The following firmware version information is available:

CTRL - Control Panel Version

ECU - ECU Version

Exiting the Diagnostic Mode:

To exit the advanced diagnostic mode or firmware Version mode, turn the system OFF by pressing the OFF key.

Additional Troubleshooting:

No Display

Turn on control panel with the ON key.

Check to see if the display Illuminates.

Verify that the control panel is plugged into the wire harness.

Check to see if wire harness is wired into vehicle properly.

No Fan

Turn up fan with the fan UP key.

Make sure that the fan is plugged into wire harness, verify all wiring connections.

Verify that the circuit breakers or fuses are intact.

If all other functions work properly, replace ECU.

No Heat

Turn up heat with the Temperature UP key. Use the advanced diagnostics to verify that the water valve is comma

Inspect and verify all wiring connections.

Verify that any coolant shut off valves on the engine are open.

Verify that warm coolant is flowing into the heater core by testing the heater hoses.

Inspect and replace the electronic water valve if necessary.

 Inspect and replace ECU if necessary.

No Cooling

Turn down heat with the Temperature DOWN key and enable the defrost mode. Use the advanced diagnostics to

Verify that the system is fully charged with refrigerant.

Verify that voltage is present at the compressor clutch.

Verify that the correct voltage is present at the clutch relay on the wire harness.

Inspect and verify all wiring connections.

Inspect and replace clutch relay if necessary.

Inspect and replace refrigerant high-pressure and/or low-pressure cut out switches if necessary.

Inspect compressor and clutch assembly and replace clutch if necessary.

The system is not controlling the cab temperature properly

Inspect the cab air temperature sensor.

Verify that the recirculation vent inlet is not obstructed. Inspect and replace recirculation vent air filter if necessar

Inspect and replace recirculation vent air filter, if necessary.

Change the setpoint temperature in small increments.

Verify that the water valve is working properly. Refer "No Heat"(see No Heat).

Verify that the compressor clutch is working properly. Refer "No Cooling".

The evaporator core is icing up and restricting airflow

Inspect the evaporator core probe.

Verify that the probe is making good contact with the evaporator fins and is not loosely inserted.

Reposition the probe and check the core temperature during operation using the advanced diagnostics.

Replace the evaporator core if necessary.
