Calibration Procedure
www.vintageair.com
On Vintage Air Gen IV systems using cable converters or replacement electronic controls, it is necessary to calibrate
the system to your specific control panel. This procedure ensures that the stroke of your control panel levers or
knobs is translated into precise control of the fan speed, temperature blend and mode door position. Please carefully
read and understand these procedures before beginning. The procedure may be repeated as many times as
necessary to get it right.
In preparation for calibration, you will need to attach the supplied white ground jumper wire to a suitable chassis
ground. This jumper wire must be easily connected to the gray programming wire located in the main Gen IV wiring
harness next to the compressor relay. During the calibration procedure, you will connect the white jumper to the
gray program wire, which will “teach” the Gen IV ECU the upper limits of the control levers or knobs. The blower
will momentarily change speeds, signaling that the upper limits have been “learned”. You will move the levers or
knobs to opposite extreme positions of their travel and then disconnect the white jumper. The blower will again
change speeds, signaling that the lower limits have been learned and that the calibration procedure is complete.

indicating completion of the calibration procedure.
6. Confirm proper operation of controls. Repeat
procedure if necessary. When finished, tape
over program wire connector with electrical tape to
prevent accidental contact with chassis ground.

Operation of Controls
www.vintageair.com
On Gen IV systems with three lever/knob controls, the temperature control toggles between heat and A/C
operations. To activate A/C, move the temperature lever/knob all the way to cold and then back it off to the desired
vent temperature. For heat operation, move the temperature lever/knob all the way to hot and then adjust to the
desired vent temperature. The blower will momentarily change speed, each time you toggle between operations, to
indicate the change. NOTE: For proper control panel function, refer to Pages 8 and 9 for calibration
procedure.
Blower Speed
This lever/knob controls
blower speed, from
OFF to HI.
Mode Control
This lever/knob controls
the mode positions,
from DASH to FLOOR
to DEFROST, with a
blend in between.
