On older cars, the heater control valve did serve a very similar purpose to the DCCV, but was often vacuum actuated (DCCV is electronically actuated). Someone who's been in the business awhile may refer to the DCCV as a "heater control valve."

The techician who told me there were two isn't fixing my car. Do you have the part number?
