Front electronic module (FEM): Front Electronic Module

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).

All LED headlight functions are controlled by the front electronic module (FEM).

The front electronic module (FEM) receives many input signals that lead to the LED headlight being switched on.

The central gateway module (ZGM) is integrated in the Front Electronic Module (FEM). It is seen as a control unit within the control unit, as the central gateway module (ZGM) acts as a self-sufficient control unit within the Front Electronic Module (FEM).

The task of the central gateway module (ZGM) is to connect all bus systems. This combination allows general use of information from the individual bus systems. The central gateway module (ZGM) is able to implement various reports and speeds on other bus systems. The programming data are transferred to the vehicle by Ethernet via the central gateway module (ZGM).
