Clutch module (manual gearbox only)
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2017 BMW X3, 2016 BMW X3, 2015 BMW X3, 2014 BMW X3, and 2013 BMW X3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
A switch is fitted on the clutch pedal for the purpose of registering clutch operation on vehicles with manual gearboxes. The switch has two gearshift positions:
- 10% position
This position is required for the cruise control and automatic engine start-stop functions. The signal is transmitted via its own line to the DME/DDE control unit and evaluated there.
- 90% position
This position is required for the starter lock. The signal is transmitted via its own line to the CAS/FEM control unit and evaluated there. The signal is then transmitted via a CAN bus to the DME/DDE control unit.
The following tables show how the signals are switched:
MINI and BMW vehicles:
| Not operated | Operated | |
|---|---|---|
| 10% position | Earth | Positive |
| 90% position | Earth | Positive |
M GmbH vehicles:
| Not operated | Operated | |

| 10% position | Positive | Earth |
