General 

The electronic ignition lock control unit is connected to the network architecture of the vehicle and forms an interface for the communication of different systems and their control units. In addition, the electronic ignition lock control unit transmits information for the variant coding, e.g. model series, major assembly version, and national version, using the network architecture of the vehicle to all control units. They then perform part of their self-configuration.

Function 

The electronic ignition lock control unit controls the following functions:

• Central locking system
• Drive authorization system
• KEYLESS-GO (vehicles with KEYLESS-GO)
• Steering lock (vehicles with manual transmission)
• Emergency gate actuation for engaging transmission position P in the case of undervoltage (vehicles with automatic transmission)

In order to implement the functions, the electronic ignition lock control unit processes the following information, among others:

• Signals from the transmitter key or the "Digital Vehicle Key" (vehicles with vehicle access and drive authorization using mobile phones)
• Signals from the KEYLESS-GO antennae
• Signals from the sensors in the door handles (vehicles with KEYLESS-GO)
• Status of left front door (open/closed)
• Status of start/stop button

The electronic ignition lock control unit processes this information and transmits the following information and requests (among others) using the network architecture:

• Terminal status
• Central locking system status
• Request to lock/unlock central locking system
• Request for drive authorization system access authorization code
• Steering lock requirement (vehicles with manual transmission)
• Request to engage drive range P (vehicles with automatic transmission)
