HVAC Module
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The EATC system uses a remote HVAC module that is separate from the control interface. The Front Controls Interface Module (FCIM) provides the 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 Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN). The remote HVAC module controls the climate control system based on the FCIM selections or will automatically control the climate control system in the AUTO mode.
The HVAC module is mounted to the instrument panel support behind the FCIM .
