Stratus Sedan V6-2.7L VIN R (2002)
-
0° C°(32° F) Sensor Resistance = 29.33 - 35.99 Kilohms
-
10° C(50° F) Sensor Resistance = 17.99 - 21.81 Kilohms
-
20° C(68° F) Sensor Resistance = 11.37 - 13.61 Kilohms
-
25° C(77° F) Sensor Resistance = 9.12 - 10.86 Kilohms
-
30° C(86° F) Sensor Resistance = 7.37 - 8.75 Kilohms
-
40° C(104° F) Sensor Resistance = 4.90 - 5.75 Kilohms
The sensor resistance should read between these mid max values. If the resistance values are no OK, replace the Sensor.
Door Ajar System
The door ajar and decklid ajar states are used as inputs for the Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM uses these inputs to determine exactly what
position the doors and decklid are in. The DRBIII(R) will display the state of the door ajar and the decklid ajar switches in Input/Outputs. It's important
to note, that when any door, or the decklid is closed, the switch state on the DRBIII(R) will show OPEN. When any door, or the decklid is open the
switch state on the DRBIII(R) will show CLOSED. During diagnosis, if a door or the decklid is closed and the DRBIII(R) displays the switch state as
CLOSED, it indicates a shorted ajar circuit. If the door or the decklid is open and the DRBIII(R) displays the switch state as OPEN, it indicates an open
ajar circuit.
Exterior Lighting System
HEADLAMP DELAY
The headlamp time delay operates when the ignition switch is turned off while the headlamps are still on, and the headlamps are then turned off within 45
seconds after the ignition is off. This will provide a 90-second time delay before turning off the headlamps.
Heating & A/C System
A single-zone HVAC system is available on all JR series vehicles.
MANUAL TEMPERATURE CONTROL
HVAC CONTROL
The HVAC system maintains incoming air temperature, airflow, fan speed, and fresh air intake for the entire vehicle from the instrument panel mounted
AC - Heater Control. The full range of temperature that the system can produce in any mode for the entire vehicle is available by positioning the blend
Control to the desired range.
AIR INTAKE
When the fresh-air door is open, outside air is drawn into the HVAC housing through the cowl opening at the base of the windshield. When the fresh-air
door is closed, recirculated air is drawn in to the HVAC housing from under the instrument panel.
AIR DISTRIBUTION
The HVAC unit has four fully adjustable instrument panel outlets. Side-window demister outlets in the instrument panel eliminate the need for door
ducts and door-to-instrument panel seals. A single, central mounted outlet delivers air for defrosting the windshield. Two ducts, one on each side of the
center console underneath the instrument panel, provide airflow to the driver floor area and the front seat passenger floor area.
A/C-HEATER CONTROL, SWITCH OPERATION
BLOWER SWITCH
The rotary Blower Switch has five positions, Off, Low, M1, M2, and High. Rotating the Blower Switch results in the A/C - Heater Control providing
direct blower motor activation, change in blower speed, and blower motor deactivation respectively. The Blower Switch must be in any of the four on
positions to request A/C, and also to have the A/C - Heater Control send a signal to the Body Control Module to signal the door actuators to change door
position.
MODE SWITCH
The rotary Mode Switch has a total of eight positions. The first three, for A/C request, include Recirc/Bi-level, Panel, and Bi-level. The remaining five
positions, for Heat request, include Panel, Bi-level, Floor, Floor/Defrost, and Defrost. The Floor/Defrost position and the Defrost position also provided
an A/C request.
MODE SWITCH, A/C REQUEST
Provided that the Blower Switch is in any of the four on positions, rotating the Mode Switch to any of the three A/C request positions, the Floor/Defrost
position, or the Defrost position, will result in the A/C - Heater Control sending a signal to the BCM to send a message to the PCM to provide A/C
compressor clutch activation. However, the BCM will only provide this request if EVAP function is found acceptable.
