HVAC control module
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford Focus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When the customer presses the A/C button on the HVAC controls, the HVAC control module uses a dedicated wire to send the A/C request message to the BCM. The BCM sends the A/C request through the HS-CAN to the PCM. The PCM controls the A/C clutch relay.
