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.
