Dual Automatic Temperature Control
The dual automatic temperature control (DATC) module analyzes input from the following major sources:
- Temperature, function and blower selection (made by the vehicle occupants)
- In-vehicle temperature
- Ambient temperature
- Sunload
- Vehicle speed
- Engine coolant temperature
Using these inputs, the DATC module determines the correct conditions for the following outputs:
- A/C compressor operation
- Blower speed
- LH side temperature blend door position
- RH side temperature blend door position
- Panel airflow door position
- Floor airflow door position
- Defrost airflow door position
- Air inlet door position
