Max A/C
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Mercury Mariner and 2007 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When MAX A/C is selected:
- The air inlet mode door receives a full vacuum signal, closing off outside air and allowing only recirculated air.
- The defrost air inlet mode door receives a full vacuum signal, while the floor mode door receives no vacuum, closing both doors.
- The panel mode door receives a partial vacuum signal, directing airflow to the driver side, passenger side and center registers.
- The temperature settings can be changed.
- Air is picked up at the recirculation air inlet by the blower motor. With the temperature control set for maximum cold, air flows across the front A/C evaporator core, is diverted past the heater core and is then directed into the passenger compartment through the driver side, passenger side and center registers.
- The PCM enables the A/C compressor only when the gasoline engine is running.
- The blower motor is ON.
