3315547 - E2021 BRAKE LIGHTS - Functional description

Functional description

The main beams are controlled by electronic Check device M45 , which receives control signals from the switches and controls the bulbs while also checking the various lines. Check device M45 is supplied directly from the battery. (maxifuse CENTR of B5 ) to pins 1 and 6 of connector C, via fuse F11 of junction unit B1 . An ignition-operated power supply (INT/A) reaches pin 9 of connector C through fuse F1 of junction unit B1 : pin 7 of connector C is earthed. The switch I30 is supplied when the ignition is turned on (INT/A) from fuse line F1 of junction unit B1 :when the brake pedal is pressed, the switch closes and sends the operation signal to pin 1 of connector B of M45 . The supply line I30 is also sent to the Check device M45 - pin 2 of connector C - which checks its condition. The check device also controls - pin 7 and pin 5 of connector B - the supply to the lateral stop lights in the rear lights clusters F30 ed F31 . and from pin 8 of connector B of the central rear cluster F40 . The device M45 checks the efficiency of the bulbs and their connections: if faults are detected in the circuit, the 'lights fault' warning light on the instrument panel E50, pin 7 of connector C, is lit from pin 6 of connector A, while pin 15 of connector A supplies an ignition-operated power supply to the panel through fuse F1 of the junction unit B1 . In this specific case, the control unit also checks the supply line of switch I30 , and if necessary indicates any faults. The braking signal from switch I30 is also sent from the switch to the ABS (  See E7020  ABS ) and to the engine management control unit (  See E5030  PETROL ENGINE ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT or  See E5050  DIESEL ENGINES ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT ).
