Savana 1/2 Ton Van V8-5.7L VIN R (2001)
Control Assembly: Description and Operation
A/C Mode
Front Auxiliary HVAC Control Assembly Only
The auxiliary temperature switch in the front auxiliary HVAC control assembly allows the driver to adjust the temperature in the rear of the vehicle.
Power is provided to both the front auxiliary HVAC control assembly and the auxiliary air temperature actuator from the IP fuse block on the ignition 3
voltage circuit.
Voltage delivered to the front auxiliary HVAC control assembly on the ignition 3 voltage circuit is sent to a variable resistor. Based on the placement of
the temperature switch, a varied voltage is sent to the auxiliary air temperature actuator on the auxiliary air temperature door control circuit. The
auxiliary air temperature actuator moves the temperature door to the desired output. Ground for the auxiliary air temperature actuator and front auxiliary
HVAC control assembly are provided by the ground circuit.
Front Auxiliary HVAC Control Assembly with Rear Auxiliary HVAC Control Assembly
The auxiliary temperature switch in the front auxiliary HVAC control assembly allows the driver to adjust the temperature in the rear of the vehicle.
Power is provided to both the front auxiliary HVAC control assembly and the auxiliary air temperature actuator from the IP fuse block on the ignition 3
voltage circuit.
Voltage delivered to the front auxiliary HVAC control assembly on the ignition 3 voltage circuit is sent to a variable resistor. Based on the placement of
the temperature switch, a varied voltage is sent to the auxiliary air temperature actuator on the auxiliary air temperature door control circuit, and auxiliary
HVAC control processor. The auxiliary air temperature actuator moves the temperature door to the desired output. Ground for the auxiliary air
temperature actuator, auxiliary HVAC control processor and front auxiliary HVAC control assembly are provided by the ground circuit.
Rear Auxiliary HVAC Control Assembly
The auxiliary temperature switch in the rear auxiliary HVAC control assembly allows the rear seat passengers to adjust the temperature in the rear of the
vehicle. Power is provided to the rear auxiliary HVAC control assembly, auxiliary HVAC control processor and the auxiliary air temperature actuator
from the IP fuse block on the ignition 3 voltage circuit.
To activate the rear auxiliary HVAC control assembly, the front auxiliary HVAC control assembly must be placed in the REAR CNTL position. Ignition
3 voltage is sent to the auxiliary HVAC control processor and through a solenoid. When the switch is placed in the REAR CNTL position, the voltage is
grounded through the auxiliary blower motor switch control, front auxiliary HVAC control assembly and the ground circuit to allow the rear auxiliary
HVAC control assembly to operate the auxiliary temperature actuator.
Voltage delivered to the rear auxiliary HVAC control assembly on the ignition 3 voltage circuit is sent to a variable resistor. Based on the placement of
the temperature switch, a varied voltage is sent to the auxiliary air temperature actuator on the auxiliary air temperature door control circuit, and auxiliary
HVAC control processor. The auxiliary air temperature actuator moves the temperature door to the desired output. Ground for the auxiliary air
temperature actuator, auxiliary HVAC control processor and rear auxiliary HVAC control assembly are provided by the ground circuit.
