bus. Temperature control for the heater element is provided by the steering wheel heater control module which receives a
temperature feedback signal from a NTC (negative temperature coefficient) thermistor located within the steering wheel.
ATC Module Component Description
The ATC module is mounted on the outboard end of the air inlet duct, behind the front passenger side of the instrument panel. The ATC module processes inputs from the TSD, the switches on the integrated control panel and the system sensors. In response to these inputs, the ATC module outputs control signals to the A/C system and the heating and ventilation system.
Two electrical connectors provide the interface between the ATC module and the vehicle wiring. The ATC module uses hardwired inputs from the system sensors, the LIN bus to communicate with the stepper motors and the medium speed CAN bus to communicate with other control modules on the vehicle.
A/C Compressor Solenoid Valve
The A/C compressor solenoid valve is integral with the A/C compressor. Operation of the solenoid valve is controlled by the ATC module using a hardwired drive current of differing values. By controlling the flow of refrigerant through the compressor, the
solenoid valve can control the A/C system pressure and the evaporator operating temperature.
Refrigerant Pressure Sensor
The refrigerant pressure sensor provides the ATC module with a pressure input from the high pressure side of the refrigerant system. The refrigerant pressure sensor is located in the refrigerant line between the condenser and the thermostatic
expansion valve.
The ATC module supplies a 5 V reference voltage to the refrigerant pressure sensor and receives a return signal voltage, between 0 V and 5 V, related to system pressure.
The ATC module uses the signal from the pressure sensor to protect the refrigerant system from extremes of pressure. The ATC module transmits the A/C pressure, along with the compressor drive current value, to the instrument cluster on the medium speed CAN bus. These signals are broadcast to the ECM on the high speed CAN bus to allow it to calculate the torque being applied to the engine by the compressor. www.JagDocs.com

pressure:
Decreases to 2.1 ± 0.2 bar (31.5 ± 3 lbf/in²); the ATC module loads the A/C compressor again when the pressure increases to 2.3 ± 0.2 bar (33.4 ± 3 lbf/in²).
Increases to 31 ± 1 bar (450 ± 14.5 lbf/in²); the ATC module loads the A/C compressor again when the pressure decreases to 26 ± 1 bar (377 ± 14.5 lbf/in²).
Evaporator Temperature Sensor
The evaporator temperature sensor is a NTC thermistor that provides the ATC module with a temperature signal from the downstream side of the evaporator. The evaporator temperature sensor is mounted directly onto the evaporator matrix fins.
The ATC module uses the input from the evaporator temperature sensor to control the load of the A/C compressor and thus the operating temperature of the evaporator.

1 LH door mirror 2 Ambient air temperature sensor The ambient air temperature sensor is a NTC thermistor that provides the ATC module with an input of external air temperature. The sensor is hard wired to the ECM and its signal is transmitted to the instrument cluster on the high speed CAN bus. The instrument cluster acts as a gateway and transmits the ambient air temperature signal to the ATC module on the medium speed CAN bus. The sensor is installed in the LH door mirror, and is accessed by removing the mirror glass, cap and actuator.
Sunload Sensor
The sunload sensor consists of two photoelectric cells that provide the ATC module with inputs of light intensity; one as sensed coming from the left of the vehicle and one as sensed coming from the right. The inputs are a measure of the solar
heating effect on vehicle occupants, and are used by the ATC module to adjust blower speed, temperature and distribution to improve comfort.
The sensor is installed in the speaker grill on the upper surface of the instrument panel. Power for the sensor is provided by a
5 V feed from the instrument cluster.
The sensor also contains the active anti-theft alarm indicator.

as nitrous oxides, sulphur oxides and carbon monoxide. The sensor is attached to the center of the upper front crossmember.
The pollution sensor is powered by an ignition controlled voltage feed from the CJB and provides the ATC module with separate signals of hydrocarbon and oxidized gas levels. With a pollution sensor fitted, the ATC module can control the air inlet source to reduce the amount of contaminants entering the passenger compartment. This function is fully automatic, but can be
overridden by manual selection of the air source using the recirculation switch on the integrated control panel.
If there is a fault with the sensor, the ATC module disables automatic operation of the recirculation door.

General System Operation
Operation of the electric booster heater is controlled by the ATC module, which communicates with the micro-controller in the booster heater using the LIN bus. The temperature requested by the ATC module is based on:
The ambient air temperature.
The engine coolant temperature.
The temperatures selected on the integrated control panel.
The blower must be running for the electric booster heater to operate.
If electrical load management is in force, electric booster heater performance is reduced. For additional information, refer to:

Electronic Engine Controls (303-14B Electronic Engine Controls - V6 3.0L Petrol, Description and Operation), Electronic Engine Controls (303-14C, Description and Operation).
Electric Booster Heater Component Description
The electric booster heater is installed in the heater assembly, on the downstream side of the heater core. It consists of
ceramic coated thermistor elements, rated at 1.25 kW, and a micro-controller. Electrical power for the booster heater is
supplied by the BJB via a 150 A megafuse installed under the RH front seat.
