BMW 3: Electrical connections
The high-voltage battery unit also has a signal connection, as well as the
high-voltage connection.
The high-voltage battery unit is integrated in the refrigerant circuit in order
for it to be cooled.

Connections of the SP41 high-voltage battery
- Venting unit
- Signal connector
- Connections for refrigerant lines
- High-voltage connection
The electrical lines (high-voltage and signal connection), as well as the
refrigerant lines, can be
disconnected without having to remove the high-voltage battery unit.
Low-voltage connection
There is a signal connection on the left side of the high-voltage battery
unit of the G20 PHEV. The
control units integrated in the high-voltage battery unit are supplied with
voltage, data bus, sensor and
monitoring signals via this interface.
The signal connection has the following lines:
- Voltage supply of the SME control unit with terminal 30 and terminal 31
- Terminal 30C (crash signal) for voltage supply of the electromechanical
switch contactors
- Wake-up line from the Body Domain Controller (BDC)
- Input and output of the signal line for the high-voltage interlock loop
- Output (+12 V and ground) for the actuation of the combined expansion
and shutoff valve as
part of the refrigerant circuit
- K-CAN5.
High-voltage connection
There is a 2-pin flat high-voltage connection at the high-voltage battery
unit with which the high-
voltage battery unit is connected to the EME.

Concept
You may react to unpleasant odors or pollutants
in the immediate environment by temporarily
suspending the supply of outside air. The system
then recirculates the air flow within the vehicle.
Operation
Press the button.
The LED is illuminated when recirculated-
air mode is switched on. The
