Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0727570A1] The electronic engine controller (1) incorporates a functional unit (4) detecting any defect in the controller (2) of the air-conditioning system through which the coolant passes. A switching signal (Sv) for the thermostatic valve is generated by a diagnostic driver circuit (3) as a function of inputs from e.g. the air-conditioning control panel. To adjust e.g. the idling speed of the engine while the vehicle is stationary, an air-conditioning command signal (SAC) and a compressor switch-on signal (SKO) are AND-gated. The valve is opened if a fault signal persists pref. beyond a time limit (dt) while the coolant temp. exceeds a predetermined threshold (TKdef).
