Turn signal/high beam switch

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 45 other vehicles, including the 2016 BMW M5, 2016 BMW 550i xDrive, 2016 BMW 550i, 2016 BMW 535i xDrive, and 2016 BMW 535i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The turn indicators and the high-beam headlight are controlled by turn signal/high beam switch on the steering column switch cluster (SZL). The signal from the turn signal/high beam switch is transmitted both via FlexRay protocol and through a separate line to ensure functional redundancy. This increases system availability in the event of a fault. The turn indicator lights continue to operate, even if the information fails to reach the footwell module (FRM) through the bus system. This redundant data-transmission is also employed for one-touch flashing function and for the headlight flasher.

The steering column switch cluster (SZL) transmits the signal from the turn signal/high beam switch via FlexRay. The central gateway module (ZGM) transmits the signal to K CAN2. This is how the footwell module (FRM) receives the signals from the turn signal/high beam switch.
