Dual Temperature Control, Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) Or Also Called Electronic Climate Control Not Working Correctly

Today’s vehicle electronics are becoming very high-tech with the addition of many new creature comforts. One such feature is dual temperature control, automatic temperature control (ATC) or also called electronic climate control. This feature allows the ability to adjust different temperatures and fan speeds for the driver and passengers. Another word associated with temperature controls is HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) which refers to the technology of indoor or automotive environmental comfort. The most common failure complaints with ATC systems is the mode selection fails or loses its ability to switch airflow which defaults to the defrost setting. This system is very complex, with a specified procedure to determine the particular conditions present. This should be diagnosed by a certified automotive technician and requires the use of a scan tool to check for set DTC’s which may affect HVAC operations when present.

APDTY now offers a line of remanufactured climate control modules. Several concerns have been resolved using these modules. With all modules, one failure that has been redesigned is in the mode selection, which results in the loss of ability to switch airflow and defaults to the defrost setting. On models 600141, 600112 and 600114, the lamp failures have been addressed. Model 600141, a revision to the back-lighting has been done along with an update to the deterioration of o-rings. These remanufactured climate control modules are fully tested, and are plug and play ready for easy installation with no programming required.
