Light Check Module III (LCM III): Overview: Notes
The light check module LCM has been redesigned for Model Year 99 as of 9/98 production. It is now identified as the LCM III and is installed in both the E38 and E39 vehicles.
The module itself has been redesigned with new semi-conductor final stages that produce less heat in operation. This has allowed for the elimination of the protruding heat sink found on the previous LCM.
The total scope of function and features has been expanded to improve the comfort and safety for the driver and passengers of the vehicle. Feature and functional changes to the LCM include:
- Replacement lighting for the parking lights
- Limiting of output voltage to the lamps
- Follow Me Home (delayed exit) lighting
