The cabin temperature sensor's value is only included in the calculation at the start for the ACC unit's regulation. The calculated temperatures are then compared with those the driver and passenger set with the ACC unit's temperature knob. The set temperature is corrected slightly with respect to the outside temperature so that the perceived temperature should equal the set temperature.
As soon as a difference occurs, the blended-air temperature must be increased or decreased. The control module turns the air-blending flap in question until the required blended-air temperature is achieved.
Diagnostics |
In the event of open circuit or short circuit diagnostic trouble code B1350 is generated.
Outside temperature when ignition is switched on is used as substitute value followed by mean value of the calculated temperatures at head height for front seat passenger and driver.
