Location 

The electronic ignition lock control unit is located in the rear section of the center console.

Task 

The electronic ignition lock control unit has the following tasks:

Reading in of signals 

The input factors are read in with the following connections:

Direct line 

The following signal is read in via a direct line:

Interior CAN 

The signals are read in by the electronic ignition lock control unit via the interior CAN.

The functions resulting therefrom are described in the corresponding function descriptions (see block diagram or function schematic).

Chassis CAN 

The signals are read in by the electronic ignition lock control unit via the chassis CAN.

The functions resulting therefrom are described in the corresponding function descriptions (see block diagram or function schematic).

Evaluation of input factors 

The input factors that have been read in are evaluated by the integrated microprocessor and the relevant components are then actuated.

Output of signals 

Components are actuated with the following lines:

Interior CAN 

The signals are transmitted to the electronic ignition lock control unit via the interior CAN.

The functions resulting therefrom are described in the corresponding function descriptions (see block diagram or function schematic).

Chassis CAN 

The signals are transmitted to the electronic ignition lock control unit via the chassis CAN.

The functions resulting therefrom are described in the corresponding function descriptions (see block diagram or function schematic).

Power supply for transmitter key 

When the transmitter key is inserted into the electronic ignition lock control unit, it switches on the inductive power transmission for power supply to the transmitter key.
