Self-Adjustment Of the Shutter Motor End Position

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Volvo C70, 2001 Volvo C70, 2000 Volvo C70, 1999 Volvo C70, and 1998 Volvo C70. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Self-adjustment must be carried out if the control module or damper motor is replaced or the damper motor or its linkage has been removed. A new control module will cause the green indicator LED on the air conditioning (A/C) switch to flash until self-adjustment has been carried out. The green LED on the air conditioning (A/C) switch will flash until the self-adjustment of a new control module has been carried out. When self-adjusting has been correctly completed, the green indicator LED will stop flashing.

HINT: During self-adjustment the control module runs the damper motors to their limit positions. The control module then stores the value returned from the position sensor for the damper motor. The control module is then able to operate the motor between the limit positions during normal operation.
