Control module Name/ Function Connected to/Master node Other
ACM Alternator control module (ACM)
Controls charge regulation of the battery.
Engine control module (ECM).
Also diagnosed by the Central electronic module (CEM).
AQS Air quality sensor (AQS)
Measures the particle content in the air into the climate system.
Climate control module (CCM) The Climate control module (CCM) uses this signal as a basis for control of the damper for recirculation.
DMM Damper motor module (DMM)
Regulates the air flow in the passenger compartment, temperature between the right (only ECC) and left sides as well as recirculation.
Climate control module (CCM)
GDL Gas discharge lamp module (GDL)
Controls the function of the GDL lamps.
Central electronic module (CEM) In total there are two in the vehicle, one on each side. The control module on the left-hand side is the master for the two LIN units.
GSM Gear selector module (GSM)
Provides input signals to the Transmission control module (TCM), about the position of the gear shift.
