faults do. This fault will continue in the active state and will continue to block AC operation until it is
cleared. Clear by cycling the ignition switch 4 times (one second on/one second off). If the fault condition
still exists, it will again become active.

Theory of Operation The temperature control system consists of three major components. See
diagram P94-1125.
1. Control Module with built-in temperature sensor and potentiometer.
2. Blower switch.
3. Blend air door actuator.
You can change the potentiometer position in order to change the setpoint
temperature, (between 50° F and 130° F). If the temperature is above the
setpoint, the control module puts out approximately 1 volt. This moves the
blend air door to close off the hot air passage. If the temperature goes
below the setpoint, the control module starts to increase its output volt-
age, opening the door.
Component Troubleshooting
Blend Air Door The blend air door actuator has three circuits:
1. SACT1 – 12V supply for actuator – pin 10 on actuator and pin A on
unit connector.
2. GND – Ground connection – pin 7 on actuator and pin C on unit con-
nector.
3. SACT2 – Control voltage – pin 8 on actuator and pin B on unit con-
nector.
If SACT2 is not connected, the actuator will go to the center of its travel
and stay there. If SACT2 is connected to the 12 volt supply, the blend air
door will open the hot air passage all the way. If SACT2 is connected to
ground, the blend air door will close the hot air passage all the way.
In order to check the function of the temperature sensor, have the ignition
on, but don't run the engine. Turn the blower on low to provide power.
Attach the voltmeter to measure the voltage of wire SACT2. Adjust the
control knob so the voltage is about 6 to 7 volts. Blow gently on the sensor
grill in order to warm the sensor. Watch that the control voltage goes
down, then returns to roughly the original voltage as the sensor cools
back down.
Complaint: Won't 4. After checking the air conditioner compressor and blower operation,
Cool check for power to SACT1 from the blower switch.
4.1. If no power, check connections and blower switch and repair or
replace as necessary, retest system.
4.2. If power is OK, go to step 5.
5. Check ground connection from sleeper harness.
5.1. If no ground, repair connection, retest system.
5.2. If ground is OK, go to step 7.
6. Make sure sleeper temperature is above 65° F. Turn the control knob
full cold (counter-clockwise). Check that SACT2 voltage is below 1.5
volts.
6.1. If not, unplug the control module and check the actuator (see
component check above).
6.1.1. If actuator checks OK, replace control module, retest sys-
tem.
6.1.2. If actuator does not work, remove it from the blend air door
and retest. Replace the defective component and retest
system.
6.2. If voltage is OK, check wiring continuity to actuator.
Complaint: Poor 7. Check to make sure nothing is obstructing air flow to the sensor, (i.e.,
Control hanging clothes, etc.).
7.1. If air flow is OK, check temperature sensor function (see com-
ponent check above).
7.1.1. If sensor is bad, replace module and retest system.
7.1.2. If sensor is OK, check blend air door actuator and replace if
bad. Retest system.
Product Overview The C2TX is an electronic, micro-processor based device that imple-
ments the functions of a blend vent ATC (Automatic Temperature Control)
and APADS (Air Conditioning Protection and Diagnostics System) control
and diagnostic functions. It is specifically designed to reduce air condi-
tioning maintenance costs in vehicular Txv HVAC systems by increasing
the life of system components and aiding in the diagnosis of system
faults. The unit receives inputs from pressure switches, temperature sen-
sors, Control Panel switches/potentiometers, and data available on the
SAE J1587 compatible data bus. The input signals are processed to drive
outputs to the AC clutch coil, fan actuator circuit, blend door actuator and
a Blower Relay. C2TX diagnostic codes are available on the Databus.
With this control system the C2TX controller becomes the only device
through which power is switched to the AC clutch coil. It is the primary
control of the AC and blend temperature system. The module is housed in
an aluminum capsule and installed in the cab unit.
Functional Description The C2TX operates as the primary AC system and cab temperature con-
trol. The module provides outputs to the AC compressor clutch coil, the
fan actuator, the blend air door actuator and a blower relay. All outputs are
a function of the ATC and APADS control algorithms as detailed later in
this section. The controller incorporates its own high current driver elimi-
nating external relays to engage the AC clutch. Fault diagnostic communi-
cation is accomplished through the SAE J1587 databus interface.
The pointed features of the C2TX are that it acts to control the vent outlet
temperature to a fixed value, independent of various system variables
such as initial ambient temperature, blower speed, engine RPM and circu-
lation mode.
The ATC function of the C2TX controls the blend air door actuator to
maintain a target temperature in the blend chamber. This target tempera-
ture is a function of control panel and temperature sensor inputs, primarily
setpoint input and blend temperature.
The ATC function also determines when Air Conditioning is needed. This
control logic requests AC when the desired blend chamber temperature
cannot be achieved without Air Conditioning. AC will always be requested
when the Temperature Set potentiometer is in the full CCW position and
when MODE select is in the defrost position above freezing conditions. It
will also be requested when ambient temperature is within several
degrees of the temperature requested by the Bunk Set temperature knob.
C2TX Output The module produces the following output signals to control the following
Descriptions devices:
1. BLEND Drive – The module provides an output that is ratiometric to
the supply voltage. The output ranges between .15 VIGN (Voltage
Ignition) and .85 VIGN. Nominally the Blend Door is fully closed (max.
cold) when the output signal reaches .80 VIGN. It is fully open at .20
VIGN.
2. AC Clutch (Compressor Clutch Drive) – A low side MOSFET power
driver, with flybac clamping engages the AC compressor clutch coil
when activated.
3. DATABUS+ and DATABUS- (see #7 in Input section).
4. FAN Trigger (Fan actuator) – A normally closed (low level = fan off)
low side, open drain FET is used to signal the fan actuator circuit to
activate the fan drive. A fan “on” state is requested when the FET is in
the non-conducting (off) state.
5. BLOWER Relay – This low side open drain FET is turned on to acti-
vate the blower relay. This signal is output when a minimum signal
level on the Bunk set potentiometer indicates that the Bunk Tempera-
ture Control system is requesting AC. The blower relay forces the
blower to be "on" at low speed. If the Control Panel has requested a
higher speed the Control Panel will prevail.
6. DIAGNOSTICS – Upon detection of system faults, the unit broad-
casts or responds to request for diagnostic information over the data-
bus. The diagnostic information is used to indicate system faults and
status.
Software Description The C2TX software, for purposes of description, can be partitioned into
several distinct modules of functional operation: first, the implementation
and functionality of the ATC: second, the APADS functionality; and third,
communication definition that defines the nature in which the C2TX com-
municates over the J1587/J1708 databus.
The C2TX has non volatile memory for storing statistics and configuration
parameters. Brackets around a variable denote that it is a programmable
value. The nominal value, unless otherwise specified, is contained within
the square brackets [x].
