Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Climate Control Assembly (EMTC Module)
The climate control assembly integrates the temperature control, airflow mode selection, A/C request button, recirculated air request button and rear defog switch into a single unit.
The temperature control switch setting determines air temperature. Movement of the temperature display from COOL (blue) to WARM (red) causes a corresponding movement of the temperature blend door and determines the air discharge temperature that the air distribution system will maintain. The temperature control switch is an integral part of the climate control assembly and cannot be separately replaced.
The A/C request button determines A/C compressor operation, except when the function selected is in the OFF, MAX or DEFROST mode. The A/C request button is an integral part of the climate control assembly and cannot be separately replaced.
The recirculated air request button can select recirculated air in any mode except DEFROST, and fresh air in any mode except MAX A/C or OFF.
The rear defog button signals activation of the heated backlight. The rear defog button is an integral part of the climate control assembly and cannot be installed separately.
The EMTC module is not equipped with self-test capabilities.
