contaminated or left open to the atmosphere for
an indeterminable period or if the A/C compressor
has failed, it must be replaced.
OPERATION
The receiver/drier performs a filtering action to
prevent foreign material in the refrigerant from con-
taminating the expansion valve. Desiccant inside the
receiver/drier canister absorbs any moisture which
may have entered and become trapped within the
refrigerant system. In addition, during periods of
high demand air conditioner operation, the receiver/
drier acts as a reservoir to store surplus refrigerant.
Refrigerant enters the receiver/drier as a high-pres-
sure, low temperature liquid.

CABIN HEATER
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the diesel engine are also
equipped with a supplemental cabin heater. This
cabin heater is mounted under the vehicle and oper-
ates similar to an oil fired furnace. The heater burns
small amounts of fuel to provide additional heat to
the coolant. Coolant is routed from the engine, to the
supplemental cabin heater and then to the front
heater core. This provides additional heat to the pas-
senger compartment. The supplemental cabin heater
system is interfaced to the vehicles on-board com-
puter systems and DRBIIItdiagnostics.
The supplemental cabin heater has an electronic
control module that monitors the heat output of the
heater. The cabin heater operates at full load (5 kW),
half load or idle mode (no additional heat) depending
on engine coolant temperature.
When ambient temperatures are lower than 15É C
(60É F), the supplemental cabin heater automatically
operates once each ignition cycle for five minutes.
This assures a good fuel supply is always present for
the supplemental cabin heater.
OPERATION
MANUAL TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM
The supplemental cabin heater is activated via the
temperature slide control or knob on the A/C-heater
control when equipped with the manual temperature
control (MTC) system. If the slide control or knob is
moved to or above the upper set point the cabin
heater is activated. The cabin heater can operate in a
full or partial load range as well as an idle mode all
dependent on the engine coolant temperature. The
cabin heater will also turn off if the A/C-heater tem-
perature control is lowered to less than the lower set
point. The cabin heater can take up to three minutes
to completely shut down when either the heater tem-
perature is set below the lower set point or the vehi-
cle ignition is shut down.
NOTE: Do not apply a strong vacuum source such
as a garage ventilation system directly on the sup-
plemental cabin heater exhaust line. Too strong of a
vacuum can prevent the supplemental cabin heater
from starting. If required, place the vacuum source
at least 75 mm (3 in.) away from the exhaust line.

The supplemental cabin heater only operates when
the engine is running, the mileage exceeds 8 kilome-
ter (5 mph) and the fuel tank volume exceeds 1/8 of a
tank. The supplemental heater control module moni-
tors blower speed and combustion during its start-up.
The cabin heater should operate if the coolant tem-
perature is below 40É C (104É F).
AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL
SYSTEM
The automatic temperature control (ATC) system
will activate the supplemental cabin heater based on
engine coolant temperature and interior component
settings. The cabin heater can operate in a full or
partial load range as well as an idle mode all depen-
dent on the engine coolant temperature. The cabin
heater will also turn off if the A/C-heater tempera-
ture control is lowered to less than the lower set
point. The cabin heater can take up to three minutes
to completely shut down when either the heater tem-
perature is set below the lower set point or the vehi-
cle ignition is shut down.
NOTE: Do not apply a strong vacuum source such
as a garage ventilation system directly on the sup-
plemental cabin heater exhaust line. Too strong of a
vacuum can prevent the supplemental cabin heater
from starting. If required, place the vacuum source

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
SUPPLEMENTAL CABIN HEATER
Refer to the Symptoms Diagnosis table for basic
checks of the diesel fueled supplemental cabin heater.
SYMPTOMS DIAGNOSIS
Symptom Possible Causes
Smell of diesel fuel. Check cabin heater system integration in vehicle's fuel system. Check
fuel lines for leakage, kinks or obstructions. If OK, Inspect the inlet
muffler, drain as necessary. Re-test the cabin heater and re-inspect.
Inspect the exhaust tube and cabin heater for the presence of external
fuel. If presence of external fuel is observed on the heater unit or in the
exhaust tube or after draining and testing. Remove the cabin heater
from vehicle and repair or replace components as required.
Heater does not achieve full load
operation.Check cabin heater operation with DRBIIITscan tool and replace
components as required.
Continuous white smoke from heater
exhaust during combustion operation.Check cabin heater operation with DRBIIITscan tool and replace
components as required. White smoke is typical in extreme weather
conditions.
Heater can not be switched off. Check cabin heater operation with DRBIIITscan tool and replace
components as required.
Heater does not operate. Diagnosis cabin heater control module using the DRBIIITscan tool and
the procedures listed in Vehicle Performance under Cabin Heater

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.
