2892486 - E2011 DIPPED HEADLAMPS - Functional description (Euro 3)

Functional description

The circuit for the dipped beam headlamps is operated by the steering column switch unit H5 . By placing the switch in the dipped beam position, the line which supplies the headlamps F10 (left) and F11 (right) is supplied controlled by the ignition. Each circuit is protected by a fuse in the junction unit B1 : F5 for the right headlamp and F4 for the left one. With the dipped beam headlamps on, this supply passes through the dipped beam headlamps maintenance relay/remote control switch J45 . If the dipped beam and main beam headlamps are switched, this supply is interrupted, but it is replaced by the one supplied from pin 87 of remote control switch J45 : the signal for switching on the main beam headlamps - through the steering column switch unit H5 and the supply controlled by the ignition (INT) for the line protected by fuse F8 of the junction unit B1 - energizes the relay (pin 85) which switches the supply at the direct line (maxifuse J/B2 for B5 ) which keeps the circuit for the dipped headlamps and the main beam headlamps supplied. The supply line for the right lamp - protected by fuse F5 - also acts as the go ahead signal for the headlamp alignment (  See E3080  HEADLAMP AGLINMENT CORRECTOR ) and the headlamp washer (  See E3022  HEADLAMP WASHER ).
