Title: Re: Heater Post by Scorpio_Mike on Sep 19th, 2010, 7:19pm You can try flushing the matrix but sadly it sounds like the matrix could be blocked and the only real cure is to replace it. Unfortunately, when Ford designed the Scorpio, they seemed to have started with the heater matrix and built the rest of the car around it :( |

Title: Re: Heater Post by Cosray on Sep 19th, 2010, 8:30pm .... Len have you tried resetting the doors/flaps of the heater/airco system? After a while they can become disoriented & stuck halfways and partially block the mix & airflow. Remember, the heater matrix is always full ON and included in the cooling system; the flaps/doors regulate the air temp and flow so... There is a drill on the website; I will look it up for you in a minute... it is applicable to models with the Semi Automatic Temperature Control - SATC option (also called Climate Control - CC): http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/ccreset.htm BTW what model/ year/options? HTH Ray |

Title: Re: Heater Post by L6ENY on Sep 20th, 2010, 2:40pm OK! Done the resetting test, and its showing 07 heater blower control module fault code, but the blower is working fine, any thoughts guys? |

Title: Re: Heater Post by Cosray on Sep 20th, 2010, 2:46pm ... just reset it according to here: http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/ccreset.htm Procedure 1. Run the engine. 2. Turn the blower switch and the air distribution switch as far left as they will go. 3. Simultaneously press the buttons for "Recirculated Air" and "A/C" for about 10 seconds until the code"00" appears on the passenger side LCD. 4. Select code "50" using the passenger side temperature control switch. 5. Press the "Recirculated Air" button until the code "00" appears. 6. Simultaneously press the buttons for "Recirculated Air" and "A/C" for about 10 seconds until the code "00" appears on the passenger side LCD. After this step the initialisation process is complete and the adjustment is finished. There have been several TSB’s issued concerning the cc system. TSB 209/1995 talks of a fault code “03” continually flashing on the display indicating a faulty outside temperature sensor connected to a faulty ac module. *********** How's the heat output now? Have you heard the flaps/doors clicking and resetting? Sometimes the resetting cycle needs to be repeated... and suddenly the codes disappear. It is worth taking off the display panel (flips out with a thinbladed screwdriver over a piece of plastic to avoid scratching) and spraycleaning the two potentiometers. Replace the lightbulbs while at it! Since it also has a tiny air-sucking motor for the temp sensor in it it will collect dust over time. Works for me... Ray |

Title: Re: Heater Post by Tompion on Oct 9th, 2010, 7:08pm I’ve tried that as well as many other methods. They usually work for anything between a few days & six months before the bits of plastic bung the matrix up again. Let’s hope it lasts for you. :) |
