AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING (AAC), FUNCTION - GF83.40-P-0001GI
MODEL 163 as of 1.9.01 with CODE (580a) Automatic air conditioning
Function
The automatic air conditioning (AAC) is equipped with an electronically regulated cooling, heating and
ventilating system and can be summed up by the following list of subfunctions.
Ventilation
The ventilation ensures that there is a sufficient supply of air within the passenger compartment.
Ventilation is achieved with the support of the blower during normal operation, when vehicle is standing
or to increase the air flow. The air is distributed in the passenger compartment using air distribution flaps.
Automatic air conditioning temperature control
The desired temperature is reached or held constant by cooling or heating the air. Precise temperature
control can be achieved by reading in the various temperature sensors.

The residual engine heat utilization system allows the vehicle to be heated even when the ignition is
switched OFF. To do so the system utilizes the residual heat from the engine and guides it via the
blower into the passenger compartment. The heating water circulation pump ensures that the
coolant is properly circulated.
Automatic air conditioning push-button control module
The automatic air conditioning can be operated by the driver using various tip switches. Apart from this
the push-
button control module reads in different sensor signals, processes them and controls components
in the automatic air conditioning.
Rear ventilation control panel
The operator can intervene in the automatic regulation of the rear ventilation through the automatic air
conditioning by using the rear ventilation control panel and adjust it accordingly to suit needs at any
given time. With the aid of the air distribution switch and blower switch the operator can accommodate
his/her own wishes. The correspondingly altered function is then no longer regulated by the automatic air
conditioning.
By pressing the automatic control button the manually initiated settings can be reset and thus regulated
again by the automatic air conditioning.
Regulation of the air quantity and air distribution ensues thus solely by way of the automatic air
conditioning push-button control module.
Heater circuit
Coolant is heated by the engine. Subsequently, the heated coolant is then routed through the heat exchanger,
where the heat is dissipated to the air in the passenger compartment. The heater return line, in which the heating
water circulation pump is located, takes the coolant back to the coolant pump.
The heating water circulation pump ensures that the coolant is properly circulated.
The coolant flows through the heat exchanger permanently.
Depending upon the desired in-car temperature, regulation is conducted over the blending air flaps, which are
operated by the blending air flap actuator motor.
Heater operation with heater booster in vehicles with OM 612.963
In vehicles equipped with direct-injection diesel engines, an electrical heater booster is additionally installed in
the evaporator housing downstream of the heat exchanger, in order to compensate the heater output deficit
which occurs in the case of certain operating conditions.
The 3 heating elements in the heater booster are supplied with current, as a result of which they are heated and
start to glow. As a result of the structural conditions, it is ensured that the drawn in fresh air flows directly past
the electric heater booster, and is therefore heated.

The control module integrated in the AAC push-button control module (N22) looks after all system regulation
and control functions such as:
comparing preselected and actual temperatures and controlling the air temperature at the air outlets
automatic switchover from fresh air to recirculated air mode
electrical control of refrigerant compressor
controlling the auxiliary fan or the electric suction-type fan motor/ air conditioning with integrated
control
The AAC push-button control module (N22) has a diagnostic capability. Consequently, any faults which occur
are stored in the fault memory which can be read with the help of the diagnosis assistant system (DAS).
When the AAC push-button control module is replaced (N22), variant coding must be carried out using the
Diagnosis Assistant System (DAS).
The AAC push-button control module (N22) also performs the following actuations:
direct: refrigerant compressor; heating water circulation pump; PTC heater booster (OM 612 only), rear
window heater
via the CAN BUS: auxiliary fan, electric suction-type fan motor/air conditioning with integrated control,
blower control and air distribution in the rear compartment (automatic mode)
via the AC bus: blower motor; 8 stepping motors for air distribution
The following sensor signals are read in by the AAC push-button control module (N22):
direct: temperature sensor evaporator, pressure and temperature sensor refrigerant, in-car temperature
sensor, center nozzle vent air temperature sensor, footwell and rear passenger compartment, sun sensor
via the CAN BUS: Ambient temperature display temperature sensor, sensor for specified values in rear
control panel
