Steering column switch
module
Due to the compact design of the newly
developed steering column switch module, it
was possible to minimise the amount of wir-
ing necessary and the space requirements.
A self-diagnosis facility for the steering col-
umn switch is now available with new switch
module.
The steering column switch module consists
of the following components:
– Turn signal switch
– Wiper switch with interval potentiometer
– Separate steering column switch cruise
control system operation
– Coil spring for diver's airbag
– Steering angle sensor for ESP
– Steering column electronics for signal con-
version and processing of drive and con-
venience CAN BUS J527
In addition, the steering column electronics
register the ignition switch signals.
Furthermore, the control buttons for multi-
function and "tiptronic" steering wheel are
registered via the steering wheel electronics
module.
Steering column switch
Detection of the respective switch positions is
effected via voltage coding, using various
resistance values in the relevant position. The
steering column electronics evaluates this
switch information and transmits it, via the
convenience CAN BUS, to the vehicle electri-
cal system control unit J519.
Cruise control system (CCS)
For ergonomic reasons, the control switch for
the cruise control system is located on the
left side of the steering column, below the
turn signal lever.
Warning lamp K31 in the dash panel insert
illuminates when the CCS is in control mode.
The modified operation of the CCS Steering
column switch function is described in the
Owner's Manual.

There are three control unit versions:
– "lowline" for the standard version
– "lowline" for vehicles with headlight
washer system
– "highline" for vehicles with driver informa-
tion system
The following functions are available with the
"lowline" version:
– Wash/wipe control and interval
– Hazard warning and turn signal control
– Actuation of horn and load-reduction relay
– Parking light left/right
– Side light left/right
– Main beam left/right and headlight flasher
– Number plate lightThe "highline" version implements the driver
information system function and also
performs the following control functions:
– Driving light and dipped beam left/right,
– Fog lights and rear lights,
– Reversing lights,
– Brake lights
with separate outputs to each of the individ-
ual consumers.
Light control
In the highline version, light control is trans-
mitted from the steering column switch
module or directly from the rotary light
control, via the convenience data bus, to the
vehicle electrical system control unit.

The hazard warning flasher signal is control-
led separately by the vehicle electrical system
control unit, via the hazard warning flasher
button.
If, during hazard warning flashing, the turn
signal flasher is actuated, e.g. during towing,
the hazard warning lights lose their priority
for this period.
The turn signal clicking is generated by an
integral acoustic relay in the dash panel
insert.
Turn signal/hazard warning light control
The functions:
– Anti-theft alarm flasher
– Central locking system flasher when
opening/closing
– Key-learn flasher for key adaption
– Crash flasher
– Panic flasher (USA only)
are specified by the central convenience elec-
tronics and transmitted via the convenience
data bus to the vehicle electrical system con-
trol unit, which then executes the "com-
mands".
The signal for turn signal flashing or motor-
way flashing is output via the steering column
switch module and executed by the vehicle
electrical system control unit.
For active hazard warning flasher with
ignition OFF, the flasher bulbs are actu-
ated for a shorter period in order to mini-
mise current consumption.
Motorway flashing is detected by the vehicle
electrical system control unit when the turn
signal lever is pressed and this triggers a tri-
ple turn signal flash.
