3315530 - E2010 SIDE LIGHTS / NO. PLATE LIGHTS - Functional description

Functional description

The side lights and parking lights are controlled by the electronic Check device M45 , that receives control signals from the switches and controls the bulbs while also checking the various lines. The supply for the Check device M45 arrives directly from the battery at pin 1 of connector C and 6 of connector E via fuses F17 and F15 of junction unit B2 for the right and left branches of the lights, respectively. The ignition-controlled supply (15/54) arrives via relay T1 and fuse F9 of junction unit B2 at pin 3 of connector B: pin 8 of connector C is earthed. The side lights switch for the exterior lights H6 sends a command from pin 5 of connector A to pin 5 of connector A of M45 when the side lights are switched on. In response to this signal, the Check device M45 controls the supply for the front side lights F10 (left) and F11 (right) from pins 2 and 3 of connector C; the rear lights F30 and F35 (left), F31 and F36 (right) from pins 9, 10, 2, 3 of connector E; and, lastly, the number plate lights F50 and F51 from pins 1 and 7 of connector E. Pin 18 of connector A of M45 simultaneously lights up the 'side lights on' warning light inside the instrument panel E50, pin 5 of connector C. The parking lights switch of the exterior lights control H6 sends the command to pin 11 of connector A when the parking lights are switched on; to pin 14 of connector A of M45.In response to this signal, the Check device M45 controls the supply to the side lights as described above. 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 turnedon by pin 6 of connector A.
