IN - CAR TEMPERATURE SEN-
SOR
DESCRIPTION
The in-car temperature sensor measures the actual
air temperature within the passenger compartment.
The in-car temperature sensor is located inside of the
A/C-heater control behind a vented panel (Fig. 20)
and is not a separate serviceable component. The
A/C-heater control must be replaced if there is a fault
relating to the in-car temperature sensor.
OPERATION
Air from the passenger compartment flows over the
thermistor of the in-car temperature sensor. The
thermistor changes resistance with air temperature.
The ATC A/C-heater control measures this resistance
and calculates the temperature of the air. The A/C-
heater control then makes adjustments to maintain
the selected passenger compartment temperature.
The in-car temperature sensor cannot be adjusted
or repaired, and if faulty or damaged, the A/C-heater
control must be replaced (Refer to 24 - HEATING &
AIR CONDITIONING/CONTROLS/A/C HEATER
CONTROL - REMOVAL).
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
IN - CAR TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The in-car temperature sensor is diagnosed by per-
forming the ATC Function Test using the DRBIIIt
scan tool. Refer to Body Diagnostic Procedures. For
circuit descriptions and diagrams, refer to the appro-
priate wiring information.

RECIRCULATION DOOR ACTU-
ATOR
DESCRIPTION
This vehicle uses a two-position vacuum operated
recirculation door actuator to move the recirculation
door (Fig. 23). Vacuum supply to the recirculation
door actuator is controlled by an integral electronic
control solenoid. The recirculation door actuator ismounted on the outboard side of the ventilation
housing above the blower motor in the engine com-
partment.
OPERATION
The recirculation door actuator uses engine vac-
uum, which is controlled by an integral electrical
solenoid. The electrical solenoid is connected to the
A/C-heater control through the vehicle electrical sys-
tem by a dedicated two-wire lead and connector. The
output shaft of the recirculation door actuator is
keyed to a pivot shaft, which is keyed to the recircu-
lation door shaft. The recirculation door actuator can
move the recirculation door in two directions.
The recirculation door actuator is controlled by an
electrical switch that is integral to the A/C-heater
control. When the rotary-type mode control is moved
to the recirculation position, a signal is sent to the
electrical solenoid within the recirculation door
actuator. This signal causes the solenoid to open a
port to engine vacuum which pulls the output shaft
into the actuator, which moves the recirculation-air
door. The actuator is spring loaded so the door moves
to the fresh-air position when no vacuum is supplied
through the electrical solenoid.
The recirculation door actuator can be diagnosed
by performing the ATC Function Test using a
DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to Body Diagnostic Proce-
dures.
The recirculation door actuator cannot be repaired
and, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.

EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE
SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The rear evaporator temperature sensor (Fig. 15) is
used to signal the rear A/C control module to cycle
the rear A/C clutch in order to control rear evapora-
tor temperature. Controlling the evaporator tempera-
ture prevents condensation on the evaporator fins
from freezing and obstructing rear A/C system air
flow.
The rear evaporator temperature sensor consists of
a probe and a switch unit. The probe, which is a Neg-
ative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor in a
capillary tube, is inserted between the rear evapora-
tor coil fins to monitor evaporator temperature. The
switch unit contains internal control logic that mon-
itors the input from the probe in order to switch an
internal transistor that controls the output signal to
the rear A/C control module.
The rear evaporator temperature sensor is located
in the rear A/C evaporator housing.
OPERATION
The rear evaporator temperature sensor signals
the rear A/C control module to cycle the rear A/C
clutch off if the rear evaporator temperature goes
below approximately 1.6É C (35É F). When the tem-
perature reaches above approximately 3.9É C (39É F),
the rear evaporator temperature sensor signals the
rear A/C control module to cycle the rear A/C clutch
back on.
The rear evaporator temperature sensor cannot be
adjusted or repaired. If faulty or damaged, it must be
replaced. Refer to the appropriate wiring information
for complete HVAC wiring diagrams.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the negative battery
cable.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL
DESCRIPTION
The temperature control for the optional rear A/C
system is a thumbwheel-type control mounted in the
switch panel on the instrument panel (Fig. 17). The
rear A/C temperature control allows the selection of
four temperature settings when the rear A/C blower
motor is activated.OPERATION
With the front A/C switch and rear blower motor
activated, the rear A/C output temperature can be
selected by rotating the thumbwheel control upwards
(increase cooling) or downwards (decrease cooling).
Depending on the rear A/C temperature control posi-
tion, a temperature command signal is sent to the

DESCRIPTION
The rear temperature sensor (Fig. 19) provides an
air outlet temperature signal to the rear A/C control
module through a two-wire harness lead and connec-
tor.
The rear temperature sensor is located in the rear
A/C evaporator housing.
OPERATION
The rear A/C temperature sensor is a variable
resistor that operates on a five-volt reference signal
sent to it by the rear A/C control module. The resis-
tance in the sensor changes as air temperature
changes. Based upon the resistance in the sensor, a
specific voltage on the temperature sensor signal cir-
cuit is returned to the rear A/C control module,
which is programmed to correspond to a specific tem-
perature.
The rear A/C temperature sensor cannot be
adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, it
must be replaced.

cable.
(2) Disconnect the wire harness connector from the
rear temperature sensor.
(3) Measure the resistance of the rear temperature
sensor. At ±40É C (±40É F), the sensor resistance
should be approximatley 336 kilohms. At 55É C (131É
F), the sensor resistance is should be approximaytly
25 kilohms. The rear sensor resistance should read
between these two values.
(4) If OK, test and repair the rear temperature
sensor wire harness circuits. Refer to the appropriate
wiring information for rear temperature sensor cir-
cuit descriptions and for complete HVAC wiring dia-
grams. If not OK, replace the faulty temperature
