Dashboard Environment Panel (Including Climate Control Module), Replacing

Dashboard Environment Panel (including Climate Control Module (CCM)), Replacing

Preparations

NOTE: Read off data from the control module before replacing the control module. This is carried out via VADIS/VIDA communication. After replacing the control module, the relevant parameters must be programmed into the new control module.

Replacing dashboard environment panel







- Ignition off.
- Remove the key.

NOTE:
- The key must be removed to ensure that the ignition is not switched on by mistake.
- After the key has been removed: Wait 3 minutes before starting work.







- Remove the pen holder above the gear selector panel.
- Remove the panel (1) above the gear selector:
- Carefully pry off at the back using a weatherstrip tool.
- Remove the two screws (2) on the lower edge of the panel
- Remove the panel (3).

Note: The radio component and the dashboard environment panel are complementary and are mounted at the join with hooked mountings.

Hint: To facilitate removal: Angle the dashboard environment panel outwards so that it is possible to insert a couple of fingers between the center console and the dashboard environment panel.

- Pull the dashboard environment panel downwards at the same angle.
Hint: The dashboard environment panel is correctly secured. Force is required to remove it.

- remove the connectors. Lift out the panel.
- Install in reverse order.

Note: If any of the outer hooks break off, this must be rectified.

Tape the 3.5 mm thick component measuring 20 X 20 mm to the reverse of the dashboard environment panel. Use double-sided adhesive tape.
Fix the other side of the piece with double-sided adhesive tape so that there is a solid anchorage when reinstalling against the center console.

Front panel, replacing







- Release the catches. Pull off the panel
- The panel has double sided adhesive tape. Ensure that any remains of the tape are removed from the black panel.
- Remove the backing from the tape on the panel and press the panel into place.

Finishing
After replacing the control module, the following must be carried out.
- Reprogram the customer programmed data
- Carry out self-adjustment of the damper motor end positions
- Test drive the car. Check that the function of the climate control system is OK
- Then check that no diagnostic trouble codes have been stored during the replacement.

Information about programming the control module, damper motor self-adjustment and reading off diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) can be found under VADIS/VIDA communication.

Dashboard environment panel switches










- Remove the switches.
- Install in reverse order.
