Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
ICU (Integrated Central control Unit)
The ICU sends out switch signals to a variety of components in a form of CAN data and receives control signals from the BCM. Once signals are received, the ICU will operation the system by controlling the IPS. The ICU also controls the PWM constant voltage (lamp control/lamp damage prevention) while being equipped with an auto-cut relay that shuts off black current and a mode switch that cuts permanent power supplied during the long-term parking. To optimize the wiring, the ICU is linked to each module through CAN communication lines, exchanging data with it.
