Digital Climate Control (Climatronic)

General

Climatronic is a dual zone, fully automatic climate control system. The temperature of the interior air supply, fresh air blower speeds and passenger compartment air distribution are regulated automatically. The system features fully digital electronic circuitry and On Board Diagnostic (OBD) capability.

In addition to fully automatic function, air distribution settings and fresh air blower speeds can be selected manually to suit individual needs.

The Climatronic control module -J255- is the heart of the system. It receives input information from the A/C control head -E87- and various electronic components (sensors and switches). This information is processed by the control module in accordance with specified values and provides corresponding output signals that control electrical components (actuators).

The system controls interior air temperature and distribution for front and rear passenger zones. The system continually samples and compares the selected interior air temperature with the actual air temperature measured by the system. Blower speeds, air temperature and distribution are then adjusted and regulated accordingly.
