Evaporator temperature, value (Electronic climate control, Manual climate control)
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2006 Volvo S80, 2005 Volvo S80, 2004 Volvo S80, 2003 Volvo S80, and 2002 Volvo S80. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Measurement range: -40 - 85°C
The climate control module (CCM) calculates the temperature based on the signal from the evaporator temperature sensor.
The value is used to control the air conditioning (A/C) compressor.
In normal operation (engine running and A/C selected) the control module can regulate the compressor in the following way:
- 10°C air conditioning (A/C) compressor on
- 6.5°C air conditioning (A/C) compressor off.
At temperatures below 6°C the compressor is not permitted to operate because of the risk of freezing.
