BLOWER MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
The blower motor and blower wheel are located in
the passenger side end of the HVAC housing, below
the glove box module. The blower motor controls the
velocity of the air flowing through the HVAC housing
by spinning a squirrel cage-type blower wheel within
the housing at the selected speed. The blower motor
and blower wheel can be serviced from the passenger
compartment side of the housing.
OPERATION
The blower motor will only operate when the igni-
tion switch is in the On position, and the a/c heater
mode control switch is in any position, except off. The
blower motor circuit is protected by a fuse in the
junction block. On models with the standard manual
temperature control system, the blower motor speed
is controlled by regulating the battery feed through
the blower motor switch and the blower motor resis-
tor. On models with the optional Automatic Zone
Control (AZC) system, the blower motor speed is con-
trolled by using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). The
blower motor controller adjusts the battery feed volt-
age to the blower motor, based upon an input from
the blower motor switch, through the AZC control
module. Pulse width modulation of blower power
allows the blower to operate at any speed from sta-
tionary, to full speed.
The blower motor and blower motor wheel cannot
be repaired, and if faulty or damaged, they must be
replaced. The blower motor and blower wheel are
each serviced separately.

equipped)
²Faulty blower motor controller (if the vehicle is
so equipped)
²Faulty blower motor switch
²Faulty a/c heater mode control switch
²Faulty blower motor.
Possible causes of the blower motor not operating
in all speeds include:
²Faulty fuse
²Faulty blower motor switch
²Faulty blower motor resistor (if the vehicle is so
equipped)
²Faulty blower motor controller (if the vehicle is
so equipped)
²Faulty AZC module (if the vehicle is so
equipped)
²Faulty blower motor circuit wiring or wire har-
ness connections.
VIBRATION
Possible causes of blower motor vibration include:
²Improper blower motor mounting
²Improper blower wheel mounting
²Blower wheel out of balance or bent
²Blower motor faulty.
NOISE
To verify that the blower is the source of the noise,
unplug the blower motor wire harness connector and
operate the HVAC system. If the noise goes away,
possible causes include:
²Foreign material in the HVAC housing
²Improper blower motor mounting
²Improper blower wheel mounting
²Blower motor faulty.

Any kinks or sharp bends in the refrigerant plumb-
ing will reduce the capacity of the entire air condi-
tioning system. Kinks and sharp bends reduce the
flow of refrigerant in the system. A good rule for the
flexible hose refrigerant lines is to keep the radius of
all bends at least ten times the diameter of the hose.
In addition, the flexible hose refrigerant lines should
be routed so they are at least 80 millimeters (3
inches) from the exhaust manifold.
High pressures are produced in the refrigerant sys-
tem when the air conditioning compressor is operat-
ing. Extreme care must be exercised to make sure
that each of the refrigerant system connections is
pressure-tight and leak free. It is a good practice to
inspect all flexible hose refrigerant lines at least once
a year to make sure they are in good condition and
properly routed.
(1) Carefully position the suction line in the vehi-
cle.
(2) Remove the cap or tape and install the suction
line on the compressor. Be certain the sealing o-ring
is well lubricated with PAG oil and free of tears.

(3) Position and install the refrigerant line support
bracket bolt on the cylinder head cap. Torque the bolt

A/C EVAPORATOR
DESCRIPTION
The evaporator coil is located in the HVAC hous-
ing, under the instrument panel. The evaporator coil
is positioned in the HVAC housing so that all air that
enters the housing must pass over the fins of the
evaporator before it is distributed through the sys-
tem ducts and outlets. However, air passing over the
evaporator coil fins will only be conditioned when the
compressor is engaged and circulating refrigerant
through the evaporator coil tubes.
OPERATION
Refrigerant enters the evaporator from the orifice
tube as a low-temperature, low-pressure liquid. As
air flows over the fins of the evaporator, the humidity
in the air condenses on the fins, and the heat from
the air is absorbed by the refrigerant. Heat absorp-
tion causes the refrigerant to boil and vaporize. The
refrigerant becomes a low-pressure gas before it
leaves the evaporator.
The evaporator coil cannot be repaired and, if
faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.

EMISSIONS CONTROL
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION - EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors
many different circuits in the fuel injection, ignition,
emission and engine systems. If the PCM senses a prob-
lem with a monitored circuit often enough to indicate an
actual problem, it stores a Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC) in the PCM's memory. If the code applies to a
non-emissions related component or system, and the
problem is repaired or ceases to exist, the PCM cancels
the code after 40 warm-up cycles. Diagnostic trouble
codes that affect vehicle emissions illuminate the Mal-
function Indicator (check engine) Lamp. Refer to Mal-
function Indicator Lamp in this section.
Certain criteria must be met before the PCM
stores a DTC in memory. The criteria may be a spe-
cific range of engine RPM, engine temperature,
and/or input voltage to the PCM.
The PCM might not store a DTC for a monitored cir-
cuit even though a malfunction has occurred. This may
happen because one of the DTC criteria for the circuit
has not been met.For example
,assume the diagnostic
trouble code criteria requires the PCM to monitor the
circuit only when the engine operates between 750 and
2000 RPM. Suppose the sensor's output circuit shorts to
ground when engine operates above 2400 RPM (result-
ing in 0 volt input to the PCM). Because the condition
happens at an engine speed above the maximum thresh-
old (2000 rpm), the PCM will not store a DTC.
There are several operating conditions for which
the PCM monitors and sets DTC's. Refer to Moni-
tored Systems, Components, and Non-Monitored Cir-
cuits in this section.Technicians must retrieve stored DTC's by connect-
ing the DRB scan tool (or an equivalent scan tool) to
the 16±way data link connector (Fig. 1).
NOTE: Various diagnostic procedures may actually
cause a diagnostic monitor to set a DTC. For
instance, pulling a spark plug wire to perform a
spark test may set the misfire code. When a repair
is completed and verified, connect the DRB scan
tool to the 16±way data link connector to erase all
DTC's and extinguish the MIL (check engine lamp).Fig. 1 Data Link (Diagnostic) Connector Location
