Optical Sensor

Optical Sensor

Optical sensor is installed in the LH side of instrument panel.
Optical sensor converts the outside brightness (lux) to voltage and transmits the optical sensor signal to the BCM.
The optical sensor outputs voltage signals to the BCM according to the brightness of the ambient light. This sensor increases the voltage output according to increases in the brightness of the ambient light.

Stop Lamp Switch

Stop Lamp Switch

The stop lamp switch is installed on the brake pedal assembly.
The BCM detects the ON/OFF status of the stop lamp switch and illuminates the stop lamps.

Brake Pedal Position Switch

Brake Pedal Position Switch

The brake pedal position switch is installed on the brake pedal assembly.
The BCM detects the ON/OFF status of the brake pedal position switch and illuminates the stop lamps.

Hazard Switch

Hazard Switch

The hazard switch is installed in the center of the instrument panel.
Outputs the ON/OFF status of the hazard switch to the BCM, flashing the hazard warning lamps.

Led Headlamp Control Module

LED Headlamp Control Module

The LED headlamp control module is mounted to the bottom of the front combination lamp LH and front combination lamp RH.
When power is supplied from the IPDM E/R, the LED headlamp control module internally calculates the supplied power. The calculated power is distributed to multiple LEDs that consist of circuit boards and other components, illuminating the LED headlamps.
When a malfunction is detected in the headlamp (LO) circuit, the LED headlamp control module outputs a headlamp warning signal to the IPDM E/R to inform the driver of the malfunction.
