The rear fog lamps (10/46, 10/53) are activated by pressing the button for the rear fog lamps in the lamp switch module (3/111). The light switch module (LSM) transmits a request to light the lamps to the central electronic module (CEM) (4/56) using serial communication. The central electronic module (CEM) transmits the request to the rear electronic module (REM) (4/58) via the Controller area network (CAN).

Central Electronic Module (CEM) transmits information:

back to the light switch module (LSM) to light the LED in the button
via the Controller area network (CAN) to the driver information module (DIM) (5/1) to light the indicator lamp for the rear fog lamps.

The rear electronic module (REM) sends the status of 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) which displays a text message.
