DOOR MODULES: E60, E61, E63, E64 UP TO 09/2005
| Key | Explanation | Key | Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Screws for removing door module (illustration shows E60 front-passenger door) | 2 |
IMPORTANT:
Do not undo the screws The inner screws hold the housing together. This ensures that the pressure sensor is secured. |
Construction
The door module is a combination of the following:
- Control unit for various functions of the body electronics, such as the exterior mirrors or the front power windows
- Satellite of the passive safety system ASE (ASE = Advanced Safety Electronics)
There is a pressure sensor in the driver's and front-passenger door module. The pressure sensor allows the ASE to trigger the side airbag as early as possible. There are a total of 5 connectors on the door module (example of the driver's door).

How it works
The door module is an interface to:
- Driver's door switch block via LIN bus or front-passenger power window switch
- Motors for vertical and horizontal adjustment of the mirror glass
- Motor for folding in the mirrors
- Mirror heating
- Safety and gateway module (SGM) via byteflight
The door module controls the following in addition to the exterior mirrors:
