PDC Control Module

1999 BMW 328i 4D Sedan, StandardSECTION PDC Control Module

The PDC control module activates the ultrasonic sensors mounted in the rear bumper cover. After activation, the module monitors the signals coming back through the sensors. Through this signal, the control module is able to determine the distance to any object close to the bumpers of the vehicle. As the vehicle comes close to an object, the control module will activate the acoustic warning through the right rear audio system speaker.

The PDC control module is mounted in the trunk on the right side above the battery.
