Climate Control System Network Communication
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The controls for the climate control system are in one or more locations depending on vehicle option content:
- HVAC Module (DATC)
- FDIM (part of APIM), if equipped with Sony® sound
On vehicles with Sony® Sound the touch screen and voice commands can be used for climate control inputs.
On vehicles without Sony® Sound the customer inputs are directly inputted in to the HVAC Module (DATC).
When A/C is selected, the HVAC module sends the request to the BCM over the MS-CAN. The BCM then sends the request to the PCM over the HS-CAN.
