Front Electronic Module (FEM): Notes

The Front Electronic Module (FEM) represents a new generation which supersedes existing control units and their functions. As a result of the modular principle, the Front Electronic Module (FEM) can be installed in all series. The Front Electronic Module (FEM) is the central control unit in the vehicle electrical system. At the same time, the Front Electronic Module (FEM) is the gateway for the other control units. The Front Electronic Module (FEM) provides functions from the previous control units footwell module (FRM), Car Access System (CAS), Junction Box Electronics (JBE) and central gateway module (ZGM). The central gateway module (ZGM) is installed in the Front Electronic Module (FEM) as an independent control unit. The aim is to reduce the number of control units and improve component networking. At the same time, the optimization of the wiring harness reduces the physical bus capacity.
