The Front Electronic Module (FEM) assumes a central function in terminal control. The terminal control activates and deactivates terminal 30F, terminal 30B and terminal 15N for voltage supply to the control units and components. In addition, the Front Electronic Module (FEM) controls terminal 50 for activation of the starter motor and terminal 15 for end of engine running.

After successful identification of the ID transmitter, the signals of the brake light switch and the clutch switch are read in. The corresponding signals control the activation and deactivation of vehicle functions and allow communication in the vehicle electrical system. In addition, terminal changes can be performed via operation of the START-STOP button or via diagnosis.
