2. Air Temperature Malfunction 3. Air Distribution Malfunction 4. Auxiliary Air Temperature Malfunction 5. Air Delivery Improper - Auxiliary |
Circuit/System Description |
Stepper motors are used for temperature regulation, air distribution control and recirculation flap control.
With the appropriate switches at the Radio/HVAC control, the desired air temperature flap position, air distribution flap position and recirculation flap position can be put in. The selected values are passed to the HVAC control module via the LIN-Bus. The HVAC control module supplies a 12 V reference voltage to the stepper motors and energizes the 4 stepper motor coils with a pulsed ground signal. The stepper motors put the appropriate flap into the calculated position, in order to reach the put in temperature/position.
Conditions for Running the DTC |
• |
Ignition ON.
|
• |
The HVAC control module is ON.
|
