3315551 - 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. 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 N.A. contact of switch I30 is supplied when the ignition is turned on (15/54) from fuse line F1 of junction unit B2:when the brake pedal is pressed, the switch closes and sends the operation signal to pin 2 of connector B of M45. The check device also controls - pin 8 and pin 5 of connector B - the supply to the lateral stop lights in the rear lights clusters F30 ed F31. and from pin 12 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. In this specific case, the control unit also checks the supply line of switch I30 , and if necessary indicates any faults.
