The IHKR control module communicates with the DME via the K-Bus/KOMBI/CAN Bus
link to request permission for compressor activation. The control of the compressor
clutch is directly by the IHKA module via a final stage.
 
Rear Window Defroster:The rear window defroster is controlled via a request from
the button on the panel. After switching on for the first time, the rear window is heated
for 10 minutes. Output voltage to the window is provided by the K13 rear defogger
relay. After automatic switch off, if the button is pressed once again the control unit will
pro vide a clocked operation alternating at 40 seconds on and 80 seconds off. If the
vehicle voltage drops below 11.4V during this second heating operation the function is
stopped, however the LED on the button will not be extinguished. If voltage increases
past 12.2V for at least one second, clocked operation will resume. Clocked operation
continues until the button is pressed again or the ignition is cycled.
Washer Jet Heating:The IHKR provides operating current to the washer jet heaters
based on outside temperature. The washer jets are heated below an outside
temperature of 37
oF.
K-Bus Communication:The IHKR control unit is on the vehicle K-bus and receives
and sends information concerning:
 Engine temperature, RPM, KL61, KL50, compressor request, auxiliary fan request,
compressor load (DME)
 Outside temperature KL15 and road speed (KOMBI)

hard wired stepper motor.
 Automatic recirculation control (AUC).
 Recirculation control via MFL.
 “Rest” function for residual heat when engine is not running.
 Service station feature that closes the water valves when stopped to prevent hot coolant
flooding the heater core.
