HVAC Module - With Touchscreen System
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Vehicles equipped with the touchscreen EATC dual zone system use a remote HVAC module that is separate from the control interface. The FDIM provides the touchscreen interface for the vehicle occupants to control the climate control system. When selections are made, the FCIM communicates the selections to the HVAC module over the MS-CAN. The remote HVAC module controls the climate control system based on the FDIM selections, or automatically controls the climate control system in the AUTO mode.
The remote HVAC module is located at the top center of the instrument panel and can be accessed through the upper instrument panel storage tray opening with the tray removed.
