W203 Closed Loop Operation with Ignition Off With ignition switched off, the fresh air / recirculated air flap is positioned at 50% opening.
50%
This position allows cabin air to escape when closing the vehicle doors. 50% Reducing the effort needed to close the doors.

Flap Actuator Motors Contains a integral logic printed circuit board.
• All W203, 463, 163, R230 & W211 electric flap motors are identical • All flap actuator motors are connected via a common 3 wire ribbon cable, called the CAN-KLA. • This cable is connected to the pushbutton control module.

Sensor Inputs
31
Ambient Temperature Sensor (B14) Used in conjunction with the 2 interior temperature sensors for improved cabin temperature regulation.
32
In-car Temperature Sensors (N70b1) and (N22b1)
The two in-car temperature sensor values are averaged unless the outside temperature sensor (B14) is reading under 50°F, then only the N70b1 is used for cabin temperature regulation. An open sunroof in this case can cause excessive heating complaints due to cool air swirling around N70b1. C320 - N22b1
C240 - N22b1
33
Dew Point Sensor (B31/2) (C240 & G500) Function:
•
Measures humidity, ambient temperature and calculates dew point value
•
Keeps cabin air from becoming excessively dry
•
These values are used for controlling the A/C compressor output
* C320 uses a multi-function sensor 34
Refrigerant Pressure and Temperature Sensor (B12/2)
•
Refrigerant pressure (B12), and refrigerant temperature (B12/1) have been integrated into 1 sensor
•
Discreet wired to left SAM (N10/1), signal sent via CAN to AAC pushbutton module (N22)
B12/2 is located under the radiator

W203 & 463 Defroster Changes • Defroster outlet temperature is influenced by pushbutton temperature settings
• Amount of air drying (dehumidify) is affected by humidity
• Air is delivered to footwell flaps for up to 30 sec. after engine is started then switched to windshield
• C320 blower operates at 80% output C240 blower operates at full speed Both can be overridden with manual switch 40
