Crash unlocking

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 crash is identified by the ACSM control unit (ACSM stands for "Advanced Crash Safety Module", referred to as the "Crash Safety Module"). A crash message is transmitted by the CAS control unit. The message is transferred on the bus connection. The CAS control unit unlocks the vehicle.

All operating points are disabled when there is a crash message. This prevents unintentional actions of the central locking system from occurring due to line short circuits caused by the accident.

After a crash, the central locking cannot be operated again until Terminal 30B has been switched off for at least 3 seconds.
