Control Components - Electronic Automatic Temperature Control (EATC): Notes
With the use of a micro-controller, the remote climate control module (18C612) analyzes input from the following major sources:
- Integrated control panel (temperature, air distribution and blower selection)
- in-vehicle temperature
- ambient temperature
- sunload
- vehicle speed
- engine coolant temperature
Using these inputs, the micro-controller determines the correct conditions for the following outputs:
- A/C compressor (19703) operation
- blower speed
- air temperature blend door position
- airflow mode door position
- defroster door position
- air inlet door position
