HVAC Module
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Ford Taurus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The Electronic Manual Temperature Control (EMTC) 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 through the vehicle module communication network. The remote HVAC module controls the climate control system based on the FCIM selections.
The HVAC module is located under the instrument panel below the Audio Control Module (ACM).
