Electronic Manual Temperature Control System
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mercury Monterey and 2004 Ford Freestar. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The electronic manual temperature control (EMTC) system operation is determined by the settings on the climate control assembly. The EMTC system is composed of the EMTC module, blower motor resistor, mode door actuator, air inlet door actuator and temperature blend door actuator to control the various functions.
The blower motor switch:
- sets the blower motor speed.
- directs the blower motor path to ground through the blower motor resistor to allow blower motor operation in LO, MED LO and MED HI.
- directs the blower motor path directly to ground, bypassing the blower motor resistor, to allow blower motor operation in HI.
The A/C request switch:
- can command the A/C compressor on when the function selector switch is in PANEL, FLOOR/PANEL, FLOOR/DEFROST and FLOOR when the A/C request switch is pressed. Indicator illuminates when A/C request switch is toggled on.
- is inoperative in MAX A/C, OFF and DEFROST.
- indicator illuminates when the function selector switch is in MAX A/C and cannot be toggled.
- indicator does not illuminate in OFF and cannot be toggled.
- indicator does not illuminate in DEFROST but can be toggled on or off. The A/C compressor will operate regardless of indicator status if the outside air temperature is above 6°C (43°F).
- is serviced only with the climate control assembly.
The function selector switch:
- selects airflow direction.
- is serviced only with the climate control assembly.
The air recirculation button:
- selects either recirculated or outside air source.
- recirculates air in any mode except DEFROST, if requested.
- is disabled in MAX A/C or OFF mode where recirculated air only is used.
- is disabled in DEFROST mode where outside air only is used.
- is serviced only with the climate control assembly.
The auxiliary climate controls:
- select the auxiliary blower motor speed.
- select the auxiliary airflow mode/temperature.
The EMTC module also includes:
- a rear window defrost button refer to BODY SYSTEM - EXTERIOR .
- heated/cooled seat controls refer to SEATING
