The stop lamps (10/43, 10/50) are activated when the brake switch is (3/9) closed. A directly connected signal is transmitted via the central electronic module (CEM) (4/56) to the rear electronic module (REM) (4/58) and activates the relay. The lamps are powered via the relay. The central electronic module (CEM) transmits the data via the Controller area network (CAN) to the rear electronic module (REM) indicating that the stop lamp switch is activated. The rear electronic module (REM) sends status information for the lamp fault via the Control area network (CAN) to the central electronic module (CEM). In the event of a fault, the central electronic module (CEM) transmits data via the Control area network (CAN) to the driver information module (DIM) (5/1) which displays a text message.
