Anyobstructions in front of the radiator or A/C condenserwill reduce the performance of the A/C and enginecooling systems.The engine cooling system includes the radiator,thermostat, radiator hoses and the engine coolantpump. Refer to 7 - Cooling for more informationbefore opening or attempting any service to theengine cooling system.All vehicles are equipped with a common ventila-tion housing (Fig. 1) located in the engine compart-ment which includes:• Blower motor• Blower motor resistor block• Recirculation door and actuatorAll vehicles are also equipped with a commonheater housing (Fig. 2) mounted under the instru-ment panel which includes:• Heater core• Evaporator core• Evaporator temperature sensor• Expansion valve• Air outlet temperature sensor• Mode doorsFig. 1 Ventilation Housing1 - NUT (5)2 - WASHER (5)3 - VENTILATION HOUSING4 - HOUSING COVERVA HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING 24 - 1
