RGB (Red, Green and Blue) LED modules are used for the ambient lighting.
The lighting for the ambient interior lighting is controlled via a separate LIN
bus. The individual LED
modules are connected via a local interconnect network bus. The LED modules are
connected in
series to the LIN bus around the vehicle.
If the LIN bus is interrupted at a certain point or the micro controller on the
LED is faulty, then further
light transmittance is interrupted at this point. A search for the fault must be
carried out at the location
where the last LED illuminates.
