SAM Unit (Fuse Box)

Mod Description It's a name that gets banded around especially by Roadster owners but not that many people actually know what it is, even less know what's inside. Mod Details Premium No Difficulty Mod ID 539 Credit Evilution For Link https://evilution.co.uk/mod/sam-unit-fuse-box.htm Copy to Clipboard Many thanks to Dave Guile from Chequered Flag in Strood for donating this part. So What Is The SAM Unit? Essentially it is a fuse box with internal relays and a microprocessor that controls almost all of the electrical functions of the car. The processor is flashable so it can be taught new tricks by way of a TAN code, these tricks include paddle gear shift, auto door locking, automatic gear change, day time running lights, cruise control etc. What Does SAM Stand For? Signal Acquisition & Actuation Module. Where Is It? It can be found at the top of the footwell, passenger side of a RHD smart city coupe/cabrio, drivers side of a LHD smart city coupe/cabrio and the drivers side of a Roadster. What Does It Look Like? Just a plain boring black box with fuses pushed into the front. Although the SAM units all look the same, the new 452 internals are slightly different. What About The Bits We Can’t See? The top side is where most of the wiring goes to, there are 10 connections and a positive input. All inputs are labled. Each circuit has its own earth point around the car. There Is Something Missing Damn right, Relays. Most cars have relays in the fuse box, these control the horn, wipers, indicators, lights etc. The relays visible on the smart are for the fog light and heated seats. How Does That Work Then? No different except in this case the relays are actually inside the SAM unit. Inside The SAM Unit Remove the three Torx10 screws. Unclip all the plastic clips around the outside With the top off you see the main fuse connections With it removed from the box you see the relays and connectors The board is in 4 parts and is bent around on itself, you can see the cracks between the tracks but this is normal. The tracks are OK. PCB 1, 2 and 3 fold open and a flat plastic retainer can be removed PCB 2 is populated with the microprocessor and many small relays This shows the main functions of the relays on PCB 1 This shows the single relay on the back of PCB 3 And there are 2 relays over on PCB 4.

What Are The Relays Behind The SAM Unit? Fortwo 450 From left to right: (black, black, yellow) Left side heated seat. Right side heated seat. Fog lights. 452 Roadster Yellow left: Windscreen wipers. Yellow right: Fog lights. Black left: Left heated seat. Black right: Right heated seat. What About Microchips? There are surprisingly few IC packages inside the SAM unit. The main one however is the Motorola MC9S12DG256C which is a 112 pin 16-bit device composed of standard on-chip peripherals including a 16-bit central processing unit (HCS12 CPU), 256K bytes of Flash  EEPROM and a whole load of other stuff that means very little to me.
