Location 

The front SAM control unit is in the control unit box on the left inside the engine compartment.

Task 

The front SAM control unit has the following tasks:

Reading in of sensors, pickups and signals 

The input factors are read in via the following connections:

Direct line 

The signals from the following components are read via a direct line:

Climate control LIN 

The signals from the following components are read in via the climate control LIN:

IMPORTANT The signals from the refrigerant pressure sensor, the AAC multifunction sensor and the AAC [KLA] sun sensor (4 in total) are forwarded to the AAC control unit (N22/1) via the climate control LIN.

On-board electrical system LIN 

The signals from the following component are read in via the on-board electrical system LIN:

Interior CAN 

The signals are read in by the front SAM control unit via the interior 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 are evaluated by the microprocessor and the corresponding components are actuated.

Control of systems 

The front SAM control unit controls the following systems:

Actuation of components 

The components are actuated via direct lines.

The following components are actuated with a direct line:

Voltage supply to components 

Limit switches supply various components and control units with voltage according to the function sequence.

The requests are forwarded to the front SAM control unit either via the interior CAN or via directly read-in switches and sensors. The components and control units supplied with voltage are protected against overload by means of fuses.

IMPORTANT Detailed information can be found in the description "Fuse and relay box, as-built configuration".

Switching consumers using relays 

The front SAM control unit serves as a mount for the following relays which actuate various consumers:
