LESSON 1: VEHICLE OVERVIEW 1-17 INTERFACE ADAPTER ASSEMBLY (IAA) Interface Adapter Assembly (IAA) • The interface adapter assembly (IAA) is located on the bulkhead under the instrument panel, the same location as the gasoline- powered Ranger EEC-V module. • The IAA is a low voltage multi-function module that manages the climate control system, the auxiliary systems and most instrument cluster gauges and lamps. • The IAA is networked with the TIM and the BCM to support instrument cluster functions, contactor box operations, and diagnostics. • The IAA diagnostics are accessible through the OBD-II diagnostic connector under the instrument panel next to the steering column. • Diagnostic functions as well as parameter identification (PID) data and active command modes are available. • Based on operator and vehicle demands, the IAA controls these functions: – High voltage A/C compressor (optional). – High voltage positive temperature coefficient (PTC) heater. – Air distribution blend door and climate control blower fan motor. – Power steering. – DC/DC converter. – Vacuum pump. – Liquid cooling system coolant pump and two-speed radiator fan. – Instrument cluster operation. |
