Electronic Manual Temperature Control (EMTC) System
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lincoln Mark LT and 2007 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The electronic manual temperature control (EMTC) system heats or cools the vehicle depending on the function and temperature selected.
- The function selected on the HVAC - EMTC module determines heating or cooling, air distribution and enables blower motor operation.
- The temperature control setting determines the air temperature.
- The blower motor setting varies the blower motor speed.
- During A/C operation, the system also reduces the relative humidity of the air.
The EMTC system operation is determined by the settings on the HVAC module - EMTC. The EMTC system is composed of the HVAC module - EMTC , 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 request the A/C compressor ON (when the function selector switch is in PANEL, FLOOR/PANEL and FLOOR) when the A/C request switch is pressed. Indicator illuminates when A/C request switch is toggled ON.
- 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 can be toggled ON or OFF in FLOOR/DEFROST and DEFROST. The A/C compressor will operate regardless of indicator status if the outside air temperature is above 2°C (35°F).
- is serviced only with the climate control assembly.
The function selector switch:
- selects airflow direction.
- is serviced only with the climate control assembly.
The temperature selector:
- selects fill WARM and full COOL as well as blended outlet temperatures.
- is serviced only with the climate control assembly.
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 HVAC module - EMTC.
- my be a timed function in FLOOR/DEFROST and DEFROST.
