Operation of the heating and ventilation system is controlled by the automatic temperature control (ATC) module. See Control Components .
The system can be operated in automatic or manual mode, with temperature settings selected using the switches on the integrated control panel.
When the engine is running, coolant is constantly circulated through the heater core by the engine coolant pump and the auxiliary coolant pump. Where fitted, the auxiliary coolant pump is energized by the central junction box (CJB) on receipt of medium speed controller area network (CAN) bus signals from the automatic temperature control (ATC) module. The central junction box (CJB) broadcasts auxiliary coolant pump status over the medium speed controller area network (CAN) bus for use by other vehicle systems.
The blower is supplied with power by the blower relay on the rear junction box (RJB) and connected to ground via the blower control module. The blower control module regulates the voltage across the blower motor to control blower speed. The voltage set by the blower control module is controlled by a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal from the automatic temperature control (ATC) module. The automatic temperature control (ATC) module uses a feedback signal from the blower control module to monitor blower speed. See Control Components .
