Output Control | Description |
|---|---|
A/C Request | This command allows you to turn the A/C Relay On and Off. When the A/C Relay is commanded On, the A/C compressor clutch should be engaged. |
Air Inlet Door | When Outside is selected, the HVAC control module commands the recirculation actuator toward the outside air position. When Recirc is selected, the HVAC control module commands the recirculation actuator toward the recirculation position. This is shown through a command of On and Off. |
Blower Motor | When ON is selected, the HVAC control module commands the blower motor relay ON and a command to increase or decrease air. When OFF is selected, the HVAC control module commands the blower motor relay OFF. |
Inside Air Temp. Sensor Fan | When you select OFF, the HVAC control module commands the inside air temperature fan OFF. The fan remains OFF until you select ON. The normal state of the inside air temperature fan is ON. |
Instant OAT Update | This command updates the outside air temperature. |
Left Temp. Door Position | This commands the right temperature door position from Cold to Hot. |
Mode 1 Door Position | When you select ON, the HVAC control module commands the mode actuator toward the maximum door position. The actuator moves the door to the panel position. When you select OFF, the HVAC control module commands the mode actuator toward the minimum door position. The actuator moves the door to the floor position. |
Mode 2 Door Position | When you select ON, the HVAC control module commands the defroster actuator toward the maximum door position. The actuator moves the door to the defrost position. When you select OFF, the HVAC control module commands the defroster actuator toward the minimum door position. The actuator moves the door in the opposite direction of the defrost position. |
Power Down Now | This output control lets you shutdown the HVAC module. |
Recalibrate All Motors | When ON is selected, all air temp and mode actuators have the capability to perform a recalibration. |
Right Temp. Door Position | This commands the right temperature door position from Cold to Hot. |
