Normal Operation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Lincoln MKX and 2010 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Under normal operation, when A/C is requested, in the Dual Automatic Temperature Control (DATC) system, a message is sent over the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN) bus from the HVAC module - DATC to the Instrument Cluster (IC), then from the IC through the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) bus to the PCM.
Under normal operation, when A/C is requested, in the Electronic Manual Temperature Control (EMTC) system, voltage is sent to the IC from the HVAC module - EMTC , then a message is sent from the IC through the HS-CAN bus to the PCM.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- PCM
- HVAC module - DATC
- HVAC module - EMTC
