SZL: Steering column switch cluster

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.

Depending on the series, the steering column switch cluster is a control unit (e.g. F10) or is no longer a control unit (e.g. F15). The steering column switch cluster features one steering column switch each on the left and right sides. The right-hand steering column switch is designed for operating the functions of the wash/wipe system. The steering column switch on the left side of the steering column controls the high-beam headlight and turn indicators as well as operation of the on-board computer. The signals are made available by the steering column switch cluster via the FlexRay or the LIN bus.

The steering column switch cluster transmits the following requests to the footwell module (FRM) or the Body Domain Controller (BDC) to control the LED headlight:
