98 V70 ECC-211 Damper Motor Position Sensor Fault

Post by sleddriver »

From the on-line Chilton Manual:
The climate control module (CCM) incorrectly detects the signal from the temperture damper motor position sensor. The control of the temperature motors stops, the temperature in the passenger compartment cannot be adjusted, the orange LEDs on the control panel flash and the DTC's ECC-211, 212, 231 and 232 may be stored. The DTCs for the position sensors are therefore stored unnecessarily without there actually being a fault. This, in turn, causes an abnormally large number of fault free damper motors to be replaced. Settings in the CCM for these DTCs must be updated. Any updating that is carried out means that the above DTCs are not detected and stored.

Possible Causes: *Faulty detecting of the position control signal.
Anyone dealt with an ECC that won't calibrate/adjust the damper motors, yet the damper motor is OK?
Anyone gone "around & around" with ECC-211 before, as above, replacing several fault free damper motors, to no avail?
Anyone care to elaborate on "CCM incorrectly detects the signal from the TDMPS? In what ways would the CCM incorrectly detect this signal? High? Low?
What "settings" in the CCM that must be "updated"are they talking about? I'm confused on what "settings" are being referred to.

The above fault description seems a bit confusing and cryptic to me. I'm looking for a better explanation.

Thanks in advance!
