Control System Logic (Non-Hybrid)
The DATC system controls are in one or more locations depending on vehicle option content:
- HVAC control module
- Touchscreen FDIM (part of APIM)
When the FDIM touchscreen or voice commands are used and A/C is selected, the APIM sends the request message over the HS-CAN3 to the GWM. The GWM sends the request to the PCM over the HS-CAN1. The PCM controls the A/C clutch relay. The GWM also sends the request to the HVAC control module over the MS-CAN.
When the customer inputs an A/C request into the HVAC control module, the module sends the request to the GWM over the MS-CAN. The GWM sends the request to the PCM over the HS-CAN1. The PCM controls the A/C clutch relay.
