Location 

One Xenon headlamp control unit is located on the underside of the left front lamp unit and the underside of the right front lamp unit respectively. The xenon headlamp control units are screwed to the housings of the front lamp units. The xenon headlamp control units are connected to the vehicle-side wiring harness via the front lamp units.

Task 

The xenon headlamp control units work in a master/slave combination and communicate with each other via the front end CAN (CAN-G). As master the xenon headlamp control unit at the left front lamp unit synchronizes the xenon headlamp control unit at the right front lamp unit. The master and slave function assignment is done by the connector assignment or the pin coding.

The xenon headlamp control units have the following tasks:

Reading in of sensors, pickups and signals 

The input factors are read in via the following connection:

Front end CAN 

The xenon headlamp control units use the front end CAN. The signals of the sensors listed below are sent to the xenon headlamp control unit on the left front lamp unit for calculating the vehicle speed and vehicle level:

Evaluation of input factors 

The input factors read in via the front end CAN are evaluated by the integrated microprocessor whereupon the corresponding components are then actuated.

Control of functions 

The following functions are realized by actuating the appropriate components:

Actuation of components 

Components are actuated via the following lines:

Direct line 

The xenon headlamp control unit on the left front lamp unit actuates the following components over a direct line:

The xenon headlamp control unit on the right front lamp unit actuates the following components over a direct line:

LIN
