The A/C-heater control (1) for the manual temperature control (MTC) single zone heating-A/C system allows one temperature setting for the entire vehicle. All controls are identified by ISO graphic symbols.

The A/C-heater control and integral computer is located in the instrument panel and contains:

  1. a rotary control knob for temperature control of the discharged air (2).
  2. a rotary control knob for recirculation and mode control of the discharged air (3).
  3. a push button rear window defogger on/off control (4). The defogger button contains an LED that illuminates when the rear window defogger system is in operation.
  4. a push button A/C on/off control (5). The Snowflake button contains an LED that illuminates when the A/C system is in operation.
  5. a rotary control knob for fan speed selection and turning the heating-A/C system off (6).

Prior to replacing an A/C-heater control, check for any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to the heating-A/C system and run the calibration procedure to verify that the concern is not a system issue (Refer to HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HEATING AND A/C SYSTEMS)  and to DIAGNOSTIC CODE INDEX for more information.

The A/C-heater control cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
