Swivelling Ranges

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 37 other vehicles, including the 2006 BMW 330Ci, 2006 BMW 325Ci, 2005 BMW M3, 2005 BMW 330xi, and 2005 BMW 330i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The swivel motors are controlled in a forwards and reverse direction from the straight-ahead position as follows:

For example, the right-hand headlight has the following swivelling ranges:

To the right as far as the coded end stop of the swivelling range: Swivelling angle 15° (from the straight-ahead position)
To the left as far as the coded end stop of the swivelling range: Swivelling angle 7° (from the straight-ahead position).

The stepper motor controller (SMC) sends the coded end stop of the swivelling range to the AHL control unit. The AHL control unit only outputs values that correspond to the coded end stop of the swivelling range.
