Emergency Flasher Button Search Illumination

Additional Components

Function

When the emergency flashers are off, the emergency flasher indicator lamp -K6- is dimmed by the vehicle electrical system control module -J519- via a PWM signal, if terminal 58st is active.

The dimming function works as the search illumination in this case. The vehicle electrical system control module -J519- calculates the dimming value using an internal algorithm taken from the dimming value for terminal 58st.

When the emergency flashers are on, the emergency flasher indicator lamp -K6- is controlled by the vehicle electrical system control module -J519-. The indicator lamp is controlled by a 100% PWM during the on phase. During the off phase, the PWM signal is 0%.

Activating the emergency flashers works as follows:

The condition of the emergency flasher button -E229- is evaluated by thevehicle electrical system control module -J519-.

When the button is recognized as being on, then the information is sent to the comfort system central control module -J393- via the CAN Bus, which serves as the blink master. This then sends tells the emergency flasher indicator lamp -J519-, via the CAN Bus, which frequency should be used to control the emergency flasher indicator lamp -K6-.

The emergency flashers are automatically turned on by the comfort system central control module -J393- during emergency braking of if there a crash and airbag deploys and the blinking frequency information is sent to the vehicle electrical system control module -J519-.

Service Information 

The emergency flasher indicator lamp -K6- can be controlled by an actuator test in the vehicle electrical system control module -J519-.

The dimming value can be displayed in the vehicle electrical system control module -J519- measured values block when the emergency flasher indicator lamp -K6- is on.
