Function
The electrical steering column lock control unit (1) processes the information from the electronic ignition lock control unit (EIS) and has two supply lines one from the Supplemental Restraint System control unit (SRS) and one from the signal acquisition and actuation module (SAM).
The electrical steering column lock control unit (1) performs the following functions
- Calculation of the hash value for checking the validity of the transmitter key.
- If the hash value is incorrect and the unlocking position is not reached or not detected, a fault message is sent to the electronic ignition lock control unit.
- Position monitoring of locking bolt via two switching contacts.
- Switching on integrated motor via the center-zero relay for locking and unlocking locking bolt.
- Arresting steering column with locking bolt.
The electrical steering column lock can only move the locking bolt in the lock direction if both supply lines are active. The electronic ignition lock control unit must request that the corresponding line is switched to active.
