Active front steering control unit
The AL control unit is fitted in a protective housing on the floor of the vehicle in the left-hand footwell. The purpose of the AL control unit is to activate the servomotor of the active steering. In addition, the AL control unit processes the rotor position sensor signals. A temperature sensor in the AL control unit monitors the output stage for the servomotor.
Integrated Chassis Management (ICM) is the higher-level control unit for the suspension control systems.
The control unit for the active steering is connected across 4 plug connections to the vehicle electrical system. The AL control unit is equipment attached to the bus on the FlexRay.
