Function
The switchover valves are integrated into the switchover valve block. Various voltage pulses are required in a certain number and sequence to actuate a valve.
The voltage pulses come from the A/C pushbutton control module.
The electronic circuitry in the switchover valve block recognizes the voltage pulses and actuates the corresponding switchover valves to supply vacuum to the vacuum element in question.
The following vacuum elements are actuated:
- Left defroster nozzle flap vacuum element
- Right defroster nozzle flap vacuum element
- Center nozzle diverter flap vacuum element
- Main air flap vacuum element
- Recirculated air flap vacuum element
- Left center nozzle blend flap vacuum element
