Control Module: General
The DICE control module is located above the main relay board (LHD) and adjacent to the main relay board (RHD). It is connected to the system components with a 70 pin connector.
As the central unit in the DICE system, the control module checks and controls the system components and functions as follows:
- DICE - controls the power supply to the various system functions. Power is supplied directly via the control module and via external relays that are grounded through the control module.
- DICE - is connected to the instrument BUS (I-BUS) and consequently receives, processes and sends information (communicates) over the BUS with other systems (control modules) in the car that are connected to the BUS.
- DICE - has an internal diagnostic function and diagnostic trouble codes are generated in case of faults.
- DICE - is programmable. Certain functions can be programmed to meet with legal requirements, market demands, customer requirements and the car's equipment.
