GENERAL MOTORS BODY/MODEL DESIGNATIONS
| WARNING | To avoid accidental air bag deployment, see AIR BAG DEACTIVATION under SERVICING PRECAUTIONS in this article. |
Scheme 1
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
System is a blend-air type in which outside air is heated and then mixed with cooler outside air to attain desired temperature. System consists of blower and air inlet assembly, heater air distributor assembly and heater control (panel) assembly.
Heating components are attached to firewall on right side of vehicle. Blower motor, air inlet assembly and coolant hoses are located on engine side of firewall. Heater core and distributor duct are on passenger side. Since system has no heater control valve, coolant circulation keeps heater core hot at all times. Air passing through core receives maximum heat.
Operation of blower motor is controlled by fan switch. Motor is connected in series with fan switch and blower resistor assembly. A 25-amp fuse is provided to protect blower circuit operation. Heater control panel includes 2 sliding levers and a blower speed switch. Levers actuate cables that control heater mode and discharge air temperature.
VENT-HEATER-DEFROSTER LEVER OPERATION
This controls position of defroster door and vent-air door. In VENT position, blower is on (on some models) and incoming air is directed up through instrument panel. As lever is moved toward HEATER position, vent-air door closes, directing air into distributor assembly.
In HEATER position, defroster door directs most air to floor outlets with a small amount directed to dash registers. In DEF (defrost) position, air is directed to defroster outlets with a small amount directed to floor outlets. Moving lever part way will split air between defroster outlets and heater outlets.
TEMPERATURE LEVER OPERATION
Controls position of temperature door in heater distributor. Incoming air is directed around heater core in COLD position or through heater core in HOT position. Desired outlet temperature is obtained by blending heated and unheated air through adjustment of temperature lever.
FAN SWITCH OPERATION
Several types of fan switches are used. On models with a switch that has LO, MED and HI positions, fan operates at any time ignition is on. Some models have a variable position switch that has OFF and HI positions and intermediate positions marked with dots. Other models have a variable fan switch, with fan speed increasing as lever is pushed up from OFF toward HI position.
VENTILATION SYSTEM OPERATION
Continuous ventilation is provided when mode lever is in VENT position. Vehicle movement may create airflow through inside of car even when fan is off.
AIR BAG DEACTIVATION
| WARNING | Diagnostic Energy Reserve Module (DERM) maintains sufficient voltage to cause air bag deployment up to 10 MINUTES after ignition switch is turned off and battery disconnected. Service procedures require disconnection of inflator module from deployment loop to avoid accidental deployment. |
DISABLING SYSTEM
Turn ignition OFF and remove air bag fuse No. 3. in Electrical Convenience Center. Remove left sound insulator. Remove Connector Position Assurance (CPA) and disconnect Yellow 2-way air bag harness connector at base of steering column. (Scheme 2)
Scheme 2
AIR BAG SYSTEM FUNCTIONAL CHECK
Reconnect Yellow 2-way harness connector at base of steering column and install CPA. Install sound insulator and air bag fuse No. 3. Turn ignition switch to RUN and ensure INFLATABLE RESTRAINT light flashes 7-9 times and then goes out. If INFLATABLE RESTRAINT light operates other than described, air bag system is malfunctioning and needs repair.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Note. See appropriate TROUBLE SHOOTING article.
