HVAC control module - Remote Mount
Vehicles equipped with the non touch 4.2 inch display and vehicles equipped with the 8 inch touch screen use a remotely mounted HVAC control module that is separate from the control interface. The FCIM or the FDIM provide the interface for the vehicle occupants to control the climate control system. When selections are made, the FCIM communicates the selections to the HVAC control module through the MS-CAN. The remote HVAC control module controls the climate control system based on the FDIM selections, FCIM selections, or automatically controls the climate control system in the AUTO mode.
The remote mount HVAC control module is located at the top center of the instrument panel and is accessed through the upper instrument panel storage tray opening with the tray removed.
