3239286 - E2021 BRAKE LIGHTS - Functional description (VDC, Station Wagon)

Functional description

The switch I30 is controlled by the ignition (INT) from the line for fuse F4 of the additional fuse box B 98 B : when the brake pedal is pressed, the switch closes and sends the operating signal to the check device inside the rev counter E15 (pin 5 of connector A). The supply for the check device inside E15 arrives directly from the battery (maxifuse B99) at pins 10 and 16 of connector A, through fuses F2 and F3 of the junction unit B1; The former protects the left hand lighting circuits, the latter protects the right hand circuits. The check device thereby controls the supply (pin 18 and pin 13 of connector A) for the side brake lights in the rear light clusters F30 and F31 . In the case of failures in the circuit, the 'lights failure' warning light - inside E15 - comes on, with the supply controlled by the ignition (IINT), pin 15 of connector A, of the line protected by fuse F4 of the additional fuse box B98B. The switch I30 sends the signal for operating the centre rear light cluster F40 via the junction unit B1 (pin 18, connector D and pin 14 of connector E). The braking signal for the switch I30 is sent from the switch to the ABS See E7020 ABS and - on some versions - to the engine management control unit as well See E5030 PETROL ENGINE ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT .
