Climate Control System - Vehicles With: Electronic Automatic Temperature Control (EATC) - Overview: Overview
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Ford Fiesta. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The climate control system consists of the following components:
- A/C compressor
- A/C compressor clutch assembly
- A/C condenser core
- A/C evaporator core
- Receiver/drier
- Connecting refrigerant lines
- Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TXV)
- Heater core and evaporator core housing
- HVAC control module
- IPC
- Ambient air temperature (AAT) sensor
- Evaporator temperature sensor
- Center register air discharge temperature sensor
- Footwell air discharge temperature sensor
- In-vehicle temperature sensor
- Sunload sensor
- Air distribution door actuator
- Air inlet door actuator
- Temperature door actuator
- Blower motor
- Blower motor speed control
The EATC system heats or cools the vehicle interior depending on the HVAC control panel selection.
- The driver may override the automatic mode of operation.
- The control panel selection determines heating or cooling, air distribution and enables blower motor operation.
- The temperature control setting determines the outlet air temperature.
- The fan speed control varies the blower motor speed.
- During A/C operation, the system reduces the relative humidity of the air inside the vehicle.
