Caution: When you are performing service on or near the SIR components or the SIR wiring, you must disable the SIR system. Refer to Disabling the SIR System. Failure to follow the correct procedure could cause air bag deployment, personal injury, or unnecessary SIR system repairs.

1. Remove the Auxiliary Blower Motor and IP Support Bracket assembly from the vehicle. Refer to Auxiliary Blower Motor Replacement in Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning.
2. Remove the fasteners (1) from the rear HVAC extension duct (2) in order to remove both halves of the extension duct (2) from the rear HVAC assembly.
3. Remove both halves of the extension duct (2) from the rear HVAC assembly.



4. Remove the fasteners (1) which retain the rear HVAC assembly (2) to the center support bracket.



5. Remove the auxiliary blower motor assembly (1) from the IP center support bracket (2).



6. Remove the electrical connector (2) from the rear mode actuator.
7. Remove the three fasteners (1) from the rear mode actuator.



8. Remove the rear mode actuator (1) from the blower motor assembly (2).

1. Position the rear mode actuator (1) in place on the rear blower motor assembly (2).



2. Install the rear mode actuator fasteners (1).

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

Tighten
Tighten the fasteners (1) to 1.4 N·m (12 lb in).

3. Connect the rear mode actuator electrical connector (2).



4. Install the blower motor assembly (1) to the IP center support bracket (2).



5. Install the fasteners (1) that retain the rear HVAC blower motor assembly (2) to the IP center support bracket.

Tighten
Torque fasteners to 2 N·m (18 lb in).




6. Install both halves of the rear extension duct (2) to the rear HVAC assembly.
7. Install the fasteners in order to hold the rear extension duct to the rear HVAC assembly.

Tighten
Torque fasteners to 1.4 N·m (12 lb in).

8. Install the Auxiliary Blower Motor and IP Center Support Bracket assembly into the vehicle. Refer to Auxiliary Blower Motor Replacement in Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning.
9. Recalibrate the actuators. Refer to Body Control Module (BCM) Programming/RPO Configuration in Body Control System.
