Description

Operation of the (Eberspaecher) Espar Hydronic No‐Idle heater, part of feature code 16UZL, during mild to cool temperatures may

result in elevated cab and sleeper temperatures resulting in driver discomfort. This is a result of the front heater automatically

setting to full heat, 33% blower speed when the No‐Idle Heater is in use. This article will cover the options to help alleviate the

excessive temperatures in the vehicle.

• To optimize the sleeper temperature during (Eberspaecher) Espar heater operation, the driver should set the bars in the

display to the approximate temperature setting shown below.

◦ Set the fan speed to preferred setting

◦ Set the temperature to desired sleeper temperature

◦ Image below is for representation only

• A printable version of the Sleeper Controller shown below is available ‐ Click Here

◦ You can provide the printout to the driver if desired

Repair Step(s)

The following steps will outline how to disable the front cab heater system during No‐Idle Heater operation, as well as cover the

future improvements that will be implemented to the system.

• Temporary Correction 1 for this concern is to make a programming change in the Front HVAC Control Head Module (Source

Address 25)

◦ This programming change will allow the driver to override the front cab controls after the No‐Idle Heater is in use

◦ The front cab system will operate at the front cab controls current setting (what the driver set the controls to override)

when the engine enters an Auto Start event

◦ The front cab system will go back to default values after an Auto Start/Stop event is completed

• After the engine auto stops and the No‐Idle Heater turns back on, the front cab will return to low blower, floor,

fresh air (Temperature will remain at driver selection)

^ Temperature will remain at Driver Selection at all times.
Overriding blower to speeds below 3 or changing the inlet to recirculation mode may cause

issues with condensation in cab.

• Temporary Correction 2 is no longer applicable. Temporary Correction 1 should be used.

• Permanent Correction is in development

◦ Details are listed in the Permanent Correction section below
Front HVAC Control Module Software ‐ Temporary Correction 1

Any vehicle that used Temporary Correction 2 applied will need to be changed back to the vehicle's original programming. Steps

are listed to verify programming.
The vehicle must be at its original operating state at the completion of Temporary Correction 1
