STANDARD PROCEDURE - POWER STEERING
FLUID LEVEL CHECKING
WARNING: FLUID LEVEL SHOULD BE CHECKED
WITH THE ENGINE OFF TO PREVENT INJURY
FROM MOVING PARTS.
The fluid level can be read on the exterior of the
power steering fluid reservoir. The fluid level should
be within the ªFILL RANGEº when the fluid is at
normal ambient temperature, approximately 21ÉC to
27ÉC (70ÉF to 80ÉF) (Fig. 15).
Before removing the power steering filler cap, wipe
the reservoir filler cap free of dirt and debris. Do not
overfill the power steering system. Use onlyMopart
Power Steering Fluid (MS-5931)or quivalent.
FLUID COOLER
DESCRIPTION
All models of this vehicle are equipped with a
cooler for the power steering system fluid. The power
steering fluid cooler is located on the front suspen-
sion cradle crossmember reinforcement (Fig. 16).
There are two different size coolers offered depending
on options. There is a standard 6-inch and an 8-inch
for vehicles equipped with the heavy duty cooling
package.
OPERATION
The purpose of the power steering fluid cooler is to
keep the temperature of the power steering system
fluid from rising to a level that would affect the per-
formance of the power steering system.

REMOVAL
The temperature of the vehicle should be at least
21É C (70É F) before removing the stationary quarter/
sliding door glass. Butyl sealer becomes more pliable
at high temperatures.
(1) Remove interior trim as necessary to gain
access attaching locations on back of glass.
(2) Remove nuts holding stationary glass to fence.
(3) Using razor knife, cut butyl sealer holding
glass to fence from between the mounting studs (Fig.
4).
(4) Push glass from opening.
INSTALLATION
The temperature of the vehicle should be at least
21É C (70É F) before removing the stationary quarter/
sliding door glass. Butyl sealer becomes more pliable
at high temperatures.
The stationary glass fence should be cleaned of all
old butyl sealer.
(1) Applya6mm(0.25 in.) butyl tape around
perimeter of glass assembly encapsulation track.
Ensure that the butyl tape is wrapped around the
mounting studs.
(2) Place the glass into the opening and insert
mounting studs through holes in fence.
(3) Install nuts to hold stationary glass to fence.
CAUTION: Tighten nuts to 3.4 N´m (30 in. lbs.)
torque in the sequence indicated. Do not over
torque, or glass breakage may result (Fig. 4).

peratures it monitors. The heater-A/C control module
is connected to the sensor through a sensor ground
circuit and a sensor signal circuit. As the evaporator
temperature increases, the resistance of the sensor
decreases and the voltage monitored by the module
decreases. The module uses this monitored voltage
reading to an indication of the evaporator tempera-
ture. The heater-A/C control module is programmed
to respond to this input by sending electronic mes-
sages to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over
the Programmable Communications Interface (PCI)
data bus, and the PCM then cycles the air condition-
ing compressor clutch as necessary to optimize air
conditioning system performance and to protect the
system from evaporator freezing. The external loca-
tion of the sensor and the use of a push-in plastic
retainer allows the sensor to be removed or installed
from the expansion valve without disturbing the
refrigerant in the system. The evaporator tempera-
ture sensor is diagnosed using a DRBIIItscan tool.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the air cleaner housing from the right
side of the engine compartment.
(3) Remove the windshield wiper assembly from
the vehicle (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/WIPERS/
WASHERS/WIPER MODULE - REMOVAL).
(4) Remove the temperature sensor attaching
screw from the expansion valve.
(5) Pull the evaporator temperature sensor away
from the expansion valve far enough to access the
red release ring on the wiring connector. Push the
red ring toward the connector to release lock and
remove the HVAC wire harness connector from the
temperature sensor.
(6) Remove the evaporator temperature sensor
from the engine compartment. Please note that any
grease removed with the old temperature sensor
must be replaced, failure to do so could result in poor
a/c performance.
INSTALLATION
(1) Position the evaporator temperature sensor
into the right rear corner of the engine compartment.
(2) Reconnect the HVAC wire harness connector
for the evaporator temperature sensor to the sensor
connector receptacle.
(3) Position the evaporator temperature sensor
onto the top of the expansion valve with the sensor
probe inserted into the well in the expansion valve
(Fig. 19).
(4) Install the temperature sensor retaining screw
and tighten.(5) Install the window wiper assembly to the vehi-
cle (REFER to 8 - ELECTRICAL/WIPERS/WASH-
ERS/WIPER MODULE - INSTALLATION).
(6) Reinstall the air cleaner housing into the right
side of the engine compartment.
(7) Reconnect the battery negative cable.
INFRARED TEMPERATURE
SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The infrared temperature sensor consists of two
infrared transducers that are concealed behind a
clear lens located near the bottom of the center panel
outlet near the top of the instrument panel center
bezel (Fig. 20). These sensors are used only on mod-
els equipped with the optional Automatic Tempera-
ture Control (ATC) heating and air conditioning
system. A molded plastic connector receptacle on the
bottom of the panel outlet unit is concealed behind
the center bezel. A short, dedicated jumper wire har-
ness routed behind the center bezel connects the sen-
sors directly to the ATC heater-A/C control module
near the bottom of the center bezel. The infrared
temperature sensor is integral to the center bezel
panel outlet unit. The infrared sensors cannot be
adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the
center bezel panel outlet unit must be replaced.

OPERATION
The engines use Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)
systems. The EGR system reduces oxides of nitrogen
(NOx) in engine exhaust and helps prevent detona-
tion (engine knock). Under normal operating condi-tions, engine cylinder temperature can reach more
than 3000ÉF. Formation of NOx increases proportion-
ally with combustion temperature. To reduce the
emission of these oxides, the cylinder temperature
must be lowered. The system allows a predetermined
amount of hot exhaust gas to recirculate and dilute
the incoming air/fuel mixture. The diluted air/fuel
mixture reduces peak flame temperature during com-
bustion.
