Location
The left door control unit is located on the door module of the left door behind the door panel.

Task
The left door control unit has the following tasks:
^ Reading in of sensors, pickups and signals
^ Evaluation of input factors
^ Actuation of components

Reading in of sensors, pickups and signals
The input factors are read in with the following connections:
^ Direct line
^ Interior CAN

Direct line
The following switches and sensors are read in directly via a direct line:
- Left IR receiver unit (A26/1) (with code (880) Closing system with infrared remote control)
- Hall sensors of left front power window motor (M10/3)
- Mirror adjustment up/down potentiometer (M21/1r2) (with code (275) Driver seat, steering column and electrically adjustable outside mirror with memory)
- Mirror adjustment in/out potentiometer (M21/1r3) (with code (275) Driver seat, steering column and electrically adjustable outside mirror with memory)
- Driver-side power window switch group (S20/1)
- Left power window switch (S20/1s1)
- Right power window switch (S20/1s2)

Interior CAN
The signals from the following control points of the upper control panel control unit (N72/1) are read in via interior CAN:
- Outside mirror adjustment switch with/without mirror fold-in/out feature (S50/1) Outside mirror adjustment up/down, in/out toggle switch (S50/1s1)
