3315534 - E2011 DIPPED HEADLAMPS - Functional description (Right hand drive)

Functional description

The dipped beam headlamps are controlled by electronic Check device M45 , which receives control signals from the switches and controls the bulbs while also checking the various lines. The supply for Check device M45 arrives directly from the battery (maxifuse CENTR of B5 ) at pins 1 and 6 of connector C, via fuse F11 of junction unit B1 . The supply controlled by the ignition (INT/A) arrives via fuse F1 of junction unit B1 at pin 9 of connector C; pin 7 of connector C is earthed C21. The dipped beam headlamps switch on the exterior lights control H6 is supplied by the battery via the MAXIFUSE CENTR of B5 , the contact of relay R1 of unit B1 and the fuse F13 it contains. The relay is energised when the ignition switch H1 supplies the INT/A line. When the switch of device H6 closes the contact (pin 7-8), the unit M45 receives the positive signal on pin 6 (connector B) via the stalk unit H5 and from pin 5 (connector D) it energises the coil of the relay R1 of B3 to switch on the dipped beam headlamps. The contact of relay R1 of B3 , via fuses F6 and F7 , supplies respectively the headlamps F10 (left) and F11 (right) on pin 1 (connector C) or pin 6 for XENON headlamps. The unit M45 checks the efficiency of the bulbs and relevant connections; if faults are detected on 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 provides a panel-operated supply via the fuse F1 of junction unit B1 . The unit M45 , via pin 6 connector D, is also connected to the diagnostic multi-connector.
