Load Shed Behavior

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Under certain circumstances, the vehicle can enter an engine running load shed mode. When this condition occurs, the blower motor in the EATC system behaves in the following manor:

If the blower motor speed setting is greater than 50%, the speed automatically is reduced to 50% of the maximum setting.
If the blower motor speed setting is equal to or less than 50%, the speed automatically is reduced to the next lowest level.
If the blower motor speed setting is set to it's lowest setting, it remains in the lowest setting.

For information on when the vehicle can enter an engine running load shed mode, refer to CHARGING SYSTEM .
