Electronic Manual Temperature Control (EMTC) System

The electronic manual temperature control (EMTC) system operation is determined by the settings on the climate control module. 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 button:

• 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 module.

The function selector knob:

• selects airflow direction.

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 module.

The temperature selector knob:

• Selects full warm and full cool as well as blended outlet temperatures.

The EMTC module also includes:

• a rear window DEFROST button, refer to GLASS, FRAMES AND MECHANISMS .
