Technical Information
The control panel forms the driver’s interface with the vehicle’s HVAC system.
Depending on vehicle specification, it controls functions including:
• Cabin temperature selection
• Heater operation
• Air-conditioning operation
• Blower/fan settings
• Air distribution
• Windscreen demisting
• Air recirculation
• Associated HVAC functions
The panel sends the driver’s selected settings to the relevant heating and ventilation system components.
HVAC System Information
This panel does not itself produce hot or cold air.
It operates as the control interface for components within the vehicle’s heating and air-conditioning system.
A fault elsewhere in the HVAC system can therefore cause heating or A/C problems even when the control panel itself is functioning correctly.
Common Symptoms / Reasons for Replacement
• Climate controls not responding
• A/C controls not operating correctly
• Heater controls intermittently working
• Buttons damaged or sticking
• Illumination failure
• Display/control-panel fault
• Physical damage to dashboard controls
• Internal electronic failure
• Replacement following dashboard repair
Important Diagnostic Information
Before replacing the control panel, check:
• Relevant fuses
• Electrical supply and earth
• Rear electrical connectors
• Vehicle wiring
• Blower motor and controller
• Heater flap actuators
• A/C system operation
• HVAC sensors where applicable
A blower motor, resistor/controller, actuator or wiring fault can sometimes produce symptoms that appear to originate from the climate-control panel.
Manual / Automatic Climate Control
Please pay particular attention to the HVAC specification.
Listings for 79600SMJE4 exist with references to both manual and automatic air-conditioning configurations. (BreakerYard)
For this reason, do not rely solely on the model year.
Always compare the complete panel, controls, electrical connectors and additional manufacturer/reference numbers with your original unit.
Installation
Designed to install in the original dashboard location using the factory mounting arrangement and electrical connections.
Before installation:
• Switch off the vehicle electrical system
• Inspect connectors for damaged or bent pins
• Compare the replacement unit with the original
• Ensure all connectors are fully secured
• Test all HVAC functions after installation
Programming / Coding
Programming requirements can vary according to vehicle and HVAC specification.
When replacing an identical unit with the same 79600-SMJ-E4 number and matching specification, the original configuration should always be retained wherever possible.
If HVAC functions do not operate correctly following replacement, diagnostic checking is recommended.
Important Compatibility Note
Please match the original number exactly:
79600SMJE4
79600-SMJ-E4
Honda Civic MK8 models were produced with different heater and climate-control configurations.
Before ordering, compare:
• OE part number
• Manual / automatic A/C specification
• Control layout
• Electrical connectors
• Additional SANWA/manufacturer numbers
• 3-door / 5-door vehicle specification
• RHD / LHD configuration
Matching the exact part number, panel layout and electrical connections is the safest method of confirming compatibility.
Condition
Genuine used Honda OEM part.
Normal signs of previous use may be present, including light scratches, marks and cosmetic wear around the buttons and panel surface.
