Location

One front actuation module, LED exterior lighting each is located on the rear of the left front lamp unit and the rear of the right front lamp unit.

Task

The front LED exterior lights actuation modules are responsible for the following tasks:

Provision and monitoring of the supply voltage and the operating current of the actuated LEDs
Actuation of the LEDs in the corresponding front lamp unit to output the light functions:
- Left high beam (E1e1)
- Right high beam (E2e1)
- Left low beam (short range) (E1e15)
- Right low beam (short range) (E2e15)
- Left low beam (long range) (E1e16)
- Right low beam (long range) (E2e16)
Thermal management (temperature monitoring and fan control)

The front actuation modules, LED exterior lighting are powered by the front SAM control unit (N10/6) (circuit 30L).

The individual light functions are output after applying voltage at the respective input channel of the front LED exterior lights actuation module.

The left front LED exterior lights actuation module communicates via left headlamp LIN (LIN G1) with the left headlamp control unit (E1n9). The right front LED exterior lights actuation module communicates via right headlamp LIN (LIN G2) with the right headlamp control unit (E2n9).

Identified malfunctions of individual components are stored in a non-volatile memory. The front LED exterior lights actuation modules can be diagnosed using the corresponding headlamp control unit.

The front actuation modules, LED exterior lighting are bolted to the front lamp unit housings. The front actuation modules, LED exterior lighting are connected to the vehicle-side wiring harness through the electrical connector on each front lamp unit.

Thermal management

The front lamp units have temperature sensors that are used to sense the heat development in the areas actuated by the LEDs. If the LEDs or the plastic housings for the front lamp units threaten to overheat as a consequence of excessively high outside temperatures or high actuation currents, the actuating currents of the LEDs are reduced, thereby lowering the heat development.

The front actuation modules, LED exterior lighting also actuate the following components to additionally cool the LEDs or plastic housings of the front lamp units:

Fan motor 2 for left front lamp unit (E1m5)
Fan motor 2 for right front lamp unit (E2m5)

The fan motors are either actuated immediately or with a time delay.

The actuation depends on which light function is active.

The active ventilation by means of actuation of the fan motors is used simultaneously for de-icing the front lamp units at low outside temperatures.
